In this episode, I open a fresh new Ktaxon Burning Fire bass guitar in a matte black finish and give you my thoughts on it. #music #guitar #bass #unboxing #review #rock #metal
I want to learn how to play bass guitar, i actually have this Exact matt guitar in my cart right now! Thank you for this review!! I'm so glad i ran across this Thumbs up 👍🏽
I played a tiny bit in the 90s, but didn't stick with it. I ordered the flame top. I thought I'd give it another go. Just ordered this one with a little amp. Can't wait to give it a go. Thanks for the review.
yea i rember last year when i picked up trying to learn bass i looked at these but grabbed the donner instead maybe illl treat myself again this xmas as they got a sweet sunset one but idk i like that black too ha
18:42 That little scuff is probably why it's an unbranded Ktaxon instead one with Glarry branding and a slightly higher price. I heard ones that don't pass quality control for Glarry gets sold as Ktaxon.
Sure thing! Yeah...you're right. They must have sold out. I saw a lot of these cheap guitars going fast this weekend. They sold out of both guitars my son and I were looking at.
dude ha got a 20 dollar coupon on ebay on this thing got it today damn its sweet thinking back years ago paying 400 for a steinberger and getting this for under 80 bucks is a steal threw my red dio sticker on this and ill get some black strings and this will be sick !
I paid 400 for my Spectre (wanted the Steinberger) 20 years ago and I feel the same way. Sure the Spectre is a better bass, but at more than 4 times as much. I can record a bass track with either using the same amp and I can only slightly tell the difference. I was thinking of going the sticker route, seing you can't really polish the matte body. Maybe I still will. Looking at a Jazz Bass clone next.
@@Mastabas2112 The one that looks like a B.C. Rich black one 115$ the pick ups are nice but the neck needs work. I'm going try and clean you the action and the frets.
@@anarchychicken69 I got mine set up professionally and it's pretty smooth. He said, mine didn't need a lot of filing, just a couple or minor burs. I've been playing the same Spector for 20 years, so I've been spoiled. Honestly, all the hyper-focus on fretboards and such was never a thing until seeing people online talk about it. back in the day, we just bought guitars, maybe adjusted the action and tuned them up.
@@Mastabas2112 totally agree I really worked on the action. I just got two frets that are always dead. Yeah I've never had to deal with the fretboard before. Had a nice fender p and it never had any problems no matter how low the action was. Start the truss rod it's not bridge. I'll fix it I'm not going to file a lot.
Yeah, the matte black only seemed to be in the Ktaxon version, but the gloss is cool too! I was just at Guitar center this afternoon for my son's guitar lesson and I was playing some of the Squires and Ibanez/Jackson $200-$300 basses and hands down my $90 Ktaxon blows them all away in my opinion.
@mikehicks3090 I prefer the lightness of it. I'm old and get tired quickly, so the lighter, the better. I have a decent strap that keeps it in place. I usually sit down most of the time, so it doesn't move much. Speaking of which. I need to start moving more. I've become too sedentary.
@@Mastabas2112 yeah, I totally get that, for sure. I actually kind of prefer the opposite, though - I want a bit of weight, a bit of heft to my basses - adding those weights put the total weight at just a shade over 8 pounds, which is still about a pound and a half less than my Peavey Grind, and a hell of a lot less than the heaviest bass I ever owned, which was a Traben Phoenix. I'm in my 50's myself, so I totally get the physical limitations, I guess it's just a "feel" thing for me.
@@mikehicks3090Definitely a feel thing. Some people complain about the "baseball bat" neck on these basses, but I actually kind of prefer it. It's weird. I like a feather-weight light bass with a big honking neck. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it works for me for some reason.
I'll play more soon. I live in an apartment, so it's hard to crank it. I can't seem to get my AI to cooperate, but I could put my condenser mic up against my amp on my desk, which I intended to do with my New Orange Crush Sanna craws may or may not bring. My description of the sound has not changed. It's bright and trebly with a bit of Aluminum can (tinny) to it. It reminds me of a low end Jackson bass. It's not my favorite sound, but for 90 bones, I find it doable.
