I fell into Andertons on Friday on the way home from a business trip. Went in looking at a standard 5 string (Ibanez) but with a view to look at multi scale. I was handed the Spector NS Dimension 5 and was so taken by it I went home with it. Don’t worry I did pay before leaving. I absolutely love it. The difficulty of changing to multi scale is much less than going from 4 to 5 string. Lovely looking bass and lovely sound. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional (unlike the service I received from a Brighton based music shop the week before). Thank you Andertons .

@dkpianist 9 дней назад

From various demos on YT, I really like the sound of the Spector. It sounds full and organic to me where other basses often sound raw and edgy. I do wonder if it cuts through though.

@j.williams1774 2 года назад

Beautiful basses. I've been wanting to try a multi-scale six-string.

@revredbeard3289 2 года назад

I’m now the proud owner of 3 Ibanez multi scale basses and have no intention of going back to a standard one. I know they look weird but it took seconds (a minute or two?) to be completely comfortable playing and I wondered why I was ever apprehensive to try one.

@BREAKocean 2 года назад

Which models do you have and what models of other basses did you use to have and how do they compare? I have a 5 string Yamaha with 35" scale and a 4 string 34" spector. I really wanna save up for a 5 string multi-scale bass

@laptoples 4 месяца назад

I bought the Headless 6006 silver 6 string Ibanez with the new T1 pickups and I really love it !!!! I do wish that the pickups were straight up and down instead of diagonal, because it does get in the way of plucking the strings, but it sounds amazing, and versatile. That with Amp modeling, I can get pretty much any sound I want. And it's light as a feather, and I have a back back, so great feel and sound on a lightweight instrument is a win for sure !!! Hope you found something that you like dude ! :-)

I'm intrigued by multiscale, problem at the moment at least where bass is concerned is there's not really any particularly affordable models - it's a lot of money to drop on something you don't know whether it will work for you!

Just be aware - the Spector has an issue with the pickup on the b-string - the magnet doesn't quite cover the string, so it's markedly more quiet than the other strings; difficult to tell when practicing along, but clear when in a band

Imagine if Ibanez could do a five string 32-34 multi scale? Or 33-32. I would love that. Decent low strings and sound but a fuller G-string etc.

@n3rdg4m3r 2 года назад

On the Spector it is a coil split, as with fluence bass pickups it acts like a J pickup coil when split. Edit: the reason why is there's no volume drop when coil splitting is due to the preamp in the pickup matching the level.

@daved2352 2 года назад

I put some of those pickups into my solar and they made the world of difference, absolutely fantastic

@kookie_dow2690 Год назад

My question is why do you use the Ibanez headless bass which has a 35-33 when you could use the Ibanez BTB805ms which is more closely scaled to the Dingwall having a 37-35? They are also available to purchase and are only 1499 compared to the Dingwall or Spector’s 2000-2500 cost. Love the video but it annoys me that the 806ms isn’t getting the same love.

Big Brother is watching ... Chapman made a 4-string multiscale, it makes sense for drop tunings in particular.

@TheMemo659 2 месяца назад

Have a 4 string combustion inbound. A multi scale has been on the "if the clouds ever part" and durned if it didnt rain on me a bit. Not sure what I'll get from it. Most expensive bass in my quiver just a novelty toy I bust out occasionally? My new #1? I'm excited to find out where it lands.

@michisauer Год назад

The Sound on the dingwall is pretty modern not only because of the Bass. On ngs they use a darkglass-preamp which is quite midheavy and has 2 mid-frequenzies and no treble. The combustion-series has an emg-threeband. On the much more expensive Series they use glockenklang, emg or darkglass depending on what you want.

@user-ml3sz3mm5y Год назад

I've had one with glockenklang pre, and it still sounded too sterile for my taste.

@michisauer Год назад

@Василий Петров that's the characteristics of glockenklang itself. They do not have a character of their own. For myself, I have found a quite good thing. Using my cb2 with an ebs microbass 3. I can get mostly any sound out of that combination. My next idea is getting myself a 3rd pickup and another little switch to have following options: Switch off 1 - > bridge solo Switch off 2 -> bridge neck parallel Switch off 3 -> bridge neck series Switch off 4 -> neck solo Switch on 1 -> bridge middle series Switch on 2 -> bridge middle series + neck parallel Switch on 3 -> all series Switch on 4 -> same as Switch off 4 :( Would love to have last position middle solo, but this would require a special 4 way rotary... Anyways. A steril sounding bass can be trimmed to wherever you want. This is why the btbs are so much liked

@user-ml3sz3mm5y Год назад

@@michisauer Idk, I prefer to have the sound I'd like at the source, and then work on it down the signal chain. To each his own I guess :)

@user-ml3sz3mm5y Год назад

@@michisauer I'm playing covers with my band too, and I've played a Spector NS5 for a long time and had no problems. It's anything but sterile. This thing was a boat anchor and the neck was humongous. Now I switched to a Tobias Growler 5 with a Yamaha BB415 as a backup, they work fine for me.

I have a Dingwall Droc and an EHB. Both fantastic and extremely versatile. I actually love the Droc in E(drop d) standard and my EHB in B standard. For you metalheads out there Both can drop a whole step with no issue. The EHB can go a step and a half and still have good tension the Droc can drop 2 and you'll only slightly feel the tension loss. If you want to head amazing examples of both check out the band Teramaze. Their bassist Cameron shreds on both.

I find the Spectors to be too expensive for their level of quality, at least the spector I had bought and then returned due to the treble control being loose and doing nothing. Also no gig bag or even a good carboard box? It sounded good and looked good, but the Dingwall, in my opinion is better value even at a higher price.

@@carlchameleon9847 While there are basses really far better than Ibanez, one's just bound to say ibenez is short of sounding better just because it's made in asia (or just because it's cheaper) compared to ones made in the west. thats usually the mindset - but the truth is its also using bartolini pickups and made by the same wood just like other basses made in the west. i guess what im trying to say is - Ibanez could actually be the winner in all these because you actually get ALL the same features from all these expensive guitars for less or half the price even.

Conversely, Lee is great, much more objective, gives all the necessary info and is much more engaging, providing all the informative one needs. Although I'm a bass player, I really struggled with Nathan's presentational style and ego - does he ever get down to the fundamental bass territoty that most bass players use?

Agreed, he strikes me as an ADHD individual - well meaning but frequently interrupting others and coming across as over bearing and somewhat self centered. While I don’t doubt he’s a friendly and entertaining bloke in real life, unfortunately he distracts from the point of these videos. And I say this as someone with ADHD myself, as I’m quite familiar with his personality. Feels like I’m watching a video of my unmedicated old man, no offense intended.
