I though jazz was when you were playing all the right notes at all the right times, and it still sounds weird. LOL. Just kidding.

All about the bass should cover Bass Vi instruments (bass vi, schecter hellcat vi, Ibanez src6 etc) . It would be nice to get a bass players opinion on these

@zak8475 6 лет назад

Would love something like that, I think they only stock bass vi's at andertons though

@HappyTreeFreak666 5 лет назад

I would realy like a vid like that would be very interesting. I could tell you how I feel about the Squier Bass VI and the SRC6 (dont own them, just played em in the store): They do not sound that well played through a bass amp, since the shorter scale and the thinner strings thinn out the low end a lot, played like a guitar through a guitar amp and overdriven sounds like hell breaks loose. Especially the SRC6 would probably kill in a Metal Band, and used correctly could replace a bassist. Classic Basslines don't sound that great, but you get the register and the frequencies needed, playing powerchords on these sounds heavy as fuck. Sorry if there are any typos, english is not my first language

@sliceofsparta8985 3 года назад

If you're a bassist skilled with scales and arps on guitar as well, I recommend getting a 7-string bass and tuning it the same as a 7-string guitar: BEADGBE. That's the same as the one in this video with the highest two strings dropped a half step. Then all your chords work! Perfect place to use your higher-voiced drop-2 chords.

@armignac 3 года назад

I like the tuning with the high C pretty much. Because I am skilled with scales ;)

@awesomemachine3824 6 лет назад

I loved the beginning, the low end on the rhythm bass was amazing.

@PrincessBalamb 6 лет назад

I actually owned the 7 string (BTB747) for a short period of time. Beautiful tone but the combination of 7 strings plus it being a 35" inch scale bass made it killer on the hands when playing anything in the low register for a long period of time.

@davidf2281 6 лет назад

@xXRULESalIXx 6 лет назад

I remember trying to play that Ibanez 6 String at my local music shop, its was absolutely insane although I did love having the extra strings for a larger range however. I'm new so its just still a little unwieldy for me.

@rydermendelson7506 5 лет назад

I imagine it is done all fourths because a bass will be played differently than a guitar. The change to a high b string helps with bar chords, but you will not be strumming chords on a bass. This is definitely geared towards the jazz bassist, who will be soloing. This allows a seamless transition while playing a difficult lick. It goes all fourths because the third between the e and b would just be useless.

@DapperHesher 5 лет назад

That's the third iteration of Ibanez BTB's seven sting bass, actually. I've got both a BTB-7E and a BTB-7F (fretless, J-market only) second gen models. The first were glossy with gold hardware (puke), the second were natural finishes w/ black chrome hardware. The BTB747 there have the current BTB features, revised body cut, stainless steel frets, zero fret, and body end truss rod. Also, you don't have to keep that dreadful high string on there. Shift everything and go low!!! 8-D

@babytiny5807 5 лет назад

I own this bass, factory gauges are .020p/.032/.045/.065/.080/.100/.130 and yes, fanned frets work very well. I have a strandberg boden 8 string, the higher scale length on bottom for lower tones combined with the playablity on top makes such a welcomed difference. Sorry for bringing this up 3 months late

@iliasliakos6692 6 лет назад

the intro was kick-ass

@MellonVegan 6 лет назад

So this one was out before (with different pickups, it seems like) and a slightly different bevel. I have it right here. Also, the bassist of Veil of Maya plays one (to solo along with the guitarists, he said).

@BatEatsMoth 5 лет назад

The new fretboards are jatoba; that's why they look light compared to rosewood. Supposedly, it's better for midrange and sustain.

@nick.raptis 6 лет назад

Wait, it'sa BTB so it has the large string spacing AND it's a 7 string?

@BassMeisterable 6 лет назад

despite being a BTB, the 7 string version has 15.5mm spacing.

@nick.raptis 6 лет назад

Kich I see. SRs have 16.5 on 5 and 6 strings BTBs have 19 on 5, 17 on 6 and 15.5 on 7 strings. Thank Jaco!

@ducas8937 6 лет назад

Aren't the 5 and 6 btbs 18mm?

@nick.raptis 6 лет назад

Tiago It's on the ibanez site. That's where I did my little research.

@miguels.b.2749 2 года назад

Are 7 string basses recommended? There is one Ibanez BTB 747 for sale where I live in, and they are pretty rare, hard to find. Yet I'm not sure if it is worth the investment (almost 1,050 $us). I'm a bassist with guitar skills as well, I can play both no problem. I mostly play rock/metal but I can also play other genres.

@deviationblue Год назад

You can find them used on reverb for $550 bc no, they’re not really worth it for most people. The extra string is conventionally a high F, not anything lower than the B…They buy one and realize it’s a lot of high end and most bassists just won’t use it - and simply take the L. But for the few that do, this is absolutely ace.

@Firstmajortomlikestoticker 5 лет назад

@scantronbeats 4 года назад

Need a 7 string fretless from Ibanez with 24 frets (if they could go 28 frets would be cool but their pickup and overall design doesn't make that look likely, happy they consistently do 24)

@Just-Michael 6 лет назад

Was thinking one of them might be an extra long scale bass to tune an octave down below 8 string guitars. :(

@royalcat10 6 лет назад

Unfortunately, an octave lower than 8 string guitars is right on the cusp of being inaudible to humans. That's an F#0, which is about 23hz, the lowest we can hear is an E0, at roughly 20hz, or one octave below a standard bass. While it'd be interesting, we wouldn't be able to hear it as much as we'd feel it, which I guess has it's uses but very niche.

@Just-Michael 6 лет назад

royalcat10 - yeah I had the Dingwall basses in mind. However, playing at the same octave makes the mix too thin. What I do is play a 4 string tuned the same as the lowest 4 strings and then generate a sub octave and mix them together. So you have the clarity of the higher octave with the feeling of the lower octave. There are some bands that do have the bass tuned that low though. Even then, I have the 8 string tuned to DGDGCFAD for my own music.

Where to get 7 string sets?

@kevincao8856 6 лет назад

Matt Chapman from the Golden Gate Bridge

@royalcat10 6 лет назад

Just custom build your set, really. The bottom 5 strings are the exact same you'd find for a 5 string bass, which are plenty common. And then the upper two strings, the C and F are easy enough to find, as they really are just regular guitar gauges. It's not too difficult to get a 7 string set put together.

@m00plank90 6 лет назад

royalcat10 I have to build sets now and it's a pain in the arse. And bloody expensive.

@Grumdot 6 лет назад

Matt Chapman Obviously you will have to go online, ( I have to go online to find good strings for my 6-string bass) but they are out there in a set. (It isn't necessary to go into Frankenstein mode).

If you just wanna dip your toes into 7 string territory though: Get the Harley Benton 7 string for a third of the price. If you know that this is something you wanna do: get the Ibby, it's amazing. Or if you're rolling around in cash have GNG build you one :D

You will need to get used to the “floating thumb” technique.

@Gothic_Analogue 6 лет назад

I mute my strings with my thumb and pinky finger on my 5 string. I can’t use my palm because it feels strange but it produces the same muted effect. I would presume you could transfer that technique to these 6 and 7 stringed basses.

With proper technique developed through practice. Practicing with headphones helps really isolate parts of your technique you need to work on.

@sivertSt02 6 лет назад

can you play a six string base just like a normal guitar, question from a guitar player

@milesparker557 6 лет назад

If it's tuned EADGBe, then you can kinda play it like a guitar. But the neck's gonna be wider and strings are farther away

@QuarrelsomeLocalOaf 6 лет назад

"Standard" long scale six string bass tuning is BEADGC, you'd probably be more interested in a Fender Bass VI that's pretty much a regular standard tuned guitar stretched out to 30" and tuned an octave down with heavier strings.

@hairychris444 6 лет назад

TBH You can tune a bass exactly how you want. I played bass tuned CGCFA in an old band, following the guitars. But, for the OP, bass plays and sounds a hell of a lot different to guitar. Once guitars go much over 27 inch scale they also start to sound weird esp. the unwound strings (the whole harp/piano thing Lee mentions here) as the overtones the strings generate change. Works with bass better than guitar IMO.

@Grumdot 6 лет назад

MR_BEETROOT I suppose you could. But the thing is, as 6-string bass player, I'm not trying to step on the guitar player's toes. I'm still staying in my lane as a bass player. The extra strings just add flexibility, especially in smaller groups. It really is more of an instrument for jazz fusion, or gospel. Hope that answers your question.

I don't want more high strings,I want more BOTTOM END IN THE BASSMENT,can anyone clarify is the low B as low as it goes,regardless of whether you are playing a 5,6,or 7,if I am a BASS player why would I want extra strings that are venturing into guitar string territory??? I wouldn't,so if someone out there could clear that up for me,it would be much appreciated.Cheers peeps!😁

@Ronofthedead07 2 года назад

I think there exist basses with a low F# string but they are rare and super expensive. More people just use a 5 or 6 string bass with heavy gauge strings , down tune them to whatever they need, and adjust the truss rod for the increased tension. Extra long scale basses (35+”) really lend themselves well to very low tunings.

@gianlucabassi8853 9 месяцев назад

I find the b string awfully low so a 6 string Bass with EF stringd would be a perfect compromise

@samwarrener8281 6 лет назад

Wtf I didn't even know these were a thing😁😁😂

@jposega 6 лет назад

Cool video, great playing.It's a bit misleading to outright claim that a bass with more than 5 strings isn't for people with small hands. With proper technique, most players would be able handle a 6 or 7 string. An Ibanez SR506 was my first extended range bass 10+ years ago; now my co-main bass is a Dingwall ABZ6, and I'm 5'6'', with average (not large, but not 'presidential' small) hands.

@retorique 6 лет назад

His pinky is the size of my index finger, damn.

@EpictheEpicest 6 лет назад

My biggest issue with some of those SR basses is the thinness of the finish. I've seen so many on the used market or even as floor models with finish worn through to the wood. Some of this year's models have the thicker finish but I would never buy the SR500 or the old fanfret model for that reason.
