Kudos on your wonderful rendition of "All the Things You Are" on that G&L, Russell!

the sandberg sounds and looks amazing, that growl was killer

@peteralexanderbart1527 7 лет назад

If Thomann would make a poll for searching his best moderator for his youtube channel videos I would vote for Mr. Snyder. Cool, smart, relaxed, unpretentious, with good presence,, good performance in front of the camera, and with good english.

@Leiria65 7 лет назад

Didnt know you guys had a YT channel. And that Harley Benton holds up surprisingly well against much more expensive basses

@faithbassed49 7 лет назад

Great video. Surprised by the GL sound, very nice, not fond of the design of the headstock though! My vote would be for the Sire and the good old Fender! Great job demoing all of the basses, sir!

@pwokaren 3 года назад

Great review and it’s refreshing when you see honesty in reviews. I thought it would have been fairer for G&L to review the G&L JB. I did however like the Sandberg the best and couldn’t believe how good the Harley Benton sounded.

@ErikSWE 5 лет назад

The only question I had after this demo was... Natural or Sunburst on the Harley Benton?

@leonardoperes6830 4 года назад

In my opinion the perfect jazz bass is a passive with the 60s pickup position, alder body, maple fingerboard, and round wound strings. Very balanced sound and very versatile!

@aarondavis4341 5 лет назад

Im sold i want a Harley Benton now,but just a question,how does the JB75 hold up next to day a VM70s?

@Cheguebuddha 7 лет назад

Ok Thomann dudes Im starting to dig this show of yours and I already dig your shop so go go! I had the HB JB-75NA lots of bass for the money! Love Harley Benton!

@xMTLKx 7 лет назад

wow, the Harley Benton is far from being ridiculous !

@nikoniko3058 Год назад

It is much far from that! i have one of those and it sounds really good. I like playing it with the tone almost off and i have to say it does really good in that as well, comparable to a P bass.

@StPfaff 7 лет назад

Really enjoyed this one! Very pleasant guy!

@plookie9 6 лет назад

I liked the Fender and the Marcus Miller V7. They sounded very close to each other in this setup.

@pickupghoul4196 8 месяцев назад

Hey Russell, salute! I'm curious on what you said on the minute 17: that you upgrade the Fender Standard Jazz Bass (used in high school). Wow! that's something. May we know what bass was that on your upgrade?

@Labi5150 7 лет назад

Damn them Harleys do sound good at that price. Thank you for the back to back comparison.

Usually i always want time slots to skip around, but you sounded so sad when you said no one wants to hear you talk. So i listened and watched the whole thing no skipping. I think your explanations are very helpful

@skyreadersociety6183 5 лет назад

G&L JB-2 is my main bass. I'd love to be able to afford a Sandberg though.

@edmiller5101 4 года назад

Had a jb2 loved it sold it to a friend when i retired for active jigging But I still have my SB2 that my baby.

@MrDriepinter 3 года назад

I enjoyed that, thank you. Close call between the fender and the sandberg...The Sire sounded very thin with the back pickup i thought. You left the sandberg on the back pickup in the comparison at the end which was kind of a bummer :(

@VibesWithRachel 2 года назад

Does the MM v7 have active pickups? Or an 'active' pre-amp?

@ericcoombs 5 лет назад

What about putting a precision style pickup in a jbass?

@philipmcadam5339 3 года назад

For me, the versatility of the active basses is the way to go. I really like the look of the Sire bass with the tort pick guard.

@musenw8834 2 года назад

Of course active basses offer better choices, but that means you have to have a battery prepared every gig if it's the main bass

@MegaJugganot 4 года назад

That's a couple fo things I like about Sire bases, despite the wonderful 18V preamp, they still have the passive toggle...and a passive tone knob. Almost no active bass still has a passive tone knob...and it such a different effect than active EQ...

Fender J-bass is really light. Like, when i took my SRX-505 after Fender J-bass, i realized that if you try and break my bass against the stage, the stage will break instead.

@airworthy777 4 года назад

I don't like the knob setup of the Sire, there is an active bass has a good knob setup like Fender Elite or Ultra model.

@jameslewis2635 5 лет назад

For me it is between the G&L and the Sandberg. The two seem to have a fuller sound than the rest of them. If you want the traditional Jazz bass sound you might as well just buy the Harley Benton and save some money in comparison to the rest.

Underrated and not well known, but it became famous for being Krist Novoselic (Nirvana) main bass for most of his career with Nirvana, specially on the Bleach and In Utero era

@pickupghoul4196 8 месяцев назад

interesting comment. I got a little bit confused on what he said. I would what was his upgrade?

@RonaldvandenBoogaard 7 лет назад

The HB is really surprising. Didn't expect much for that money. The G&L beat everything handsdown and the old Fender is next up.

@musenw8834 2 года назад

Generally for the cheaper brands such as the Harley Benton and Ammoon, their basses have some lower quality fret wire but still retain quite a level of playability for under $200. Goes to show you can get cheaper basses with decent quality so long as you don't have rattling or loose parts

@Laras94 7 лет назад

I am very interested in which DI box you are using. I am looking forward to your response.

@arpotoo7719 Год назад

"Stand by Me" is not a Motown song, it was issued on Atco records, by artist Ben E. King

@matiaswainerferreyra4622 4 года назад

@hahabass 7 лет назад

Sandberg/Standard Fender.

@MichaelUhler 6 лет назад

hahabass I agree- Sandberg was most authoritative w the delanos/active setup. But fender did the jazz bass thing more typically/better than the others. GnL sounded sanitized. Marcus had it’s own voice which wasn’t bad, but not better than the fender.

@mutantbaby1672 5 лет назад

Nothing here nail the jazz tone like the Fender though you can bet the build quality of the Sandberg is miles ahead.

@MrThelonliestpunk 4 года назад

Fender Jazz for a Motown sound? Mr. Jamerson and Mr. Babbit played P bass and they played on a great number of Motown hits. I like that Fender Standard Jazz with SD 1/4 lb.ers. I like his version of "Stand by Me".

I live in Denmark, have ordered from Thomann most of my equipment and want to order my MM from you as my first bass. Curious why you do not offer the gig bag and tee which come standard in America. I really want to order from Thomann but this is a real disappointment. Thx for replying.

@ThomannsGuitarsBasses 7 лет назад

Please check back with our guitar department - gitarre@thomann.de - In general, we deliver the instruments the way they are sent to us from the manufacturer. Some come with gigbags, some with cases, some barenaked. The guys from the department should know whether there is a gigbag included with the MM you want. //Philipp

@kylecuppett422 6 лет назад

Sire has trim pot to lower output on the underside of controls

@daelowkey 4 года назад

kyle cuppett where? Inside of the metallic plate?

@alfieharries 6 лет назад

It might be an idea to play (with right hand fingers) over the pickup you are using. Otherwise we can't really hear the basses properly

@matthewlunsford4351 4 года назад

I would have liked for reviewer to comment on neck dive, or lack thereoff, for each one. I have hand problems and having to hold neck up disqualifies an instrument in my case. Also a similar review of p or pj basses would be appreciated. Thanks.

@Stratisfied22 7 лет назад

For the money the Squier Classic Vibe Jazz bass is hard to beat. It sounds as good or better than any high end jazz bass iv'e played at a fraction of the cost. For me alnico magnet single coils are the key to a really good sounding jazz bass and the Squier has them and it really does sound amazing. The Sire's also offer a good value with some nice extras like preamp, block inlays, and case.
