The stare-down at the end gives me the creeps

I love the knobs he's nicked off of a little Marshall MS-2. Nice touch.

Ohhh a medium scale Evo sounds interesting! Yes.

Well that's hideous.

Was just to post about these, surely anyone about to spend that much on a bass knows how to google a brand name.

Looks like it'd work great as a whammy-bridge. What a donut

I can't comment on them 2 particular models, as I only have a Harley Benton MB-4 But I can say they're great build quality, especially at the price point. Mine had smooth fret ends and only needed a minor set-up to get going, tuners were a bit stiff but they hold the tuning really well.

If anything I'm more interested in trying some out. Great news.

To each their own but IMO they're a bit naff and 90% of the time they're charging you more for it purely because of the artist. Take Flea's jazz bass. Brand new they're £900-£1000 for a MIM jazz. On the other hand Adam Getgood's signature Dingwall range was really well priced and it helped Dingwall to become more popular. (I even had one for a short while and it was a dream to play) I'd buy one if I got a real good deal on it I suppose, I prefer to buy budget instruments and change some things around and make it my own, rather than buying a signature series.

I never really saw the appeal of a relic bass myself until I found a brand new Vintage V4 Icon for a steal at £200 so I nabbed it. The relic-ed parts on the neck and fittings were really authentic looking but the body was terrible, looks much better after I took to it with a scalpel and some sandpaper though. Would I buy one again? ... Meh? (picture on the stand is before I made it better... or worse depending on your view)

Thanks! much appreciated

One of my favourite Guy Pratt basslines Also I forgot to flip the video. Newbie mistake

The only new stuff I see is the finishes and the active electronics. Both of which don't do a lot for me in particular. Apart from maybe that green one.. This seems like a range they "have" to put out to stay in the limelight. Meh overall.

Oh nice! That purple pearl is tempting. Think I'll message and ask if he does MB-4 plates, thanks!

Oh I need to know where you got that plate from! Definitely want to change it

Yeah same the strings it came with sound surprisingly good. Apart from the action which I had to adjust, everything else was set up well, truss rod and intonation are really good.

I have the 4 string version of this. Insane quality for the price, I prefer passive pickups so this was a no brainer for me. How's the low B on the 5string?
