Heathy Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I like the idea of a passive Stingray, but the absence of the tone knob and the oversized volume knob just turns this into a novelty item IMO. I'm sure that the 50 will sell, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Not my kind of bass, but he sure does have a point about players' versatility against that of the instrument. I don't know who the drummer is - but that video should be shown to every other drummer around. Awesome. Really should check out some Vulfpeck as I've never really heard them. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I love everything about this bass, except the look that makes me want to 🤢 puke 🤮 oops, did it. Terrific players too, but, man, how is it possible to have such bad taste ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think it looks fantastic, simplicity and function. The first 50 sold out on their website in like 2 hours or something. Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthumb Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Nice bass but I'd have to change that knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Don't know about you, but I always get a positive and happy vibe when watching Joe Dart. Love his sound, what he plays and all of the guys he is playing with. It's not about the gear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Why is it nailed to a mic stand and not on a strap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 It is one dimensional though. It all sounded the same to me Sure play with different techniques but the sound was pretty much ditto. I love Joe Darts playing and I've been listening to him since his playing on 'The Olllam' album 7 or so years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clip looks like it was recorded at the same time as the Fearless Flyers videos with Cory Wong and Mark Lettieri. They all use those stands as bit of a gimmick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Joe Darts playing and I've been listening to him since his playing on 'The Olllam' album 7 or so years ago. Certainly when Jack Stratton was demonstrating its versatility, I could barely tell the difference (a bit more attack with the pick, but not much more than that). Change out that knob for something more discreet (a Jazz bass knob perhaps) and it'd look much better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If I had to go 'one knob' I'd want a tone knob. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I've never used a volume knob on a bass! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
