descendent87 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Just been watching a video of Bad Religion at the warped tour and I've fallen in love with Jay Bentleys bass, only problem is I have no idea what it is. Screenshot isn't brilliant as he keeps moving about so couldnt get a clear shot, but here's the video Any help identifying this bass would be much appreciated Edited August 3, 2009 by descendent87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 He always used to use P's then Schecter's wierd he should change to Epi's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
descendent87 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) wasnt expecting a reply that quick, thanks guys. looks like I know what I'm saving for next then. Yeah I knew he used to use Schecters so checked their site but couldnt see it on there Hmm might have to try and find a shop around here with one of these to try [quote name='Epiphone']t's a long-scale, semi-acoustic electric bass with a tone so pure and natural it'll give you goose bumps[/quote] [quote name='Jay Bentley']It's really a natural, beautiful sounding bass. That being said, I'm in Bad Religion... and there is no room for natural sounding bass onstage! So I removed all the tone and volume pots (we never turn down!), swapped the pick-up out with a Dimarzio split p, threw on a brass nut and now it just screams![/quote] Edited August 2, 2009 by descendent87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass line from Epiphany is great but blatantly plagiarised (probably in an homage to there friends) Edited August 2, 2009 by waynepunkdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I used to own one, they are awesome. I love the black ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
descendent87 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 really want to try one now, yeah it would have to be black if i got one and would probably take the pickguard off aswell. Only thing i'm not sure about is the tone, might have to swap out the pickup for a more punk sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Probably get a more Punk sound and a very similar look out of one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
descendent87 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Nice! but I'm guessing the price tag is quite a bit more than an epiphone (not that it matters as I can't afford either at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarPig Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Not normally a bass id go for, but that gretsch is sexaaaaaay! *EDIT* Price tag isnt no-where near as sexy though Edited August 2, 2009 by WarPig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

descendent87 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 yeah thats the one, got it for £150 from soundslive as it had been dropped and was a small chip on the body (after playing it at every gig for the past year it now has a few more to go with it) really good bass though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 How bout one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFM Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks like the body is from a Guitar Hero LP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
descendent87 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) yeah does look like it's a guitar hero body, not too keen on the heart either. Finding a shop with one of those jack casady epi's seems like it's going to be a bit of a task. Especially as my local music shop has about 4 basses (usually 1 squier, 1 fender, 1 ibanez and 1 unknown make) Edited August 3, 2009 by descendent87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Fuzz in Nottingham have a gold one. Pity Epiphone don't do a 5-string model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
