@roccafella142 rickenbackers are the just rulers of bass kingdom

[MultiKeithp]

Always a pleasure to walk in on your sound check ;-) !

[vlakarados]

at first I really didn't like the sound, but later I found something in it, great videos, enjoy them all

[Socioistic]

I think I recall on one of your videos with this bass, you stated that your D string is a cello string or some such?

[GBagley]

@Socioistic - Yes, it's tuned C#F#BEAD here. Lowest 3 are Thomastik Infeld Acousticores (broze wound over nylon core, and EAD set, tuned down). Then it's a silver flatwound wrapped over gut cello string (I think it's a cello G string, tuned down). Then it's 2 plain gut bass viol de gamba strings (don't remember their intended tuning offhand).

@GBagley

Wow. Well you got an incredible sound out of that thing. Thank you for sharing this with us when you can, Greg.

[rocafella142]

what scale is this bass? it looks like a 34. But a 34 scale 6 string would be nuts.

[mOrtpengu1n]

@rocafella142 Tell that to Ibanez, Music Man, Warwick...

[rocafella142]

@mOrtpengu1n Yea except that Ibanez is most likely shitty. But MM and Warwick are the Lamborghini & Ferrari of Basses so of course they would be good. But would any other company dare to try and have a good B string?

[GBagley]

@rocafella142 - Ibanez, MM, and Warwick generally aren't custom made instruments - though they make some great basses (I had a Warwick SSII for a while; fantastic instrument). There are plenty of 34" scale basses with great B-strings (like my Fodera!). I've had a B-string on this bass too, at 30" scale and it sounds fine.

[rocafella142]

@mOrtpengu1n But then again these Kinal are high quality instruments as well.

[GBagley]

@rocafella142 - It's a 30" scale.

[Rubenble]

Didn't like the sound of the bass, though :/

[sardhikhaansi]

The clicky pick sound kinda ruins it for me :/

[AnnaDahmer666]

Omfg, I still want one of these bastards one day :-)

[supermanakasean]

you should post a vid of you playing regular guitar

[GBagley]

@supermanakasean - I don't really play regular guitar (don't have one either).

[supermanakasean]

haha just skinnier strings, you should try it

[Wierdoinc]

How do you afford all these magnificent basses?

[GBagley]

@Wierdoinc - I have a job that pays me money. Money can then be used in exchange for magnificent basses.

[braberdebrabel22]

@GBagley Win ...

[wedgeoflemon]

@GBagley how do you have enough time to be awesome at the bass with a job that pays you enough money to afford these magnificent basses?
