Check out their site, it had the neck profile, which sold me over other basses, and tone. Very wide range, from a jaco's jazz to geddy's ric, to Geddy's wal to a modern tone
@bl2112 Sweet, those are like the only three tones I ever try imitate with my grs200. I am writing that down, I'm buying a new bass this summer thanks!!
i play in a metal band, and my little first act bass that has 16 frets and 4 strings, isnt workin for the songs were wanna do, so i figured a 5 string with normal amount of frets would get betr tonal range, would this fit the bill?
Depends on what your "normal" amount is frets. I play a 24 fret bass, but there isn't alot of difference between that and a 20,21,22 fret bass. Unless you plan on playing alot of bass solos high on the neck. And A 5 string gives you 5 notes below the E. All depends on what you want.
Hey bro nice cover but I have a quick question for you. I have owned this bass for about a month and a half now and m question to you is.... Have you ever had any problems where your bridge would lower which would cause it to lower? If so, how do you fix this? I have tightened the bridge with an allen wrench but the bridge continues to drop.
Hey man! This bass is obviously really great to play rush stuff with, but i was wondering, is it ok for heavier stuff aswell? Like sepultura/Soulfly/ektomorf stuff?
I can vary the tone to sound dead on to almost all the rush albums. I was looking for a bass and just picked it off the rack and haven't put it back since.
It sounds and feels great. I just played one the other day and it sold me. I've been wanting a Soundgear 4 a while, but I playeed this one and it was just like "Oh my god, YES!!!" LOL! I really like the sound u get while slapping it, it's a very Pig Benis-like sound. I was playing The New Cult King and it sounded exactly like the album version.
Eq on the is weird. The Master volume is all the way open, Pickup balance is even (even amounts of neck and bridge), slap-finger style is all slap and Treble and bass boost cut is flat.
well done. do you feel this bass is too long / have neck diving when playing live or in band practice? might consider this bass

i think u need to practise your right hand technique stay closer with ur fingers at the strings so u dont waste too much energy in single tones

As I have read you play the GS305. Have you tried the GSR205 too?
Could you also tell me, how good the SR305 is. I am not sure which one i shall buy.
