Does the bass neckdive?...even a little..i.e. while standing?..

[PikaMarioMan]

What a great sound. kinda of like an upright double bass...

[xDannyDeathcorex]

niceee. what is the factory tuning of this bass?

[Dirt2gold]

Got BTB775PB, awesome sound and so beautiful. What is your opinion? I want a BTB770PB AM but one of my friends said it's not useful to have the same basses. I don't quite agree.  They are not the same!

[sepheroth979]

nice sound but it doesnt come throug the camera properly u need a dierct link up or summit

[misterbassist]

noted. ;)

[Inkawgneegrow]

that's a slick groove, man.  *thumps up*

[SyntaxErrorinline10]

Nice.

Is this bass active or not?

[misterbassist]

it is. 18 volt pickups. :)

[rirey777]

You need to use batteries for activ, pickups right?

[PikaMarioMan]

@rirey777 YA

[bassman7530]

Hey man, I really dig this video. You've got a great sound, and I like your bass a lot. Ibanez are always great instruments. Their basses and guitars are really spectacular, I think.

Also: not sure if you will remember, but do you know what configuration you were using on your preamp/EQ when you made this video? Your tone sounds really 'edgy' (not sure what else to call it, haha) and I like it a lot, it sounds great with your playing.

[misterbassist]

hey man.. thanks for the kind words.. really appreciate it.. ;) well, basically, eq's turned up to the max.. and i used the bridge pickup.. ;) i never really change my configuration with regards to the low/mid/high knobs.. they're all maxed up.. haha! i change my tone through the pickup balancer knob.. hope that helps! more power! keep the support! :)

[luxmita]

is better Ibanez BTB676 than Yamaha TRB1006?

[mickyhodge]

i prefer the ibanez but its personal taste when it comes down to it

[luxmita]

why?

[mickyhodge]

longer neck, its a 35 inch scale and has bartolini pickups, the neck pickups is really bassey and the bridge is really bright so the pickup balance really makes a difference, its a nice bass

[rirey777]

Play them both, see which one you have a better feel to.

[chadvillar25]

Astig kuya! Tiga antipolo ka ba?

[barret707]

Ive had my 676 for roughly about a year now (within the first week from when ibanez switched from the 556 to the 676) fucking great basses yours sounds to be low on battery though like the pickups sound to be distorting thats bartollinis way of letting u know the batters low

[misterbassist]

hey bro. yeah, i know when it distorts it's running out of bat. however, it's not the case here, the camera i used was just a cellphone's and it couldn't pickup the low sounds. and amen to great basses! this one's a killer. haha! thanks!

[luxmita]

18 volt preamp right?

[misterbassist]

yes!

[RobertBubbyLewis]

you sound good man keep it up..

Bubby
