New bass FTW

[TeddyGNOP]

I just got this bass. I've played with it in the shop before, I figured it'd be a nice addition to my collection. They ended up shipping the wrong one, so I'm waiting to pick it up for a while. Did I make a good decision, good sir?

[dJunGi]

@TeddyGNOP You did. For the price, this bass is a lovely instrument. Unfortunately I no longer have it, as mine got stolen! :(

[slickrickrage]

are you able to tune that bass to EADGBE if so how?

[Jamiewaldie1992]

@slickrickrage yeah you should be able to all you need is the right strings get a 6 string set and use the 5 highest for the 5 lowest on this then get an e string meant for guitar or something. i'm sure it's possible somehow

[TeddyGNOP]

@Jamiewaldie1992 He'd have to replace the nut, they wouldn't sit right. Even still, he'd have to take it to a professional to have it set up, cause the whole bass would be completely out of wack. Be better off just getting one of those VI basses like the Schecter Hellcat VI or the Fender Bass VI. They're essentially the size of a baritone guitar, tuned an octave down. It's a lot closer to what he's looking for, much easier that trying to customize a 6string guitar.

@Dlectronic hey buddy,

may I ask what the action is like on this bass? is it nice and low?

Thanks very much!

[Dlectronic]

@jjVI It is, and mind you it can be adjusted like most other basses. it is quite easy to keep it nice and low on the bass.

[KarbunkulMusic]

that thing got some serious sustain :)

[Dlectronic]

@KarbunkulMusic Actually, I am using a sustain effect on a pedal. I didn't intend to be sneaky; I just forgot to mention it in comments, ha.

[GrayXIII]

@Dlectronic What kind of pedal are you using for the sustain?

[Dlectronic]

@GrayXIII It's a Boss ME-50B. To tell you the truth, I don't think it's anywhere near worth its price tag. I think it's like $250, but I don't remember. It has been a while since it was purchased, and since then it got stolen! :(

[plople1]

@KarbunkulMusic hahahahah!!! the first time i heard it, i was like... DANG!! but it is a sustain effects pedal lol

[UncutMetal]

howd you get that A to keep ringing out that whole time?

[WhiteBassCT]

Hey man..your sound is very cool..and also the bass is cool! 5*

[TheSmooshster]

Nice skills you got there. I have the same bass, and I love that damn thing.

[PhuckHue2]

nice resonance

[drummerboy13000]

[ivx93]

well done man

[Dlectronic]

@ivx93

Thanks..And yours is well done too. Glad to see more people using the bass!

[pax404]

Which effect are you using in this video? Tnx

[DrCrazyKA]

i love this bass, sounds amazin, how much did u pay for it, and is it the spalted maple version?

[Dlectronic]

I payed about 400 with tax...375 ish without tax...I got a deal on it, but the price is very reasonable for what kinda of instrument you get. And you bet, this is the maple version :) spalted

[malupeetun]

nice tone.. is that bass too heavy??

[Dlectronic]

Its definitely substantial...feels solid for sure. but its no back killer. not TOO heavy.

[ivx93]

I have this bass

It is a little heavy but as Dlectronic says

is not TOO heavy for being a 6 string

You get used to it

[OliRancidTen]

reverb is used i think, because of the slight echo, sounds great and i am thinking of buying this bass, the esp ltd b-206 right?

[DespairsRox]

im getting that bass in the mail on tuesday. i cant wait. i LOVEEE your tone

[BlamFace]

You = Win.

Keep it up!

Another reason to consider bass as the greatest instrument known to mankind.

after triangle.

[UncutMetal]

sick stuff

[dystinc7]

i payed almost 600 for a 5, and i can get this 6 string for under 500? i cant believe what a waste of my money

[juggaloscumdog]

im currently waiting for that same bass to arrive

[billmalta1]

nice!

[serazac25]

solid tone , though the pick ups were going to be weak or whatever lol

greetings from mexico

[IIXIAceIXII]

Guitar effect?

[Dlectronic]

No? Why do you ask, the high range perhaps? All notes played are simply in the basses range. I personally love it..the range freedom and such (some may only want 4 string range)..but no, no effects other than reverb was used. (I should have been using the compressor to even the sound out but oh well).

[vrooomuk]

Very nice - so nice that I ordered my own ESP bass on that back of this vid. Stay inspired dude.

[TrippleAces]

Great playing and, nice bass!

[meatyclaws]

is that a esp b-206

[Dlectronic]

it is indeed. :)

[deadbabyeater00]
