[bassman3379]

great sound on that thing

[sethash540]

Plectrum....

[APOCALYPSESLAYER117]

the colour on this sg is kinda shit

[Mrsfatblackchick]

my uncle went to the local guitar center and bougt one of these bass for only 400$. the reseon it was so cheap the electronics didnt work, side not my uncle owns a guitar repair shop. He took it back to his store and found out one of the wire to the pickups had became loose so a little soder here and there and 5 minutes later boom instant fix. also the bass was in perfect condetion

[riff4u]

I have the SG supreme....only 400 made. Throw away all the P basses out there. This bass has a wonderful tone it is light and small. This is the best bass I ever played.

[magicalbilly]

@riff4u yeah man THROW AWAY that punchy tone for a bass that cost four grand too much and has a muffled indistinct tone that would get buried in the mix of any live setting.

[CorvetteCoonass]

@magicalbilly To me i find these basses very verastile, you can really optimize the sound by running it in stereo and running the minibucker to a guitar amp and the mudbucker to a bass amp, same way Rickenbackers and Ovation Magnums. You would have to put a blend knob on the tone control for it to work right though so it could have stereo separation all the way to the jack. I'd get a faded SG bass though, much cheaper and bare bones and still a USA made Gibson. These basses are really cool.

[magicalbilly]

@CorvetteCoonass but doesnt that mean changing the wiring?

when i pay nearly a grand (for the gibson) for a bass i'm not really comfortable messing with the elctronics.

and for a grand i shouldnt HAVE to mess with it.

[CorvetteCoonass]

@magicalbilly Or you could just run both pickups on full and split the signal to a guitar amp and bass amp/subwoofer. No mods needed for that. Plus if your bass amp has at least 3 times the power of the guitar amps your guitarists are using, then no bass should ever get lost in the mix, the fundamentals would envelope the band.

[Vrrrrrtt]

@magicalbilly

I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down man, but isn't it a little 'neck heavy'?

[PietroRumenta]

@Vrrrrrtt Its neck is heavy yes, and I can't find a way to explain it ot myself, as its neck is much thinner and smaller than fender neck, however it's a little heavier and harder to play damn. Besides I've noticed that the timbre of these pickups is not so different from the Epiphone one

[dwiggerman]

Gibson should stick to making guitars. Their basses sound like shit

[TheMusicMedia100]

Ilove how the hand always follows the camera

[proferic]

Cool looking bass.

[San5a]

may I know the width at the bone and at the 12th fret?

[Foinman]

Do some Cream !

[enoGaming]

i personally dont like the reissue..

[cebulon6969]

I really want one of these basses, but they're just so expensive! . . . at least when you're in college

[yoyodog99]

2questions how much is it and is it good for a first bass

[masterofthesky101]

@yoyodog99 This bass is around £900 $1700

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Love these things. Cool looking, cool sounding. The only bummer is when you let go of the neck, it dives straight to the floor...

[ad1642]

There is a glimpse of Highway Star in there...very cool! and yes it sounds awesome and heavy, any info on the amp used would be appreciated. Thanks.

[gdrugg2006]

What amp are you using? This is the sound I've been looking for.

[ZeroXX360]

why does he play with a pick? is he a guitarist?

[marshman500]

@ZeroXX360 tonal purposes... you should play with both depending on the song...

[isoscelespopsicle]

@ZeroXX360 yes... a bass guitarist

[krycha425]

@ZeroXX360 why he? She, I think:)

[JebusGrist]

@ZeroXX360 Some like a more aggressive attack when playing a more rock oriented riff. I tend to finger when I'm playing jazz, palm muting to give a more upright sound, but when I'm playing rock or metal—particularity with distortion--I prefer a pick.

[Glockenator]

Not a huge fan of the color but it's still cool

[TechSmack]

ugly bass

[maccafan10]

Does it come with industrial strength Sun glasses and a sick bag ?

[FACELESSREBEL22]

What Pedal or amp are you running it through?

[FACELESSREBEL22]

What Pedal or amp are you running it through?

[MasterChiefgame3]

cool bass but i like fender basses more

[darkside621]

...that is running through OD right?

Right?!

Because if it isn't...I'm fucking buying one.

[01regaro01]

That is my favored bass. It is simply fantastic !!!

[MeLovesPie]

What I like about youuu... hahaha

[jamahl]

the sound is awesome, what amp is that?

[syndrome666]

Now that's a Gibson, sounds retro. That part between 0:09 and 0:14 sounds like a bass riff from one of Joy Division's songs. Even the sound of this bass reminds me of Joy Division.

[MagnificentFiend]

@syndrome666 I thought exactly the same thing about the first nine seconds :D

[syndrome666]

@MagnificentFiend that's actually the same bass they use. Except it's an original not a reissue.

[MagnificentFiend]

@syndrome666 I thought Peter Hook used a Hondo copy of a Rickenbacker 4001 when he was in Joy Division.

[AJT041979]

@MagnificentFiend You are indeed correct, although his first bass in the very early days of JD was a cheap EB-0 copy. He then got the Hondo which he played through the Unknown Pleasures era, then his first Yamaha BB1200 during the recording of Closer.

I am a nerd.

[tonyvegas13]

how much is that one going for?

[BlueTreecko]

Over  US$450

[chik0ta]

good sound,

different outfit

[MongoStylin]

i think that is the sickest looking bass ive ever seen

[LWRCftw]

@MongoStylin obviously you've never seen the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in Olympic White.

[MrBasementJams]

@LWRCftw its not that great. this is too sick to handle

[kunaikai]

@LWRCftw i have a jaguar olympic white and they look pretty much the same and i would agree with you that the olympic white is the coolest color scheme

[LWRCftw]

@kunaikai 'specially with a tortoiseshell pickguard

[bassharmonica1]

@MongoStylin they may look cool, but they have close to zero brightness in them.

[TheSonsofHorusx]

@MongoStylin you obviously have never seen jackson or esp basses then lol

[MusicalManchild77]

That bass sounds great...very retro...what amp are you using?

[S34n4s4ur]

its like a peach color, i like it

[sonapipian]

deep as "mariana trench"!

very very beautiful!!!
