alli is the sexiest drummer i've ever seen/heard.

Cool jam.



[biggstile]

I like the drummer, his work on the hi hat, and bass. His snare is tuned cool. Please tell him that! Oh, you ain't too shabby either.

@biggstile Thanks mate :) You might be surprised to hear that it's actually a girl on drums, and yes she does play very well! She's right up there with the best drummers i've played with/ seen play in my areas, and definitely gives the guys a run for their money! Just goes to show that girls can bring the funk too :)

you think this would be hard for someone with slightly smaller hands than the average joe to play comfortably with this? i nvr tried a 6 string before. anyways i might just stick to 5 strings lol

[basstrom88]

@FunkySpunky91 Given the relatively wide string spacing and large fretboard of the BTB you might be at a bit of a disadvantage. But I have seen pretty petite people play six-strings (Tetsuo Sakurai comes to mind) without any apparent hassles. If your hands aren't comfortable, there are six strings with smaller string spacing (Ibanez SR models and Gerald Veasley signature). Overall it isn't much worse than a five string

@basstrom88 thanks for the info. Too bad i can't find any of these basses anywhere lol. I would love to have the Gerald Veasley signature but that is way to expensive for my taste. great playing btw peace!

[ventil4]

great playing.is that  rbx 800 w or 400w,i love the sound?

[basstrom88]

@ventil4 Thanks mate :) It's an 800 watt cabinet

[jeanlemarchais]

it's the same sound of stuart zender in jamiroquai..

[Xanadu1115]

Awesome tone

[verasbass]

Cool, but and the pizzicato,finger style? in my opinion is the true sound of the instrument.

Thank you

I almost bought this exact bass today! I love the neck accessibility all the way to the 24th fret. This sounds so amazing that I may be trading in my Yamaha TRB 6!!!

[Basstard22]

@womanlybassplayer You allmost bought it? Why allmost?

[womanlybassplayer]

@Basstard22 I didn't have the Yamaha TRB 6 with me to trade at the moment, but I'm really thinking about it!

[Basstard22]

@womanlybassplayer Ah, just like that. Well the TRB 6 is a fantastic bass aswell. But, if you want too experience the sound of another brand, why not trade it of course? I'm wishing you the best with it, let me know how it's going if you trade your TRB 6. Cheers!

@Basstard22 Got the Ibanez BTB 776 today! Merry Xmas to me! Thanks for the inspiration.

[Basstard22]

@womanlybassplayer Very cool man! Merry Xmas to you indeed! I wish you the best with it!

The Awakening...love it

[jimbo5631]

whats the playability like on the neck? as i love the look and the sound just havent had the chance to play it

[basstrom88]

@jimbo5631 Considering how wide the neck is, it's relatively thin so it's comfortable to play. If you're coming from playing a 4 string (like I did) it'll initially feel like playing a surf board, but it's easy to adjust to (especially if you have long fingers). The string spacing is quite wide so slap is still easy to play. It can also be set up with a very low action with little fret buzz, and the 35" scale puts plenty of tension on the B string.

[jimbo5631]

@basstrom88 ah thanks im upgrading this to from another 6 string so the adjustment should'nt be too hard
