You probably aren't allowed to answer this type of question, but do you have a favorite bass?

[BassGuitarMag]

@FriendlyShadow1 - I'm allowed. My favorite tends to change regularly. I have lots of them. Right now, my favorite bass (that I own) is a Mike Lull P5. But my '74 Fender Jazz is right up there at the top too. So is my Ken Smith 6.... so, you can see my problem!

What is the weight on this bass like?

[BassGuitarMag]

@ssjbrolly3 - I don't remember, it wasn't noticeably heavy. Probably in the 9 - 9.5lbs range.

Are there any US guitar makers that use the Glockenklang preamp electronics in their basses? The tone quality is superb.

[BassGuitarMag]

@Bassplayingboy - I don't know.

I like so much the sound of the passive parallel mode in fingerstyle.

Good video.

Thank you Ed for the awesome vid about the Bass. I was checking out many 5 string bass lately. I always prefer fender jazzbass but this bass kick ass! I love this low mid voice so much. I think i´m going to get myself one. I like the simplicity of the bass. just one picup! But i still got so many options with the 3 band eq, active passive mode and the picup switch. I think this will be my new main bass for a few years - maybe i´m going to upload a video about it by myself when i got it :)

Hi Ed, the Zon hanged behind is a TJ signature, right? would you consider doing it justice with a nice little review?

[anahowana]

Hello Ed! nice work as usual! but beware! quality has become your standard and eveyrone expects only the best from you! keep it up man. oh btw, is this a zon tj behind you? did you gave it a review? cheers from Morocco.

@BassGuitarMag Cool, thanks. I'm just looking for good suggestions. I've gotta upgrade from my Squier. ;)

gawsh, that bass is BEAUTIFUL

[dezziwood555]

Looks like a good bass. I think it will be hard to compete in a market saturated with great basses at all price pointsl Another great review from ED!
