One thing that really blows me away is that (excluding the elusive XS-58) EVERY color, EVERY body style, EVERY finish and EVERY neck has been made available left-handed. Thank you for caring about us lefties, Garry. I hope that Sir Paul buys one of each!
Did loads of gigs with GG back in the 70s & 80 before INXS became huge. These basses look and sound fantastic, nice review. I want one! The XS3
Thanks for watching glad you like em! 👍🏻🤘🏻
Love the reverse P switch. Great option and the first time I've ever seen this. Great playing as usual Craig.
Thanks! Glad you dig it
That pickup is stunning. Wish it was available aftermarket!
You and me both!
Gary is a great bassist! These basses are a great idea! Excellent demo!
Glad you like them!
Great tone. 🇺🇸👍thanks for posting.
I saw those beauties hanging out behind you in a couple of the Student Focus episodes...was hopingvfor this demo! Thanks as always, Craig 😁
Ha! Good eyes! Thanks for watching :)
Love the fact you've reviewed this bass man. Gary is one of my favourite bass players. I can't afford one of these right now but does this one ever sound so cool!
My pleasure! Happy to spread the good sounds :)
Ps be sure to check out the interview I just posted with him too!
@@Basslessonsmelbourne will check it out now 👍
Ahhhh, this is sick!!!
Great job on the video Craig!
I’m actually gassing pretty hard over these things!
Thanks man! The don't call me the Gasman for nothing! ;)
Smart Pickup!
Yeah it’s a cool design, especially considering it’s all passive.
@@Basslessonsmelbourne and that it was Gary's design/creation!
Great playing man!! basses sound great!
Yeah thanks man, they really do sound massive!
Oh man! Now I’ll have to sell stuff so I can get one of those beautiful basses without my wife killing me! Pretty sure simply picking her favourite colour wouldn’t cut it.
Well presented - these sound great! Bonus marks for the Nostromo shirt #Alien
Ah thanks man! Nice spot with the Alien T Shirt ;)
Is this inspired on the same idea as the G&L L-1000? A humbucker in p-position? What would be the differences?
No it’s a totally different design. The L1000 is a killer bass but it doesn’t offer traditional split humbucker (p bass configuration) in regular or reverse, like the GGB basses can. Thanks for watching!
@@Basslessonsmelbourne The possibility of split coil is definitely a fantastic addition. In that regard, it would be nice to hear an example of it with the tone down, to see whether it can do Jamerson sound convincingly. Would you say that, the pickup being by nature much hotter than a 60s split p, will struggle to convey some of that vintage p wool?
@@UriSala good question! The pickup is definitely on more of the aggressive side, but a lot of that 60s wool is down to muting, technique, old strings, recording techniques etc as opposed to just the pickup. As you can hear it does a decent job at being a P pickup, so theoretically you should be able to adapt it to whatever flavour of P you like.
@@Basslessonsmelbourne Is this pickup for sale by itself? I read somewhere Nordstrand helped Garry with the final development...Do you know of a Nordstrand pickup with the same possibilities?
@@UriSala At the moment the pickups are not available seperately as Garry says they are designed to work together. I know there are Sadowsky basses with Nordstrand designed pickups of a similar design so maybe you could investigate that?
Amazing sounding, but speaking as a competent bass player, this is out of my league price wise. If however the pick-ups were offered by themselves in order to mod a bass, would happily part with my money.
Cool! Overall the Fender slant is (IMHO) totally counterproductive adding bite where it’s needed the least. And the same goes for fullness. Reverse or no slant really is better.
So you prefer the reverse P sounds and the single coil tones?
Sounds great, but I won´t buy a new bass (or a car) with scratches. Matter of taste
It sounds just as boring as a Fender.
At a mere $5000 price point.
