These look awesome, like a Jazz Bass on steroids with some nice additional touches. While not cheap, these definitely compete well with offerings from other makers. For my personal needs, I would look forward to a five-string version (MVJ5) to round out my collection.
Bass sounds amazing 60 or 70s spacing on the Jazz’s? Do you know if they have a 5 pb with a jazz pickup in the works? I’m sure flats on their 5 pj would sound amazing🙌🏼👍🏻
Nope. A dead spot means that the notes don’t have nearly as much volume when played compared to the rest of the neck. They are usually around the 5th-7th fret on the G string and sometimes around the 9th-11th fret on the D string but can be anywhere depending on the instrument.
@@ethanlancaster76 I don't think that's quite right. Dead spot notes will have the fundamental die away relatively quickly, leaving only higher harmonics (like the octave and the 12th). A great way to find dead notes on a bass is to plug it into a Boss OC-2 with the 1st octave turned up. If the pedal wants to immediately jump up an octave or a 12th, it's a dead spot.
@@sumeursault a dead spot is just that, there is no fundamental note for there to be any harmonic information. Just search dead spot on a Fender bass and you’ll hear, or rather not hear what he’s referring to in the video. ✌️
Classic dead spot occurrences, is, you play a note, and it quickly fades and rises into harmonics… although I wish he kept the duration of the notes longer during that demonstration, it did sound pretty consistent. I didn’t even begin to hear any of that happening.

Any chance of Ed doing the pbass review?
I think you have to let the note sustain to determine whether or not there's a dead spot

@@learnmusic488 Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to describe above. Thank you
This bass sounds great, where are they made?
Korea, I think.
What is the cost of these basses?
Around £1500 Sterling.
Sounds like a J bass to me
