Review of the Klos Apollo Bass, a high-end bass guitar with a carbon fiber neck. Carbon fiber necks are becoming increasingly popular in the bass guitar world, as they offer a number of advantages over traditional wooden necks. Composite necked basses from brands, like Modulus, Zon, Status, and even Peavey are heavily sought after.
In this review, I'll take a close look at the Klos Apollo Bass carbon fiber neck and see how it compares to a traditional wooden neck. I'll also talk about the sound and feel of the bass, and whether or not I think it's worth the price.
If you're considering buying a carbon fiber bass guitar, this video is for you!
Here are some of the pros and cons of carbon fiber bass necks:
Pros:
Lightweight and strong
Insensitive to temperature and humidity changes
Resistant to warping and cracking
Can produce a brighter, more articulate sound
Cons:
More expensive than wooden necks
Can be more difficult to find
Some players find the feel of carbon fiber necks to be different from wooden necks
Overall, I think carbon fiber bass necks are a great option for players who are looking for a lightweight, durable, and high-performance bass guitar.
In the video, I also compare the Klos Apollo Bass to a few other popular carbon fiber bass guitars, including the Modulus and the Peavey G bass. I also talk about some of the different brands that make carbon fiber bass guitars.

looking healthy Rodney!
Awesome to see you again. Hope your health issues are improving.
Great to see you back !
I had no idea they were making instruments like that one.
That is crazy but very practical. It sound really good.
Amazing that it breaks down the way it does for traveling.
Glad somebody is thinking outside the box.
This is the motherfucking way !
It is the way for sure!
Glad you are back.
This bass sounds terrific.
So glad to see a vid from you bud.
Man, so glad to see you in a new video!
More to come!
Glad to see ya back! The Klos does sound full and crisp.
You look great! Happy to see you again! Certainly digging this bass🤘🏼
Awesome to see you Rodney!
EDIT (after initial reaction of seeing a new video from you): That was a refreshing bass to see! Too many companies have gotten too big to actually pay attention to small customers (not endorsees). Warwick is definitely one, and my personal experience with them has been sour, as much as I love their early 1990s instruments and still use them. I can definitely relate to the truss rod situation with wood necks - travelling to Norway into the frosty weather has rendered one of my basses unusable on tour, so composites looks like are a definite way to go. More videos like this man, and hope the health holds up!
Awesome to see you looking healthy and back in a new video! Here's to many more! 🤘🤘
It's great to see you again with very interesting gear and strong playing! Greetings from germany!
Glad to see a new video. Hope your feeling well.
Hanging in there! 😉
Glad to see another video from you. Since it's Tuesday, will this become a new series called Hi-Tech Bass Tuesdays?? LOL, take care.
It might!
Good to see you bro. That bass looks beastly.
Great to see you Rod! Missed ya!
5er! 5er! 5er! Sick bass runs, by the way. You never disappoint.
I hear that is in the works😉
Great to see you again, interesting bass!
The Scheter with the Dug Pinnick Tech 21 pedal is about the coolest tone ive heard
Great review! You look great, so good to see you back. 😊
So glad to see you posting content!
Nice to see you back, Rodney. Love the Klos basses.
Straight FIRE bro!!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Thank you lord of the strings!
Very pleased not to see a "Gumby" headstock. Great to see you back Rodney!! Lookn and sounding good bro!!!
I'm glad you're doing videos again man. Looking A LOT better as well. Stay strong!
So good to see you back ❤
You look great Rodney! 🤘🏼🙏
Great to see you making videos again 🤘 great content as always 👍 Greetings and sending good vibes from Slovakia ! 🇸🇰
Hey, thanks!
You know what I hate about this channel? NOTHING! Gotcha! Awesome video man! Definitely need some of that carbon fiber in my life!
Awesome to see you back on the channel!
We were beside the Klos guys in 2020, really high energy dudes. We didn't think they would amount to much. Turns out we were wrong :) Keep it metal buddy! Very happy to see you putting content out to the world again. I'm subscribed! Frick :)
Thanks, kevin!
@@RodneyMcG Ivan and Yan say hello as well! 🤘
Hey there Rodney, always great to see you, and always inspiring to watch you shred it up! Very interesting bass as well. Although I'm generally a metal guy I really like the "jazz bass" sound, it's probably the Geddy Lee in me. I'm already looking forward to your next video, cheers sir.
Hey, thanks!
I like the forward thinking of this design. Awesome to see you and hear your riffs
AWesome to see you buddy! SOunds pretty good would sit well in a mix!
That bass is kickass Rodney and so is your playing!!!
Glad to see your back brother McG!
Good to see you again! 😊
I love that you’re back in the previous video. You mentioned some thing about getting other bassists on the channel I personally would love to see Bryan beller.
Great suggestion!
I’m glad you are back. Your knowledge expression was missed. Whatever our friction was, I do find your musical insights of great value. May we please connect again?
Sure, no good reason to hold bridges over old stuff!
Great review and looks like you haven’t missed a beat with your technique 👍. Love my Spector euro and good call on the neck. Definitely had a different feel.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the good word!
@@RodneyMcG absolutely 💯
Nice bass and great playing brother!! Glad you’re back!!
Looking and sounding well. Good to see you able to ‘work’ at your craft.
Good to see you again!
As you said, this is an interesting innovative and intriguing bass!
Its a little late but welcome back Rodney!
A 7 pound long scale bass! I have one under that but it is headless and nearly bodyless!
Certainly for a traveling musician there are several great features Klos has incorporated into their design. A removable neck is brilliant. Kudos to doing much of the design/ manufacturing is in the US.
Its good to see you are feeling well enough to get out and making vids again. Still praying you may have a complete recovery.
You're looking great and sound like you're back to you! Great bass you got there. Very much digging the versatility the drop-in loaded pickguard will have to offer! Sorry it took a few days to watch this, I've been dealing with a brake nightmare for way too long, then my son got a car that needed attention. Great to see you back at it! I've missed you, man! 😃👍
Thanks, buddy, good to see ya!
Was very impressed with the range on the eq, sounded like a very even sweep on the controls. The swappable controls and travel friendliness are great ideas too!
This is the first review that highlighted the modularity of the electronics and the portability. Very cool features. Not a fan of that headstock though, but I can see why they did it if portability is a concern. I bet this bass is a great slapper with that extended fingerboard portion below the 24th fret. And maybe their replacement necks will be the secret to getting a good B string on a jazz bass due to how stiff the carbon probably is.
Great to see you back! Really enjoy the videos and content. Enjoy the coffee! ❤
Graphite basses are awesome. I love the tone you can get from them. Klos is a great brand. I like their ukulele bass and acoustics they make.
They decibel do cool stuff. I'm excited to see what's coming up
Hey man! You’re looking good! Happy to see you again. It will be cool, for me, to know what do you think about fan fret basses…line the Digwalls…thank you.
I checked out an old clip and can say you’re playing and looking better now. No bull 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Lee! Much appreciated. Hope you're well.
Always enjoy your playing man! Super informative video as always too 🤘
Quick question, Ive got a Cort B5 bass with Bartolini MK1 Soapbar pickups in it and I just cant get the sound I want out of them, they honestly sound terrible to me, even running it through my pedalboard with a Sansamp and Darkglass Alpha Omega in it. Getting stock of any type of pickup brand in my country is a massive issue, so when I replace these MK1's I need to be sure of what I get, question is which soapbars would you recommend? EMG doesnt make direct replacements for the Bartolini MK1, so that unfortunately not an option. Thanks!
I get your problem. I actually rooted a few basses to fit emg because of the shape. If you are going to swap i would look at either Nordstrand big singles, or Aguilar dcb. If you do Aguilar. Use 1meg puts instead of the 500k. It will make them more aggressive.
@@RodneyMcG Thanks for the info! Never even seen 1meg pots, will definitely look into it
Yes 😎🤙🏽💥
I think these are pretty sweet. Don’t like the tiny headstock but that’s probably part of the travel-bass appeal. Kinda sounds at least to me like a 5 string Spector with soapbars but a little less growl.
Agreed...but I think it's better than all the "Gumby" and fairy slipper headstocks we've been seeing for decades now.
Well, it certainly can't submarine 😂
Great review
Damn bro, your body may have suffered but your chops haven't!
That tone OOOMMMGGAAA
I've been a fan of these types of basses since 1995. I was lucky enough to have two Zon's over the years & now a Modulus. One question (since you mentioned EMG) what is your preference? Alnico? The EMG X series? I want new EMG's (for the Modulus Jazz) but they make a lot of variations & unfortunately I don't have the time or $ to buy them, install them, take them out, now buy the other model etc. You're advice on what specific type of EMG's to get for my jazz bass would help me out a great deal, thank you & cheers!
I prefer the X series. Tehre's a bit more detail in them. I get more control over my compressed sound with them as well as it isn't already slammed like the regular series. I can EQ a x series to sound like a non x, but i can't get it the other way around. Good luck on the tone search.
Have you heard the response of Schecter Apocalypse Bass pickups? If so, how would you compare the frequency response to that of a Bartolini MK1-5 like those on Ibanez SR505? This might be a complicated question after all…. (Basically I want the clarity and smoothness of the Barts on my Schecter replacement bass.)
Am I correct in understanding you want the barts put into a apocalypse bass?
@RodneyMcG nope, just will I have to shop at Bart.
Hope you are fellingOK Rodney!
Hanging in there!
Where is the 10 percent off code? I am intrigued...thanks
Ist line of the description
Amazing! What is your favorite classical composer for metal inspiration?
Hmmm, I would go with Holtz, specifically the planets, or Chopin for the paino work and more melancholy melodies.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude. Did they take down the 10% off offer
I don't think so. It may have gotten lost in a site update. Email them and ask about the discount from the video, i'm sure they will take care of it.
я не подписан но иногда вспоминаю про твой канал и захожу глянуть не появилось ли что. рад что появилось.
5 strings on the horizon?
Yep
hey dude it would be sick to see you do a collab with justin horval and talk about metal and the music industry. he''s like this high energy ripped dude that loves death metal and gatekeeps metal from canoes and posers like me that dont belong in it.
I'll check it out
