hiryu. Still, if it has high enough quality justifying its price, it doesnt suck, even if you dont dont like the look. Btw i think Every bass fodera makes is magnificent.
I remember when I started playing bass. Sharp frets, rusting screws on the bridge, no tuning stability. It's great to see companies stepping up their affordable ranges. Nice video!
It's good to hear someone demo a bass with a clean sound and not distorted like most others do. Also we can actually hear what the bass sounds like with the way you play it. Not everyone wants a million notes a second! Love your videos. Very informative and entertaining.
I know this is a fairly old video, but I would like to say something... ATTENTION BASS PLAYERS! Just because he is playing with a pick amd doesn't play it the way you play it, DOESN'T MATTER! What matters is how it sounds! And to be fair, his playing sounds pretty damn good to me 👍
@@joshuavanscoyk9404 You will not regret spending around 10,000 dollars. It is far less. Just do it, what have you got to lose? Yeah, that other cheap bass is cool, too. And a second hand one could be better value for the same money. But maybe it just isn't. Whatever you do, it's okay. Buy it, play it, see if it works for you. If not, you can say, you have learned something, sell it and really, how much money would that set you back? Not that much, you will not lose all your money, will you? Four or five string, that's a different problem. The simplest way to describe it, are the words love, cheating and divorce.
Where does Van Scoyk come from? In my country half of us is a Van Raalte, Van Leiden, or some other town. But Van Scoyk I need to Google. Belgium family, perhaps? Aha, Dutch, Van Schaik is another way to write it down. If it ain't Dutch, it aint mutch. Watt?
A few days ago I went out and bought a Ibanez bass, the exact one in the video along with a Fender rumble 25 amp and am in love with this combination. I would definitely recommend both of them as a beginner bass player.
Jack Bruce of Cream played an EB-0 bass. He had two or three different models of Gibson EB basses that played: including, one with a “violin” body. Later in his career, Warwick made a fretless EB-0 type bass for him.
No one was more surprised than me when I went out one afternoon to maybe buy a new bass and I came home with the EB-0. I had always discounted it as being a pretty ugly beast but once I had a quick demo I was hooked and didn't even bother trialling the other guitar I had my eye on. It's comfortable, well balanced, and the SS neck is ideal for me as I have arthritis. The only downside is the glossy neck which I would much prefer as a satin finish (like the fantastic Squier Jaguar bass the Missus bought me for Xmas). The quality of entry-level guitars these days amazes me...I bought my first, a Squier Strat in 1989, and it was terrible! The body actually is made of plywood...I still have it in a cupboard, rusting away to nothingness like the Titanic. Bloody kids of today don't know they're born!!!
Paul Mabley I fucking hated mine the bridge would always fall out when changing strings and the posts that set the action would always move out of whack. And the electronics were fucky. It's good you found a nice one though. I loved the sound of it when it worked though.
They weren't cheap either. I paid £189 for the Strat which is [quick Google] about £325 in todays coins. I paid £179 a few months ago to buy a Squier Jaguar bass which is gorgeous.
I've got the GSR200 (last one) It's absolutely the best under 500$ bass I've ever owned. Setup out of the box was perfect and the everything was and is fantastic. Out of all these I recommend the gio!
The title is correct-None of these basses suck. But each has issues. 1) EastCoast-you hit the nail on the head-if you CAN afford a Fender jazz, why buy a copy, even if doesn't suck? 2) Ibanez-I detest a bit too much fret buzz. 3) Music Man-See 1). However I can more easily justify this one, as it is still a Music Man Stingray, just a downscale. I would equate to a Fender Squire.Whatever, I've never been a Music man fan. 4) Epiphone-There's something about the mid range I don't like in this one. 5) East Coast-nice. This would be my favorite for metal. Although, the difference between the neck and bridge pickups is small. I bet you have to roll the tone all the way down to get a significant difference between the neck and bridge pickups 6) Ibanez SR -considering everything, this is my favorite. nice look. versatile. great boost. reasonable price.
Just got that Stingray (they don't call it the Sub anymore apparently) in that finish with Rosewood neck and 5 strings. The quality of the thing is really outstanding and it sounds great. If I were a pro I would not be at all embarrassed to gig with it. An incredible bargain.
I bought all 3 of my bass guitars for $40 because he was tired of them gathering dust, they are Fender Squire P-bass(the only one in rough condition), Ibanez SDGR, and a Kona KEJBN I also later bought a Epiphone Les Paul for $100 from the same guy
Being a bass player/singer, I have grown very fond of short scale basses. I would love to get my hands on one of the Ibanez Talman short scales. I have a long scale Talman, and I love it!
This video and the one preceding it are exactly what I needed. I've been thinking about getting a bass and learning to play for a while, and I had no idea where to start as far as buying a bass. This has a about all the information I want to start my search. The basic configurations and what they sound like, all in one place. You're the man.
I've watch you many times cool show, learn a lot. But I was wondering if you could play with your fingers instead of always playing with a pick. To demonstrate the tones while using your fingers for those of us who play primarily with our fingers and not a pick? Thank you
The Tobias Toby is a very nice and cheap bass. I live these cheap bass videos. I have toured with major recording artists, both in the United States and internationally, and have never used a bass that was over 500 USD.
I've owned my ibanez gsr200b since around 2017. I also gig with it too and its a fantastic bass. Mines in a brown colour. It sounds absolutely fantastic. Even through my 100 watt stagg bass amp which costed around £40 which is quite a bargain 👍🏻
I would love to see you review the Hofner HCT-185. I’ve been looking at them lately. And they kind of fit in with price range and the theme of these videos... in case there’s another episode of these ;)
i have the tmb-100 i looked into the arcives and my bass was in the last batch with rosewood fret boards. also i live in new zealand so i have great pride knowing that new zealand pine is being used for fret boards
I have a Jackson JS2 JS that did not run me too much. It’s my first bass guitar and I do like it a lot. I understand if people don’t but for a first bass it’s working pretty good. I’ve gone to stores and tried some of the basses from the videos. The Ibanez sr300 is great for me. I prefer the sr500 mainly due to the feel. However these videos have been a great help to me finding new basses to try.
Dude that EB-0 sounds KILLER!!!!! I am a Rickenbacker guy and have a few 4001's and 4003's and also a couple Fender p basses, I've always kinda wanted a Gibson EB-1 but didn't want to spend mucho bucks just to find out I didn't like it but after hearing the epy I think I might pick one up!! thanx for the review brother!
19:25 that looks like jatoba. They come with both options, but I think that one is jatoba. I have a treated NZ pine on my Ibanez mikro, and its much darker, less porous. mikro also came with the jatoba option for most volors, and at the beginning also rosewood
I started out with an eb copy by a company called "Life". Got rid of it within a year, it just didn't have any attitude at all. Getting a used fender jazz fixed that problem real good...lol
I owned a Peavey Millennium BXP 5 String which sounded insane! I feel that was the best sounding cheap 5 String I had heard, it was a workhorse! Looked amazing in blue flame quilt top.
I have the Thunderbird myself....solid piece for $400 and looks great next to my SG.. I love my Gibson but for a bass for fun I thought Epiphone was the way to go....
I own an Epiphone EB-0 Bass that I picked up from a pawn shop for $18. Not sure why the price was so low (aside from them not having any buyers.) this thing is amazing when paired with a TC Electronic Cinders OD pedal.
The ibanez is easily the best one. For a little more you can get the entry level Yamaha that wasnt shown but is even better but for the price, nothing beats that ibanez.
That Ibanez TMB30-IV Tasman is nifty. I wouldn’t make it my main bass, but having a compact bass with a decent sound can be useful. I also think it looks kinda cool. I might replace the pickups on it, though. But it doesn’t sound bad.
These videos are so good. I've sifted through so many terrible videos with shit quality and annoying people. This guy is actually a good presenter, plays bass just fine and knows what he's on about, without being annoying in the slightest. I Need More!
I like to play bass and guitar without a pick because it's what comes naturally to me having big strong hands with hard skin from mechanical work I do. I could use a pick but not as fluently so I don't. Despite that I do like the sound of a pick esp. for a distorted bass and love Mark Knoflers technique where he combines the pick and finger picking but it's not for everyone!
Dagan Rocks whatever he plays he has great spirit that comes through, even the greats like Angus, Slash have sloppy moments and mistakes, I have seen them, still wouldn't change a thing because they have the true rock and roll spirit. If they want to pick up a bass and play a few times the Guitar World won't stop turning!
The Talman 101 series is a pretty nice bass. It's the full scale version of the 30 with active pickups. I bought one for $179. I play it more than my $600 Schecter.
Schecter makes some fantastic basses for affordable prices. They look cool as hell with the flame or quilted tops, sound awesome, and play well. My only niggle is that the battery for the active pre-amp (when so equipped) is behind the metal plate covering the electronics- so you have to deal with all those tiny freaking screws... Ibanez does that better with a separate cavity and a clip on cover.
EZ James not entirely sure I hold my bass relatively low because it's just really comfortable that way so maybe it's just comfortable for them with the longer necks? However they have no access to the higher frets so maybe they're just knobs that want to look Cool?? 😂
I love that stingray sound and music man stingray look but hate HATE the bass humbucker and would personally go for everything that stingray had but make it a pj bass and have the j pickup where the bottom half of the humbucker would be and that would look good to me
Well done on showing the basses and not showing off your slapping nor twiddling about on the top strings. Keeping your slip of the tongue and other mistakes made it fun.
The EB-O sounds even better with nylon tape strings==I had no longer available Guild tape wound strings on my long gone Gibson EB--O Jack Bruce played an EB-3 for all of his Cream albums
Loving the West coast sounds, that music Man too. Would like to hear them all through a cheap amp like the 10 watt Marshall behind you, as that is what most of us will be using at home!
Hey PMT! What bass guitars you'd recommend for someone with short fingers and/or a beginner? I've been highly interested in trying to play a bass guitar and am thinking of getting one (Sadly I can't from your store as you're on the other side of the world from me), but I have pretty short fingers that I worry will make it difficult.
I've been playing drums for 15 years, and I want to pick up the bass now, i want to get into jazz both in drums and learn with bass as well. So do I just choose any one of these and go or what? The sub man got my attention. Help!!
Do a video on 7 expensive basses that suck
samuel morley
well there's that $11,000 Fodera bass that's the ugliest one I've ever seen
hiryu. U know looks are highly subjektive?
niklas pfafenrot yeah it's just that i don't think i know a single person that likes the look of said bass
hiryu. Still, if it has high enough quality justifying its price, it doesnt suck, even if you dont dont like the look.
Btw i think Every bass fodera makes is magnificent.
That would actually be cool !
I remember when I started playing bass. Sharp frets, rusting screws on the bridge, no tuning stability. It's great to see companies stepping up their affordable ranges. Nice video!
i know its amazing how good they are now
Damn that intro tricked me I though it is another one bites the dust but it ain't
emir kahraman YES.. it pissed me offffff
Pissed you off?

What matters is how it sounds!
And to be fair, his playing sounds pretty damn good to me 👍
We agree!
Yes
But can he slap
@@LillyTheCatGirl *slapp
If he played bass, it would help. Those were guitar licks on a bass, with a pick. Let bassists review basses.
I actually own an Ibanez GSR200B and I love it. Very good bass guitar
Mentally Guitarded do you still feel the same about it? I’m on the fence about it

no fr it’s like a paradox movie
This guy is awesome! Born entertainer. Cools basses
About Van Life cool*
Yeah, not too many people would have the balls to play a bastardized version of Dani California with a pick and then put it on the internet.
Yes nobody freezes basses like this guy

i have terrible GAS for an EB-0, they sound perfect for reggae and would complement my SG's.
I have had one scince I was 8 and I love it
This guy knows how to cover all the bases
Yikes
I've got the GSR200 (last one)
It's absolutely the best under 500$ bass I've ever owned.
Setup out of the box was perfect and the everything was and is fantastic.
Out of all these I recommend the gio!
I just recently got into guitar and often look toward you for ideas on the next instrument.
Do you still talk to Katy Perry?
Jimbo R 69th like
@GASHISH not really
I get that reference
LOL
This comment wins. -Lee
Glad to see Marcus from Babylon 5 is doing well
Another nice cheap Bass is the Epiphone Tobias iv-standard, plays really nicely and is a beautiful shape
Elliot Rook what's the price on it
Squire jazz bass is probably the best for something that’s not too expensive and is closest to the real thing

Tip for J-Bass owners, getting the series/parallel push/pull pot mod can tame that hiss...
You forgot the TBX Yamaha Bass. $225.00 I love mine
I started out with an eb copy by a company called "Life". Got rid of it within a year, it just didn't have any attitude at all. Getting a used fender jazz fixed that problem real good...lol
i own 2 epi basses , the viola (awesome bottom end ) and the eb-o . fine basses unfortunately epi don't make lefties...had to have them both modified.
I owned a Peavey Millennium BXP 5 String which sounded insane! I feel that was the best sounding cheap 5 String I had heard, it was a workhorse! Looked amazing in blue flame quilt top.
Also, next vid. Epiphone Thunderbird and Sire Marcus Miller V7 and P7.
TheElephant ah the good ol thunderbird
I have the Thunderbird myself....solid piece for $400 and looks great next to my SG.. I love my Gibson but for a bass for fun I thought Epiphone was the way to go....
I owned a Squire Jazz and now I own an Ibanez GSR .... Ibanez all day. The Music Man Sub Ray really peaks my interest
Thank you for killing the gain on this one. Thank you so much. I think I might actually check out that 5 string
I own an Epiphone EB-0 Bass that I picked up from a pawn shop for $18. Not sure why the price was so low (aside from them not having any buyers.) this thing is amazing when paired with a TC Electronic Cinders OD pedal.
Jack Bruce played an SG bass
I believe that was an EB 3.
EB3
My girly hands MUCH prefer short scale basses! Only buy SS. Would love a SS basses that don’t suck video!
The ibanez is easily the best one. For a little more you can get the entry level Yamaha that wasnt shown but is even better but for the price, nothing beats that ibanez.

I’m a big dude is it ok if I play at short scale bass? They look amazing! I like the way they look like an electric guitar
There's no reason why you can't. If its comfortable, go for it!
Lol if you like it, go for it. The bass guitar is for you to play. Play and have fun.
I like the Eastcoast BC300. I'm tempted to grab it. Looks badass.
Not sure if it counts but Cliff Burton (of Metallica fame) used an EB pickup in the neck of his ricknbacker.
Jack Bruce from cream played an EB3
These videos are so good. I've sifted through so many terrible videos with shit quality and annoying people. This guy is actually a good presenter, plays bass just fine and knows what he's on about, without being annoying in the slightest. I Need More!
He dosent play "fine".. he just barely gets by . and he should finger play some too instead of just pic playing to let us hear the finger tone ..
I think he's PLENTY annoying.
That last Ibanez is a Beast!! JazzBass Pickups paired with Ps, and the P neck, plus the all that PHATTT. Thinging of getting one. Ill let you know!
I like to play bass and guitar without a pick because it's what comes naturally to me having big strong hands with hard skin from mechanical work I do.
I could use a pick but not as fluently so I don't.
Despite that I do like the sound of a pick esp. for a distorted bass and love Mark Knoflers technique where he combines the pick and finger picking but it's not for everyone!
Dagan Rocks whatever he plays he has great spirit that comes through, even the greats like Angus, Slash have sloppy moments and mistakes, I have seen them, still wouldn't change a thing because they have the true rock and roll spirit.
If they want to pick up a bass and play a few times the Guitar World won't stop turning!
Considering I'm searching for a decent, yet cheap, bass this video si a godsend.
The Talman 101 series is a pretty nice bass. It's the full scale version of the 30 with active pickups. I bought one for $179. I play it more than my $600 Schecter.
That little short scale Ibanez Talman is a gas to play. A great neck with a lot of different tones. I think it's the best of the 6 basses shown.
Your videos are useful and very entertaining - keep it up!
It's really useful for us lefties if you mention whether a LH option is available. Cheers
Schecter makes some fantastic basses for affordable prices. They look cool as hell with the flame or quilted tops, sound awesome, and play well. My only niggle is that the battery for the active pre-amp (when so equipped) is behind the metal plate covering the electronics- so you have to deal with all those tiny freaking screws... Ibanez does that better with a separate cavity and a clip on cover.
Why do some guys sling their bass guitars down to their balls?
EZ James not entirely sure I hold my bass relatively low because it's just really comfortable that way so maybe it's just comfortable for them with the longer necks? However they have no access to the higher frets so maybe they're just knobs that want to look Cool?? 😂
James Robinson Church of Misery. That’s why, nerds. Hahaha
It's worked for Peter Hook.
same reason some of them need to use a pick to play bass. Guitarists, sheesh!
To hide their *rock solid balls*
Wow! It feels like I'm watching Get Him to the Greek while guitar shopping!
You missed Cort action PJ
Will be grabbing the Gio Bass by Ib for Christmas! Rock on brother.
Jack Bruce sometimes played an EB-O bass
jack Bruce played an eb 3 that's basically close enough.
I love that stingray sound and music man stingray look but hate HATE the bass humbucker and would personally go for everything that stingray had but make it a pj bass and have the j pickup where the bottom half of the humbucker would be and that would look good to me
I bloody love short scale because my left wrist has weakened tendons and as a result i have a less mobile freting hand.
I picked my own bass up from a PMT, very good.
Still fucking love my Epiphone Thunderbird IV from Birmingham
Dang, that 5 string has some serious snarl...I like it
Well done on showing the basses and not showing off your slapping nor twiddling about on the top strings. Keeping your slip of the tongue and other mistakes made it fun.
Great video! Thanks for the reviews, now I have to make a choice.
I love that sg, but only after sanding that neck
Jack Bruce the bass player in "Cream" also played a Gibson EBO SG Bass...
EB3 I think
The EB-O sounds even better with nylon tape strings==I had no longer available Guild tape wound strings on my long gone Gibson EB--O Jack Bruce played an EB-3 for all of his Cream albums
Do more of these kinds of videos
The CORT action 4 PJ OPW it's a good bass as well
Loving the West coast sounds, that music Man too. Would like to hear them all through a cheap amp like the 10 watt Marshall behind you, as that is what most of us will be using at home!
Hey PMT! What bass guitars you'd recommend for someone with short fingers and/or a beginner? I've been highly interested in trying to play a bass guitar and am thinking of getting one (Sadly I can't from your store as you're on the other side of the world from me), but I have pretty short fingers that I worry will make it difficult.
Just go to a music store and try out different basses. I'm sure you'll find one that suits you.
Yay they listened 😊
Imagine still being anti-pick in 2019
Davie504 left the chat
The elitism is ridiculous. The amount of very famous songs that used a bass with pick playing in the studio is unreal
Didn’t Macca use a pick?
Grayson Gabriel
Yup
I would love to hear someone bash Carol Kaye for using a pick! She laid down some of the most iconic bass riffs using a pick!!!!
I’m British and I still love your accent
Wait where are you even from?
Ahhh Newcastle that makes sense
Actually, the fretboard on the Gio is jatoba, an entirely different species than NZ pine. Jatoba is a hardwood; NZ is a softwood.
You sir inspire me.
I've been playing drums for 15 years, and I want to pick up the bass now, i want to get into jazz both in drums and learn with bass as well. So do I just choose any one of these and go or what? The sub man got my attention. Help!!
Dude the Eb-0 is amazing get it if ur a beginner
My favorite is the epiphone eb-0 Sg bass
Andy Fraser of Free was a big time EBO player... Thinkk of the bridge in Alright now.
I would love this same video with and actually bass player, some slap bass examples and finger too.
12:45 I bought a real one from a pawnshop in Toronto in 1973...Great, if you really like the sound of mud. That Epi sounds a lot better, actually.
I'm disappointed that you didn't mention Jack Bruce on the EB part
Chic opening riff! Good Times to listen to.
Did Andy Fraser of Free play an EB-0, or was it an EB-3?
Gonna be adding that SG to my collection. Always wanted an SG guitar, but with learning BASS I want this instead.
