Hey, guys! Which bass was your favorite for each section?! 1. Ibanez SR675 2. Fender American Elite Jazz Bass 3. Claas Moby Dick 4. Marleaux Consat 5 Custom 5. Wreck W Hope 5 Poplar Tabs are here: www.patreon.com/NathanNavarro
Elver Galarga don’t like the harshness of the drive on it and the low end sounds disconnected from the top end to me. Some EQ would probably solve it easy but...
Its great that you used the same basslines as the previous one! I would listen to the previous one once in a while, just cause the basslines were so fukin lit!!
The Ibanez was perfect for distorted rock stuff. Marleaux was overall best balanced. Fender was solid. Wreck was beefy and unique. My favorite were Wreck and Marleaux. 👍 nice vid!
I'm supposed to like that Marleaux and that Fender but I really love that Ibanez. The other basses sound okay but that Ibanez just has a bit more beef to it
My main bass right now is an SR655 and it shreds basically any other bass I've played. My only gripe is that I haven't quite figured out how to get it to fill the musicman niche, but I'm not sure if that's me or the bass lol. The slim neck profile is addictive as well, I can't really stand the chunkier necks of P basses and the like anymore.
I really like the fact you used the same songs to demonstrate these as in the first they really display a full range of aspects in performance Excellent job Nathan
After years of owning and studying music, Im sorry but the Fender Jazz is a beautiful yet situational bass. That Wreck and even the Ibanez were the best sounding all around in my opinion.
@@mykemech i would rather say that, it fira everything but metal, its ratherly athe other way around. All the big rockstars however or all the big any genre bassist have always played on a fender, sounding Great. So i dont really see where this is coming from.
Linus Larsson ho i know it’s about people bitching on fender here and there but the thing is that fender is the main reason why we all play bass and not upright bass !
Agreed, even though it sounds bad compared to the other basses. And that's weird for me actually because headless basses usually they tend to sound punchier
@@steffomca762 well sometimes I get notifications, sometimes I don`t. Yes, Umansky and Spector 3 are awesome as well. PS 4 years, oh my! Felt like 1 haha
This slap theme is amazing. I have even learnt it to play by myself. Enjoyed listening it again in this video. What about basses, my favorite is still Warwick. )))
I used to own one of those Marleaux Consat Customs. Had the finest low B I've ever heard in 35 years of playing, and it's still a 34 scale bass. Way better than any 35/36/37 scale bass I've played or heard. Gerald Marleaux builds very special instruments.
Never heard of Wreck basses, but that bass sounds lovely. Full and clear, maybe a little subdued in comparison to some of the others, but it was fitting and sounded great. Lovin these comparison vids, btw - You do them the way I like to hear them done. And thank you for including all kinds of playing styles, not just fingers and slap.
I have an Ibanez SR755 (when it had the soapbars) and I dropped a Bart NTMB and CBC pups in it and it is - to this day - my favorite rock/metal bass tone. It sits beamed to hell, pickups held in with mismatched wood screws, missing knobs, electrical tape covering the remnants of a battery compartment in its rightful place of honor next to my Modulus. Not kidding. It’s that good and I trust that neck with my freakin’ life. It is rock-solid stable with a super low action and has been that way for years.
You should be doing this very exact thing w/ 4 strings and 6 strings w/ their signature riffs for each series Idk i think that would be a very cool idea, visiting different shops and different basses :))
I always like the sound of the fender. Guitar & bass. But I always like the look of the Ibanez. What should I do? For guitar, I sold my fender American strat for an Ibanez AZ. Looking for a bass now.
Excellent work but when testing 5 strings I would have liked to hear their B strings used / compared more and also played further up the neck. I find many 5s suffer from a warbling / overtone when notes on the B string are played above the 7th fret...
Best overall I'd have to say the marleaux because it retained its clarity. 2nd class, 3rd ibanez, 4th fender & 5th wreck. I would say although the wreck sounded pretty muted throughout when the overdrive kicked in it was the best. The class had a punchy tone to it throughout. The ibanez was very consistent in all areas but just lacked a bit of something. The fender jazz had nice clarity especially for slap but lacked bottom and sounded a bit thin especially when the overdrive was used.
I find the most interesting/definitively boutique instruments often have such a characteristically unique low end The Claas/Marleaux on this video and the Wood Guerrilla in the previous one demonstrate that quality so well, but I don't know how to explain it with words Woody maybe? If I was to pick any of these for my own use I'd probably opt for the Ibanez/Marleaux, or from the previous video the Wood Guerrilla/Peavey/Dingwall
Cool demo and comparison. \m/ I personally liked the Ibanez sr675, the fender american elite jazz bass, and the marleaux consat 5 custom the most. it even sounds killer with distortion.

Nathan Navarro i go for ibanez and my sponsor are ibanez :)
Ibanez and wreck mostly
I hate the fender sound
i have btb1905 premium with aguliar pickups best of basses
My favorite looking is the Fender, Favorite sound is the Marleaux, But, My favorite overall between this video and the last is the Peavy Cirrus
Ibanez for sure.
Best bang for buck: Ibanez
Best sound: Marleaux
Every time you played the Marleaux, I'd catch myself thinking "Oooo that one's my favorite!"
I was going like that until the drive hit...
Same here!
@@CarlosKTCosta What?? That sounds so heavy and great
Elver Galarga don’t like the harshness of the drive on it and the low end sounds disconnected from the top end to me. Some EQ would probably solve it easy but...
@@CarlosKTCosta Same here, but I assume that means the Marleaux will give you more dynamic range when choosing tone.
Ibanez sounded good. Especially going up against instruments worth 5-6 times more.
..costing...idk if they really worth..of course I'm not on Ibanez's d*co none either..
A mexico fender would do just as well js
Ibanez. In my opinion was the best.
I actually own this exact Ibanez, extremely bang for your buck bass and honestly his tone in this video does NOT do it justice
I own an Ibanez SR2605 and prefer it over anything here.
The Ibanez was right up there with basses that cost 3 times the amount. I'm impressed!

Yep. The drive bassline I keep coming back to, mainly the Marleux, Wreck, Dingwall and Stingray.
That Marleaux’s something else, man!
The Ibanez was perfect for distorted rock stuff. Marleaux was overall best balanced. Fender was solid. Wreck was beefy and unique. My favorite were Wreck and Marleaux. 👍 nice vid!
Love the comparison, Wow that Marleaux sounds Amazing!
I'm supposed to like that Marleaux and that Fender but I really love that Ibanez. The other basses sound okay but that Ibanez just has a bit more beef to it
Dude, its the cheapest of them all as well!!

Get an ibanez with nordstarnd big singles. My sr2605 is my favorite bass I have ever played.
Ibanez + Marleux. Now I wanna see a Warwick vs Spector Euro 5
Júlio Salotti yes that would be so good
Looks like you got your wish!
I really like the fact you used the same songs to demonstrate these as in the first they really display a full range of aspects in performance
Excellent job Nathan
That Ibanez sounds fantastic! Full flavor and a killer B-string. Excellent playing!
That Fender is typically what I hear in my head when I think about bass. Amazing sounding instrument.
The best of the bunch literally varied from one category to the next
The Ibanez SR675 and the Fender Jazz Bass are my two favorite in this grouping.
Ibanez all the way. And, for being probably the least expensive bass in the shootout, it's truly impressive!
After years of owning and studying music, Im sorry but the Fender Jazz is a beautiful yet situational bass. That Wreck and even the Ibanez were the best sounding all around in my opinion.
Situational? Wha?
@@mykemech i would rather say that, it fira everything but metal, its ratherly athe other way around. All the big rockstars however or all the big any genre bassist have always played on a fender, sounding Great. So i dont really see where this is coming from.
Linus Larsson ho i know it’s about people bitching on fender here and there but the thing is that fender is the main reason why we all play bass and not upright bass !
people are talking about the specific model in the video, not the quality or validity of fender as a whole
You say that as someone who has a lot of experience... I hope 1999 is not the year you were born in
this time I`m not sure which one I like more but Claas has a sick design!
Agreed, even though it sounds bad compared to the other basses. And that's weird for me actually because headless basses usually they tend to sound punchier
@@steffomca762 yes, Submission Audio did a great job capturing Lefay HERR SCHWARZ Headless
@@descendinguniversedidn't expected to get an answer under a 4yr old comment, thanks!
@@descendinguniversebtw we could tell the same about Umansky's bass with his Dingwall Z3
@@steffomca762 well sometimes I get notifications, sometimes I don`t.
Yes, Umansky and Spector 3 are awesome as well.
PS 4 years, oh my! Felt like 1 haha
That headless sounds amazing
Loved the clean tone of Claas but marleaux with drive blew me away!
That Claas has some balls to its sound. Nice demo! But damn, the Marleaux takes the cake for its clarity.
Yaaaaasssss! I’ve been waiting for another video!🙌🏾😭
Thanks, levi!
I was surprised at how versatile the jazz bass was, but to be honest the wreck left a lot to be desired in definition and clarity
not to mention bottom end. the Wreck was a total wreck lol
To me the jazz bass sounded like he lacked midrange
This slap theme is amazing. I have even learnt it to play by myself. Enjoyed listening it again in this video. What about basses, my favorite is still Warwick. )))
YYEEEEESSSS the first one was my favorite bass demo on youtube!

The Marleaux's slap sound ❤
The claas is so unique and truly sounds like a paino
Big props for using the same licks, and I assume setting of the other comparison video!
Wow! I’ve never heard of Claas, but that bass is both a good looker, but also had a killer tone! Oh my gosh that drive was so good
Best moments (in my opinion)
Slap: 0:34
Bridge Pickup: 1:17
Neck Pickup: 1:25
Drive: 3:00
Drive & Pick: 3:23
2:29 What song is this from? It really hits hard
The Marleaux Consat to my liking sounds good in the slap. regards
1. Marleux
2. Ibanez
3. Fender
4. Claas
5. Wreck
yup and for the money the ibanez was best bang for you buck
The fact that the sub 1k Ibanez is up there with these boutique instruments at all is wild. Shows how much you can get for your money nowadays.
I really love how all the basses sound, and the groove you put into it🔥
Hi Nathan, i like your choice of riffs for each section! Very unusual and awesome music! Drums are cool too! Thanks for the video!
I have an Ibanez SR755 (when it had the soapbars) and I dropped a Bart NTMB and CBC pups in it and it is - to this day - my favorite rock/metal bass tone.

Not kidding. It’s that good and I trust that neck with my freakin’ life. It is rock-solid stable with a super low action and has been that way for years.
I loved the Marleaux with the drive especially. I think that and the Claas have to be my favorites.
The Ibanez, Fender and Marleaux had a great tone
The Fender American Elite Jazz Bass was my first choice for
That jazz is a beast!!!!!
pls i need the name of the first song he played
You should be doing this very exact thing w/ 4 strings and 6 strings w/ their signature riffs for each series
Idk i think that would be a very cool idea, visiting different shops and different basses :))
Finally ur back with awesome video
I thought the fender could handle the low B a little better.
Love this series!
All of these are amazing and that slap lick was amazing
Omg, I play bass and your my inspiration. You are awesome!,
I own the 4 string version of that ibanez. Top quality instrument
Ibby's never dissappoint.
I love the slap riff😍
That Marleaux sounds Huge!
I love them all. All different, all awesome.
2:47 justo listen yo that Low B string that the Claas Sounds omg
Infinite money: Marleaux
No money, but I still have to buy one: Ibanez
2:15 when you're wearing headphones and that thing's low B hits you like a frickin truck
you should do an entire track of the bridge pickup with the wreck, marlauex, or ibanez.
Marleaux sounds awesome!! Fantastic bass!!
Marleaux for clean slap, the Fender for everything else. Tie between the Fender neck pickup and the Marleaux.
The Claas has a Spector/Rickenbacker vibe to the tone that I like.
great video bro, I love it :)
did they all have the same strings? If not then they would sound super different from the get go.
Marleaux- the most amazing sound here! then Fender
IT would be intersting if you compare that fender elite against a sire v7
I'll take that Fender period!! not only did it have nice high end,but mainly that growly low end punch!!
Ibanez really good even fast note are clear.. thank you for this video I want Ibanez comparison.
Ibanez and Fender sounded great to my ears. Marleaux sounded kinda empty clean cause it had no mids but it sounded the best with distortion.
Marleaux and Ibanez!!
Super SICK with it!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fender clean and Wreck distorted✌️
the wreck and marleux were awesome
Marleaux basses vs mayones basses? which one is The best?
Great grooves!
A perfect 5 strings bass review👍 It really helped!
Please make a review with a K5 from Ibanez
Surprised how well the Ibanez stood up against all the others, the Wreck was the best tho
I always like the sound of the fender. Guitar & bass.
But I always like the look of the Ibanez.
What should I do?
For guitar, I sold my fender American strat for an Ibanez AZ. Looking for a bass now.
The Ibanez was by far the best(not only that,but I'm kinda partial because I'm an Ibanez player)
But i must say,the class sounded pretty good to.
The cheapest is the best for my ears : Ibanez SR675. ;)
I love the sound of the Ibanez
Excellent work but when testing 5 strings I would have liked to hear their B strings used / compared more and also played further up the neck. I find many 5s suffer from a warbling / overtone when notes on the B string are played above the 7th fret...
I’d have to say the wreck is my favorite due to its powerful sound.
Wreck w hope was my favourite was just a heavy low end bass sound instead of clanking.
Ibanez and Marleax are top 2 up my ally sounds. The fender sounded the best with a pick
Best overall I'd have to say the marleaux because it retained its clarity.
2nd class, 3rd ibanez, 4th fender & 5th wreck. I would say although the wreck sounded pretty muted throughout when the overdrive kicked in it was the best. The class had a punchy tone to it throughout. The ibanez was very consistent in all areas but just lacked a bit of something. The fender jazz had nice clarity especially for slap but lacked bottom and sounded a bit thin especially when the overdrive was used.
Fender American jazz bass!!!!
Awesome 5 bass comparison, thanks for sharing
i have a multiscale ibanez that I love, but damn that marleaux sounds gnarly
I find the most interesting/definitively boutique instruments often have such a characteristically unique low end
The Claas/Marleaux on this video and the Wood Guerrilla in the previous one demonstrate that quality so well, but I don't know how to explain it with words
Woody maybe?
If I was to pick any of these for my own use I'd probably opt for the Ibanez/Marleaux, or from the previous video the Wood Guerrilla/Peavey/Dingwall
What music he plays on first minute?
Oh that marleaux sounds unreal. Great playing.
Cool demo and comparison. \m/ I personally liked the Ibanez sr675, the fender american elite jazz bass, and the marleaux consat 5 custom the most. it even sounds killer with distortion.
support from Indonesia for you 👍👍👍
Greetings from Boston, Tantan. :)
The Marleaux it's like the Ibanez from Sam Rivers (LimpBizkit) in 1999
Marleaux is my fav because of the low action
I fell in love with marleaux 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
2:06 that's a bell! LOL
Is it just me or is the E string on the Claas muted in some way? It sounds incredibly muffled compared to the other strings
