Does the instrument itself actually output MIDI or does it just output polyphonically to a box that then converts to MIDI? If the latter then we might be hearing the real instrument.
I kind of think it's cool, but the $8750 price tag [cough cough!] is hard to get past. I can buy a lot of bass gear for that much money including a car to haul it in. Plus... I'd love to hear how it sounds being played with other musicians instead of somebody going through their catalog of licks. How does this bass compare and compete with drums, guitars, keys, etc. for sonic territory in the mix? I can't really hear much from this recording and all the demos I've seen and heard, so far, have all been recorded on smart phones. So it's hard to tell what you're getting for $8750. I hope this makes sense.
What you're getting for$8750 is screwed... It sounds awful. I don't understand how these companies operate. They have a product that produces music, but yet they allow something like this to be put out there???
"I can buy a lot of bass gear for that much money including a car to haul it in". Lord, that's hilarious and true. Cool concept, but I can't do an ax that's half my take-home.
Tonewood be damned, I’m in love with the 5 string model, saving up for one. Edit: seeing the price scared the hell out of me, but I still feel determined to get one
Amazing! About 20 years ago I spoke with Gittler himself asking him about building a bass guitar. He refused telling me - "Leave it, a bass is a different animal." Imwonder what he would have said now...
Well, actually titanium vibrates way better then wood (natural polymer). Polymers are known for their good dampening abilities, while resonance travels better in metals.
@@brentbreault7606because it's what you think a violin sounds like. A metal violin is likely louder but depending on the way one could be made, the actual acoustic sound of it could be unpleasant if certain frequencies that our ears don't like are more resonant. The guys argument was that the metal bass would vibrate more, which it likely does. More vibration doesn't mean it will sound better because of that.
Mark Squier Nanner Hammock wtf guys , i just think that black version will be more heavy and metal... what is wrong with you... And no this is not white , this is SILVER , SO...
It has the same system as any other headless bass/guitar like Steinberger/Strandberg... Most headless basses and guitars use double ball strings, one attached to the neck and the other on the tuners, they were very popular in the 80s but now they have resurfaced. You tune it on the back of the bass/guitar, some people say it tunes very accurately and doesn't detune...
Seems like the most remarkable, "revolutionary" thing about it is what it looks like. It's still a bass and still plays & sounds like one. Other than that it's no better, or even different, than any other bass guitar of any make, model or price. Just its looks. Unusual-looking isn't worth several grand when you have to work for it.
I'm still trying to figure out how $20 worth of tubing and two hours with a tig welder adds up to a $9,000 instrument. I guarantee there's a jig that holds everything in exactly the right spot for perfect, repeatable assembly. One guy could probably crank out twenty of these in a day without breaking a sweat. Frankly, even $900 seems excessive for what you get.
You have to account for the overhead and risk of running a company knowing that bob gomez is potentially gonna be your only customer for multiple months after you launch a model
@@Danman350 That's their problem, it doesn't make the product worth more money. They failed to do market research to determine if they could launch a model profitably. That would be like me opening a restaurant and charging $50 for a burger to make up for the risk of having no customers for a few months. That isn't how it works.
Look I haven't been to the website but I can almost guarantee that that's not true. What benefit does a guitar company selling $8,000 guitars have giving you a virus. And that's completely ignoring the fact that phones really can't get viruses. Malware and adware maybe but you have to install those yourself.
Comment section: *hears instrument over RUclips via shitty phone mic* Also comment section: That tone is ass what the fuck sounds like shit dude can't even play bass I played better bass with my pinky toe and nose holy shit fuck this I need to assert my dominance because if I leave and don't comment my playing ability will leave quicker than my loved ones did.
Sounds like someone decided that resonance was far too musical and the actual ringing of notes was not required. They prioritized fret ringing and adding shit to make it even playable. "All you need is this accessory that hangs on your belt, no biggie, and when you have that you can get this amaaaazing sound. (garbage can lids crashing together)
"it sounds tremendous!" *elaborate fart noises*
Congratulations dude, you just realized how bass guitar sounds like
It’s called a 🅱️ass
@@reyesramireziansebastian8918 That's not how bass sounds like.
"I'm not a bass player" *Proceeds to play better than me, a bass player*
The transition isn't hard, bruh.
Yes it is... if you want to sound like a bass player instead of a guitar player playing bass...
no
yes
Dude wasn't even that bruh
So much for the tone wood silliness!
Yea ~ wood is dead, too expensive and who needs personality and looks? ;~
You're playing with the Midi cable plugged in, and not the 1/4", so what we're hearing is just a synthesizer. What does the bass actually sound like?
Does the instrument itself actually output MIDI or does it just output polyphonically to a box that then converts to MIDI? If the latter then we might be hearing the real instrument.
Does it matter?
There's a breakout box for the magnetic pickups which has a 1/4" out
I LOVE THESE BASSES MAN AND THE CREATIVITY BEHIND THESE INSTRUMENTS.THANKS BOB GOMEZ FOR THE VIDEO.
perfect for industrial music

F that Boi! Id rather get a god damn fodefa at that price point.!
All of them cost 2000 on their website?

It's a weird flute that's sounds like a guitar.

.. well did you? it's been at least a year... 😅
@@chadleycutsllc137 sadly not, an almost $10k bass isn’t the easiest thing to save for, that’s a long term goal.
So basically its a fretless and fretboardless
lol well it has frets so isnt fretless but is boardless...lol
Marcos Kiki
and it is pointless.
bassicaly you say?
It looks as though they are hooked up with the midi out and you are not using the audio out, so is the sound we are hearing from a synth?
Amazing! About 20 years ago I spoke with Gittler himself asking him about building a bass guitar. He refused telling me - "Leave it, a bass is a different animal." Imwonder what he would have said now...
@Waterlec do you mind if I ask you why you did'nt like it?
@Waterlec sorry I thought you'd played it. you're always going to get that muddy muffled sound from a bass amplifier in a confined space like that.
Love it dude, you're great at giving the run down. I bet the recesses on the 5 string are fun!
This thing is straight off of the millennium falcon, it's gorgeous
Next video "*gittler drum demo*"
Part of the fun playing a bass is your body can feel the vibration/resonance. How about this one?
Well, actually titanium vibrates way better then wood (natural polymer). Polymers are known for their good dampening abilities, while resonance travels better in metals.
Zsolt Vaszkó
I'm not disagreeing with you, but if that's true, why does a regular wooden violin sound better than an aluminum one?
Brent Breault aluminum has different resonance than titanium. I bet a titanium violin would sound heavenly.
@@brentbreault7606because it's what you think a violin sounds like. A metal violin is likely louder but depending on the way one could be made, the actual acoustic sound of it could be unpleasant if certain frequencies that our ears don't like are more resonant.

And Spandex jackets for everyone.
What a beautiful world it will be.
This is like my dream bass
Fretless, it doesn't look ugly, actually pretty cool, and sounds good!
look ma playing the antenna.
Where is their booth located... somewhere near the emergency exits?
GITTLER BETWEEN MY LEGS !!!!
Black versions?
racist
They only make them for white guys, sorry.
Mark Squier Nanner Hammock wtf guys , i just think that black version will be more heavy and metal...
what is wrong with you...
And no this is not white , this is SILVER , SO...
Dugi Devet chill dude do you not understand humor?
Nanner Hammock okay , my bad :D
Im guessing neck dive isnt really an issue with those

Hey, where I can buy this guitar?
Not a guitar but check online or something
It is a guitar
Meh, mostly sounded like ass. Nice job slinging in some old Police on the fret less though.
FlatBroke612 it probably sounded like ass because he's shit at bass
So, hows 2020 going for you and your bass
I want one... im a lefty bass player.... where can i get one... how much...
Ok but how do you tune it?
It has the same system as any other headless bass/guitar like Steinberger/Strandberg... Most headless basses and guitars use double ball strings, one attached to the neck and the other on the tuners, they were very popular in the 80s but now they have resurfaced.

I want this
@ 3:59 "The Police" bass line..lol
i cant play single pipe for banding, can u make it flat board, i think it nice..
Nice! What do these instruments retail for, Bro??
It sounds tremendous..................
Did you get your Gittler back?
They look like elegant organ pipes
the video was released on my birthday
+Light Warrior (lightwarrior13) OMG REALLY WOW THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE, SUCH A CRAZY COINCIDENCE!!!!11!11!!!
Perpetual Motion your sarcasm is horrible
YOU HURT MY FEELINGS SO MUCH IM GOING TO CRY NOW!!!111!!!

Unusual-looking isn't worth several grand when you have to work for it.
Polyphonic output, light weight and physically indestructable. More than looks.
Apparently holds its tuning for weeks.
31 frets
I want 1
does it feel much different compared to a normal guitar
Matthew Berry
Yes. Bass have 4 strings and normal guitars have 6
very nice great
But can it handle drop A/B? That't the real question here.
Haha i'm just kidding XD plus, i thought it was a 4 sting...
Oscar Pettersson
Well, it is in high C instead of low B

Beefheart1 Cause they look cool?
Dolphinboi

ApexMike
You can use whatever instrument you want with whatever amplifier you want. It's your shit.
ah, finally, Bassless Fret.
Wood.exe missing or corrupt, please try again

How would you go along refretting this?
The website made my phone get 3 viruses, this was really unappreciated.

Onde eu posso comprar esse baixo
I have a question. How much is it?. Cause i see your webside. But i dont uderstand. 2000 dollar???
...US$9000 :/
The $2K is a deposit.
Cough cough.....$9000.......woah
yeah why would someone pay more for less guitar
I would love to use that fretless as a MIDI controller on the Maschine software. shit would be amazing
TheMellowSavage you should teach me your ways of the bass plzz 😂
Slapa da bass!
I'll stick with a traditional
Ok I was really confused for a sec how the fretless one would work
Looks like a rifle without the back lhhbvs
Are we saving trees? Is that why the wooden bass and its awesome sound has to go?
@101S Is the midi at least wireless? For that price, it should be...
1emailer No such thing as tonewood for an electric bass guitar
So, this is what the future looks like. Weird eh?
Fretless bodyless woodless bass
Fretless bass? Nooo the really future is the glitter bass
'sounds tremendous' no it just sounds like shit
YUP. Sounds awful.
Epico
*hides my own bass* Shhhh, Olli. I won't mistreat you.
Play tommy the cat on the 5 string!!!
Como afinar as cordas

The siren at the fire station across the street sounds better.
That’s gotta feel so weird to not be able to rest your arm on the gutiar
shame didn't find a decent bass player to demo
davie504 needs this
We need Davie to play this NOW
I wish he demonstrated the pickup sound and not just the MIDI
Yeah, he claims "it sounds great" Im over here like yeah your midi software sounds like shit, hows the bass sound?
MASHAALLAH khub valo
For me this Sounds not like a bass.
As a bass player I don't see any use for this TOY
@davie504
Next step in minimalism no strings the only thing is not minimalistic about it is the price.
I could buy six wood basses that sound 10x better for the same price as that glorified whoopee cushion
These are cool. But not worth the price tag cool.
I mean... There are more expensive guitars
boneless bass
send this to davie504

Looks more like antenna .. These kind of things just are not for me at all. Sorry.. I stay wood mades

It’s just a shocking vid. Thanks. Ffs.
I am a bass player turn up the gain dude and start over can't hear it don't be afraid it wont bite you
The guitar sounded great, the bass sounded god awful, no low end and it sounds like a fretless? but its not a fretless....
