Both are great, I have Noble on order

Have you by chance owned a Khan VTDI and compared it to the noble? The noble seems to be a bit more responsive which is what I’m missing with the Khan. Great video thanks!

to my ears, slap sounds better with mids scooped a little bit but with finger style, I like my mids centered or just a bump or two up from center. So, I guess it depends on what you're playing.

Bass-ically

Thanks

I’m newish to EQ (or just bad at it) and play in a psych metal (ish) band. I’ve been using a DI pedal with an easy little “Color” button on it. After getting the pedal I had about 3 months of people telling me my tone was incredible until suddenly I started to worry that it was too thin and pingy, and got a couple of comments about it. With my eq set to the middle, I turn my treble down a bit and my bass down a bit more and then click the color button (which I think is a mid scoop). Often I’ll click on a distortion and try to turn the bass up a bit to adjust. Not sure how to proceed. I’m afraid to see how things would go if I turned off my beloved color button for a whole show. I know I should form my own opinions but it was the feedback I’d received. One sec my tone was incredible and suddenly I’m worried I’m just bold facing a super weird tone. I think the mid scoop brings out the click clack from my fingers, which is also not great, but we’re pretty rowdy and messy I play a ton of sabbathy lead parts.

got the same bass, 2 things that are slightly annoying: strings sound very much differently compared to non-fanned basses. 2nd thing: the stickers do fall apart.. :D Love the bass though. :)

I ordered the Noble for my bday. I just loved the sound. Thank you.

capo is much quieter, please do a loudness normalisation on both units. And because the noble is higly clean unit you shouldn´t compare apples with zucchinis. You tested the capo only in distortion mode, less in the first and much more in the B-side example. So, your comparison is more or less uesless. But the idea is great. Perhaps you decide to do a better made vid?

Both are amazing. I think recording I'd take the Noble, for live I'd take the Capo.

Great story about Roger... Love that kind of thing....

The CAPO is great but the Noble just has that harmonic thing going.

I have the dark Rey 4 and have a 5 on order. I love the one I have but the biggest complaint (If you want to call it that) is that having the distortion on board doesn’t afford you the ability to really switch it on/off with precision, mid-song. With a pedal you can accurately switch over but with it on-board, it’s nearly impossible to switch it mid-song while you’re playing.

Disagree

Alder/rosewood is a perfect formula, can’t go wrong with that

Great video. The thumb with gold mec are not passive. Is a preamp bypass to get just the natural pickup sound. But you'll need the battery always

whenever i think of the thumb bass, the first player that comes to mind is ryan martinie. the bass part of “death blooms” by mudvayne is insane, and the bass part on “march of the cephalopods” by soften the glare is just nuts. edit: ironically enough, he’s a fodera player now

I have learned over the years playing at different venues is to have a EQ pedal as an always on pedal and make adjustments accordingly. For me 400hz-800hz (low mids) is that sweet spot to make adjustments and anything past 1k frequencies are scooped.

Dude, thanks for this VERY informative video!!!

God bless you bass brother. Amen. We need the mids.

I’ve always been one to have everything in the middle, but here’s my experience: in the church setting, we got 2 large studio amps (anything can run through it, but they’re not geared for anything specially), and neither of them could handle bass or treble alone very well. For a while I’ve been having my middle range knob turned all the way up with bass and treble at 50% and that seems to workout.

Tnx for the demonstration. Around what freq is your mids centered?

I got my MetroLine three days ago. The bass does have flawless fit and finish if anyone has concerns about the instrument being made in Germany. I like the warmer tonal balance of nickel round wound strings so putting a set of DR Sunbeams on was the only significant change that I made.

Nice

Thank you for the video. This gives a lot better perspective of its versatility. Would love to hear a preamp comparison between your regular EBMM Special and the DarkRay!

great deal. I need luck like that to find one

awesome bass. crisp attach and growls. this bass would be on my list of wannas'

Live stream where I played this: ua-cam.com/video/xfdzrc_xGM4/v-deo.html Signal path was bass> DG AO > Noble DI

This bass low-key sounds great clean. Differently voiced 2 band compared to other Stingrays.

It sounds great! Video your upright soon please!

That things sounds fantastic!

If you pop the cover open you'll find two trim pots for the drives too. I ended up lowering both drives to level out the volumes between the clean and drives

Darkglass developed the pre amp it's likely a tweaked version of thier tone capsule

Really nice 👍🏻

Valid audio comments. I’m figuring it out a little at a time. I am a weekend warrior so I’m just branching out into videos and strongly believe getting out content (for experience, practice and improvement) far outweighs getting all the bugs worked out from day one. Besides, I’d prefer buying basses to audio interfaces. A room mic won’t capture all the angles for sure but it ain’t horrible either.

Using a room mic instead of direct or a cabinet mic? This does not help know what the bass sounds like at all.

Cant hear a word you are saying.

Very nice demo. Thanks. I am so curious to hear this slapped or with a pick. Would be great to hear if you have time.

Great review. I'm going to get one...

I’m waiting for them to release the black 5ers love all my stingrays!! I just wish the darkyay still had a 3 band instead of the 2 band

Thank you for the review. Thinking about getting one. There better not be any dead spots for $2900. I know that includes tax and shipping, but does it also come with a case?

Thank you for the video. I am also in Texas. Thinking about getting the darkray 5. God, $2900 is a lot of bread, but I really can't think of anything better to spend it on.

Cool demo! Love my Special 5's. Will definitely try one of these if I ever see one

😊
