  • Nordstrand Audio is rolling out their hot new short-scale bass. It's an updated take on the Goya Panther and the modern touches really make a difference in playability. The Acinonyx bass is very lightweight and very easy to play.

    Check out the Atelier Z short scales for the Jaco thing and a more modern J-type sound, they kick ass, you'd like them.

    Nice video, there is models of short
    basses with 5 string (high c)?

    • @soundslikeben
      @soundslikeben  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Basilaras, short scale 5 strings are less common, but still exist. You could start by looking at the Ibanez Talman TMB35. You would have to switch the string configuration from low B to high C, but that is easy. If your budget is on the higher end, check out Serek, New York Bass Works, and Muckelroy basses. Great question and thanks for watching!

    Imagine during a live show, in the dark, under pressure - having to press all 4 buttons at the same time just to switch to ‘’series mode’. Such a needless complication. Whoever designed this is not a gigging bassist. Nor did the designer ask any gigging bassist if this was a good idea, because I guarantee you not a single one of them would have said Yes. This is over-engineering at its worst. A simple 2-way toggle switch would be much more user friendly.

      I’ve found that the only thing that really gets me on a gig is fret markets that I can’t see. I’m looking at you, Fender American Original series!

    • @PorchBass
      @PorchBass 7 місяців тому

      Well, yes. It's mimicking a 60s style of controls. For me that's fine . Everyone who gets one I would bet has a 'normal' fender type bass at home already
