hey jeff, I as well as maybe others would love to see a video on the 30" scale vaders. the 4&5 perhaps to hear the difference (due to tension change). plus bass could always use some extra love! :D this assuming both basses in this great video were 34" scale. thanks guys! hoping I can save up for some keisel goodness soon! :P
Awesome job my friend Darryl! Really proud of you brother!
Never been a fan of the headless look but holy crap that black one o_O
So the Freeby dude certainly has some cool technique, but shouldn't a demo video show off tones using uh...techniques that people actually use?
+Dan Wasko Hi Dan Wasko, it's nice to meet you. I lost use of my middle finger about 8 years ago now do to a neurological problem called focal dystonia. All I'm doing is using my thumb and index finger in an alternating fashion, just like the traditional index/middle finger technique that we all use. The intro was something that was made up on the spot that Jeff really liked, at 3:06 is a more traditional bass line approach al "modern rock", and the outro at 10:40 is more of a single note finger style soloing approach. Thanks for the compliment on the "cool technique" though, I really appreciate it!
+Dan Wasko No worries Dan, when something goes up on youtube you kind of expect some criticism lol. At first I hated the technique myself but the better that I got with it I realized that it gave me a sound of my own, for better or worse. I've been a professional freelance/studio musician for over 14 years and when I had to make the switch from the traditional approach most people didn't even notice the difference tonally. Think of it like a palm muting technique with the muting optional. lol
+Kevin Freeby I didn't notice a thing besides great playing on a great sounding bass. I just joined the Kiesel club about a half hour ago. Ok a couple of months from now really but this is an inspiring video. Thanks for participating.
+tourinjohn Thanks!
Nice playing really like the chords played👍
Those single coils!!!
You should send one to Alex from Slipknot. He loves his headless basses.
+Chris “Wolfman” Cuthbertson Already did :)
CLEAN.
Is that a pot plant behind 'em? Oh, yeah. Nice basses, too.
That black Kiesel with humbuckers sounded very organic good to my ears. Ash/ebony? What is the price tag for that particular bass?
Hi guys are you planning to distribute this basses in Mexico, I will be glad to test one of those, and why not having one with my bamd here
true entrepreneurship
Hi guys, are you going to make a demo of the AC50, fretted version?, I am seriously interested in it but I am hesitant because it has only a transducer, so I am afraid it doesn't have a huge range of tonal capabilities. I hope you see this message. Thanks
We would love to have videos for each model - but trying to shoot a high quality video takes a tremendous amount of time. Keep in mind every instrument we sell has a 10 day in home trial period so if you are not 100% satisfied you are welcome to return it.
+Kiesel Guitars +Kiesel Guitars Thank you so much for the super fast reply. Yes I am aware of that great policy you got, the problem is that I live in Japan, so it would be a real hassle to return it ($$, time, and wishing it doesn't get blemished during shipping). Thanks for your reply though :)
Is it possible to order one with a single coil in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge position ?
+Michael Webb You sure can, just give our guys a call 858-GUITARS
what is the string spacing at the bridge and nut? and does the 30" have the same measurements or is it smaller?
Does anyone know what strap Darrell is using in this video? I've been looking for one just like but have struggled to find it.
Love the awkward sofa... try to sit closer together for more uncomfortableness...
do a fan fret, i dare you ;)
WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOOSE?!?!?!???!?!
1) Please include Ceramic and Neodymium pickups in your pickup arsenal
2) demoing a bass with a guy using his thumb and near-buzzing super low action is pointless and unhelpful.
Please show someone actually digging into the strings, like Geezer Butler style.
Was this filmed with a potato lol? Joking aside, it's nice to see you guys are putting up more demonstrations online. This definitely surpassed my expectations, sounds great
Guy sitting right of Jeff, lousy demo. Guy sitting left, nice job demoing the sound with a playing technique that 99% of players ACTUALLY USE.
Somewhere in the description, you should add the bassists' names and web links. :)
I JUST BOUGHT AN ORISIS FRETLESS FIVE STRING BASS.
PLAYS GREAT.
HAS THE HARD AS NAILS FINGERBOARD.
Think should I buy an Orisis fretless bass or the Vader fretless in a six string model.
Any thoughts?
Just received the VB5 I ordered. This will be one of my go to basses. Love the bass for how it sounds and plays. The big reason I ordered one was because I sometimes get so busy playing, I need a bass that's easier on my shoulder, etc, but no compromise tone wise. Plays like a dream, and sounds amazing. Happy.
Amazing
Oh yeah, this is my next purchase! 😊
Great tone; very articulate and punchy tone with great attack. Will get one sometime soon
Didn't think I'd like the single coils. this video proved me wrong, I love them. OK, so the playing is pretty awesome as well. :)
I personally only use single coil for bass, but the humbucker sounds nice if the tone isn´t so fat.
Hey what's that guy Daryle's last name?
Nice Bass's & original String System Cool ... Jeff, Ive been with you guys since 93 ... My First Amp still have 2of3 of those... Do you Offer Factory Output for 2 Amps~? One For each Pickup~?
+Rick Johnson That's really cool, you should drop Jeff a line on facebook.com/officialjeffkiesel and let him know. We do not offer that standard but I am sure our custom shop can handle it, I would call in and speak with our bass expert Keith 858-GUITARS
will do thanks
Great ✌️
Rule #2
+Leisure Muffin I don't think that rule applies to these two guys.
I'm really interested in the fretless sound of this bass. Do you have a fretless demo for the Vader Headless Bass?
+Manna Blue Not yet but I have a feeling we will have a demo pretty soon
Yes! Please. A fretless demo would be great.
I was going to buy a Status graphite headless bass. Maybe i'll wait.
Can you get these basses in your soap bar pickups
Did Freeby get a freeby or did he buy that bass?
Love that bass that the guy on the right is playing
That is our Antique Ash finish.. it's one of our favorites as well!!
The guy on the left has no clue about dynamics. better to have someone like Darrell demoing the basses. The guy on the left has to much ego, and quite frankly can not groove at all
I know I'm in a microscopic minority but I'd love a 32" option. I started with a Warmoth 30" bass and also have a 34" Fender but I just recently converted the Warmoth to 32" and I'm absolutely loving that scale length. I just couldn't get the 30" to feel right and 34" is a bit long for my small hands so while I'd love a 4 string Vader to go with my Holdsworth and California Single Cutaway guitars I'm reluctant to order either available scale of it.
that sounds awesome, hope you had your Vader.
