    In 2023 I bought a Lākland 44-02, a 4 string. I love it, but my go-to bass is my Lākland 55-02, a 5 string I bought in 2022. Thank you Julia, great video.

    As an artist serious about their craft? I look around and return to your content and input for Thomann's Guitars & Basses. That's my strongest support. Really! I play bass in the worship field. I know! But today, the EBS UniChorus was revelatory for me to add on my board. And then check that sound in combination varying levels of reverb and delay. Thank for inspiration Julia! Sometimes what they want out of Church Bass is honestly... well... it should be more!

    My favorite gear is by far the Schecter C-1 Platinum with grover Machineheads, Tuneomatic Bridge, Satin feel, transparent finish (TMNT green, midnight blue, transparent black, purple or white front, black on the back being the newest edition). Comes stock with EMG 81 and 85 pickups, easy 9 volt battery access and once again the satin feel, especially up and down the neck can't be beat. Bass is my primary instrument but I like to write on the guitar and C-1 PLATINUM by Schecter is perfect for anyone looking for a great 6 string that cost only 600 on sale.

    Hi Julia, maybe I get lucky and you'll read this. Can you recommend some wide bass straps? I'm actually a guitar player, but as I'm getting older and older, my back slowly turns into a rotten broom stick. So holding my 350 tons Les Paul guitar isn't that easy any more. I'd like to try out some wide straps and I guess bass players probably have some know-how on that field ... thanks in advance! 🙏

    Ooof, first time I've checked the price of a Harley Benton bass and been a bit dissappointed. Not that it's expensive relative to the competition. Similar price as equivalent Marcus Miller. But, I'm not sure that within the HB range, that price is justified. A lot of the parts improvements are still incremental OEM parts improvements. Can't have cost HB more than 100 eur more, yet the bass costs 3x the normal range and 200 more than the Enhanced series, which have similar specs. Finish looks nice, but 499? Can't help feeling 349 would be more in keeping with the rest of the range. At around 500 eur, I think most people would choose a Marcus Miller P7.

    The Mono Neon is not a best of the year. Usually how a bass looks is not much of a factor but this bass is so mismatched and visually off putting that it has to be. There are few situations were this would work aesthetically. Like I said it usually doesn't matter but this is so loud it has to be factored in. The pickups he brought back for the model are dope but totally out weighted by the horrible colors. I would have to fork out tons of cash for a refinish to play one.
