    This is what every "reviewer" out there should do. This is what we "listeners" want. The BEST roundup/shootout i have ever witnessed. Im a metalhead and every shootout video i find out there its either slaphand, jazzy moves, or some weak attempt to play something for ME. You did it exactly the way everybody else should be doing it. Short simple elegant and of course.....the riffs has to be the same whatever style you play. I found the Warwick to be greater than i expected. Le fay surprised me (never heard it b4) Dingwall sounds too "solo" for me and the MM is maybe just ok. Peavey too. Im going to listen many more times but today my money is on the W and the LF :-) Thank you. Thank you Thank you.

      Agreed. I'm almost always in favor of Warwick in any sort of comparison, but in this specific demonstration, overall, I would list: Le Fay, Cirrus, and then a toss up between the Thumb & NG2. Both excelled in different categories, and both have equally arousing sexy factors. My biased opinion would choose the Thumb over the Ng2. Last and certainly least is that strange looking Fender. 😜

  • @williamferry9715
    @williamferry9715 4 роки тому +19

    This format is an excellent way to hear the difference between basses. Nathan's precise playing and meticulous recording left all the differences to the basses.
    I think based on this, the Peavey is the all-around best bass. Surprised? I'm not. I've owned all kinds of basses, amps, and etc, and Peavey can really make stuff. But Dingwall? WOW. I had never heard one really played before. It is the kind of pure piano tone that Entwistle was always headed toward with his Alembics. That is a fantastic bass. The other three did not impress me, and I was surprised to find the Music Man kinda taking last place, in my opinion.
    Looking forward to Nathan's other vids ...

      Yeah, compared to the Peavey with the clean tone, the Warwick sounded a little flat and lifeless. Now, with distortion, the Warwick sounded great. Then again, not every setup is right for every instrument.

    • @marike1100
      @marike1100 6 років тому +11

      Except the Music Man sounded best for slap by far. But the bassist left the slap EQ for fingerstyle, when he should have rolled off the tone knob. But overall, the Music Man sounded puncher and better than the rest. The neck thru design of the Peavey makes it poor for slap. So it was Music Man, Dingwall, the last one, and the Peavey and Warrick tied for last place. Sorry.

    I think the Peavy was WAY better sounding than I expected! Wow! The Dingwall was pretty good too. Disappointed by the Warwick and MusicMan.

      Ikr everyone's saying they didn't like it but I think it was just a different kind of sound to the others

      Musicman is too flabby on that low string. But their 4 strings sound great. Classic sound.

      The Warwick and Musicman were both really bad tonally on the B and E. I've read a ton of reviews on the Warwick Thumb bass and a friend has one. For 3k-5k for a Warwick Thumb I expect a lot more. When the Peavey and less expensive Dingwall blow it away where is the 1500 dollar price difference justified, unless you like saying I play a German made Warwick? It's a beautiful Bass but for me the premium price isn't justified.

    Surprisingly, I liked the Peavey best. It spoke with authority across the entire fretboard and every genre. The Dingwall was a close second.

  • @rizzo_grt
    @rizzo_grt 4 роки тому +1

    Surprised at how nice that Dingwall bass sounds. I didn't expect it to have such a nice full tone like that, it's definitely my favourite.

  • @olymoon2008
    @olymoon2008 6 років тому +3

    Dingwall and Lefay were overall most convincing to me, with special mention for the Peavey for it's neck pickup clean sound. If I had to chose one, I'd buy the Dingwall.

      @XChristianNoirX 6 років тому +1

      It's not a typical Warwick. The best one is probably one with a wenge neck and ovangkol body.
      This one looks like maple, which changes the sound and feel dramatically.
      Personally, I have an NG2, but I love Thumbs too!

    Many people talking bad about the Stingray, I don’t get you, I love the crispy dirty sound of it. and it’s more versatile than most of these basses. He’s just comparing one of the ton of sounds that he can get on that beast. Play one and then talk.

    I’m a sucker for multi scale basses, so I love the Dingwall one, but all biases aside, I’d say for me, it’s a tie between the Dingwall and the Le Fay

    • @josephcote7702
      @josephcote7702 5 років тому

      I'll say, as someone who never thought they'd own a MusicMan because they always sounded too scooped...try out a Bongo5. I now own a Bongo and it's because of those neo pickups and that 4 band EQ. The high and low mid adjust makes such a huge difference. Plus, you can pick a used Bongo5 up for almost half price of a new one. :)

    • @mforgetteable
      @mforgetteable 5 років тому +1

    • @theshagothone
      @theshagothone 5 років тому +1

      Dude get one. I absolutely love mine. The multiscale gives the low B a serious punch, and they're very light considering the size. I've got a few videos on my channel of me playing it
