Great video!

[@peterdegen1194]

Thanks!

I know the Spirit models were built in Korea. I thought the Synapse models were built in the US and that there was no correlation with Gibson. Was I mistaken?
Even though it is probably a question of apples and oranges, the single magnetic EMG probably gives this model the flavor of a Stingray. In any event, I imagine that if I were to get another bass with only one pick up on it, it would be one with a humbucker.

[@neoland666]

You are mistaken indeed, it is made in Korea and made under the name Steinberger, which is owned by Gibson since around 1988.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Thank you for the clarification, @@neoland666.

[@camstrain]

What did you pay for it?

[@neoland666]

Around 1000 euros in 2008.

[@mixc8]

Neo quick question do you do your own setup on your Synapse bass?

[@neoland666]

Well, I have not play the bass a lot, and haven't changed strings ever. So I never have done anything, concerning the set up actually.

[@rosestory7361]

This is P bass

[@neoland666]

Precision?

[@rosestory7361]

​@@neoland666 Yes like Pbass soud

[@neoland666]

To be honest, no. The pickups are different and the way this bass is made is radical different. It does sound awfully good by the way, a typical Steinberger.

[@neoland666]

@@rosestory7361 I made a video comparing these basses, check it out : ua-cam.com/video/RzwU_0pUjvY/v-deo.html

Somehow, I think there is a difference between the split coil pickup on a P bass and the humbucking EMG on this model.
