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.
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.
I’d love to see you do a ranking video where you rank all your basses according to most and least favorite!!
@@TimBitten All of them? That will be a very long video then 😁
Thanks for watching!
@@neoland666yes! Make it an hour long!! 😎
Great video!
Thanks!

You are mistaken indeed, it is made in Korea and made under the name Steinberger, which is owned by Gibson since around 1988.
Thank you for the clarification, @@neoland666.
Is it possible to replace the string holder st the nut with a spirit one?
Good question. It's a totally different beast. I don't think it is possible to do a one on one swap. Thanks for watching!
@neoland666 I found a company called Peter Weiss designs, they make string adapters for a lot of the different newer steinberger guitars and basses
Neo quick question do you do your own setup on your Synapse bass?
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.
What did you pay for it?
Around 1000 euros in 2008.
This is P bass
Precision?
@@neoland666 Yes like Pbass soud

@@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.
