    Excellent demo! Loved all your talking pointings citing the the highlights of the bass. The sound is truly great and it really does a great throw back to 60's bass sounds. Very impressive. Great price point too!

    Them push button tone and pickup controls remind me so much of a ford cortina estate we had back in the 70s , the radio had those clunky buttons , and twas a pivotal moment in my adolescent life when I clunked a particular button and "san plane pour moi" was just strumming it's first decadent chords , and for a twelve year old raised on country music it was just like loosing my musical virginity , ok, I've probably wandered of the actual bass guitar in question but those buttons sure are nostalgic ,
    Maybe there is a bass pedal with a wind up crank start handle to complement this quirky bass guitar,

    Abraham Laborial had a Goya like you showed, and I got to play it once. I first saw it in Boston, and played it here in Cali. Set-up was not good, but he made magic on that bass. I like that Nordstrand- reminds me of Alphonso Johnson's first bass.

    lovely demo, great bass! It's on my shopping list for sure! Gutted that the series-setting didn't work, would have loved to hear it in the hands of a legend like Frank. Maybe in a small future video? This bass deserves the attention!
    By the way, keep it up Gregor! Great channel, lovely playing and enjoyable presentation. It all just feels very professional :)

  • @borismatesin
    @borismatesin 3 роки тому +1

    That control scheme is something that's been out of use since the 60s, and this is a _really_ cool way to reintroduce it! I do wonder how they managed to wire up the top switch bar, so pressing all-in gives you a series tone!

    I used to have a jaguar bass, which is similar in that it has lots of switches. I'd hit them accidentally, especially when slapping enthusiastically. Pretty sure the switches on this baby would get pushed in while playing too. Pity - looks awesome.
