  • My wife has this bass and it is the best sounding of all her basses (Fender Jazz, Fender Mustang, Gibson SG and two Hofners)….

  • The new ones for 2019 sound awesome. They finally just put the pickup on the middle and got it right.

  • Great demo! You nailed the Geezer tone quite nicely.  This pushed me over the cliff, and I just pulled the trigger on one of these today.

  • you're an idiot. it's based off of Gibson's Les Paul Double Cut guitar model. this is a bass version of an iconic guitar. I could be wrong but I believe the Les Paul DC came out before the SG.

  • Watch their performance in Paris, 1970, you can see them backstage before the show, and Geezer is playing around before going out, and you can hear a quite obvious buzz and clank of his strings unamplified. If you've ever played with flats, you know that they make like zero sound unamped. I think he used old roundwounds. Live at least. Then again, how he got his signature sound live is really what is still somewhat unknown, because you can make a P bass sound like anything in studio.

  • I don't know why the closest tone you can get to a Geezer Butler tone is playing Gibsons, when he almost only played P basses.

  • I'd like to hear some bass reviews that also include slapping and other funk-related techniques, please.

  • @AcousticBeaver You're right. Les Pauls, SGs, just terrible… That was sarcasm in case you couldn't see that.

  • what was that ugly kid joe tune he played at the beginning (second sample). i just cant figure out which song it was

  • No thanks. First impression of this wasn't good. Didn't even sound intonated. Too buzzy.

  • saw one at the music store and tried it out… i liked the sounds it gave. Used to be totally against short-scales but now i'm thinking of getting a short-scale bass… but I can't justify paying $1200 (CAD) for it. I'd much rather get a Epi Viola.

  • Lovely little looking bass. I rather wish you did a few bits with a pick as well, to show the difference in tone and how it sounds with and without a pick, but this is lovely sounding as it is. I'll have to look into grabbing one of these little babies when I get the chance. Gotta love a good short-scale bass.
