Artist Vintage Hybrid Fretless 4 String Bass Review + Demo
Just giving my opinion on this affordable fretless bass. There isn’t quite anything of this value on the market and hopefully this video can help give somewhat of an opinion.
If you enjoyed this video leave a comment with your opinion, i’d love to hear what others are thinking.
For the playing demo I’ve found the bass sounds the best with both eq knobs at max. This is because they’re a cut rather than a boost.

thanks for the review. getting myself the exact one as yours.
Sounds Amazing. Thanks for the review!
😐
Great video ,fantastic job.
I would like to see someone having a slap attack on one of these????
You should do song covers.
Nice review. I think the confusion you're having with the direction of the balance knob is that there is no consistent mapping between "clockwise/anti-clockwise" and "left-right". When you say you turn the knob "all the way to the left", that could also mean "all the way to the right", depending on which way you're looking at it.
Did you ever go back to trying rounds? I read yer previous comment regarding getting a replacement bas after a pickup failed. Did the replacement have the same dodgy fretboard?
Mine just arrived and I love it. Great build quality, sounds great, it's a lot of fun to play. One of the best value things I've ever bought!
Hi mate just wondering if you still have it and how is it holding up. Cheers mate
Thanks, I am looking at getting one of these and a buyer's review is helpful
Great review – thanks!
stellar review, 11/10
