I can hear the ocean breeze when strings not being flicked or picked….
I played a 4-string version of one of these yesterday the action was extremely high and very uncomfortable to play and the E string sounded crappy it was very muddy
Can I play it through a pa mixer board
For me…these Basses MUST have those Black Nylon Wound Strings on them! ..for they are Acoustic so,..I’d go for that “Upright Tone” to sweeten the blend when jamming with Acoustic Guitarists. b(‘_<) They hold their own in that realm or setting..imo! I’ve got a Gregg Bennett J-12KCE Acoustic Bass & Guitar and they sound so good! Using a Zoom A2.1u MultiFX unit brings out the beast in both!..everything right there inside…the Comp + FX! Couple that w a EBS MicroBass II DI..and I’m killer hooked up to a P.A. ..and NO Feedback issues at all! (Damping the Sound Hole with a rubber cover does help that out!) Anyway,…I dig my Acoustic Bass!! Oh!,..should state that mine is Fretless!!..to go w/the Nylons,..b(‘_<)….((f-_-!)))..that string⚡️⚡️???? noise‼️????with those frets has gotta go‼️????????
I set mine up with nylon wound strings. They give it a more upright sound that sound really nice in combination with acoustic guitars. The instrument is really very smooth to play and is a real looker. For me the nicest acoustic bass I have owned so far. Mine come with a different electronics. Fishmann MKAB (Michael Kelly Acoustic Bass) Specially designed for this bass. See me playing it here (not too good sound as recorded on iphone) https://youtu.be/D4uqB0sZmEU
What is the song at the beginning of the video?
I want one and I would string it E.A.D.G.C like my fender quilt top 24fret five string bass guitar
The inlay pattern is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the video!
I tried one out in a pawn shop. It would have been a great deal but the feedback was so bad when plugged in I didn't get it.
Thanks for an excellent demonstration!
Well, I think one of the main reasons somebody considers 5 string bass is the B string, so that's a little note for future. I swear, nobody plays it in any video ever…. You would have been a saviour and a miracle. Although I must say thanks for at least not playing solos but sticking to the lower register! That's also hard to find.
So SEXY????????
How many frets does it have
Seriously considering the Dragonfly. I have a Patriot LP style 6 string and absolutely love it! Subtle little design ideas about the MK line make it all the more reason to have one. If you play one, you get it.You just helped me make an informed choice. Thank you Sir!
did you play the B-string?
