There is a little bit, the body on all Squier Debut and Sonic (formerly Bullet) models will be a little bit thinner than the higher priced models, and therefore, lighter. Add the longer and heavier neck of a bass to that equation, and you will get some neck dive. I will say it's not too bad for me, very rarely notice it happening. But I mostly play seated, so your experience may differ. You may consider the Jackson JS1 bass as well, as I have used that extensively and I think the balance is slightly better if you can forgive the metal aesthetic. Price point is generally similar. Great question, thanks for asking and stopping by!

@SlydeBytes Thank you for the interesting and in-depth evaluations you provided, have a nice day!

@Klaudio64 You have a great day as well!

So this is just my honest opinion from my personal experience, but basically it depends. Companies like Sweetwater for example, I have no issues ordering online from. They are honest and if something isn't right, they make it right. So if I were buying a guitar online without playing it in person first, that's who I would buy from. I've had really mixed results with the other big name "GC" store...some bad experiences and the rest were just ok. This is why most people recommend going to a store and checking out guitars in person first. And in general I concur.

@ thank you for that

Thank you for the encouragement and for stopping by! Happy shreddin'!

Oh man, Mick's sig pickups in this thing would be sweet!!! I may have to give that a try! Sounds like you've modded one spicy guitar! Keep Shreddin'! 🎸🔥🎸🔥

Same! Still my favorite distortion pedal I own

Bass @ 11 o'clock, mid @ 3 o'clock, treble @ 1 o'clock, contour engaged, no overdrive

Thank you! It really stood out to me too!

Hope ya love that guitar!

I have! And I have been very very tempted by it before

Thanks so much and I'm glad you like the pedal!!

Thank ya and glad to have you in the community!! 🎸🔥🎸

I'm glad you told me that, I have been tempted by the Jackson Performer series on the used market before and held off out of unfamiliarity! Think I'll stick with the JS! Thanks!!

Congrats on the Fender!! The Player series is amazing, and the Player 2 just takes it further! For sure a very different tone than the Jacksons, very clear and a bit less aggressive. Ceramic vs Alnico II I'd wager. Regardless, it's a neat tone and really works in many genres. For the fret sprout, it's more that you can just feel the fret ends rather than being sharp. Like a tactile thing. My Jim Root Tele is similar but not quite as pronounced. Different. Rolled is still my preference. Again congrats on the Strat, may it bring you much happiness, and thanks for stopping by! Happy shreddin'! 😆🔥🎸

Nice! How's it sound with the flats?

@ awesome!!

That's something I brought up in other videos with the Spark Go, it definitely struggles at handling higher volumes more so than the NU-X. Its speaker is simply smaller and that's a side effect.

Yeah I love the amp and the app, the whole package is handy...but I'm still kinda dubious about it. I love the thing, but I have been using mine less lately just in case

Update.. I contacted Positive Grid support via their Web site. After asking me if I had tried solutions from their FAQ, they sent me a RMA number and a shipping label. Within 3 working days, I had a new unit at my door. Excellent customer service in Canada.

I try to always start with some jamming unless I need time to explain something. Sets the mood and gets me more excited to review 😆! Thank ya for checking out the vid!

For sure! They made a huge difference with that gift!

Thanks so much and Happy New Year!

Thank you! I wasn't sure anyone ever read those but I keep trying 😅! Glad it helped you!

I believe mine are blank as well

Hey there good to see ya! I've actually got a vid on metal tones with the Bugera V5, it can definitely do it, but it sounds a little bit better running through a cab. The stock speaker is def more vintage based, but that said you can still get some cool early metal tones out of it too! The Boss DS-1 can do metal very well when hit with an OD boost. The Blues Driver would be perfect for that. I did a vid on that too, but used a bad monkey instead. Overall, you've got all the right stuff for some great grinding tones! I need a blues driver, what a fantastic pedal! Thanks for stopping by friend!

@ yes! I totally agree about the speaker in the Bugera. Immediately after buying it, I built a home made cab and put a 12” celestion greenback in it... the Bug is just a head now... I love it that way! And now that you mention it , I remember that video on the v5 tones...I’ll have to revisit your v5 video...

@dwstoeckel4740 ah I love Celestion greenbacks! Such a great speaker! Also, major respect for building your own cab, one of these days I'd like to try that with an Eminence Swamp Thang

I would describe this as a C style neck

The battery is what keeps me from active pickups in general too

Thank you for stopping by! 😁

Exactly! I'm really liking the lunchbox amp head format more and more. I'm not much of a computer guy, so the lunchbox heads let me get different styles and tones without taking up a ton of room as an affordable alternative to all of the modeling and capturing stuff. Plus, you often get a real tube in there, and I think that matters! Even if just a little bit. Thanks as always, more videos will be coming soon!

I can't get mine past that volume either without annoying people 😂, so loud!

No dumb questions here my friend! I would definitely purchase a cab, I'm not sure plugging into a combo would be necessarily good for either. My main concern would be electric current damaging either amp head or combo.

And cabs can be easily built at home.... I bought a 12” celestion greenback for 135.00 and built my own..😎👍🏻

I think it's been mentioned in a previous video (possibly multiple), but Orange actually makes a pretty sweet 8" cab specifically for their Micro amps, and it's rather affordable (like $100 USD)... they're actually really great! You can usually find a combo deal on the Micro Dark/Terror and the cab, well worth it in my opinion.

Niiice! That's gonna look wicked! Hope ya enjoy!

Gio/Ibanez are typically pretty awesome guitars, I recommend them all lot!

It's definitely a blast to play!!

Happy Thanksgiving, back at ya! 😁

For sure, there are some great budget options out there but it still adds up really fast! 😞

Yeah I def wanna pick up some of the JOYO amp heads in the future! And maybe the Marshall DSL 1, and the Friedman, Big er, and Deizel minis too! Thank ya for watching and commenting!

I honestly considered both of those myself! I gotta get a two tone in the collection!! Thank you!

I have been tempted to try out the EMG passive, H4 I believe. The ceramic pickup variation. Just curious to see what that sounds like compared to the 81 and my Duncan Distortions

💯💯💯🔥

For sure! I'll go into a full in depth review of this guitar coming Sunday, but it's really something! Mick is fantastic, I want his Jackson signature really bad. Hopefully I'll track one down! Thanks as always friend! Happy shreddin'!

I use it before any other effects, seems to get the most "pure" tone quality from my rig there. All rigs/amps are different though so results may vary. I definitely recommend experimenting with your effects chain to find what works best for you. Great question, happy shreddin', thanks for stopping by!

@@SlydeBytes thanks for replying, just ordered one from aliexpress £14.49 -£17.39 after tax so cheers for the demo

@vnrider1500 No prob, that's what I'm here for! Hope you enjoy that pedal! 😁

Thank you! They definitely do! Love the unique tone myself!

Thank you! Jim is sometimes called the rhythm guitarist in Slipknot, but most of the time it seems that he and the other guitarist Mick trade solos these days. Neither use whammies often, but Jim does have a new signature Charvel with a Floyd.

Mick's Jackson Soloist is def my favorite of his signatures! I was super torn between the Tele and the Charvel, but the simplicity and the iconic status of the Tele won me over. I may still pick up one of those Charvel's in the future though .... Happy shreddin', thanks for being here! 😁🔥🎸

I did not realize that, but it makes a ton of sense because that neck feels great and I love Jazz basses! Thanks for the info! 😁

Happy Birthday! And hey, you can never have too many guitars! Awesome that you're building your own too, I want to do that eventually! My wife has definitely enabled my guitar acquisition syndrome, I hear ya! Again Happy Birthday, thanks for watching and commenting!

That is an incredible deal! Heck, I'd buy it again at that price!

Thanks for the demo!​@@SlydeBytes

@@micksterminator3 That's what I'm here for, and I hope it was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting! Happy shreddin'!

💯💯💯 it's a great guitar!!!

@@SlydeBytes Yes yes Happy to have this, especially got single coil and also humbucker in one guitar.

@edogenpaku7050 It's a very nice pickup combo to have! So much versatility!
