What a great comeback from a band right after a long hiatus period, and everyone on the band has leveled up, they're getting better and better. Fami the new bassist, is a real game changer. She adds a new tone, color, style, energy, and HOPE. This was a new dimension for LOVEBITES.
I smile when I see “best female metal band” in comments. Other than the fact I’m male and they’re beautiful women, honestly, their gender was utterly irrelevant when I very first saw them. It was just “f**k me, what musicians! 50 years of listening to Heavy music, beginning with early Queen, through Purple, Rainbow, Queensryche, Nightwish (early years). Then it stopped, because there was nothing. Nothing for about 15 years. Then Lovebites came to my attention and…besotted. I own the catalogue, managed to get some signed stuff, follow them on social media, the works. Apart from the odd reaction to older stuff, they are all I listen to, and it has been for almost two years. Everything else just sounds, well, not as good. So they’re not the best “female” anything. They’re the best band. Ever. Seriously.
@@TheCyberMantis There are several Symphony X songs I like. I bought some of them on iTunes. Never bought an album of theirs though. Lovebites was the first band whose albums I bought since maybe Manowar or the recent Iron Maiden releases.
@@ChadTheDragonLord That's cool. Glad you are checking them out. I recommend the "V" album. It is a musical journey from start to finish. Believe it or not, I don't like all Symphony X songs. There are several songs I don't care for. But if you look at everything they have done over the last 25+ years, it's extremely impressive. Lovebites is already on-track to top them. In some ways, they already have.
They are getting better, better and better every new song 🤘 By the way "Don't Bite The Dust" is their first video as far if I know. Followed by "Shadowmaker" and "The Crusade".
Yes, yes and yes! This is the band and man, foi need to listen more amazing LOVEBITES songs like these: Thrash Metal (vibes): Shadowmaker (official video or live DVD 2021) Winds of Transilvânia (Vladlove version) The Awakeing/The Hammer of Wrath (Live 2020 Dvd) Thunder Vengeance (Live Dvd 2020 - opening song) Power Metal: When Destinies Align (Official video) Glory to The World (official video) Signs of Deliverance (Live 2020 DVD) The Cruzade (official video) Addicted (Live 2020 Dvd) Raise Some Hell (Live 2020 Dvd) We The United (Live 2020 Dvd) "Ballads": Edge of The World (Live 2020 Dvd) Empty Daydream (Live 2019 Dvd) Frozen Serenade (Live 2021 Dvd)
That headless bass is actually Fami's signature model from Bacchus. I believe she said that she recommends that female players try them out because they are lighter in weight.

Killer track!! Fami is the new bassist and yep this is the first time we see her playing a new song!! 🤘🐺🤘Been addicted to this song since it released!! 🔥
Fami Fami Fami! Your only the second re-actor to say they struggle to hear much of the Bass I can tell You it is Definitely Your headphones Fami is shinning all thru this track.
If I told you the Lovebites leveled up you'd think I'm crazy because how could they get any better They leveled up on all fronts. Asami's voice - better. Midori - fast and tight as ever. Haruna - incredible cymbal and fill work. Miyako - worked on her speed during hiatus and it showed. Fami - incredible bass lines, a perfect fit for this band. And you're not the only one who mentioned wanting more bass - I hear plenty of bass throughout this song.
I’ve always felt that Haruna was one of the most creative drummers in using her cymbals but she has leveled up. Some of that will be having Fami, with her different style of playing, and them locking up in sections. I’m also curious about what will happen when they play their pre-Fami songs on concert. Will Fami stay true to Miho’s bass lines or will she add her style of playing and if so, how much? Can’t wait to find out.
Happy New Year! I wish you a good year. On 17 August 2021, LOVEBITES took an extended break after their leader, bassist Miho, left the group. The remaining girls organised an audition for a new bassist from the public from all over the world and recruited a new bassist named Fami. "JUDGEMENT DAY" is the first song from the long rest. The song is also a JUDGEMENT DAY for the fully revived LOVEBITES and the legitimacy of Fami's adoption by the new bassists. You will be amazed by new bassist Fami's slapping and fast finger picking. If you watch "Alien Alien" on her TH-cam channel, which was uploaded 4 years ago with 10,420,000 listens on her content, you will be amazed at her world-class slapping skills. With the addition of new bassist Fami, the trio's harmony shredding may become a reality. Fami is a five-string bassist who can dance, sing, and play, and boasts 667,000 TH-cam subscribers. Fami is 20 years old with a cute smile. Fami had his signature headless bass WOODLINE5AC-HL Fami from the Bacchus Handmade Series when he was 19 years old. The new oil finish coloring, custom-made pickguard, and inlays that embody her image were created at Fami's request. Ash body & custom color "Bordeaux Purple Oil" And Fami ordered a 4-string custom made bass. It is made by Freedom, a Tokyo-based workshop specializing in custom guitars. It will be delivered in the summer of 2023. Announced in live talk content on December 5, 2022 on TH-cam channel "Fami。" Fami is currently a university student. LOVEBITES will be back Live in March 2023. [WE ARE THE RESURRECTION] 11 Mar 2023 EX THEATER ROPPONGI TOKYO 12 Mar 2023 EX THEATER ROPPONGI TOKYO The girls will recreate "Judgement Day" in this live performance. Please continue to LOVEBITES in the future.
Going through their discography chronologically is a great idea. That will really show you their improvement over the years. And they started out really good already.
Great reaction, subbed for your Lovebites journey. Lovebites 2.0 blew me away once again with this track. Can't wait for the album to drop on February 22. I can guarantee the rest of the album will be this good or better. I'm ready to be blown away some more. ❤🔥🤘💯
incase you didnt know Lovebites released a new music video acouple days ago called Stand and Deliver it is incredible you guys should react to it please let me know what you think
I love Lovebites, and I love headless guitars. They're great for use while seated at a computer recording or whatnot. Also great while traveling. Use the right tool, to do the job right.
Lovebites love to play live and they make something epic every time. MV's sometimes not attached to the songs meaning or vibes(i think). Anyway Lovebites is just the best metal band for sure. All members are superb master musicians.👍👍🤘🤘
To answer your question about headless guitars and basses, they never visually appealed to me until I saw Shiren from Unlucky Morpheus playing one of his Strandberg guitars due to his medical condition. Something about Strandbergs just look cool. The same goes for Fami's Bacchus signature bass here. It's a beautiful instrument. That said, I've never played a headless bass or guitar, so it's not something I would buy sight unseen like how my wife bought my Zemaitis MFG24 for me. Doesn't matter how good an instrument looks if I don't like the feel. You asked about their music videos. Here's the list in order of release: 1. "Don't Bite the Dust" 2. "Shadowmaker" 3. "The Crusade" 4. "Rising" 5. "When Destinies Align" 6. "Golden Destination" 7. "Winds of Transylvania" 8. "Glory to the World" 9. "Nameless Warrior" 10. "Judgement Day" One thing to note is that there are two videos for "Winds of Transylvania," the original version where it's just the ladies playing and Asami is a vampire and the VLAD LOVE version where it's the same video only it has inserts from an anime called, well, VLAD LOVE. The original version was only released on the A version of the "Glory, Glory to the World" EP and later on the "In the Beginning" compilation. It's cool to watch, but if you see one version, you've pretty much seen both versions.
There first two music videos were "Shadowmaker" and "Don't Bite the Dust". They re-uploaded them without the advertisements that were in the middle of the originals so the dates on the videos are misleading. They were originally posted in 2017. Shadowmaker: th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html Don't Bite the Dust: th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html
Enjoyed the reaction. I tried a Steinberger when they first came out back in the '80s. I agree with you, I wasn't a fan. But some people really dig them and that's cool. Fami is endorsed by Bacchus. The headless one is her signature model. If I remember correctly, "Don't Bite the Dust" would be their first music video. It's either that one or "Rising". In any case, both are very early ones before Midori went blonde.
Their first MV was in February of 2017 - Don't Bite the Dust th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html . The second MV was Shadowmaker - later in 2017 th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html. I like your idea of going back to see where they were - compared to where they ARE now. Those 2017 MV's show the Epic Talent was pretty much there - although they have matured from a Really Good young Metal Band to what I truly think will be a Legendary Band sometime in the future. The Talent, in composition, Technical proficiency, Vocal excellence, Stage Presence (with Theatrical touches) is just off the charts. And their ability to pull it off Live is breathtaking.
Here is the Lovebites youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@LOVEBITES_jp/videos If you want to do a chronological deep dive, they are mostly in reverse chron order here--the main exception is "Shadowmaker", which was their second posted MV but was taken down and more recently cleaned up and reposted. So do "Shadowmaker" second, then go back to "Rising." Happy trails, you are in for a lot of face-melting.
Older MVs are "Don't Bite The Dust", "Rising", and "Shadowmaker" from the 2017 era. I agree! The latter also exists without the DVD/concert ads in the middle.
Calling it now: in one of the tracks from the new album, FAMI gets to sing more than just in chorus. Either a song, or a duo with Asami, she will be singing for us; i`m sure of it. th-cam.com/video/SMjCtNOY4N4/w-d-xo.html
Love your reactions! :D This song is epic! :D BTW there is a new Nanowar of Steel song and video coming out on the 10th of January, that is about a very special winter storm. I think you might like that. :D Have fun and safe travels!
Interesting. I’ve never had a problem with action on the lower end. But then again I have big hands. I have yet to play a headless bass. I might have to track one down and give it a go.
@@ThunderRooster I have small hands/short arms and I play guitar as well and we swap instruments all the time in my band (I get bored easy and sing as well) and I find the length easier to manage for me but my friend has a Fender Precision and hates my Hohner B2.
Music by Asami and Mao, mild surprise, Lyrics by Asami no surprise. Intro is Fami their new bassist!! AND she's got her RockStar hairdo!! Haruna is a blond with Midori looking ripped. The song is definitely Lovebites and a great comeback, loved the intro featuring Fami. Can't wait for Miyako's new song, interested in what she does with the bass lines. FYI Miyako plays the bass. The first MV I saw, was "Shadowmaker", commercial and all. Blew away all of the reactors!!
BEST ever reaction @1:17 🤣 I am not a fan of headless guitars either. They look weird and it's distracting lol I know it sounds weird but I guess I'm not the only one lol
If you want to try something new, there’s a band called Asterism… a three-piece band from Japan with an incredible guitar playing that I think you would enjoy… I recommend a song called dawn
The live version of Don't Bite The Dust is better than the original video. Here's the link to the live version: th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html I like it a lot, but it's a short, sweet, kind of fluffy good-cheer song, don't know if that is your thing. But maybe you'll like it too.
my first contact with lovebites was the "don´t bite the dust" video, then the "shadowmaker" video. but for first contact I would recommend "holy war" live tokyo 2020 th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html or "raise some hell" from the same concert. th-cam.com/video/zamSQD0JUFk/w-d-xo.html the band is introducing itself. subtitles recommended. thanks for your fine reaction and appreciation for the band.
Headless Guitars inc (B) gets around copyright/trade mark plus a lot tuning gripes ..... but they are so f..king ugly. So do the big Dean V's and Expl's et'al .. but they do sound awesome 😁
Putting the power back in Power Metal!...I'm with you, I'm not into headless guitars and basses. I've played a few and while they played great, I couldn't get past the aesthetic.
To start with, if you mean their catalogue, it'll be Edge of the World live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html. If you want it chronologically, I'd suggest Shadowmaker which is one of their early release although the first one was Don't Bite the dust. I'd recommend the MV version th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html. You also got a live version as well th-cam.com/video/wmAKRiG89Qc/w-d-xo.html.
I think Lovebites'es live videos are truly live. I have not heard any layering. What I think is wrong is some video clips. They sometimes feels like being taken at another time in the performance. Like, in "Holy War" when all three string players do a similar gesture right after each other. And I am not sure about the bass tapping in that song. Can you do that? At that high pitch? Maybe you can. But, other than possible some gimmicks, I think it is as live as it can get.
@@ThunderRooster - it is very common when making live videos to show short sequences here and there, maybe showing the audience or something fun happening. If this thing is not related to the actual music, it might be taken from another time in the concert. There is one thing in Holy War that looks strange. Somewhere there is a sequence where all three string players do a kind of "dance step", one after each other. Maybe that was a part of the performance and was actually done in the performance like that. Perfectly possible, the Lovebite shows are very strongly choreographed. Or, it was a creative clip in post production.
@@danw6048 He has to travel here in Finland. We have wolves Den here, where he must survive for 3 days, among the wolves. All their records are mixed here in Wolves Den. It is called Finnvox Studios.
@@markoviitanen2671 I would love to visit Finland sometime but doubt it will ever happen. So I guess I will never be part of the "official" Wolfpack. I will just have to happy to be in the unofficial Texas Wolfpack. Unfortunately there haven't been real wolves in Texas for over 50 years.
Why not react to their new bassist doing covers like this one: th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html 20 year old Fami is a monster on the bass. It's a really good recruit, she fits perfectly, and it's a service to mankind as she was about to stop playing.
I've ALWAYS hated the look of headless guitars, TBH. And I also think the Headstock on Miyako's Dean V is way too damn big. In both cases it ruins the otherwise lovely lines on the bass and guitar both. Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes the look of headless instruments. Leave the headless stuff for Sleepy Hollow, ya know?
@@nanoscorner6976 idk , but i think this headless bass fits well for Fami, because based on her cover project on her channel. she did on i believe that on her bedroom, which has small space, and moves actively, jumping, dancing, etc, so the shorter bass length (headless) will fit for her action.
What a great comeback from a band right after a long hiatus period, and everyone on the band has leveled up, they're getting better and better.
Fami the new bassist, is a real game changer. She adds a new tone, color, style, energy, and HOPE. This was a new dimension for LOVEBITES.
They came back better than ever. Fami, the new bass player, was shown to be the right pick! They all have upped their game. Love it.

That’s what stands out to me. They are a power house of musicians. Just crazy good.
You completely missed out on SYMPHONY X. That would have filled the gap.
@@TheCyberMantis There are several Symphony X songs I like. I bought some of them on iTunes. Never bought an album of theirs though. Lovebites was the first band whose albums I bought since maybe Manowar or the recent Iron Maiden releases.

The girls will recreate "Judgement Day" in this live performance.
Please continue to LOVEBITES in the future.
Going through their discography chronologically is a great idea. That will really show you their improvement over the years. And they started out really good already.
Oh yeah! This is AWESOME 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💥💥
Shadowmaker , Winds of Transylvania , Set the world on fire , is song you should check out
Great reaction, subbed for your Lovebites journey. Lovebites 2.0 blew me away once again with this track. Can't wait for the album to drop on February 22. I can guarantee the rest of the album will be this good or better. I'm ready to be blown away some more. ❤🔥🤘💯
incase you didnt know Lovebites released a new music video acouple days ago called Stand and Deliver it is incredible you guys should react to it please let me know what you think
In terms of music, Japan is just kicking everyone's ass right now!
Awesome song!
HORNS UP 🤘 these ladies are just go more badass
I love Lovebites, and I love headless guitars. They're great for use while seated at a computer recording or whatnot. Also great while traveling. Use the right tool, to do the job right.
Yeah that makes sense. I’ll have to give one a try.
Lovebites love to play live and they make something epic every time. MV's sometimes not attached to the songs meaning or vibes(i think). Anyway Lovebites is just the best metal band for sure. All members are superb master musicians.👍👍🤘🤘
To answer your question about headless guitars and basses, they never visually appealed to me until I saw Shiren from Unlucky Morpheus playing one of his Strandberg guitars due to his medical condition. Something about Strandbergs just look cool. The same goes for Fami's Bacchus signature bass here. It's a beautiful instrument. That said, I've never played a headless bass or guitar, so it's not something I would buy sight unseen like how my wife bought my Zemaitis MFG24 for me. Doesn't matter how good an instrument looks if I don't like the feel.
You asked about their music videos. Here's the list in order of release:
1. "Don't Bite the Dust"
2. "Shadowmaker"
3. "The Crusade"
4. "Rising"
5. "When Destinies Align"
6. "Golden Destination"
7. "Winds of Transylvania"
8. "Glory to the World"
9. "Nameless Warrior"
10. "Judgement Day"
One thing to note is that there are two videos for "Winds of Transylvania," the original version where it's just the ladies playing and Asami is a vampire and the VLAD LOVE version where it's the same video only it has inserts from an anime called, well, VLAD LOVE. The original version was only released on the A version of the "Glory, Glory to the World" EP and later on the "In the Beginning" compilation. It's cool to watch, but if you see one version, you've pretty much seen both versions.
There first two music videos were "Shadowmaker" and "Don't Bite the Dust". They re-uploaded them without the advertisements that were in the middle of the originals so the dates on the videos are misleading. They were originally posted in 2017.
Shadowmaker: th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html
Don't Bite the Dust: th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html
Enjoyed the reaction. I tried a Steinberger when they first came out back in the '80s. I agree with you, I wasn't a fan. But some people really dig them and that's cool. Fami is endorsed by Bacchus. The headless one is her signature model. If I remember correctly, "Don't Bite the Dust" would be their first music video. It's either that one or "Rising". In any case, both are very early ones before Midori went blonde.
Their first MV was in February of 2017 - Don't Bite the Dust th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html . The second MV was Shadowmaker - later in 2017 th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html. I like your idea of going back to see where they were - compared to where they ARE now. Those 2017 MV's show the Epic Talent was pretty much there - although they have matured from a Really Good young Metal Band to what I truly think will be a Legendary Band sometime in the future. The Talent, in composition, Technical proficiency, Vocal excellence, Stage Presence (with Theatrical touches) is just off the charts. And their ability to pull it off Live is breathtaking.
Here is the Lovebites youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@LOVEBITES_jp/videos If you want to do a chronological deep dive, they are mostly in reverse chron order here--the main exception is "Shadowmaker", which was their second posted MV but was taken down and more recently cleaned up and reposted. So do "Shadowmaker" second, then go back to "Rising." Happy trails, you are in for a lot of face-melting.
Doesn`t get more metal that MIdori; she's literally made of steel now.
I believe that Don't Bite The Dust was their first MV.
Older MVs are "Don't Bite The Dust", "Rising", and "Shadowmaker" from the 2017 era. I agree! The latter also exists without the DVD/concert ads in the middle.
Calling it now: in one of the tracks from the new album, FAMI gets to sing more than just in chorus. Either a song, or a duo with Asami, she will be singing for us; i`m sure of it.

Love your reactions! :D This song is epic! :D BTW there is a new Nanowar of Steel song and video coming out on the 10th of January, that is about a very special winter storm. I think you might like that. :D Have fun and safe travels!
I will have it out that day! Hahaha thank you!
I have a headless bass as I find the action at the nut end is lower and easier to set up than a normal bass.
Interesting. I’ve never had a problem with action on the lower end. But then again I have big hands. I have yet to play a headless bass. I might have to track one down and give it a go.
@@ThunderRooster I have small hands/short arms and I play guitar as well and we swap instruments all the time in my band (I get bored easy and sing as well) and I find the length easier to manage for me but my friend has a Fender Precision and hates my Hohner B2.
@@markhoward2811 oh nice! It would be weird for me then, I have a 6 string bass with a 36” scale haha.
Music by Asami and Mao, mild surprise, Lyrics by Asami no surprise. Intro is Fami their new bassist!! AND she's got her RockStar hairdo!! Haruna is a blond with Midori looking ripped.
The song is definitely Lovebites and a great comeback, loved the intro featuring Fami. Can't wait for Miyako's new song, interested in what she does with the bass lines. FYI Miyako plays the bass.
The first MV I saw, was "Shadowmaker", commercial and all. Blew away all of the reactors!!
It's not blonde, it's a light pink, you can see it better on her Instagram.
'Bravehearted' Bro. Live!
BEST ever reaction @1:17 🤣
I am not a fan of headless guitars either. They look weird and it's distracting lol I know it sounds weird but I guess I'm not the only one lol
Btw the rocking RV could raise a few eyebrows 😏 😂
Hahaha if the rvs a rockin… lol
@@ThunderRooster 😂😂
The drumer is something else
The first video was Don't Bite The Dust. It was written to break Asami into rock: th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html
If you want to try something new, there’s a band called Asterism… a three-piece band from Japan with an incredible guitar playing that I think you would enjoy… I recommend a song called dawn
RV reaction for the win!!! Shake that baby!!
If the RVs a rockin… haha
LOVEBITES RULES!!!
The live version of Don't Bite The Dust is better than the original video. Here's the link to the live version: th-cam.com/video/oHnKGEj1CMc/w-d-xo.html
I like it a lot, but it's a short, sweet, kind of fluffy good-cheer song, don't know if that is your thing. But maybe you'll like it too.
my first contact with lovebites was the "don´t bite the dust" video, then the "shadowmaker" video. but for first contact I would recommend "holy war" live tokyo 2020 th-cam.com/video/bgAxpEpEcno/w-d-xo.html or "raise some hell" from the same concert. th-cam.com/video/zamSQD0JUFk/w-d-xo.html the band is introducing itself. subtitles recommended. thanks for your fine reaction and appreciation for the band.
In terms of musicianship, Lovebites is one of the most talented bands on the planet.
Hearing Fami's Bass is awesome.....she is slapping that bass....
Headless Guitars inc (B) gets around copyright/trade mark plus a lot tuning gripes ..... but they are so f..king ugly. So do the big Dean V's and Expl's et'al .. but they do sound awesome 😁
11/10 😍🇯🇵🤘😎🤯
Putting the power back in Power Metal!...I'm with you, I'm not into headless guitars and basses. I've played a few and while they played great, I couldn't get past the aesthetic.
They look weird to me too. But if everyone starts using them they won't look so weird after a while.
To start with, if you mean their catalogue, it'll be Edge of the World live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo th-cam.com/video/UZjxMjBop7w/w-d-xo.html. If you want it chronologically, I'd suggest Shadowmaker which is one of their early release although the first one was Don't Bite the dust. I'd recommend the MV version th-cam.com/video/Brmoln5Gxus/w-d-xo.html. You also got a live version as well th-cam.com/video/wmAKRiG89Qc/w-d-xo.html.
I think Lovebites'es live videos are truly live. I have not heard any layering. What I think is wrong is some video clips. They sometimes feels like being taken at another time in the performance. Like, in "Holy War" when all three string players do a similar gesture right after each other. And I am not sure about the bass tapping in that song. Can you do that? At that high pitch? Maybe you can. But, other than possible some gimmicks, I think it is as live as it can get.
Yes you can actually. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary on their live songs.
They do use tracks in live songs, but everything that they play, they play for real
The tapping was done in unison each time but the video showed each lady separately. When Miho tapped, both guitars were heard as well.
@@guitarzen5999 - that I think is the correct answer. It was in unison. Miho probably tapped one octave (or two) lower.
@@ThunderRooster - it is very common when making live videos to show short sequences here and there, maybe showing the audience or something fun happening. If this thing is not related to the actual music, it might be taken from another time in the concert. There is one thing in Holy War that looks strange. Somewhere there is a sequence where all three string players do a kind of "dance step", one after each other. Maybe that was a part of the performance and was actually done in the performance like that. Perfectly possible, the Lovebite shows are very strongly choreographed. Or, it was a creative clip in post production.

This dude has not been properly following Lovebites. He is not wolfpack.
But thank you for reacting to this new MV. Glad you liked it. 😐
I may be now! haha But yes, I have only heard 3 songs by them.
How does he earn his Wolfpack card?
@@danw6048 He has to travel here in Finland. We have wolves Den here, where he must survive for 3 days, among the wolves. All their records are mixed here in Wolves Den. It is called Finnvox Studios.
@@markoviitanen2671 I would love to visit Finland sometime but doubt it will ever happen. So I guess I will never be part of the "official" Wolfpack. I will just have to happy to be in the unofficial Texas Wolfpack. Unfortunately there haven't been real wolves in Texas for over 50 years.
@@danw6048 $100 I'll get him in, I know a guy.
Why not react to their new bassist doing covers like this one: th-cam.com/video/Q_UqztwYAOU/w-d-xo.html
20 year old Fami is a monster on the bass. It's a really good recruit, she fits perfectly, and it's a service to mankind as she was about to stop playing.
I am definitely going to do that!
No one talking about Miho😔
Same. Not a fan of a headless bass. It makes me uncomfortable. lol
I've ALWAYS hated the look of headless guitars, TBH. And I also think the Headstock on Miyako's Dean V is way too damn big. In both cases it ruins the otherwise lovely lines on the bass and guitar both. Glad I'm not the only one who dislikes the look of headless instruments. Leave the headless stuff for Sleepy Hollow, ya know?
Dont know what it is, I really dislike headless guitars, but somehow basses look cool af.
@@nanoscorner6976 idk , but i think this headless bass fits well for Fami, because based on her cover project on her channel. she did on i believe that on her bedroom, which has small space, and moves actively, jumping, dancing, etc, so the shorter bass length (headless) will fit for her action.
This is exeption here is playing Fami for me doesn't matter look of the guitar. She will squeez all juice from each one she would be play with.🐺🤘🎸
