Eb isn't ugly, just really generic.
it´s for metal players
I would still take an EB over those old ones. Not sure why he likes the old models so much.
@@Jackal_Blitz the post 2014 EBs did look super generic. with gibsons, like with fenders,people expect them o have an "old-school" vibe. I have no idea why he dislikes the Victory tho. that one looks just tasty af.
Denis Ferreira no
What time is the eb at
Can someone have a wrong opinion?
The masses: No
Me: YES
Hahahahaha yes! Fuck it up!
As an owner of both a Bongo and a Flying V, I enjoy these videos :D
The Flying V Bass is beatiful, also the Bongo. Both are incredible basses. 👌🏻👌🏻
Ugly choice basses, but those Bongos sound amazing.
I don't know if I have ever played a bass that plays as well as a Bongo 6. I've never even played a 4 string Bongo, but if the 6 string plays that well I can only imagine!
Bongo is on my shortlist for dream basses!
10:29 coversolutions left the chat
Hah!
It's good bass tho
agung andy agreed, I’d love to have one
Doesn't he use a Cort?
When you brought up the SG Bass, I got oddly defensive like, “Don’t...you...ffuu...oh, ok. Ew, yeah, Les Paul Bass is ugly!”
If he had dared to shit talk the thunderbird... dude...
I played a Les Paul bass a little back in the day. It was a short scale and heavy as an effin anvil!
Ha! Yes, I've said aloud "I need that V Bass Now." Absolutely.
Yeah, me too! Its just practically impossible to find one outside the US.
Wayke not very easy to find them in the US either
I can’t find any
i don’t know. i mean, i do but-
why the f does anyone ever feel the urge to play a v shaped anything, at all???!
music and bad guitar shapes are characteristically very difficult to even get to make a “venn” diagram with 😕
V-shaped bass guitars are very rare. I was lucky to buy the 2011 Gibson at the time. Every now and then a Greco V Bass from the 1970s or a Burny shows up on Ebay.
"Have you ever wanted a really weird-shaped spoon?" That made me laugh.
Tools of the trade is a Carcass reference. It’s a signature bass
Yeah the Jeff Walker Signature, actually is not bad in terms of shape, but I don't know how it actually sounds, in my honest opinion... Carcass is a good band as well, don't you think?
You comment about ugly basses. But you wear that shirt!
Hold on I am a fan of that Gibson EB that explorer Flying V bass. But most of these I can agree with
Explorer style basses are the coolest. Especially the Alembic Exploiters.
The hate towards Jackson just hurts me. That stuff is iconic, I love the knife-style headstock. And the shark tooth fret inlays are dope, just like a rickenbacker
I’m a bc rich player and I find this offensive
boo hoo hoo
buckeye slim * cries in soy *
@@bedofroachesofficial4958 actually that was you crying......hear laughter?.....thats me.....
buckeye slim how do I respond to that?
@@bedofroachesofficial4958 idk....i didnt get what you meant with either of your posts.....so tell me about bc rich basses.......none of those in my bass stash lol
The inlays on the Fernandes Tried and true Mastubater are from the Carcass "Tools of the Trade" circular album logo as the bass is a sig model for Jeff Walker, the website description reads like an inside joke if you don't know that though.
I thought that was the carcass bass
@@icedvengence3845 it is, I just prefer calling it that :)
I see what you did there...you wore an ugly shirt for an ugly bass episode! Good job!
Srsly. Nobody is Talking about the Hopper Shirt? Awesome Pat ❤️❤️❤️
Damn it!! You bet me to it!! 😀
You can slag off my bass choices, I'll still watch. It's ok.
Hahahahah at least you have a sense of humor though dude, cheers!
Patrick: The Jackson is ugly.
Me:
... That’s literally my bass 😐
Couple grand for a Fodera LOL
At that price, everyone would have one!
I aggree so much for the Greco Les Paul... they did so much better that Gibson!
The Les Paul bass is like one of those cursed images that looks almost correct, but has one big thing that throws it off.
Rippers and Grabbers apparently sold poorly
Probably not as poor as their current bass sales. :)
They were very cool basses back in the day; a very nice alternative to Fenders.....
Those 2 always looked fat to me
i cant play a single instrument but every thing this guy shows is gorgeous and makes me wanna play it
Gibs Victory looks pretty cool. But that slanted pickups makes it really weird.
What is your opinion on Cliffs iconic bass?
Are you talking about his Alembic Spoiler or the Aria Pro?
they are brilliant basses. those old arias pro 2's are well made and sought after. i have the bolt on version of cliff burton aria bass, actually it's same model bass as bill gould from faith no more played but it looks like a combo of both basses those guys played.
I'm sure this was said, but the Fernandes Triturador - the "Tools of the Trade" inlays are literally the matching Tools Of The Trade graphics from the amazing Carcass EP of the same name. It really wouldn't appeal to a non-Carcass fanatic... maybe.....
The fernandes nomad looks like a brontosaurus and not in bad way
9:09 "we want the inlays to represent the tools of the trade of the bass"
THEN WHY IS THERE A FUCKING GUN
For me the explorer basses aren't ugly at all, I own one from dean and it the most ergonomic shape ever, yeah some explorer shape are ugly like the yellowish one you put on your video
But the classical shape like the first one is perfect
There no 5 string explorer bass on the market 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Maybe one of these is like a surprise relationship, with someone who wouldn't get much appreciation on the looks front but will keep you happy and endlessly entertained in bed. Undercover bass with "magic" tones for discreet studio use only!
Dressed for the topic :D that shirt... even my MM Bongo looks better :P
Love the Stranger Things shirt
So wearing that shirt is... irony?
I literally threw up when I saw the Spector 🤮🤮🤮
I LOVE Spector but you and I are in total agreement
Specters body horns remind me of the fingers from the "hand" bad guys from Spy Kids. lol
3:07 "has anyone said I really need that v bass?" I did and now I own 2 of them and a Greco V
V bases always looked really cool to me, especially the ones dunable makes.
Typical bass players...worry more how cool the bass looks than how to play the root of the chords.
ALL SUPER UGLY....Which one has a decent tone tho?
Love that you have one of the Kramer DMZ basses in here, but you should totally dive deeper into their aluminum neck offerings.
The Duke, XKB -10, XL-8, and Vanguard basses are things of hideous legend.
Side note. I share your love of that ugly headstock. I used to own a 4001 and miss it. She had the most ridiculous sustain!
Ever since i heard about the Kramer headstock's i started seeking one out.
I already own a 90s kramer P Bass. But man... I want one of those headstock's. Im a sucker for unique things. And that is top of the list
I like the Gibson Victory. I think it looks awesome.
I kinda like the gibson flying v bass
Do the best looking basses?!
Just bought a Vox Mk 5 a few weeks ago, just because of my love for Ian Curtis. Gigged with it and got plenty of compliments. So lucky me I guess!
Douglas Flores nice I love joy division first song I learned on bass was Isolation
2 years later but I'm here to say that I am a person that falls into the category of "I neeeeed that Flying V bass", and found a brand new Epiphone Flying V bass on Thomann at the time. We do exist lol
We sure do exist, I own 2 2011 Flying V Basses and a 1973 Greco FVB Bass. They are both cherry.
i love the Les Paul bass and i don’t know why lol
Sorry, but the Les Paul Bass looks cool
Who needs a V-bass?
Murdoc enters the chat
As a bassist who loves Explorer shaped basses, awesome video, I understand if it’s not your taste.
Sorry for this one but I could never take advise on style from someone that would own and wear that shirt.
God, I HATE the way the Washburn Taurus looks. Finally someone pointed it out.
Merc C9 I like it, because the person that got me into bass (Cover Solutions) has one of those basses
Gibson doesn't care about basses because they don't care about anything anymore. I have no idea what they're doing these days.
wanna see something truly atrocious?
if you have a jazz bass, have it in an upright position on the guitar stand and take a full body picture WITH YOUR FRONT FACING phone camera...looks like a salvador dali painting
I say I have to go out and get an Explorer all day everyday. I freaking love Explorer and Explorer style basses. My favorite shape.
I'm on of many people that would say I need that now to the v body
the flying v is sexy!
“Get off my lawn” - P-Hunter
Hahahahahaha!
IMO the Gibson eb look cool :(
....but i wont buy it becoz gibson suck >:D
I’d love to see you with a guest that plays the Bongo and tell us why they like it. I love Ernie ball, but really Stingray is the only bass they should make. Why would someone want the Bongo over a Stingray 5 double HH?
I'm having a custom fan fret Explorer style bass being built as we speak. Not all Explorer basses look good, but some of them are awesome.
You shot your credibility to shit when you:
1) called Tobias’ ugly.
2) mentioned spending a “couple grand” on a Fedora.
You’d be lucky to smell a Fedora for $2k.
all basses neeed looove
I've played a Victory Standard for 42 years. I've gone through many basses over the years but I'll never get rid of this Gibson.
I do like the Explorer style bass, but the Alembic brand, John Entwistle version. Which certainly has a lot more going on visually.
FODERA's are the dorkiest looking things around.
nobody with a shirt like that should be arguing aesthetics
The original Vox Delta Bass IV may look a bit better then the modern one you featured. Comes with more knobs and on-board active electronics like a tuner, distortion, bass boost and treble boost so aesthetically, the body looks less empty compared to the modern interpretation.
The EB is very good looking ... just the wrong headstock. I've no idea why you think it's ugly. It's perfectly ok. Far nicer looking than a 4001.
THE YAMAHA SAMURAI BASS...I GOT ONE...THE 1967 NIPPON GAKKI MODEL....UGLY AS HELL, BUT PLAYS GR8....
Jesus Christ on that Fernandez Trituador bass,
Cool on that Gibson Explorer Bass,
Steinburger Bass, No thanks,
Fernandez Revelle Bass, no thanks,
Kramer DMZ-4000 Bass, Very cool.
Spector CK-4 Bass, METAL! XD
(All of those in my opinion, P.S: I'd rather play Warwick or Ibanez than Fernandez)
Here's the thing. Basses are ugly. I never understood why guitars can look cool but companies think basses need to look all stretched and bulbous and liquidy. They just always look lame to me. And you wonder why Noone wants to be tge bassist.
I didn’t see it mentioned in the comments I’m pretty sure the Fernandez Triturador is a Jeff Walker (Carcass) signature bass and Tools of the Trade was an EP of theirs from 1992 - the tools on the fret markers are medical tools from the album artwork
Meh...a friend of mine has a TOTAL opposite level of taste than mine. The basses he thinks are cool I think are freakin' hideous...
...to each their own. There are many of these that I don't like but its simple enough not to buy them. I will say-if a bass can get a tone that I like...NOTHING else matters in the studio-I could give a rat's ass how it looks if it plays well and gives me the tone I want.
I have the Gibson EB 4 Bass and it is one of the best basses I ever played. It is well build and very good looking. The EB 2014 is also very good. All other Gibson Basses are ugly basses...
the pointy basses have a place in metal, otherwise they are ugly and cringy, the first fernandez sans the inlays was ok, (the rest really ugly) I like the taurus, but, lets clear the elephant in the room, THE GRABBER IS FUGLY AS HELL
Basses seem like such an after-thought to Gibson. I've often believed that Gibson's design philosophy is that basses are just guitars with thicker strings.
In my opinion, ALL Gibson basses are ugly (with the exception of the Thunderbird, and maybe the EB-3), and most of them sound like wooly, muddy, shite. I don't know how they do it. I used to own an Epiphone Classic IV Pro Thunderbird (don't you just love those succinct guitar names?), which were built to the same specs as the USA T-Bird, and even came stock with the same USA pickups, and it sounded light-years better than its Gibson counterpart. Before I bought the Epi, I A/B'd it against Gibson T-Birds constantly, and the Gibson always sounded like a muffled fart when compared to the Classic IV Pro (for more than double the money). Whatever they were doing in that Indonesian factory, they should have been doing it in Nashville... The only reason I got rid of that bass was because playing a Thunderbird is like wearing a frickin' aircraft carrier across your chest, and the end of the headstock is in another zip code. I got tired of whacking it into mic stands (and other band members), and it didn't balance well in two different directions.
Gibson should just stick to making guitars. They're never going to capture more than a slim fraction of the bass market, and what they do produce is just... lazy. From design to finished product. It's like they're just going through the motions, just to have SOMETHING to offer.
Dude I'm 53 and I've been playing guitar longer than you've been alive ....but I was a late bloomer I learned my first chord when I was 18 years old, and now about a year ago I started to fall in love with the bass, didn't give up on the guitar but play a lotta bass now i'm still freaking out over a vid you did when you said you were 28 like "O man I'm getting so old." ... Aaaaahhhhhh what I wouldn't give to be 40.
I agree more with this video. But I think all gibson basses, except for the thunderbird are ugly. Playable? Absolutely. But ugly. The fernandes revelle I enjoy. The kiesel basses are all hideous. Carvin had one or 2 that weren't bad but i like the sharper inline headstock. Esepcially the jackson bass that was shown. Cheers man.
What really really really gets me is that these so called top of the line guitar makers seem to have nothing in the design dept when it comes to basses. A les Paul bass ? , NO. An SG bass ? NO.
Those designs are for electric guitars, not basses.
As far as I can see these companies don't give a shit about bassists. Oh yeah they want your money but don't want to put any effort into designing something truly for the bass player.
Dude, it's not taht you think "X-bass is ugly , Or y-bass is not" that get's peopel's fethers ruffled when you don't like an instrument they love. it's they way you communicate that dislike . putting the isnturment down saying it's gross or what ever insult you usde for a particular model. sure there's basses i think look nasty in all thr wrong ways , but if just one musican can be found that likes something then it's a valid bass , especially if it sounds good too. you could judt say "i don't like it" explain why, then move on. you don't have to go "ewe gross " and then do a series of contorted and exagerated gross faces at it.
Fodera are ugly basses and they cost alot, why? .. You always see people play these that have a bad case of note diarrhea. I guess when you play "expensive" you gotta have an expensive bass. I'll stick with my two Fender Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Basses and my Cort Gene Simmons Punisher. I play loud and straight forward, and that's what they are made for.
How about a video on ugly shirts? Shouldn't be to difficult. 😁😉
On "not ugly' basses, check the white colored Godin Z1 from the late '80s. One to fall in love with. However, am I allowed to judge what's 'not ugly'? 🤔
Dude, you're wearing a hideous shirt...yet you're whining about a few questionable bass guitar designs...
I agree with pretty much everything you said, except the Kiesels. I liked most of the Kiesels you said were ugly, and disliked the ones you liked. Rad, my dude.
this is sad that Gibson doesn't care about basses. the last Gibson Les Paul Tribute Jr. (I think) is pretty cool but if you want to buy a Gibson EB-2 or EB-0 you'll have to :
- buy an old Gibson (who costs 2000 -> 5000$)
- try to find a Japanese copy of these basses (wich is really rare now)
Gibson Grapper and Ripper basses, they are REALLY UGLY and boring at same time. If it's possible. Maybe that is reason why I don't see them usually..
some of the opinions coming outta u'r mouth while choosing to wear that shirt....talk about "just doesn't sit right, just don't look good!" gimmie a fucking break, and also, the Ibanez Xiphos is such a rad guitar! like c'mon dude . the FFDP bass does look a litttle wacky, but brass knuckles look more rock n roll than that god damn shirt. arg, fuckin hell
I agree on some, I like the gibbo eb3, ripper and grabber and the stienberger ( the gibbo is hideous) but I like the Jackson and kiesels. The Tobias isn't bad like the grecco but Generally hate the l.p. shape.
Hates on fodera, explore, the V, abd the jackson. Icon company's and great basses. Are you even a bass player. Lol. Foderas are amazing. Go play one.
I was forced to record Metal with a Steinberger - OMG, what a nightmare. The bass was so uncomfortable! It sounded great on record, but man it was a pain in the ass to have to play a fast, complex bassline on. No, just - no.
there is one guy who said they needed a V Bass, the guy from Butthole Surfers, Jeff Pinkus!
he now uses all aluminium Flying V Basses.
also Lou Barlow from Dinosaur Jr and Justin Chancellor both have V Basses.
What's your opinion of the Epiphone Embassy V vs the Gibson EB (similar but not the same)? I picked one up in wood-grain finish and I've gotten a lot of good comments (and a lot of folks love borrowing it to play). It's a bit heavy, but it has got a great lower register and sustains.
I owned and played 2 victory artist basses for many years . I bought my first one prior to knowing how to play at all due to the fact I thought it looked so cool . Oh , and it was outfitted with Moog electronics, so that was a plus .
I mostly agreed with you in the last video. But this time, all your opinions became invalid when you defended headless basses. They're all terrible and pointless. I still clicked like, though, because why not.
I have an 2008 Epiphone Les Paul bass that I really like. I’ve got the transparent black finish. I think it looks better than the red that was offered. It kinda is one of those designs that you either like it or you don’t. What about those really small Ashbory basses with the silicone strings? Didn’t Fender put those out?? I find those to be nauseating.
Hahahaha ... innovative? Almost all of them are the same thing Leo Fender designed in the 50's but a different shape. There's only been three innovators in electric bass since then: Steinberger, Kubicki and Stonefield.
The les Paul basses were just too much like a 6 string guitar, whereas fender precision just say's BASS! its styling etc. The design is either just lazy or they tried some unified gibson style branding for bass n guitar. Not for me, even when i had no bass of any significance. It was a westone but it looked and felt like a bass and there i believe its potential buyers lay, guitarists who ended up getting put on bass but wanted the look?
I had a Washburn T24 for a few years. The horn is for sure a fucking trip, but it played wonderfully and after a while you forget you're playing with Gumby's knob.
Oh wow. If i'm not mistaken, that FFDP sig bass used to be a T-bird inspired shape until I saw it was discontinued. So I'm guessing that's the updated version? Either way... Fucking yikes!
Here from the future, Blame all the hipster prog zoomer kids for making the goofiest guitars / bass shapes with the most strings the typical norm now 🙂 it’s all weird and wrong imo. None of them look good
I’m a spector player, and that Spector is just horrible, that’s bad taste
