The settings of the bass guitars are player’s choice in this moment.
We do not want to compare the quality of the instruments. They are all wonderful. 🙂

I’d be curious to know what landmark/famous songs were recorded with a 7 string bass.
I did’nt even know about this company before but the Conklin wins,no soubt about it.
I wish they would made this model with 5 or 6 strings, 7 are wayyyyy too much for gigs 🙁
Not a good demonstration of an Alembic. Alembics played flat are meant to be neutral. In the proper hand, this bass has more tonal variety than all these others. I’m not saying BETTER, just more. Flea recorded “One Hot Minute” on an Alembic Epic.
This dude looks like Rumblin Man
Scott devine LICKS
Warwick, then Spector sound the best, overall! Though I do like the Ernie Balls, as well. Only I love the Sterling USA better than the Stingray with its ceramic pickups and smaller body.
I have an Alembic Epic and a Warwick thumb NT5. Both are great basses. Totally different. The Alembic has a unique tone that is instantly recognizable. Only other bass I can think of where I can def. recognize it is a Fodera.
Awesome video! Thank you for demoing all of those basses!
I had to lol on that Hohner fretless. xD Well done though mate. I’m happy I’m a warwick man after seeing this. I just wish you coulda shown the glory of a Thumb.

old strings
The warwicks are the stand out for me. As usual. The hohner has a very nice tone too.
But alot of these other bass guitars have a bit to much of an electronic vibe for me at the moment.
I much prefer a Mike Lull pj5 or a Maton B.250 or something with a bit more warmth.
I was thinking about getting a Spector rebop5. this made it official!
hey guys! I am looking at buying either a ibanez sr755, a schecter stiletto custom five string or a spector legend 5 with a neck through. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
most basses reviewed have bad strings on them make them sound really awful, not good for marketing LOL

Here are some more basses.

I would like to have heard a Lakland in the mix.
The custom 5 sounds best to my ears.
Fender, hands down
Some ugly basses in that bunch
gosh that Warwick has some nice mids and bass tones
you have a lot of toys my friend
I have a jaxville demon bass
cut your nails…
Conklin!!
Good video. If I was a betting man i’d say at least half of those basses are China copies. Even basses made in Japan are being copied now,like the paisley telecaster/precision style bass. Nice video anyways.
