Bass Porn

How have I never seen this?

There is a YouTube called channel called Bass vs. Zombie, and the guy does bass covers with tabs, he has one of those he plays on some songs.
I am not 100% sure if it is identical and if it is a B.C. Rich, but it looks similar and IS built by the guy that was the master builder for B.C. Rich, I just don’t remember his name (the master builder for B.C.Rich)

I actually learned a song I covered on that site, Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss.
He also did “Hound Dog”
He does a wide range of songs, its a pretty decent channel.

B.C. Rich has used multiple Split P pick ups on lots of designs, some with 3 split P’s. Both normal and reverse.
I am pretty sure the Ibanez GSR line uses Revers P in its P/J config, and so do some other budget or beginner basses.

And now I am hungry for soup, wonder why.

I love the sound of Danelectro, and I can deal with the Short Horn body. The headstock on a Danelectro looks weird, but for the sound, I can live with it.

Great movie.

I hear it is good for your health to have one of those in your life.

I would love to have one to sit next to my B-4E. Not playing it as much these days, but I still love that bass, and it looks so damn cool, to have the match ing F would be awesome.

Those I can do without. Screams Gibson T-bird, and I don’t like those, they just look umm. Lame IMHO.

I do like the headstock tho, very nice.

I still tiny the Stream is a cross between a Whale and a T-bird, not digging it.

Thats a mighty long list, isn’t it :thinking:

Again, not a fan of most bursts, but that one is done right, and the black hardware helps too.

I can probably do this Danelectro (if thats what it is, looks like a Danelectro headstock) even tho it is somewhat T-birdish. IDK why, its just kind of cool, and if it has the Danelectro sound, it could be a fun toy.
I realized today that Danelectro’s, even the short scales (which are about the same as standard scale) are just the bridge and pick ups pushed up the body a bit with closer fret spacing too, AND the neck is 1.65 at the nut, so they are not little SS basses with tiny thin necks like I thought they would be by looking at them.

IDK, but I liked that about Schecter, kind of a FU to Gibson. We will take your classic style and flip it, and there is nothing you can do about it. LOL

Absolutely love the look of these :slight_smile:

Probably sound awesome too. The switch is a series/parallel/split coil for the MM pup.

Nice pickguard. It’s a very “early SciFi” aesthetic.

That may be the coolest bass I have ever seen… Too bad it’s only a five and not an eight string :grin:

Looks cool, but the intonation just looks off, I know, lookaing at the wrong things

Oh that reeks of some marketer wanting the shot to emphasize the curve of the bass.

One of the several high end places here that makes Fender style basses really, really well. Very high quality instruments.

You might want to check out the J-Note for a 6 :slight_smile:
