neither ... I'm average asian size .. and the bass is that much different than any of the split-coil precisions . could be the angle of the camera that makes the body looking a bit short

@@tree-style Ok it has to be cam angle it looked small. But guys like Greg Koch make a 335 look like toys so I had to ask because I want one.

@@chandoll_0219 I have another video with the same bass in flat wound. Check it out when you have a chance.

close enough I'd say .. these Stingray Specials nailed that 'Stingray' thing in a refined way and they're very consistent ... I believe (like 70% sure) they move the bridge pickup position on the HH models to the identical to where the single H sits .. they used to be offed by a bit that I'm pretty sure ... in reality, the output impedance will never be the same because of the extra wires and pu, and also the extra magnetic field on the neck PU will more or less affect the vibration .. I don't believe they'll be identical to the Single H model but close enough .. and the HH does offer alot more usable sounds . If I'm really after a Stingray sound, the single H would do. those are wild and has its magic .. if it's your only bass, and you're planning to do different style of music then the HH can cover more ..

has been a while .. it should be the MTD brand stainless steel if I remember correctly ..

@@tree-style thanks👍🏿

It's called Slap It by Tony Oppenheim

hey .. sorry . . it's been a while and I don't recall which EMGs they are ..

@@tree-style Thanks for the response, man! My guess is that they're TW's, since the label looks to be red. Looking to buy an euro5 and I can't decide between DC's and TW's. Awesome chanel, keep up the good work! :D

yup ... parallel all the way

3擋線圈全開的聲音也只有HH款才有

black limba .. there's a link in the description with more written thoughts and photos

It was sold to a local guy here in Toronto, then he quickly flipped it afterward I believe ..

there's a link in the description with some more written info about the 2 pickups

Whoops, I missed that. Thanks. I have the Dimarzio 60s P too and I like the unique punch and sensitivity, combined with the classicness of it.

kudo to all the modern touches they put into these builds. It took them long enough to roll out something in this vintage spec, in such elegant way with all the fine details ..

I agree! True, they really are enhanced vintage styled pickups, as you would expect from Dimarzio. Fantastic and probably underrated pickups!

yeah .. that extended fingerboard is classy ... to me that's Rob's signature ... Mouse is overall dark, mb-2 is overall bright .. and deep 4/5 is in-between with the most acoustical sounding ... love them all ..

Well, they do give you a gig bag with a $3k instrument….there’s that.

please check the link in the description

yeah ... these are the best of both new/old school ... the overall tone range are alot more usable than the classic lines ..

I’d say save up for a used one. Many of the ebmm ray’s from the 90s, early 2000 are really nice and you can often find them at a deal. I personally like the heavy ones. Imo, ebmm makes the best mm style basses but their parts are proprietary and not available to the public. It’s also the overall build of the whole package that makes them famous

thank you .. and congrats with your coming new instrument ..

It's a Sadowsky NYC

Thank you for your kind words, glad this is helpful.

i don't believe so ... mine came straight from Jimmy

@@tree-style Oh ok cool how are you liking it ?

@@BassSouthwest well, I gave up on finding an old fender jazz and went with the next best thing out there. And was blown away by Jimmy’s work .. really full/bold sounding, very delicate and sweet.

Thanks for the reply bass looks great old Fenders are a huge conversation topic @@tree-style

in some cases it may not be the next best thing out there

Yeah .. don’t think I’m gonna afford an old jazz(at least not without trying), went with the next best I can possibly get and Jimmy did it again .. strings are zingggy new still ….

daddario half round string

@@tree-styleWow, thanks! I’ve been wanting to try a set for a while now. Thanks for responding

round, light gauge nickel by black diamond i believe

Noble has 2 tubes, one for xlr and the other one for the 1/4" output; thru port on the reddi is just a y split of the input signal that often goes to the amp for stage monitoring ..

$3k is actually reasonable for today’s standard. Rob’s basses are pretty magical.

depends on what regular brand means ... but in general i'd say none .. it has a unique upright sounding quality in terms on its hollowness and thumpy-ness ...

@@tree-style oh like does a hofner viola sound similar to it in any way? This is my dream bass and was wondering if I could buy a budget one that has a similar sound until I have the money to buy the contra.

@@albertjosephavenido603 not really ... the contra 5 has a more defined upper mid ping, overall sound is more well controlled than the hofner. i'd go with something that has ebony fingerboard .. hopefully has semi hollow or hollow body to archive a similar sound ..

@@tree-style Thank you so much! This is really helpful.

i believe mine is the early 2000 ones

actually .. i think you are right ... I was doing some lookup on internet .. mine should be the 2010/2011 model .. it says MIJ and serial starts with letter U

@@tree-style it really sounds good.. I love the tone from it.(sounds exactly like Marcus' ). what's your setup? Are you going directly to your audio interface or from the bass to an amp head/speaker cabinet then to the audio interface..

@@joshmcdzz6925 bass into Bergantino bamp, all setting flat, no processing DI line out there into my RME ufx for monitoring, then have a line out there into Apogee Jam 96k into iPhone, using the built in camera app.

tension wise they're on par ... they sound and responses differently

hey, it has a meaty neck, more like a pbass ... not necessary a fast/slim neck, but feel great and easy to play

@@tree-style thank you, appreciate your response. about to pull the trigger on the same bass you have on this video.

mine was about 8-9years old, and was played extensively .. i can still set it up easily with low action . there's a link in the description with some thoughts/ comments ..

my first ebmm was a bongo 4hs .. then having ebmm in/out multiple times throughout the past 20years and still think of my first bongo occasionally ..
