What are those strings? It sounds great, I just got a 6 string fretless and my High C sounds dead, it comes with flats

@BassCave7 Ай бұрын

Hi Erin, those are Fodera steel round wounds, light medium. I went all out 😊 flat wounds are a bit old fashioned and are only if you never want to hit a high note. If I have the choice again, I go for nickel. They glide and slide smoother and are a bit gentler.

The thing i would go ask to the team were to send the bass unfinished. Their glossy poly finish is horrible and i hate coated neck. i would do some oil finish and wax by myself for really better result in terms of feel and look. it's easy and anyone can do it.

About 8 years ago I did the exact same thing......BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!! I wanted a Left handed 4-strings Fretless bass. When it arrived, it looked good, but played really bad (cheap on everything) ....you get what you pay for. In the end, since I already had a Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 , I went for the fretless version, I've been happy since then.

So the bass was made by a woodworker without luthier knowledge? I't s bad enough having to updgrade pickups etc on low and mid cost basses. But at least those basses are constructed corectly. What I am seeing on Aliexpress bass reviews are super wide necks. I prefer an original P bass neck over the J bass neck width. I have an American Standard Fender active 5 string J bass. It seems a bit wide compared ro my other 5 string basses. I also saw on other reviews that some AliExpress basses pickup and string centering over the pick up having to be altered causing the necks to look even wider.

@BassCave7 2 ай бұрын

I would say a regular woodworker could not do this kind of work. It is not perfect, but it is really good where it matters, neck playability, neck angle, neck stability. I have one AliExpress Bass that is very much beyond saving anything. It is just gathering dust. This can happen too.

WHY ??? Why are people continually making videos to promote, intentionally or unintentionally, these rip-off fakes? It would be acceptable IF they didn’t put the brand name or logo on the headstock. If someone tried to sell you a fake Rolex with the Rolex name on it, you would call that an attempted rip-off.

@BassCave7 3 ай бұрын

I thought about this long and hard, because I also would not buy a knock off Rolex. 1. You can have them customized, which works... Most of the time. 2. The value for money is great, once you fixed them up they are actually great instruments. 3. The big volume brands produce in Asia anyway. I think it's good the whole purchase price goes there, rather big corporations keeping all the margins. But you are right, the shape of body and head are ripped off, I won't buy them again.

@michaelanthony9068 3 ай бұрын

@@BassCave7 I really appreciate your intelligently conveyed opinions. I just really hope these instruments don’t cause problems in the future when they’re resold. Some folks might be tempted to take advantage of a person who is unaware of these copies. Plus I worry about the sales of these instruments undermining the economics of small but very important American companies, and also undermining the American economy, however slightly. I wonder how many more industries in the US have this same issue. It could all add up to a real mess. Let’s also encourage each other to record our own REAL music ! Where’s the satisfaction in using these chord packs or whatever you call these AI produced keyboard and bass generating software? Yes, I use drum software, but I have been teaching myself enough keys to play the piano/synth parts. So 3 cheers for all of us real artists !!!

Took a chance on this particular model, Rene. You also made it sound like 1 million bucks to use American alanguage. Possibly, if I had them disposable moolah, I would have the personnel at the successor to Carvin, Kiesel, build me a model along the specifications of this particular bass. Only, I would have it built headless and with an adapter at the top end so I could use my strings of choice. Furthermore, I would tune the bottom six strings in accordance with standard guitar tuning, not E-A-D-G-C-F.

Hey nice bass, sounds great. Looks good for practicing modes all the way up the neck. Anyway that's the reason I'm building a small scale seven string. An eleven string from the low F# would be progressive for practicing. I have an Ibanez seven string converted into a five with tuning F#BEAD. That spacious spacing is close to 3/4 of an inch! And someday I'll get some advice on what pickups to install. An acoustic resonator five string with this spacious space and neck profile perhaps. I'm sawing some silver maple in back for future projects.

@andredelemosfreixo1975 5 ай бұрын

Hi! The instrument you own looks very much as a De Oliveira bass, a small Brazilian basses company from Natal, capital of the Northeast state of Rio Grande do Norte. The 12th fret logo looks very much like the logo they use on their instruments. They have a KZbin official channel (Portuguese only, I'm afraid). If you feel like it, check them out. Cheers!

@BassCave7 5 ай бұрын

Ouh you are right, I already found out a while back. I was really disappointed because the bass did not look like a knock off like they usually have on AliExpress. They had a brand name "Flyoung" so I thought it was original. Sadly still a copy, I will buy them no more. Admittedly, the two basses I have, 6 string, 6 string fretless are really tops, play well, sound great. The electronics were completely disfunctional, butbeasy to replace.
