Just bought one. Perfect little bass. The Chinese do make beautifull instruments like my one. Love it.

What a superb review... brilliantly researched and the pick up adjustment and flatwound string recommendations round the review off perfectly.

Parametric arch? Boosting the lows and high would be a scooped mid.

As soon as he said CHINESE, its a big no to filthy communist zerox copying machines!!!👌

Is this the American made model??

I found this review to be everything a great review should be. You hit every feature with a balanced explanation of the capabilities and limitations where notable. Will look forward to your other reviews. I play in many different situations and cover a wide range of music so bi-amping and sound shaping are key whether at the amp(s) or on the floor..

Having started out with 130W into 2×10 in the 90s, it was marginal in a rock band context - no headroom. I found 300W much more reliable. In theory, 130 to 300W (or 280W) is only about 4dB, you can look at it as 3dB plus headroom

im looking at a markbass bass, but its not affordable. Its $1799 and i cant figure out why its that much? can someone help me out? thanks

Excellent demo

I've got a "standard" violin bass but I have never really liked the narrow string spacing at the bridge. This Shorty with its P Bass style bridge looks to have much wider string spacing so that makes me very interested.

Can you use it live in a bar for example?

I bought the standard 200w Gnome as a quiet practice amp....not so quiet..lol...i'm using the Gnome with an 8ohm 12" Ashdown bass cab, 130w, a tiny bit quieter...i use a Warwick, WA300 class A solid state bass amp head with Ashdown cabs live, when i can get to use them,their really well built, fantastic sounding amps that last years & can take a pounding playing live...the little Gnome is solid built & the best of similar style 200w class D tiny amps made by other bass amp makers... the big 1 is 280w bud not 300w but sounds just as loud....fantastic for the price, good review bud...

Killer bass!! Even though it looks like humbuckers it still sounds like a jazz bass in a way!!

I know this was a long time ago, but what amp was this being p;layed through?

I want to hear it.

They just sound thin to me. and lacking in character.

I just bought this off Amazon for exactly $499.00 American dollars with I believe the EU price is $355Pounds. It has a few rough edges but I really enjoy it and am amazed at all the sounds I can get out of it. Nick Donvito. Camillus, New York

no vox ac,,, huh

Got tapewound strings on mine. Perfect mellow.

I'm getting the 5-string version!!!! It's Andrew Gouche(pronounced Goo-shay).

Hi, does it has a passive switch? I just got mine but I can't pull/push the volume knob. Thanks.

Looks like a cb radio. Nada

Very good explanation!

Sir, you could be a fantastic preacher! Seriously!

I love orange amps but I'm not sure who this bass is for. You can get infinitely better basses from Squier for the same money. They should have built these with better electronics and hardware and priced them accordingly. It's not like beginners are rushing out to get this anyway.

There's nothing fantastic about those very low quality tuning machines, but they will fit slightly better Grover machines. The electronics are also cheap. small body pots, generic Chinese pickup. The worst part is that this bass is a serious neck-diver. I've had two of these, and there are things I like: nice fretwork with binding, not too heavy, easy to modify and it looks cool. If they had made it a short scale, it would be even better, and maybe not neck dive as readily.

superb demo.

Great little bass for the money and much more appealing than the more modern looking Shorty it’s replacing.

Excellent review, cheers

Can this amp be used for an acoustic bass?

I see a lot of bassists changing the switch panel on the Ignition. They recommend Höfner Switchpanel HA2B-PC. Will this really change anything ?

What size strings does it take if I want to use flat wounds

That bass has a bad case of indigestion

Isn't basswood pronounced the same as bass wood?

Thanks bloody Englishman 👍

Oh, constructed in the genocidal dictatorship of Communist China, you don’t say.

Ö. It's ö. 😀 Sounds quite muddy to me, even for a violin bass...

so if i have a rick-o-sound splitter i can run neck pu into clean and bridge into dirty with a single output going to one amp?

how about action on this guitar? There is a complain on tho mann that is high and cannot be lowered on stock bridge? Anyone can confirm or deny?

This bass sounds really good - the review is excellent and nicely in depth. Just one question - are the pickups noiseless/hum free?

Hello, Can you tell me if the bass has neck dive when using a strap?

In series mode with the mid notch engaged it sounds like the heavens opened up and bestowed upon humanity the sweetest bass tone I've ever heard.

Well, that's as good a review as I've ever seen. Thank you.

Does the bass work in passive mode even when the battery is dead or when there is no battery put in?

You forgot to mention the string spacing at the bridge is nice and wide and playable fingerstyle unlike most other 5 string basses!

Sure would have been nice to hear how it sounds instead of hearing your 8 minutes and 40 seconds of blah, blah, blah... pointless waste of space

Great video and playing Kev! Bravo 🙂
