Thank you Gregor ands Ilja for the video, we really appreciate it! We are in the process of completely updating our bass configurators and they will be live in a few days, the Headless configurator is already up and running, for those interested in checking our work. Feel free to reach out to us and we can provide more info about our basses and photos of our existing bass builds!

@aviatorcustomguitars7628 What is the ball park price for the Bass on the video?

[@aviatorcustomguitars7628]

@@cags12 this particular one would be around 4k Euro. We are preparing a semi-custom spec very similar to this one which would be around 3 - 3,3k before tax

[@RaiderClarke312]

Like to see Headless Model......

[@cags12]

@@aviatorcustomguitars7628 thanks, I was hoping it was more affordable but I understand you are a custom shop

[@p.fabiano223]

This is a thing that I notice is missed from MANY fan fret bass builders: Using a zero fret OR brass nut. Why is that? Also: this model has a great body shape. Elongating the upper horn slightly (1 or 2 cm longer) while deepening the lower cut to access the high register better (1 or 2 cm deeper) would make it perfect. Smoothing the fretboard ancgles AND frets edges makes A LOT of difference in the playability of 6 string basses ( for luthiers it takes 4x times longer to process the frets tho) All this with the option of a headless design would make one hell of a base for an instrument.

[@nonombre7159]

$3600 for a 4 string isn't what I would call "affordable".

[@IljaJohnLappin]

It was helluva fun with this one 💀🤘🔥! What a cool bass!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

That is a visually stunning 6 for sure. the fretboard looks amazing with the color they choose for the body.

[@SubSonicEctomorph]

I love you guys having a bit more fun with this one. Great bass as well!

[@1234drums]

Never been so much into 6 string basses, but this one is a beast

[@Yesnikh]

I dropped a 6 way rotary selector into my Dingwall Combustion 5 after adding the third pickup, and these are the exact selections I can achieve with that setup. Did this a couple of years ago and never looked back!

[@barnabasmihaly8961]

The guitarist and bassist of Grapefruit Astronauts use Aviators. I think this bass might actually belong to the bassist! (Because of the 12th fret inlay)

[@basstheworldofficial]

exactly, it's his bass :)

[@kimmorgan379]

That's very.... Dingwally!!! Not a problem... looks and sounds great.

[@zulu5157]

Sounds more versatiel 🙃

[@T-Hawkeyes]

0:36. spitting out my coffee😹

[@AlexandarShmex]

Ilja John Lappin is the right man to test this one, his band Hirsch Effekt is very good as well.

[@IljaJohnLappin]

🙏

[@unETHical_detailer]

I love that tone

[@zulu5157]

What a masterpiece off modern bassbuilding. What a unbelievable Tool!

[@Metalbass1979]

I was in Germany last week for a layover and kept hoping I'd run into one of the guys from the channel..... and probably end up walking away with a desire for new gear. This bass sounds absolutely killer!

[@sascofiasco-Ianf180]

Now that looks like fun

[@StoicKujo]

How does this compare to the BTB806ms?

[@klaymeister]

0:33 😂

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

You HAVE that bass... Now.

[@basstheworldofficial]

it's already back with the owner unfortunately

[@p.fabiano223]

Hey Gregor! That's a lovely review. May I ask you why didn't you decide to play in the high register of the instrument? (especially without using distortion and while cutting the high frequencies) One of the best things about this kind of 6 string fanned fret basses is how sweet they sound in the very high register. Fanned fret is not just for metal. Thank you!

[@basstheworldofficial]

I thought we covered that in the 2nd sound sample

[@p.fabiano223]

You mean the tapping section? I meant sonething like this 🤷: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIXLk4OjqcSHrqs&pp=ygURRGluZ3dhbGwgbmczIGpheno%3D

[@jreid641]

I'm really impressed with that bass!

[@pxnhead]

I was definitely too!

[@zulu5157]

​@@pxnheadwhen you are not impressed than you are not a bassplayer🤪

[@MegaStadtfeld]

Ilja is einfach so einer Maschine!

[@IljaJohnLappin]

🙏🖤

[@Pavel_Franta]

beautiful bass. Very smart settings. Many options. AMAZING online configurator where you can configure literally EVERYTHING! (if you have 10000 dollars) What is sad (same for dingwall), the sound of your current configuration is shit if you dont play metal. And if you do, it doesnt matter which bass you have. Sad but true, Pbass 4 strings for 800 dollars (any brand) is still undefeated in 90% of songs.

[@samuelviden7412]

Can’t find any info on the website.

[@robertp457]

Yep I had the same issue. I saw one bass that was sold and no other basses to be seen on their website.

[@russthompson7994]

Same here. Perhaps AG are hoping to generate some interest? I think they got what they wanted.

[@MythixMusic1]

I wasn't sure if they were still making guitars.

[@E6963]

Top ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@robertp457]

I went to their website and there are no basses to configure or buy.

[@basstheworldofficial]

they're about to update the website

[@andrep0wly35]

The next Dingwall clone

[@valendis]

Remember guys, before starting the video, go check out the instrument price to avoid any GAS crisis 😄

[@RedshiftDougal]

1:59 Your English is extremely good for a non-native speaker, Gregor, so I hesitated before commenting. But since you ask, « second of all » isn’t considered correct by grammarians (although we all know what is meant). You could opt for just « second » or « next » instead. Great video, as usual. 👍

[@basstheworldofficial]

I know. This was just a bit of fun ;) I love being a non-native speaker. It allows me to play with the language in a way that would probably considered to be weird if I was a native.

[@xdoctorblindx]

It's like Dingwall and Ernie Ball had a baby.

[@Chef316]

Seems like a lot of metal bassists are playing 6 strings these days

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👍👌

[@martijnprins5751]

Why don't you ever play in videos Gregor?

[@meantime69]

I HAVE CHUBBY

[@kubap9142]

Lol? A lot of other channels review basses.

[@mrpositronia]

It's very modern. Great for the younger 'KZbin' generation, I guess.

[@basstheworldofficial]

What?

[@jameslucas1476]

You're not going to get any girls with that kind of music.....

[@basstheworldofficial]

I assume you’ve never been at a metal show? Much more diverse crowd that you might expect

[@albundy2239]

Gsus, Ilja's chops are disgusting. 😂

[@mymodel6]

That bass doesn't actually exist...
