[@tyranusgraves2848]

Honestly, as cool as the little bass is, that Lignum bass just has THE tone I love!

[@armignac]

Having signature Bartolini Pickups must be a dream coming true!! Congrats on a really great and spectacular signature Bass!

[@whyamisuperhandsome]

the sub octave is crazy bro

[@WarrioRAbsolutE]

Would like to see a piccolo bass vs the small mayones bass!

[@yobrethren]

Yeaaa, make Joey Demaio proud!

[@goatrix_-]

i believe thats called a guitar

[@WarrioRAbsolutE]

@@goatrix_- all of these basses are called bass guitars. The original basses belong to the orchestra.

[@goatrix_-]

@@WarrioRAbsolutE ik im just joking 💀

[@SCOTTEDWARDS111]

Nate, I love the octave sub bass! That’s awesome!!!!

[@prakashkrishnan9646]

Awesome playing as always Nate! Love them both!

of course, the Lignum is the best

[@MegaDeox]

Lignum NUTS HAHA Wait what

[@kitsvn]

amazing playing as always. I laughed the entire time, those riffs were hilarious and awesome.

[@stevesmith3990]

Amazing playing as always. I'm looking forward to seeing you on the live P Tree blu ray when it comes out!

[@jonsidell3338]

I think the winner here was the flipper cameo.

[@layz_gaming_4275]

I feel like the sub bass would be incredible for heavily drop tuned music. I feel like it would add so much depth rather than just playing same part, same octave.

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Dude... Don't know how I only found you now, but I guess it makes sense, because you're one of those legendary S-tier bassists!

[@cbrunhaver]

I would like to hear the lignum tuned higher. I think it would have a great “piano sound” tuned more like BEAD maybe F#BEA

[@jozinbazin8574]

Best sponsor ever

[@PeteCarlton]

Just loved this. I have a beloved Cali 4 and I wish I could play it anything like you - it's a treat to play, to look at and even just to feel in your hands. So this battle is no battle for me, even if the Lignum looks like long-armed fun!

[@fernandobuhring]

Dude WHAAAAAAT Another one? in PURPLE?!?! Incredible

[@MythixMusic1]

What a fun composition!

[@brunocyclist]

Awesome Zoolander reference! :) Awesome playing, beautiful composition, gorgeous Mayones, impressive, ingenious Lignum.

[@greymatter800]

The 42" long scale bass is very impressive, great idea and amazing job! Love the concept! I use low tuning and faced the same problem with the lack of tension. The tuning on my 37"-34" multiscale bass is actually exactly the same as yours (and the same custom Newtone strings!), sounds awesome, but 42" would definitely add definition and overtones. It would make a lot of sense to add 5- and 6-string versions to your 42" bass lineup though! Will definitely look into buying one for myself when the budget allows :)

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Both together will sound insane!

[@differenttigers]

I work on boats and will def need a small bass of some sort for my 6 month stint next year, this intrigues me

[@tigerscott2966]

That long bass is amazing...

[@alexanderbrobston1590]

Please make a video comparing the two Lignum basses

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

My Lignum is the third one from left with EMG pickups. I can tell that low F# shines on 42" scale (I do Drop F#) and it helps a lot. I was looking for bass to handle studio recording for this low range and it works great! Also it is cool to see how every bass produced so far is so different! :)

[@NateNavarro]

It's awesome to hear that it's working well for you in Drop F#! Great looking bass, man!

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

@@NateNavarro Thanks man! I'm just still not sure if I found the string tension/thickness sweet spot for F# string. Other strings are beyond brilliant but F# I feel I could get more "voice" (piano tone) out of it perhaps with less thick strings. That's probably up for discussion with NewTone Strings guys. I have: F# .166 C# .126 F# .096 B .073

[@NateNavarro]

@@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION Thanks for the feedback! I'm still experimenting with string gauge on my end here. I'm testing out some flatwounds this week too.

[@ToddChaddingtonEsq]

fantastic work man, love to see it. what kind of strings are you using on that long-scale beast? stay bassin

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

really made my sub woofer work overtime

[@domagojoinky8262]

For me, 5 string tuned from B to G is always the winner, but I find interesting both, the piccolo bass and the sub contrabass guitar.

[@MrDaneBrammage]

The striking thing about the Lignum is that you rarely touched the sub-octave E string, and when you did, anything below about the 7th fret was an un-pitched rumble. It seems like just a novelty.

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

You really should listen to such frequencies in a live situation. KZbin will compress too much, and the hardware wouldn't be capable of properly producing it to you (unless you have like 2K+$ audio system)

[@joshlikesbass]

How hard is it to source strings for the sub octave bass? I find myself highly limited on my multi-scale (37"-34") string options as it is.

[@user-rs7tv5lq5v]

Kallium can make them I think up to a 40in, for dingwall scale length I’d go with either daddario extra long scale or dingwall strings

[@yeoss]

that slide on the little bass knocked me out

[@ThoR52]

That little mayones is a surprisingly interesting instrument !

[@erikmaronde2244]

The Winner is of cause Nate! The Basses are nice, too😉

[@cloudy4602]

I wonder if the sub-octave bass would sound good with a regular bass tuning! Might be an idea to try out...

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

Dobro bass vs. Banjo bass

[@phredbull]

I've newer seen sweep arpeggios like that on a bass before. Damn.

[@loiseaunoir1021]

I love the Lignum's sound, but it gets so low it becomes blurred and mushy. Much like the octobass, it would sound better blending with other instruments. How 'bout tuning it higher? About your books: I will look them up. For those more enclined towards classical music, there's a lot of good stuff for the 5 in Bach's works, check out the flute partita in A minor and the suites for lute and cello. All can be easily adapted for the fiver to give lots and lots of fun with beautiful music from "medium" difficulty to outright challenging. Peace fo 2024! 😁

[@Nanu4711Nanu]

Lignum NN Sub Octave Bass with Fishman Fluence, best thing ever! 😍

[@colinmitchell1287]

Giant classical octo bass vs the sub octave bass!

[@rubensalazar4003]

Hi Nate, I really liked that comparison between that 42 scale and the other one that I'm not sure if it was 28 scale. Nate, what is the cost of your 4 string book and how can I order it?

[@Dmeekification]

Awesome! Do you offer a six string?

[@cloudbloodmusic]

The 42" scale length means it's the longest bass on the market. I need it for my music because my bass needs to go down to C#0 and right now I'm using a pitch shifter to achieve that. (I use a 9 string guitar)

[@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION]

Actually it is not. Kalium made "Shark" 4 string that is 44" and they made it years ago. It was meant to handle C#0. But no multiscale and really hard to play overall.

[@cloudbloodmusic]

@@Schtorm_BLITZ_UNION tbf I'm aware of kalium but not the shark and if it's not currently in production then I wouldn't say it's on the market anymore.

[@stephenhodgeman6496]

I gotta bookmark this so I can buy this book when I have money again lol

[@rossco420]

AWESOME NATE, love them both,

[@sakondisable]

doctor: I'm sorry to say that you have Lignum patient: Lignum? doctor: Lignum my balls

[@sakondisable]

good vid though btw, just had to

[@JohnCornnell]

I like the little guy, but that is just my preference. I feel you're able to play around with different styles of playing more, plus, it's easy to transport.

[@tieftontaube167]

It sounds like an argument between father and son. Well played!

[@MrScannermann]

Need a fretted double bass?

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

Oh... I didn't realize the Cali4 was an octave up. I thought they were just fat strings. Now it makes me think of playing a guitar, ick

[@MythixMusic1]

You should do a 6 string book

[@nonyobussiness3440]

Make a sub Oct acoustic bass

[@Gubgubgoober]

Which one was easier to play?

[@zulu5157]

😂Dolphins vs T Rex.👍 Want to see/hear you on a Rickenbacker which is missing in your collection😉

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

P.s. that Lignum wins!

[@jono2330]

I want the sub octave bass

[@ChrisGorman87]

The Cali 4 is the winner cuz I have one and it’s my favorite one too play

[@KomischerMensch]

Love it.... wanna have both. Probably gonna sell my car for it

[@spoonerluv]

Lignum sounds like the setup to one of those "balls" jokes

[@theshepster901]

The answer is yes

[@da_bumbum2670]

How can we get the lil bass???

[@DizzyDez613]

That sub octave comes in purple now???? 😱

[@themodernguitarist]

I fucking love that sub bass finish. It reminds me of those glittery soft plastic fishing baits lol

[@jirosaves_theworld]

at first i though that Blue bass extended part are edited lol

[@jason.martin]

Wow that sub low E still came through clearly on my laptop !!!

[@TriodesPs111]

42" scale?! thats pretty cool but who makes your strings?! kalium only gos to 40" scale. so even if one was to buy one of theses, where would they get strings for it? o_O

[@luc-olivierbouchard606]

😮😅🤩🤯 🔥🔥🔥

[@noobynoob138]

i want it but it's so expensive 😭

[@AnnaandStanleyFNF]

Why does this guy have no double bass

[@davidlopez-un9zp]

double sided bass and guitar

[@Stick3x]

He could play a rubber-band and make it sound good.

[@nandapunyayoutubeyt4385]

imagine if this bass has maple fretboard...

[@VHZest]

the little one won and it wasn't close.

[@reubentester3332]

If it's the same tuning as a guitar, it's just a 4 string guitar

[@barbaraanneneale3674]

This is A Ridiculous comparison. Which is better a sports car or a jump truck. The question is for what?

[@boranmu]

forsen

[@klimgarinvideo917]

My bass, made by Mishka an alcoholic, is the best by any means!

[@drphalanges1520]

What's that you say?!? A Ligma bass?!?

[@georgemeller4074]

Late to the party, but this isn't even a question. The Mayones is a novelty. The Lignum is a behemoth.

[@terrycooneu1586]

One's a bass the other is a ukulele! 😊

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

bass for ants lol

[@MilkMaker-ph9dx]

Ligma bass

[@SecondaryHomunculus]

I want to get a 42" scale bass and run it through enough octave pedals to split the earth. Gonna be calling elephants from Africa to my house.
