FRANZ BASSGUITARS WEGA 5 MULTISCALE

[@ThrashingBasskill]

1:06 nothing fancy, nothing over the top... just exactly what you need to do your job... with active/passive mode and a 3-way switch for every picup... for 4450€... I think I missed something where a bass for 450 could get the job done too.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Why do assume Dingwall Basses are better?

[@ThrashingBasskill]

@@AIVacation How do you define "better quality" if one costs over 1k and the other 4k? Above 1k I wouldn't assume a quality difference, it's top notch anyways. Why should Dingwalls then be the best of the best?

[@nmnmnm9509]

My problem is that you can't say it's not fancy, that maple top, matched headstock it's a kind of fancy in the similar way that Warwick is fancy.

[@holdencaustic]

Great bass, and great work by Rene!

[@rabbirelax]

I confess: I watch these videos for the always awkward, yet, entertaining, parting phrase. “Have a nice...afterlife...” 😂

[@basstheworldofficial]

Ah... you’re the one watching the videos all the way to the end. I’ve always wondered who that 1 person the stats show might be 😉

Incredible sounding bass guitar. No surprise though. It's Germany. One of the world's best engineering countries when it comes to anything. I really want this bass. It will satisfy my need for a firm, solid, powerful Low B and overall clarity with its multi-scale design. The reason the bass is so heavy is the walnut, maple and ebony wood combination. All of which are heavy woods. Hence the thunderous tone this thing produces. Walnut and ebony in particular are known for the distinctively clear and huge low end. Ebony is also a wood that lends well to touch and percussive styles of play, namely tapping and slapping. This bass should provide tremendous satisfaction for all who will play it. The weight can be handled well with a thick, wide and comfortably designed strap. Well done Germany!!!!! :)

tone wood isn't much of a thing in electric guitars and basses.

[@trance9158]

@@kaedeschulz5422 it is where weight and looks are concerned.

Great looking bass and tight sound

[@davidames9339]

The bass is nice... great range of sounds. Ouch on the $$. Rene is the groove master... his playing is solid and refreshing.

[@hayleycomet8029]

I love this bass

[@pathaber6706]

Awesome bass, and René at his best (as usual) ^^

Sounds awesome

nice bass not the price lol

It's a stunning bass, but 4.5K stunning? hell no.

[@jie1823]

@@veli86 6.7K Canadian that's just too much...and i have my Dingwall Super J5 im happy with that...

Guys, search for S.Martyn Custom Basses on Facebook and Instagram, it's a brazilian brand, he makes amazing basses and for a fair price.

[@fheliojr]

It´s no longer all true. Now, those basses are expensive to brazilians.

[@cacadordorio]

Looks Canadian to me

[@tabonejohann]

Pretty cool

[@basseur]

Wau! Ju saund so dschörmen! ♥

[@craigmoran893]

The bass sounds great. And the 36inch scale length should fit a standard long scale set of strings from D'addario - that is cool.

[@BassAdvisor]

It sounds too piano-like to my taste. The price is according to a hand made instrument in Germany. If made by one person in NY it would cost more for sure.

[@kaedeschulz5422]

Many factors are going into what it sounds like. The strings change a lot and then there are tone knobs and stuff... Amp settings, speakers and more.

[@lilpbass]

The Amish guy sure can play!

[@RedEyeFrogger]

Joe Dart bobblehead approves!

[@paulrelvas2206]

10.5 lbs Wow that’s a design flaw in my mind...most high end basses are getting lighter not heavier in the refinement process

[@ts4gv]

paul relvas but... toan

[@jobelewis6416]

@@ts4gv Nah Ive found lighter basses sound way better. The strings acoustically are much louder, retaining their energy, way longer sustain etc... Heavier being better is an old myth now I think

[@markbass354]

Mr. Fris nice fan fretted Franz bass

[@markviereck4547]

One note has an annoying buzz. Does anyone else hear it?

[@brenlouissurio2404]

A Warwick thumbs sounds better.

[@trance9158]

No it doesn't

[@martinheath5947]

The more "fancy" (schmanzy) they look the worse they generally sound. Give me a P, a J, or a Ray any day. Just my opinion.

[@MrHestichs]

I'll have to say that open B in the intro sounds awful.. Might just be the EQ

[@Slider1207]

If you can't appreciate instruments beyond the basic-bitch standards, then that sounds like a personal problem. Get over yourself.

[@charlesbukowski7730]

Sound like davie 504 xD

[@57precision]

This bass sounds awesome but the price tag is completely unreasonable.

[@basstheworldofficial]

This instrument was built by hand and he uses expensive electronics and hardware. There are many unreasonably priced basses out there, but this isn’t one of them

[@kaedeschulz5422]

Fender pricing isn't good for example. This one here is okay.

[@gingerjam2192]

500-600€ of hardware and electronic, 300€ of wood, the finish, the abrasives and tools, and lot of works. I make instruments for myself, friends and family, I’m sure if I make the same bass and sell it for 1000€ I earned no money and worked for free.

[@blackisblack22]

Ridiculous.

[@maxcaesar5684]

the headstock is ugly a f . and the price....just no!

How tasteful

My Musicman Stingray sounds better and they are only$2000

[@dotnineteen.1962]

But is it multiscale

[@markviereck4547]

DOTNINETEEN I only play in one scale.. just saying $6000 ???? I would rather buy 3 other basses

@@markviereck4547 i was being sarcastic

[@kaedeschulz5422]

You know that sound can be affected by settings and strings for example?
