MUSICVOX MOMO 8-STRING BASS

[@eamonmoran6890]

wow with that octave pedal it sounds like a organ

[@NickyHendriks]

Not just an organ, it reminded me of an organ paired with a Leslie speaker..

[@CiteWhyclosa]

Yeah that riff he played alongside fit it perfectly

[@Aethertigris]

I think that's why he calls it a hammond pedal.

[@telecasterbear]

Being a Cheap Trick fan since 1978, I have always been fond eight and twelve string basses. Thanks to Gregor and Frank for sharing the bass love.

[@michaelb.42112]

That's the first thing I thought was Cheap Trick.

[@ibalrog]

All of the sounds in this are amazing, start to finish. Frank Itt on organ! Frank Itt on ambient guitar!

[@CiteWhyclosa]

Gregor after the octave demo: um that was cool I guess Me experiencing transcendental euphoria after hearing the most beautiful bass riff I've ever heard: y-yea

[@wren23_bass-synths]

Being a fretless player mainly, would like to hear a fretless 8 string. That would be awesome 👌🏾

[@bradreed4414]

Sorry not sure I could handle that level of awesome 🤣

[@waruta69]

I built one...

[@SkateboardBassguitar]

I believe the bassist of Pearl Jam used one on alive. Not sure though

[@wren23_bass-synths]

@@SkateboardBassguitar it was a 8 string but not fretless. He does play a fretless though.

[@wren23_bass-synths]

@@SkateboardBassguitar it was a Hamer

[@codychickadee5095]

I think Frank is currently my favourite bassist. This man is great.

[@alexeliadis9827]

That bass sounds and looks awesome!!

[@UncleRJ]

I just realize that the bass looks like a reverse more rounded 4003 Rickenbacker bass.

[@zzzyzzzyzzzyxxx]

Yeah, that's the first thing that struck me too.

[@SonicXRage]

The construction seems Rickenbacker-inspired, too: rosewood fretboard, maple neck, neck thru with mahogany wings. The body is like the 4003W, but with mahogany wings instead of walnut wings.

[@BamBamBoy7]

Glad I’m not the only one I saw the similarity

[@t.j.meechan682]

That bass look and sounds crazy, but in all the best ways.

[@ShoesMagoo]

Been researching 8-stringers for a while now and this one seems to be at the top in terms of quality build. The wide neck has kept me from pulling the trigger on buying one. I know the dual truss rod system must be accommodated, but my hands aren't Peter Steele sized so it's just not going to happen. Thanks for the review as there aren't a lot for these instruments!

[@jeffjeff4477]

Yes My 12 string Hammer is a Bear, sounds cool though

[@kevmac1230]

I always craved an 8 string so I finally bought one a Scheccter Session Riot.It is a beautiful instrument and the neck is just fine for my small hands.

[@themrreepodcast4201]

Don't know why this video popped up in my recommendations, but glad it did. Great rocking vid!

[@oysteivi]

Frank being awesome like always!

[@texacomann]

Already have the 8 sting from Hagstrom for already 10 years, and had a lot of fun with it

[@nathanjasper512]

"My dreams are exclusively about bass." "So you never have dirty dreams?" "I didn't say that."

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

you need to play this bass with a pick and crunchy ampeg tube amp-your guitarplayer will shiver with fear.

[@laurieslockdownmusicroom1822]

Awesome! Haven't played an 8 string in years and this one sounds fantastic... Thanks to Frank of course 😉

[@laurieslockdownmusicroom1822]

That octave up turn it into an organ. Wow!

[@rainermichaelcom]

8-string + octaver = epic!

[@JNeedels]

This is my favorite bass channel. Though I like the other people demo the basses and hardware, I’d like to hear you play more.

[@jonchines]

I used to have a custom 8-string with j-bass setup on a mahogany body. It was a lot of fun to play but I wish I’d thought to throw an octaver on it - that was a neat organ tone. I also had a 12-string with humbuckers and some very neat wiring allowing, among other things, to run the bridge pup to one amp and the neck pup to another - kind of allowed a distorted rhythm and bass in full sync.

[@catelanihenrique]

my God, now the videos have subtitles in my language in Brazil 😍thank you so much ❤️

[@LANSpace211]

With the pedal it sounds like I'm ready to worship at church! lol

[@timkrueger9154]

I just got one of the 4 Purple MoMo Wohoo.. It needed some serious help. Thank God I have a great guitar tech. Now its seriously a monster!!

[@Joetime90]

Between an 8, 12, and Fender VI basses, I'm torn on my next purchase. Slippery slope! So many sounds that can prove us bassists that we can compose songs.

[@MatthiasKremp]

I guess the last piece Frank played is an ode to Helmut Hattler. Isn‘t it?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Of course 🙂

[@fiacchi]

both pickups sound's soooooo great! Wooo!

[@robinfeathers650]

I just received my Momo 8, which is identical to yours, in fact I wouldn't doubt that they were built in the same batch. It's been years since I've had an 8 string bass, so it's nice to have one again.

[@robinfeathers650]

And yes, Momo is a great guy!

[@abouc]

That metallic purple paint is so perfect

[@MG-vo7is]

OMG that sound is wicked good!

[@pzooka]

My new goal is to have one of these

[@noamont9936]

that first solo was fire

[@michaelkeefer4293]

I have absolutely no possible use for that thing but I still want it!

[@joaoalcantara6676]

Frank Itt is such a boss 🤘

[@Badz_B34chst4r]

Gregor, please, you have to get Lehmann play us hypnotic, earthy, psychedelic rock grooves on this 8-string!!!

[@tore-andregurandsrud1043]

Noone has a badder bass face than Frank Itt! 😎

[@pensnut08]

That bass with the octave pedal reminded me of "Lazy" by Deep Purple.

[@TheBigMclargehuge]

Grandpa's got some wicked bass face

[@BassRacerx]

Major Prince vibes. amazing!

[@HighTechCinnamon]

dream bass for sure.

[@ronviejo4994]

Cousin Itt is my hero!

[@gregryu3247]

Cool, I'm not alone!

[@nachobassman]

Came for the 8-strings, stayed for the epic bassface.

[@bmw-sepp8722]

German bass legend? Helmut Hattler for sure!

[@iamLexxKelsey]

That's crazy dope

[@gunderson1005]

Babe wake up frank is on bass

[@_imago]

The bass is great and all but I love your t-shirt

[@Bernajazz]

Lindo Musicvox ótimo timbre 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@ezebass]

Which filter is he using? It's INSANE!

[@crushingthevector5837]

I own one. Fantastic instrument

[@paulcoverdale8312]

It looks like Frank has found a new love ha ha ha. What do ya think Frank? A saucy bit on the side???? Ohhhhhh But it dose sound pretty good Thanks for sharing guys Paul 14.48 gmt Uk cheers

[@klik4888]

Jeez, help Frank get his own KZbin channel

[@basstheworldofficial]

He doesn’t do social media

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Well THAT was a dirty trick. I really like this bass A LOT, but only FOUR made?

[@davelock3166]

Fantastic!

[@anthonylenski6379]

What amp were you using? I have the Schecter Stiletto Studio 8 string bass and would love to know. Thanks!

[@basstheworldofficial]

None at all

[@bongosock]

I would love to hear that bass tuned BEAD. I love having a low B string, but I don't like its timbre - it's so fat that you lose the all the overtones. I was wondering if you pair that string with an octave B string, you could get some of that timbre back. What do you think?

[@nfdr0kk3rz]

i've been finding that tuning my 5 string into C Standard tuning (C-F-A♯-D♯-G#) gives the bottom string a brighter sound

[@rainbowslushy223]

i think that would be killer . do it

[@jdmarino]

Holy crap.

[@tobiasmann1426]

Oaaa sis weri tolli. Son Teil hätt ich auch gern

[@gnomishviking3013]

Dang. Thats some stank! at the beginning!

[@themrreepodcast4201]

Some super stanky funky funk!

[@jogisweers3124]

Actually the two outputs are wired in parallel and just give the same signal twice. Still useful, though.

[@christianbusch2123]

Frankie plays Hattler 😋

[@ZethKeeper]

Ok, we have Momo bass, but where's Appa bass?

[@hetul784]

quite frankly gregor. at this point i dont even know what im dream about....

[@thombrady420]

The German bass legend style sounded like Helmut Hattler to me but I’m probably wrong.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Nope that’s it 🙂

[@d.s.9692]

FRANK! FRANK! FRANK!

[@robertbennett708]

Kool bass! nice tonez..The bassist is a beast! un-human.🎸What's the weight?

[@basstheworldofficial]

Frank‘s weight? 😉

[@robertbennett708]

@@basstheworldofficial Frank's a heavy bassist! 😉

[@MikeyTiger37]

So can you use both outputs at the same time?! 😯

[@basstheworldofficial]

yes

[@markbass354]

GREGOR WHAT'S THAT THING HANGING OUT THE BOTTOM OF THAT BASS VERY INTERESTING

[@Chef316]

Seriously sounded like a Hammond

[@therealfronzilla]

Maybe try a 12 string bass, like the one Tom Petersson invented.

[@SugataRoyPalodhi]

Frank played some Lars!

[@afpseb4582]

like Frank

[@ecgecg8014]

Il y a un très bon morceau solo de... ?... sur un disque solo (aussi) de Stu Golberg, qui joue avec John McLaughlin, notamment sur "Electric dreams, with the One truth band" (vu en concert... Ouah... John, L. Shankar, Fernando Sander, Tomi Smith, et Stu).. (Je n'ai pas le disque (33t) sous la main... celui de Stu, pour le bassiste).

[@emoedison]

very cool and will make some folks very happy, but if I can see pretty obvious finish imperfections on a youtube video, I am a little concerned about what what my 1800 bucks is gonna get me. Put this on the list with the Strandberg to snap it up when they show up used in a few years.

[@crushingthevector5837]

Worth every penny. There is NOTHING imperfect about what I received when I purchased mine. Made in Jersey and received in Florida. I love it. Whole lotta instrument but fit for those who only have the bass balls to own the instrument and by that meaning, no fear in playing it.

[@emoedison]

@@crushingthevector5837 they aren’t built in New Jersey, for one thing. That’s where the company is, but these are imported instruments and that’s no secret.

[@beijihu]

Sounds awesome! But do i need to be bald to play this bass? oO

[@marlin6668]

Not a neck through. It’s not a bolt on neck. It’s a glue on neck.

[@peterveres2942]

Momo lives in Montreal, but I believe he was born in Germany.
