Took me three years to find my Goya, but I'd never take it on the road... I think this would be awesome to travel with. Tried it at NAMM this year, loved the way it felt.

Great review, Jon!

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Thanks man! It’s such a cool bass. You need to check one out...

[@Freebybass]

Love the review, great job!

[@TonyPuleo1]

Thanks Jonathan, great job...

[@karlvanbeckum9029]

Excellent review, thanks!

[@lyonsparker-shockley8741]

Awesome review. Just ordered one!

[@mstclair]

great thorough review - thank you - would love to watch/hear your take on the V2 Acinonyx

[@ibelieveinsound]

Such an interesting and funky beast. Stoked and grateful to have a preorder on the next run of production.

[@HondoFelder]

This is great man! Please do more! Def earned my sub🤘🏽

[@vdavis4785]

Really helpful review, thanks! I got a used Cat a few weeks ago, and it's really a fun little bass! I'm really happy (& relieved) to know that the switches are time-tested durable; that's the only thing I wondered/worried about. For those not up on their big cat taxonomy, Acinonyx is the genus name for Cheetah. The very nice gig bag you can get for your Acinonyx bass has an orange interior with black spots, very cool.

Great review!Just got mine on Friday and I’m blown away. Great tone options and playability. People calling this a toy need there heads checked.

[@rmcfee]

Wow killer tone!

[@garyholdsworth53]

I love mine, white just like yours. I noticed that for me, and my preferences and my ears, that the "stock" pickup height for the neck pickup was a bit low. That's not a knock on the bass, just how it was setup by Mo. I prefer my neck and bridge pickups to be more closely matched as to output. I see that's how yours shipped (based on the background pic). The good thing is that Carey made such adjustments easily doable with just a few turns of a small head Phillips.

[@martinheath5947]

Wow that's comprehensive! Amazing review, could you possibly demo it with flats? Are the pickups buzz free as single coils and is one of them reverse coil, reverse polarity ie true humbucking in series mode? Thanks

[@TheBassfresh]

sounds great, these basses remind me of the old chrysler dash push button transmissions ;-)...i prefer V-V-T on a 2 pickup bass

[@keithwaters7507]

yessss

[@ibelieveinsound]

dub machine with the “ all in “setting

[@Moigle1]

Great review! Is that Direct, or what amp are you going through?

[@D71219ONE]

He’s running from the bass to a Millenia STT-1 to an Antelope Orion 32 to Apple Logic.

[@dwaynedelario]

Rad. Tone rolled off surprisingly useful. I could see tracking with this often. Great review Jonathan! What strings you got on there, Dunlops? (Forgive me if you mentioned it).

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Pretty sure they’re Dunlop Super Bright Nickels...

[@dwaynedelario]

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass Thx man. Great write up on Rocco for SBL btw.

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

@@dwaynedelario Right on. Appreciate that.

[@mlchaelphelps1158]

What kind of strings are on this bass for this interview?

[@noyd4172]

What does the fourth pickup switch button (right-most for the playing demos) do? If you press that one, does it automatically bring the other three buttons down with it?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

It’s a mid-notch filter

[@noyd4172]

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass Thank you so much! Lovely video.

[@vdavis4785]

If you are referring to the right-most button on the pickup selection cluster of buttons, it is a mute button (a.k.a. strangle switch).

[@jrosner6123]

Wow wow wow! Not a single unusable tone at all....

[@codyhansonbass]

Lots of great tones. You're either not a fan of this flavor or tone or youre listening through crappy speakers.

[@chrisbreese1542]

Wow that thing growls on every setting. Dang my wallet.

[@spoombung]

I like the dimensions of the bass but it has a really dull tone on every setting. Disappointing.

[@brianjenks3864]

Sounds like a wet rubberband. Each sound more dull and thuddy than the next. 3 bolt neck? That price and so called quality but they couldn't do one more bolt. Cheesey!

[@debrahudson2243]

Bet your playing is cheesy! Lol

[@spoombung]

I agree. Flabby, dead tone on every setting.
