Oops… I Just Bought Two New Stenback Basses

[@M2Mil7er]

a Recluthier, if you will.

[@jackzango427]

Nice. 👍😊🍺

[@J450NAv3ng3d]

Tom's basses are always amazing, constantly find myself drooling over the 2 he made for Paul Turner especially his full on white bass. Absolutely beautiful!

[@inso80]

Surprisingly good comparison with 2 same type instruments and how different the sound can be. quite interesting. And I'm happy to see finnish artisanship in practice.

[@leFoodeater]

0:34 "I've got these two new basses..." AND I'M GIVING THEM AWAY "... and I really wanted to share with you". oh...

[@TheMadLicksBand]

Sounds like Scott Devine on any bass... Which is great

[@Basslessonsmelbourne]

Super jealous! Stenback is a bass jedi. Only thing is I wish the audio of the basses wasn't clipping :(

[@guusschneider]

Hee Scott. Nice vid!! 👍 Just a small correction. It’s Paul Sips of Bassmatters. Keep shooting the nice videos.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

That flamey natural finish one is DOPE... I love everything about it. I want one now.

[@davidtaylor6613]

Love to see all that thought and development as well as craftsmanship going into our beloved instrument.

[@danleach266]

The white one with the rosewood board seems right up my alley.

[@thomassumrall6765]

So help me, if I win that blue custom shop Fender, I will astral project through 5 dimensions and come back as some saintly bass demigod

[@fernandoborges5525]

I love this comment on a degree I thought was not possible

[@markdaniels7174]

If I win the blue Fender, I'm going to go to every YT video where Scott is playing it, and leave a gloating comment about it being MINE now. Mwahahahaha!! [/evil laugh]

[@fabiominari2861]

Look gorgeous, dude! Beautiful instruments, well done!!!

[@agungandy836]

What a gorgeous shape, loved it

[@KingMasterBasser6]

His tombstone will say, Scott Devine A Good Dude

[@koningarno]

Hi Scott, FYI: it's Paul Sips who owns the store Bass matters. Cheers!

[@gjrodgers20]

Hey Scott, thanks for bringing attention to smaller bass builders! I couldn’t tell if there was any sort of shielding under the electronics... I’ve heard mixed reviews, but how do you feel about shielding routed out cavities in the body? I’ve got a buddy that copper tapes every guitar/bass he owns, because he believes it helps with overall tone/feedback issues. Anyways, I’ve got my fingers crossed during this giveaway for lifetime SBL membership so I can continue to learn from the best.... but I’d take a Sire jazz bass too lol! Keep up the great work!

[@GravityBoy72]

Imagine how much better James Jamerson would have been with weights in his basses.

[@alexparsa8330]

2 months later: I'll be giving these 2 basses away!!

[@waltinhonolasco]

5 months, actually

[@jean-pierrejoubert6140]

That white one has a bit more snap and almost clarity, where the other one is ... silky? It also had a bit of a growl compared to the white. Crazy!

[@martinlawrence1744]

Holy shit, idk if this was frequently said before but, Scott strangely resembles James McAvoy.

[@MisterQuadral]

Those basses are alright but that Panerai watch outshines everything else

[@neilmason3563]

Sweet axe! Read the description quickly and for a second I was expecting to see Steinbeck basses! If you haven't done a video on weird, odd and wacky basses you should!

[@andreasd1132]

So ... Tom of Finland then.

[@brendanhoppe227]

Definitly neat with the weights, I think the heavier weight gave it a more punchy music man tone. Lovin it!

[@chia-chinghuang2645]

Those metal blocks play the role as "acoustic absorbers" inside the electronic cavity that depend on the absorption coefficient at different frequency.

[@pavele.6304]

The white one just doesn’t sound so good, the natural one is just piece of magic ❤️

[@dwightdawson3578]

Pavel E. To each his own, I like the look of the natural bass but when he started playing the white bass my ears perked up and I instantly noticed that I was listening more intently. A “Jazz Bass” tone like Geddy in my humble opinion. I would never buy a white bass but, that’s just my personal preference. Cheers!

[@dannster]

Facebook, Instagram, Website and lots of vids about him here and vimeo. And yes amazing holy grail basses!

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

You cracked me up with that opening....lmao

[@lartensgrill6106]

Beautiful basses.

[@dhughes2645]

Great review on the stenback basses. Love the 5 string he did for Alex Al...

[@BigSheaux]

I could only dream to have one of these basses

[@omarmoon57]

My bass instructor has a Stenback bass and its smooth as butter

[@reynhart66]

very elegant and this pickup sound lovely. A second one of this badboy on bridge position will not be a bad idea IMHO

[@anthonycook9541]

Love how informative the videos are while still being laid back and funny

[@g.medina3717]

Awesome basses Scott, I personally prefer the Natural wood color Bass more than the White one, the tone just digs in a little more to me, and adds more low end with nice growl , there both great though , enjoy!

[@weschilton]

Lovely basses, they have a really gritty tone that totally fits your playing style.

[@BadChizzle]

Very exciting to get the new Basses! They are very very Cool looking!! Soooooo... ... Scott... you need to get a kit and build a Bass for the fun of it. Learn some ways to change aspects and make it your own creation. Maybe make it in “The Shed” I don’t know?! 🤔 I’ve built a few Guitars from bits a pieces I’ve picked on line... and they have come out great! Your build would be something really Cool to talk about here... aaaaaand... you could build two and give away one to promote that which you promote. Bam! Win Win!! Who wouldn’t want a Bass you made?! Who, I ask you?! 🤷🏻‍♂️✨💫🎸🎸‼️

[@fragallo1188]

Great review. Thank you

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

awesome and unique basses!

[@TheBassfresh]

wow! Now I've got G.A.S. for that flamed alder bass!!

[@lefmankan]

oh my god these are beautiful

[@MichaelBLive]

Nice basses! My wild guess is the pu on the white one is the big difference. The windings and maybe even the pu height adjustment. Cool.

[@benfox8709]

Am I the only one who was secretly hoping Scott was giving these away? 😂😂

[@eliotmccann2589]

Give it a couple of weeks...

[@marvinmarin4836]

more power i keep on learning because of you thanks

[@NotThatOneThisOne]

Are these the real reason you're giving away your custom shop? My Mrs tries to make me do the same.

[@ellis6670]

Hey! When are you going to test play a Mattisson? They're quite awesome. You should have one :)!

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

Can you tell me where you get your gloves from please :).

[@nancydoane7864]

I got mine from Amazon. Make sure you measure your finger as directed they need to be snug!

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

@@nancydoane7864 Thanks. I did not know he wore them for medical reasons until I watched some older videos. I feel kinda bad now , I thought it might help with sliding and playing with less hurting your fingers.

[@camillemaquillage]

anything in your hands looks good !

[@bustabass9025]

Won an Ibanez Mezzo in a bass giveaway earlier. It sounds great, by comparison looks like the same scale, rivals the sound I'm hearing here, and Lord knows it didn't cost $5-7.5 grand! To each his own I guess.😕

[@phillyhank8726]

Beautiful basses sir. I was the one that asked you on IG about the dead spot on the fender and i see that you kinda Touched on the head mass n sound issue. I was wondering if maybe you make a little more indepth video about this issue. Just a FYI i ordered the fender "fat finger" and it is working wonderfully. While i waited for it to arrive a used a spring loaded capo and it worked wonders.

[@fasihmunir9858]

This is why you are giving those other ones away cheeky bugger

[@Sindig0]

I'm guessing that's how the purchase got past the missus. At least, that's how it would go in my house. :)

[@kadourimdou43]

But do they go up to Eleven? Maybe the weights change the sound waves traveling through the body of the Bass or something

[@alabalaportocala29]

I think it just helps balance the bass better

[@sansocie]

Nice. Thanks again

[@Empyrean55]

Absolutely fantastic basses!

[@williamcampbell7387]

The maple board is darker, and the rosewood board is darker? He must have built them wrong. Master luthier my ....

[@samuelc2399]

Great video man!!! Keep up the good work! 🙂🙂👌👌

[@RickThatcher]

give one of these away too! :P seriously though, congrats on your new 2x new bass day! you've almost single-handedly revived my love of the bass.

[@roberterickson8331]

Great idea about the bass show, The bases you have been giving away are the best maybe a Rickenbacker something like that too. Keep up the good work I like your KZbin videos. 🎶 🎙 🎩. Robert

[@jn1894]

Can't wait!!!!

[@fenderfetish]

Nice looking axes...does Paul Turner still use his? Also, do they have that neck join/fretboard dip issue that fenders have?

[@Smauli]

Holy shit I didnt know Tom was Finnish. I've seen his basses before and they look amazing

[@johncab22]

Nice Basses there Scott, REALLY like the white one in particular!! 😉 How much does one of them set you back then? (Not that I could afford one anyway). Just curious. 😀

[@sherwinparker9031]

Can you do another video on how much basses u own please

[@Marekki2202]

the weight thing is like the little weights in those pro gamer mouses, right?

[@bassmonk2920]

This makes sense...

[@saulo8717]

beautiful sound nice explanation

[@Lithuania8634]

Scott is slowly losing his sanity

[@hellsdeathmachine]

Good vid as always scott

[@damank.k3835]

Hey Scott,what’s the price of those two Bases??? 🙂 didn’t hear you mentioning the price 🙃

[@kevinlynch2248]

Daman Kharkamni From what Ive seen, Tom’s basses run between $5500.00 and $7500.00.

[@devinebass]

@@kevinlynch2248 Yeah, they're defo at the top end of bass prices - I've seen them going for anything between 6000 to 10,000 Euro's... so around the same price bracket as Fodera's.

[@aspyr5681]

They sound very fluid and moderately farty, which is awesome!

[@SiamOnBASS]

this will be a good bass for small size bass players like me

[@icfhicyrus6683]

When you say alder body I think youre saying older body!

[@reiniervanzwieten7092]

I'll be honest i didn't like that wood coloured one but that white one sounds so nice!

[@loganwatterson7308]

so with one of the settings being a quieter, less aggressive sound, is the humbucker a tapped pickup for the entire humbucker with the ability to split into either single coil? (before i get "tapped and split are the same!" they aren't tapped is essentially stopping the winding on the pickup part way through to provide an option with less windings, splitting is actually being able to turn a humbucker into a single coil...ish.

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

I want to test those double j, is there some cheaper way to buy one like that?

[@LCA1985]

Rosewood's freatboard sounds better imo. Better defined and solid mids.

[@rogeliooviedo5985]

Details matters in performance

[@christenmorris8802]

What's the name of the pick- ups?

[@steveward6185]

All very well but a lot of the generated sound is interpreted in your head. So if you think something will sound different then it will. There have been many blind studies done and even experts fail to spot differences if they are not able to see the instrument. You generally purchase a new bass because you want another!

[@kevinlynch2248]

Tom makes the best sounding, sexiest basses in the world!!

[@christopherfiorentino6552]

Sweet duo

[@thijs199]

You overloaded the master of your editing software or mic?

[@devinebass]

I know... too much groove, lol :P

[@tjb.8802]

Dream bass!!

[@southsidejohnny5624]

Anyone notice the "Only Fools & Horses" reference? For UK viewers of a certain age.

[@justincase3360]

It's great how you give away all this gear, but how about a little love for us lefties?

[@sorenaa]

Justin Case That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking each and every time Scott gives away stuff, but I never dared to be a whiner, so thanks for being one😘! I’m not really into the Fodera-marzipan-marshmallow-and-mother of pearl-business, but these two Fenders (or the Finnish ones) though... Throw us a bone, Scott!

[@PhilipSaucier]

I swear there’s an enveloppe filter on the maple one

[@zachmikkablair9537]

U can definetly hear the difference with the weight imo. When I heard it in he first bass it sounded a lil warmer. A lil smoother imo. Idk how to explain it. Its lil the difference in a wood bodied acoustic guitar and a steel body just not as drastic. Both of these r amazing. U dont have to lie, we know what u did for those basses 😉 Hahaha

[@kjohnstin]

Same strings??

[@jpined14]

Hey Scott! Lemme win your Moollon!!!

[@DonBrockplus]

Hello Scott, just a tiny l correction, I'd say Birdseye maple on the fingerboard, as far as I can see with my old grey eyes :) These basses are awesome, I tried one in the local shop called Bass Buddha :) www.tomstenback.com

[@kuyaferds8715]

Though twas a fodera. Wonderful bass!

[@krzyss4212]

Im in love

[@mopdigglyderg4827]

Still no bonus codes sent to my email to enter the comp on SBL.

[@Auto_Funk]

I'll be honest, I'm not sold on those weights.... Nice looking bass though :)

[@groovaholic80222]

My main bass is VERY light and was just a bit neck heavy -- I stuck a big wad of plumbing epoxy to the back of the electronics cavity cover to counterbalance it. Not sure about any tonal benefits, but it will definitely affect the balance.

[@matthewashley2924]

How much did they cost tho?

[@jarreddean9054]

They look sick

[@Jedmanuel91]

You can clearly hear the difference between both basses.

[@lethaljellybean]

oh look at me stuck with my warped squier :(

[@lowtone9]

How are they strung, dude?

[@alabalaportocala29]

Wow, so I clicked this video and found out about the giveaway. I literally submitted my application 13 seconds before the registration ended. Coincidence? I think not
