RedSub Coliseum 6

A rough demo of the Gear4music RedSub Coliseum 6 fanned fret bass.

[@jesusconcristo]

Great video. Could you please tell us if it is a narrow space between strings or normal? Greetings from Switzerland

[@lewisstorer89]

its 18mm string spacing

[@louie8604]

would you say that space between the neck pickup and the fretboard is big enough for slapping there?

[@mattcheckleybass]

Yes the spacing is quite wide.

[@louie8604]

@@mattcheckleybass thank you

[@Lithuania8634]

So what are your thoughts about the fret buzz? I assume itll need a setup out of the box

[@mattcheckleybass]

Setups are personal preference. I like a bit of string buzz when I dig in.

[@FreeformRock]

Do you think the sound is in any way close to the demo they have? I mean using a pick. Cheers

[@mattcheckleybass]

This is the actual bass from the G4M demo. With right strings and setup etc yes.

[@OscarLindbergMusic]

What tuning are you playing in? I'm thinking of buying the 5 stringed version and i will be playing in drop-B, do you think it will handle that low tuning?

[@mattcheckleybass]

This was standard B. With the right strings it could be in F# no problem.

[@brentkilgore5182]

Considering getting one of these guys, either the 5 or 6. Out of box and after a proper setup would you say they're worth the money? I mostly play metal

[@mattcheckleybass]

I think so. Getting decent strings is a must too (Dingwall seems best)

[@Und3adRob]

Would you recommend this for a someones first 6 string bass. Thinking of buying one for myself

[@mattcheckleybass]

They seem to be in back order until December now I'm afraid. It may be delayed again so I'd be looking for something else. If I was looking for a beginner 6 string now maybe an Ibanez GSR206

[@Grazelist]

sounds and looks amazig. how is the weight? is it light or heavy? is it balanced well?

[@mattcheckleybass]

Thanks. Weight is moderate I guess under 10lbs. It's headstock heavy as most guitars of this shape are too. Moving the top strap button is an option but haven't tried that yet.

[@Danny-gr6qn]

Nice! And what is your opinion about it? Is it worth these 350$ (i think it is 350$, don't really remember) or maybe otherwise and it's completely trash?

[@mattcheckleybass]

Totally worth the price. They could have charged £200 more and I wouldn't have felt ripped off.

[@Danny-gr6qn]

@@mattcheckleybass nice. I consider buying this one and I'm kinda not sure becouse of this surprisingly low price and all these featurments like fanned frets, amazing shape and colour, glowing fret-dots and the rest. I was wondering if it sounds totally trash and you pay just for the good look but apparently I was wrong ;) Thanks for your opinion :D

[@SafelandingRecords]

Tuning stability?

[@jesusconcristo]

Great video. Is it too heavy? Is it versatile? I'm a guitar player and I make backing tracks. Greetings from Switzerland

[@mattcheckleybass]

Sorry for late reply. Average weight and moderately versatile, neck dive an issue when playing with a strap on. Oh god that sounded wrong.

[@bajerovaquero]

What a neck diver it looks, otherwise great design.
