STUNNING AFFORDABLE MULTISCALE BASS !!

[@robertp457]

Good to see Phil Rehm again. Saw him at the Dingwall European tour in Franfurt and it was a great experience, very skilled player!

[@innocentoctave]

At 1:50 Gregor mentions 'the B string'. I assume this was a slip for 'the E string' - this isn't a B E A D -tuned bass. The G4M site lists the strings as 45-105 gauge. The five-string version extends the fanned scale from 35.5" to 36.25" to accommodate a low B, which as supplied is a standard 135 gauge string.

[@gabormeszaros2435]

Regarding the chunky neck feel: I think extra long scale necks need to be thicker and wider than their 34" scale counterparts to prevent twisting or S-curve. In addition, this particular bass model does not have graphite neck inserts which could give some support to the wood itself.

[@francoishtzl157]

@@gabormeszaros2435 I have a Dingwall, neck is pretty thin (with carbon inserts)

[@bmstylee]

I've got a Kiesel multi scale 6 string and it's similar in feel to a multi scale 6 string Ibanez.

[@FooVines]

the fist 13 seconds of playing are just.. wow!!!

[@joecasa85]

Wow! I liked every single aspect of this bass! And I'm a chuky neck guy also, especially on basses. The only con comes from the fact that since it comes from UK, I will have to pay import taxes to get it here in Italy, so at the end it won't be as convenient as it seems at first glance.

[@KryZehk]

I got one (I live in Spain) and didn't have to pay any import taxes.

I ordered a guitar from their .ie site a few years ago, it was shipped from Sweden to Ireland.

Esiste Gear4music anche dall’ Italia e, se non erro, senza costi di spedizione oltre a una certa cifra.

Isn't this previously released as the redsub colosseum?

@@CHEWYCHEWYQQ yep

[@eb303b]

Coliseum actually, but yes. I have the 5 strings version. Not sure if they made any changes, but I had to change the electronics on mine 2 years after buying it because they died.

[@steffomca762]

​@@eb303bThe newest models are now made in China instead of being crafted in Vietnam, but other than that, no changes at all. I have the 6 string version, swapped the pickups for a set of EMG 45DCs and a Darkglass Tone Capsule, and the tuning pegs with Gotoh GB350 Res 'O Lite

[@Buckers2202]

This seems quite nice but I'm excited for a Harley Benton multi scale bass!

[@arthurbrucecrawford6896]

Is it still coming, been waiting for 2 years and to be honest, I kinda lost hope, as they are solely focusing on guitars now.

[@gavinjones3637]

I love the idea of this bass and I even like the look. However, even in the video, I can see that the bridges are not correctly aligned, which does not inspire me with confidence. I had the same issue on a Harley Benton bass. After changing the bridges, aligning it correctly, (levelling and dressing the frets at the same time) it now plays like a dream.

[@KryZehk]

I got a 5 string on January of this year, and it had electronical issues, the strings that came with the bass were awful, and the neck felt really uncomfortable. The electronics also were really bad. Tbh I can only recommend this if you're planning on upgrading it. The tuners were also really bad

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Dingwall style bass on a budget? Exactly what the market needed right now :)

[@francoishtzl157]

Doesn't really share anything with a Dingwall actually

[@Mr.Goldbar]

​@@francoishtzl157 It's multiscale and the pickup locations are definitely NG2 inspired

[@LMaia14]

@@francoishtzl157 You don't think it resembles a D-Roc?

[@francoishtzl157]

@@Mr.Goldbar yeah but Ibanez and other do that kind of multiscale too. It is not really a super long scale. Also, Dingwall pickup position is closer to the bridge and both pickups are closer than that That look more like a Warwick thumb with soapbar pickups

[@KillerFridge]

They've been around for a while now, and they're a bit rubbish - if you've ever owned a G4M instrument you know what you're getting

[@bsa2025]

Looks like a bass for a diy projects

[@57precision]

Mom, can we have a Dingwall D-Roc? No, we have one at home.

[@osXcanada]

To all builders of basses, please stop putting the fret markers at the top of the neck, they need to be closer to the bottom….

[@markwarner5554]

That bass wants to be headless.

[@bmstylee]

Headless basses are an acquired taste. I own one and it's nice. It can be a pain to tune with the tuning pegs on the bridge. It definitely turns heads though when you show up with it. If I ever buy another one it will probably have a headstock.

[@petougao]

I saw a solution for that.

[@tiltil9442]

​@@petougao sharp one!

[@Swindrim.]

Please try the 6 string version!

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👍👌

[@D14V0R05]

Oh man, I wish that you reviewed the 6 string model instead.

[@chuckiemiguelbacolod8558]

Im too poor to be watching this video

[@gabrielesquaratti5709]

they sound like crap tbh

[@ramilshakirov33]

Ну по крайней мере есть нижняя середина. На многих бас гитарах низ и верх. Да, чуть не хватает низа, это конечно плохо

[@zulu5157]

It is somehow a harley benton bass without being a harley benton bass

[@Sir_P]

It’s the same idea, an in-house brand, that’s about it

[@bmstylee]

​​@@Sir_PI'm guessing it's probably something they buy white label and put their logos on. Not an uncommon practice. In my experience gym equipment and a lot of binoculars and rifle scopes are basically the same but with different logos until you get into the higher end products. Even then not always.

[@andrewmccombs7347]

I don't like this. It's unnecessary. I'm frightened.

[@roopekanerva5606]

One UGLY looking bass And I like a lot of different modern and vintage looking designs etc, but this ain't it. I appreciate these videos though, thank you.

[@Vossst]

I thin the neck looks pretty nice. Honestly just a different look for the pickup covers would go a long way.
