THE PERFECT $1000 BASS COLLETION

[@soundman1402]

I adore my Yamaha BB735a! I call it my "monster of the deep" because it's got such an amazing deep bass tone that envelops you like a warm hug. I was able to set its action nice and low without any fret buzz, so it's really easy to play. I'm never getting rid of this bass!

[@piratebasscaptain]

For me the best bass at 1000 is the HumanBase Roxy4 ! Amazing bass with great work on it + electronics

[@cedricleborgne8229]

agree with you, the best bass I played, better than 2000$ basses

[@gmkbass]

I own a single cut BTB846, and the thing is a pure monstrosity. It doesn't have as big of a bass boom as my Warwick, but the overall grit and tone is just amazing, especially when downtuned. In normal tuning, the tonal characteristics are surprisingly warm with that "Ibanez crisp" treble.

[@JoeDinsdale]

I've been blown away by schecters recently, got their P4 Exotic and recently a J4 in seafoam and they're incredible. Also first p and jazz style basses I've owned.

[@GianmarioScotti]

I do like the 0-fret design of the Cort Elrick. These are very rare nowadays

[@tmcwilliam01]

Ibanez has been keeping them alive as well.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I agree! I wish Musicman would jump on it too 💪

[@GianmarioScotti]

@@tmcwilliam01 I know of no current production Ibanez bass with a 0-fret, and would love to be educated on the issue. Please do tell which Ibanez basses have 0 frets, my initial googling yielded nothing.

[@piratebasscaptain]

Check HumanBase

[@tmcwilliam01]

@@GianmarioScotti their current BTBs for example the BTB845

[@armignac]

Saw this for guitars on the thomann channel. Of course you do it for bass now ^^ Nice!

[@michaelkeefer4293]

I enjoy these collection series videos. Moving forward, how about doing complete pedal boards within an established budget? Every pedal board in each budget range should at minimum have a Tuner, compressor and a preamp/DI. Need to include cost of pedal board, cables and power supply. I think this could be very interesting and help bass players that are contemplating building their own pedal board.

[@jmsblckhll]

I am very happy with my $900 fender Japan Aerodyne PJ. Great tone, plays like a dream.

[@jazzman1954]

Thanks for remembering the neck dive thing and saying that budget basses are perfectly usable in the real world of making music even at a top professional level.

[@juanjan__]

I have the Sire Marcus Miller D5 you showed and I LOVE IT 🙂 For under 1000 euros I'd love to have the Epiphone Jack Casady

[@sira.scottascot8865]

I recently bought an Aria Pro ll 313 MK-2 Detroit and though it required a little nut work, is unbelievable for around 5 bills. Super tight build, great balance and weight, and really has an authoritative bark. I've had it for a few months now and it's just as good, if not as fancy, as anything I've played, but gets many extra points for being a unique Fender alternative with much more to offer. A more articulate p/j with 24 frets and that Aria Pro ll SB style body hangs perfect. Roasted, light satin finish, not a sharp edge on it. Really simple and solid. The neck has been a rock even in my drafty Northern Minnesota apartment.

[@sira.scottascot8865]

Digital tortoise pickguard sucks. 😆 That's my only complaint.

[@ozzyodd]

I got a 800 € Bass collection. A music man ray 34 (500 € on eBay) and a fenix by young chang jazz bass (300 € on eBay) I put flats on the jazzbass and im very happy with the versatility of my little collection :)

[@Scoots1994]

Yay! A mention of my G&L L2000! Also have a Sire V7, a lawsuit MIJ EB3, a MIM Fender P-bass, and a Hofner Acoustic.

[@marck7270]

+1 for yamaha, cort, sire and g&l I snapped up a tribute L2000 when andertons sold them off in spring 23 ... sub 500 euros new shipped to the doorstep ... what a bass this is

[@richardcautorina5190]

I was lucky and pleasantly surprised to come across a used 1982 Gibson Victory Bass Bolt on , Comfortable neck , Rosewood, Small frets and amazing versatile pick up Mine and very happy Would love to hear Lars rip on it for sure !

[@timedwards5600]

Thnx guys from Arizona.

[@ianchisholm9260]

My Sandberg Electra VS4 .. bought it 12 years ago , and still play it often

[@hippiemark01]

As an idea, could you maybe do a small selection of which basses (and amps and even pedals) are good at second hand prices.

[@josephromano7867]

i bought a cort /elrick and love it thanks so much

[@kenmathews4522]

I definitely want a Cort Elrick! I also like the Yamaha! A really good one I picked up used was a Washburn Taurus. I play it everyday!

[@Suthrnfried]

I love my Fender Meteroa. You can find them under $1000 on reverb or $1200 new.

[@marccarter1350]

I saw that Cort bass at my Local Music Store. Its a great piece of kit!

[@adityabali1939]

You should look into Fame basses. Handmade in Gdansk, Poland and they are under €1000

[@simon_plays_bass]

You got it right with the G&L L2000 Tribute.

[@timedwards5600]

I'm German American and it seems bass is in our DNA

What happened to the Ibanez SR600E-AST from the video thumbnail? No mention in the video.

[@thulsa_doom]

09:01 I have that bass! Purchased it 4 years ago (exactly on 19.03.2020, just checked my invoice haha) for 387€. That's a beast of an instrument, for its price. Highly recommend it!

[@ГеоргийАдмиральский]

There was a time then you could buy an ovation magnum I or III, it's the best for it's price

[@cedricleborgne8229]

the guild starfire I is awesome, great built quality, wonderfull sound, fun and easy to play

[@SonerAktas]

wer ist the Fender player series Jazz bass Mexico :D

[@zulu5157]

1k two 4 String basses: Definetly one Ibanez Soundgear bass, the neck is for me still one of the best for playing fast stuff. And one from Yamaha in a PJ Configuration. Both companies have absolut solid and good quality. Better than some Fender high price basses. Regarding the price the Fender quality control is a shame! My second hand perci is okay. I saw Fender Instruments in shops where i couldn't believe my eyes.

[@mikematthews5890]

Man, I was just getting ready to say Yamaha BB734A/BB7345A and ya beat me to it. Yamahas Basses are fan (f'n) tastic: quality, sound, and price ya can't go wrong!

[@felixweber6593]

My pick would be : Sadowsky Metroexpress 21 Vintage and a Harley Benton Enhanced MJ-4EB 😊

[@leandrogasperotti3333]

Nice collections man! I like the 3rd no just because of the money (?)

[@ggates2500]

What is this tune around 8:30 ???

[@stanislavk447]

Schechter CV5, Cort A4 - great bass for it price

[@JimBassplayer]

have you tried the fender junior jazz bass? MIJ Short scale Jazz

[@KozmykJ]

What would I get for a Thousand Bucks ? Marcus Miller M7 5 String Harley Benton HB-60 Epiphone EB-3 I got the Harley Benton Beat Bass specifically get that early ‘thonk’ Macca tone. While rather liking the tone with the bundled roundwounds, I went and put Pyramid flats on it as intended. A month later I put the rounds back on. Much nicer sound to my ear. I MAY at some point put some flats on my P or J, or I may just put some damping foam under the rounds as required. The HB Ukulele bass IS great fun. I may have to reset the nut on mine because the open string tunings don’t match the fretted notes. The nut on mine is leaning forward a little. I got a Marcus Miller V7 years ago, 2017. It’s Great. My goto bass is my Modulus Q5, she covers most ground. The rest are for funzies

[@thomasbraun158]

The best sub $1000 base I have ever played is my Sire P7 5 string. I have other basses that are much more expensive, but my Sire keeps up with most of them.

[@pascalphilosopher4237]

A used Spector Rebop is great and can sometimes be found in this price range

[@avital2166]

Fender rumble studio 40 & squire contemporary jazz 5 🎉🎉🎉

[@jakobweber8117]

For 1k i would recommend to check out the Human Base Roxy B4 and B5 Models. I had one for years, palyed over 200 Concerts with it. It was a good fit.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Those are great! 👍

[@cedcobasse]

Two amazing basses around 1000 euros for me are Godin shifter and human base roxy, both better than 2000 euros basses. Lag basses are excellent too. Tribe bass and guild starfire are great too, better than my other basses (ibanez, fender us, Yamaha, sandberg) but not as good as Godin, lag and human base

[@mrpositronia]

I have the Schecter SLS Elite 4. It's fully kitted with Fishman Fluance pickups, ebony fretboard, stainless steel frets and a very well manufactured through-neck design. Mind you, I think it has gone up in price over the last year. So it probably doesn't count.

[@mrpositronia]

@@tmbrwn Maybe that's why. I just bought it because of its specs, plus it looks pretty cool and worth every penny.

[@davidrios8408]

I would go for the Fender Deluxe MIM.

[@glenndjubilee]

I am getting a 90's era Peavey Cirrus5 string for $1300 w/original hardshell case

[@40_BluntsYT]

if i was to get my current bass collection to $1000 id get a jackson js3qm i love the look of jacksons and they sound pretty good. i already have a rockbass corvette my brother bought for me used for about $500 and a gio 200 that i got for $220. as for a single $1000 bass id go for a brand new corvette standard or an ehb ibanez

I have a Squire late 50s vibe p-bass, which is amazing for around 500$

Do they make a Lefty?

[@CheapMessiah]

If second hand basses are allowed, a used korean lakland skyline 55-01, upgrade pickups to nordstrand zen blades, thats an insane bass for the money.

[@henrik-gerdbischoff6204]

What post processing do you use at the bass tracks? It sounds not like a clean DI input but a bit like a 1176 compressor with all buttons pushed or an Amp with cab and a parallel DI?

[@chris2fur401]

Warwick rockbass’s are great for the money.

[@TheChrist117]

I was a little disappointed not to hear the fretless at the end of the video - some dodgy editing? Nonetheless, always nice to be reminded of what's out there, in different price ranges. Thanks for the review.

[@julien.biardeau]

Just tried an ibanez btb 845 and it was awesome, but since I initially thought I would need the multi scale btb in order to play prog/djent and tune down to G or F#, I was wondering if this 35" btb 845 could do the job? And in the same time, be more versatile for other genres (easier to play high chords etc).. What do you guys think?

[@EnergyChasms]

For G or F# on a 35" I would recommend using significantly thicker strings, which may require filing the nut. However, I personally much prefer a 37" for keeping those low tunings extra tight, as I don't particularly like strings thicker than .145 You could also go the Meshuggah route, and tune your E string to F, keeping your B string, or even giving yourself a low A. There's also the digitech drop, which is a great pedal and plenty of touring bassists in the djent/metalcore scene use it.

[@julien.biardeau]

@@EnergyChasms Thx a lot for your answer! Yeah I'm not sure to be down for really thick strings.. I think it's a matter of how comfortable I am on a multi scale then, but they're impossible to find in shops here in France! So maybe it will end up as a mix of 35", a bit thicker strings and a drop pedal.. Oh well x)

[@EnergyChasms]

@@julien.biardeau Good luck! The drop pedal is less fun than a new bass, but it can be a money/life saver, and if you set everything up correctly, it will sound incredible!

[@ggates2500]

What is this song around 8:30??

[@adventuresofmooseandthidwi3166]

Michael Kelly, Fender Aerodyne, Ibanez SDR600...

[@davem6189]

The G&L L-2000 has got an active circuit. Nevertheless it can be switched to passive Mode 😀

[@matthewellwood979]

Great video! Thanks! You kinda made a collection with my current 2 bass combo in the 1000 bucks range. Sire P5-4 and Sterling Stingray 25CA. A 4 and 5 string combo, lovely sounds and so much possibility. Love these two together. I haven’t found a situation where they don’t fit.

Yikes Dude! I played that Ibanez 605 this weekend at the store. It was horrific. The for and finish was terrible with pain buldges and cracks and the fret ends were super sharp and uneven. The single piece build made it loud and throaty but it was literally junk. I wouldn't pay $200 for it... It was selling for $1800CAD lol why is this in this video??????

[@markwarner5554]

Whatever it sounds like, the Thunderbird is too big, too heavy, to uncomfortable to use, and absolutely hideous to look at. Hard pass. For around 1k, I'd probably go for an Ibanez SRMS806 or SRH505.

[@GianmarioScotti]

LOL, I never could get over the looks of the Thunderbird, either. Hideous is the right word to describe it, but you know, people have different tastes.
