Like the thunder of the gods indeed, even on crappy headphones. Nice.

 

[Big Poppa]

Thanks Ed...DId you get a chance to mess with the EQ? That baby has a lot of personalities

 

[azzy_wazzy]

Hey Ed that was great! Reminds me that I need to order some of your instructional stuff that everyone has been raving on about!!!

[leftymike]

Thanks ED. Great review.

 

[EBMM7181]

That bass is amazing - sounds awesome

Nice review Ed - Nice playing

PS - Is that really you in the picture........haha!?!

 

[adouglas]

I am reminded once again that I am a ham-handed, wooden, inarticulate, grabasstic hack when it comes to playing bass.

<*sigh*>

Whenever you get too big for your britches, you should watch a video like this.

Nice playing, Ed!

 

[EBMM7181]

You used to look a lot like Meat Loaf

 

[EdFriedland]

Thanks all. I had fun doing the video.

BP - Yes, I did mess with the EQ a lot. I did show a few variations, but there's a 10 minute limit on YouTube, so I couldn't do everything. I really dig some of the "new" coil options like coils 1 & 4, and 2 & 3. It's a whole 'nutha beast. I think you've nailed it with the tone block, this bass (as well as the two I tried at NAMM) have the best B strings I've found on an SR5.


And yes, that metal looking dude WAS me, 20 years ago. However, I was in COSTUME for the Boston Opera Company's production of Leonard Bernstein's "Mass". Think - Jesus Christ Superstar meets Rush. The wig did blend nicely with the beard, wish I still had it for shock value!

Glad you all enjoyed it. There are some sonic limitations with recording directly in the room from my Mac's iSight camera, one day I hope to figure out how to record the bass direct.

Ed, does your shirt say "low standards"?

I want one.

Tell me how to get one.

 

[KennethB]

HH or HS?....Hmmmmm........I have to decide

 

[stretch80]

The bass sounds great and the player sounds great. Very musical slap..

thanks Ed!

um...those 1st B-string notes make my little sub woofer implode.
HOLY CRAP
