Grabbing a Brice Defiant 6 unless one of you convinces me not to

Kronpox · 10-11-2007, 03:55 AM

Here's a brief synopsis of my situation

I've wanted a 6-string bass for years, ever since I first got into Dream Theater (and alas, it's about the only part of their influence that actually stuck

). I've played 5s otherwise, from an SX BG-205 to my current bass, a Traben Chaos 5. I love my Traben as far as playability and sound go, but it's not a 6-string.

I also don't play bass as often as I used to. I used to play all the time as I was playing bass for a band, but now I'm playing guitar for two other bands and the band I play bass for is falling apart. We're playing a show for Hallowe'en, and I want to grab a Brice Defiant 6 for the show just so I can shred a hole in the wall. Realistically, I probably shouldn't get it. the $300 could be put towards the floorboard for my Vetta and make my guitar rig, which is more important, fully functional. But I also have a decent source of disposable income so money isn't really an issue.

Basically I just need for you guys to throw your opinions of the Defiant 6 at me, preferably from those whom have played it. What I really want to determine is that, if I get it, will it be a lesser-quality novelty that I bring out for shows when I want to get widdly, or can it stand up to the Traben that I love and offer me a variety of good tones and extended range?

This was a 4-in-the-morning ramble but I figure you guys are smart enough to understand what I'm asking. I just hope someone here has played one.

Did you get that Defiant 6? If you did, how is it? Im curious about that one too. Seems its out of stock right now though so Im thinkin about this one instead

I have that one.

It wins.

I'm amazed that they're still offering it at that price... one of the sexiest things I've ever played, by a long shot. Those tops are gorgeous beyond belief, grab it before every other fucker I've told to get one beats you to it.

Haha, yeah thats one beautiful bassguitar to almost no cost at all. I'll decide later today. I'll probably buy it

lmao where were you guys when I made the thread?

I never got the Defiant because of the same reason as you- it's out of stock- Kurt said that he expects it back this spring/summer so we'll see.

JBroll · 05-11-2008, 10:10 AM

I missed it, sorry... but I'm pretty sure I had gotten it and posted the necessary picstory by the time you had posted this, so I could try to find it for you if you can't...

I already have been over your thread a few times Jeff, it was one of the main contributors to the original GAS

JBroll · 05-11-2008, 12:59 PM

It's even sexier than you'd think it is. I'd have put more in but I was too busy tinkering with it...

I can't comment on the HXB as I've never played one
