Despite the odd body shape, it's actually a really fun bass to play. I sat down and played every single bass SVS brought to NAMM, to include my 7 string multiscale. I saw a few people from this site that recognized the bass and made a point of having them try it for themselves. Literally every...
It's actually dead flat on top, the strings sizes are just so drastically different that it looks weird. Doesn't bother me any, it does its job. I think it would look weird if it was filed down
No problems with either the string spacing or the pickups! :) And yep, LED side dots!
And yeah, the case was pretty upsetting. It caused a lot of dents and dings, like on the back bevel.
And funny enough, I'm actually trading the thunderbird for another version of this bass hahah my...
Oh and the nut looks weird because it's cut flat on the top and there's a huge difference in size between the top and bottom strings. It's less weird in person and doesn't cause any issues because of the zero fret
So if you were following the build thread, this got way more attention than I thought it would and apparently this was a highly anticipated arrival for more than just me. So after playing around with the bass for the last few days, here is the long awaited, NBD.
I'll start off with the...
I actually got to play around with this thing at NAMM last year, it was pretty ridiculous to say the least. You could hear each individual cycle of the G#. For being a 40in scale length, the bass was surprisingly playable and the strings weren't super stiff at all. It was really weird actually...
I'll probably put one up tonight. I wanted to do a proper photoshoot for it, but I'll probably do that later when I have more time. My phone has a 1080p camera so it'll manage pretty decent pictures. So far the more I play this thing, the more I love it. There are some minor discrepancies that...
Got it today, I couldn't be more happy with the bass. I'm gonna take a few days to play with it and get comfortable with it before posting a review so I can soak in all the details on this thing.
I'm really curious though. I feel like a lot of this is just bitching to feel important. Now, if one of you feels like you can do this better, point me in the direction of someone that can build this bass "right". It has to be this body with these specs and inlay for under $3k.
Still alive, wasn't aware that there was this much attention here. Patience, it ships monday. There's been issues getting strings because the fan is so wide. We've gotten two different sets that were both wrong so hopefully the third time is the charm. To everyone that's being supportive, thank...
So this monster ships on monday. I should have her by wednesday or so, and then a whole lot of madness will really begin. I know for a fact this bass will hold up and be a solid touring bass for decades to come, so I'm not terribly worried. I won't bore you with my rants so I'll just get on to...
For the actual sweep motions on the right hand, I like using the knuckle of my thumb to sweep down and my index finger to sweep up. I'm still getting all this down as well. I learned most of my stuff from watching Jeff from Brain Drill and Scott from Viramea. Both are absolute monsters
