Hi guys! Another popular headless bass in my arsenal)

Greetings to all bass VI fans. A question for those who own aluminum necks. Which ones do you have? Please share them in the comments. I'm considering a Hoxey, but it costs over $1,000.

Look at this beautiful dragon eye Ibanez EHB

Hi folks! I’ve made custom ramp for my Ibanez EHB1506ms. It’s fitted very well without any gluing or screws. It’s not final variant, but 100% functionally!

I feel like Tetsuo doesn't get brought up enough in the conversation around the GOATs. Great technique, great band, and in my opinion one of the best. Check out Casiopea if you're unfamiliar. Who had the VHS back in the day?

Hi guys! I’ve spend some money for a new bass. It’s my third headless bass, and first six-string bass.

Hey everyone! I recently became the proud owner of an Ibanez EHB 1506ms BIF, and here are my observations over the past few days. This is my first six-string bass (not counting the Squier VI). On the very first day, I had a problem with the thinnest C string slipping out of the toplock. The toplock had cut through the wrapping, and the bare cord was no longer held in place and was starting to slip out. I didn't have a spare thin string, so I doubled the G string and got a natural chorus. Also, when tuning the BEADGG bass, it's convenient to play dissonances on the thin strings, which can be useful when playing heavier genres. Today I received a thin string as a gift, and I decided to fold it a few times to make it more secure in the toplock. Remember this life hack, EHB owners. Also, the friend who gave me the thin string suggested I buy a custom-made thin C string from Elixir and then buy five-string sets. What do you think about these life hacks?

Today's topic is the Cort Artisan Space 5.

I recently played an instrument from this series, and here's my humble review:

Neck 8/10 The neck is comfortable, made from a pile of heat-treated wood. The frets are well-finished from the factory. There's a heel on the headstock, which is very good. Kiesel couldn't boast of this until recently, even though they cost an order of magnitude more. Steinberger is no different.

Body 9/10 I'll immediately note the extremely convenient cutaway with excellent access to all the frets, which is definitely a plus. The body overall is very comfortable, symmetrical, and will sit well on any stand, unlike, for example, a jazz bass. The only thing I didn't like was the edges of the top; it looks especially odd on the horns.

Electronics 6/10 The pickups sound decent, but the preamp was disappointing. Firstly, it doesn't have a middle stop on the potentiometers. Secondly, it's too sharp. It can be turned off, but in passive mode, the bass doesn't have a tone knob.

Hardware 7/10 On the plus side, the bridge is very nice. The tuners are easy to grip and turn comfortably, not too soft, but not too tight either. On the minus side, the toplock is simply awful. The quality of the toplock and its construction are incomparable to the bridge. Even the finish quality is different.

Overall rating 7/10 A good working instrument for under $1,000. A good base for future upgrades. In the future, I'd like to see a few more finish options for these instruments, as well as a version without a top and with passive electronics.
