visog Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Loving the new wave of semi-acoustic sixes... with their whumpy arch-top attack... Here's John Patitucci with a Yamaha one: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrW8QdWZbxY#t=39"]https://www.youtube....rW8QdWZbxY#t=39[/url] And here's Thundercat (disappointingly actually called Steven) tearing it up on an Ibanez one, especially around 2:10: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrW8QdWZbxY#t=39"]https://www.youtube....rW8QdWZbxY#t=39[/url] Both look similar kinds of models competing for the same market space... love to know how much? Details anyone? Or what about other makers with similar models? Edited March 21, 2015 by visog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Apparently it's a custom-made Artcore and like John Patitucci's Yamaha is a 'one off' and not likely to be a production. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/thundercats-new-ibanez-6-string.984240/page-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blablas Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Like most other active electric bases, you don't really hear it's a hollow body, at the most it has a little bit more warmth in the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
