All the ones he seems to be playing have more than 4 strings so not proper basses anyway.

There's a difference between a genuine typo mistake and continually typing the same rather annoying ' ,, ' after every single word you type! You don't NEED to do that, it actually takes you longer to type all these needless ' ,, ' over and over again than it would just to use a single comma. Apparently its due to 'years of drum programming'... not sure what that has to do with the same ' ,, ' appearing a thousand times in every one of your posts though!

Just look forward to the video. I can't wait 😂

Well that chaos doesn't bear much resemblance to a controlled scientific test.

But...

The fact that everything else has to be carefully matched and many people still struggle to hear the differences doesn't prove that wood doesn't contribute to tone, but does emphasise how much more important other factors are.

Arghhh!!

Run Away!

TL/DR. haven't watched the whole video, but has anyone mentioned that the method of recording the audio was never ever going to reveal the tonal differences clearly between the instruments, I can hear just a huge amount of room modes interfering with the captured sound. 

 

That said, I rather like the look of these basses and if nothing else will let my curiosity find some more videos of them elsewhere. So, job well done in that respect.

You know @Bean9seventy my mother tongue is French. Do I write in French for that reason ?

I seem to have stumbled onto bass cat.

Érudits est la bonne orthographe, car il s'agit d'un masculin pluriel. Et je ne considère pas la cédille manquante sous le c de ça comme une faute, car, étant une majuscule, cette première n'est pas obligatoire, mais aurait eut l'avantage de faciliter la lecture.

Oh good, we're now arguing about French Grammar - in French! 🙄

Mon clavier n'a pas cette option, et j'ai la phlegme de chercher dans des caractères spéciaux. Ca ne fait que montrer des pièges à cons à rédiger dans une langue étrangère.

Un racine commun avec phlegmatique, non..?

Sur l'web, pour flegme, phlegme ...

B.− Au fig., cour., au sing. Caractère d'une personne calme et imperturbable, qui garde son sang-froid en toutes circonstances. Flegme imperturbable; ne pas se départir de son flegme; sortir de son flegme. C'est un homme qui a un grand flegme, qui est d'un grand flegme (Ac.1798-1932).Un ton de voix dont le flegme affecté cachoit la plus violente colère (Balzac, Annette,t. 2, 1824, p. 38).Impassibilité, qui peut aller de la douceur et de la maîtrise de soi à la froideur et au flegme (Mounier, Traité caract.,1946, p. 240).V. chiffre ex. 7 :
2. Il faut aussi convenir que dans la physionomie anglaise il y a un sang-froid, un flegme, qui est le caractère de la nation entière, et qu'on ne saurait rencontrer chez nous... Musset dsLe Temps,1831, p. 36.

Edit : Oui, 'flemme' vient de la même racine, mais usage fait pencher plus vers 'laziness', qui sera plus à propos. Mille excuses, mea culpa.
