hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Couldn’t really get anymore disco unless it had flashing LED’s as well. I’d like to try one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Wow, that's posh! I love the bound and dotted fingerboard and the sparkle finish, but I'm not a fan of all the chrome. It's a bit too much for me It sounds great though, in her video! The pickguard looks almost black in some shots, that might actually suit it better to my liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the chrome would pick up lots of finger prints and you'd be forever cleaning it. Edited September 12 by Bobo_08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 77 Precision in blue that has a mirror pg on it and never found it to be all that bad for fingerprints, but I guess everyone plays differently so it could well be an issue for some.

I did see something on SBL about her, but totally ignored it, like I do with a lot of their content. I’m guessing that if she looked like Bella Emberg (Google it), then nobody would give a monkeys who she was. The bass isn’t my bag aesthetically, but I’m an old man who likes Thunderbirds, so what do I know about any of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Some people don't like the high price for an MIM, but wasn't the Milky Way MIM Jazz bass $1,500? $1,500 or $1,600 is what people should expect to pay for MIM signature basses, whether it's Blu DeTiger, Mono Neon, Mikey Way, Mike Kerr, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Mack Weakly or any of the big-name bassists of today. Other than that, both basses look better than anything you can put together on the Fender KCS. And let's not forget, they didn't add $100 to $150 to the price of the new Player series basses, so this new Jazz bass isn't exactly a money grab.

We were asked what upcoming bassists should get a Bass Player Magazine feature way back and Blu got a front cover piece, deservingly. Other than being a great song writer for her genre, Blu definitely knows how to craft an inspired bass line, citing James Jamerson and other calssic bassists as an influence. So, gets my vote. I'd like a nice jazz bass and this one would be quite close to my penchant for shiny finishes ha ha!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 That's gorgeous. never heard of Ms DeTiger before but she has superb taste in basses. I'm only glad her taste doesn't extend to maple/blocks (blue sparkly blocks for preference) or I would be placing an order right now. As it is I'll cross my fingers for a cheapo Squier version in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted Sunday at 13:28 Share Posted Sunday at 13:28 Haven't heard of her before, seems a solid player, signature model worthy? Not sure. Looked her up and found out two things, one of which was a bit of an "ohhh" moment, and the other was shock. 1. She's a TikTok star, one of those who made Covid their career boost, so fair enough. 2. That isn't a stage name, she's actually called that The bass sounds nice enough, love a sparkle finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Freeman has a new touring Precision bass that he had Fender knock together for him (based on an American Pro II) and it too has a chambered body to add resonance and remove weight. Also, not 100% sure, but I thought I read that Keanu Reeves has a chambered body on a couple of his P basses too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted Tuesday at 08:04 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:04 Does seem to be a thing that more companies are taking note of, a real plus point imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
