“There's no getting around the fact that it's a bit of an acquired taste, aesthetically": Washburn Scavenger SB4R review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new Scavenger reissue proves that Washburn still has much to offer, even by simply returning to its back catalogue. It's a fun, lightweight, playable instrument with a killer, aggressive P-bass growl. If you like the ‘70s throwback styling, you'll surely enjoy the rest of the package too. Lightweight, playable and would doubtless be lots of fun to thrash around onstage. The satin neck finish looks and feels a little cheap, and the neck-to-body join is clunky. If you're used to Fender ergonom
“It’s staggering that a $329 bass can play like this – I can’t rule out witchcraft being involved”: Sire Marcus Miller V1 review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a relatively new brand, Sire has developed some serious market presence – and on the strength of even this entry-level V1, it’s no mere hype. This bass holds its own against similarly-priced rivals for build quality and sound, but possesses an almighty trump card in its stunning playability. It’s solidly built, comfortably-weighted and gig-ready. The neck feels like it came straight from a bass more than five times the price. Excellent value - undercutting most Squier Jazz models, but not le
"It’s among the most comfortable five-string necks I’ve ever played": Charvel Sleep Token III Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Bass V review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sleep Token’s meteoric rise to stardom made signature instruments fairly inevitable, but Charvel has taken the brief seriously and created a bass that brings an awful lot to the table. Yes, the looks will be polarising, but the playing experience and sonics will be anything but. Absolutely wonderful neck and electrifying playability. The Fishman pickups are massively versatile and deliver superb tones. Good value considering the quality of the design and execution. If you don’t like Sleep Token,
“From a distance, the Light Aged aesthetic isn’t unconvincing. Up close, things are a little different”: Harley Benton PB-62LA review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The PB-62LA is far from the last word in realism as far as that relic job is concerned, but it still looks pretty cool – and it’s a lovely bass, well-built and featuring quality hardware at a knock-down price. Replace that gutless pickup and you’ve a real weapon on your hands. Great hardware for the price - and it’s been quite convincingly aged, too. The relic’ing is good enough that you’ll look cool on-stage with it. Nice authentic Precision-esque playing experience. The pickup is noticeably la
“Every note comes out with abundant punch and clarity. You could immediately slot it into a mix”: Ibanez Mode MDM1300 review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ibanez has come into the modern Jazz Bass-style market for the first time, and pulled it off with quite some aplomb. The Mode series is a class-leading package – an excellent, unique preamp, good looks and the kind of silky-smooth playability that Ibanez fans will know and love. It’s an attractive-looking bass, and one that’s built very well too. The neck and overall playing experience are simply top-notch. The preamp sounds excellent and offers masses of adjustment. Our review sample is quite h
