Here's an in depth video review and sound demo of my Killer handmade Roger 5 String Jazz bass made by the incredible Luthier Ray Roger.

The bass has an Ash Body with a Cinnamon Imbuia Top (very rare and expensive), 34" scale Maple neck and Fretboard, 19mm Bridge Spacing, 1-7/8" spacing at the Brass nut, Ulyate Single Coil Pickups, Benavente 3 Band 18 volt preamp and weighs in at 10.3 lbs.

I recorded the bass direct through an A-Designs REDDI DI into my Apogee Duet and straight into Logic Audio. The video was recorded with my iPhone 7 at 4k.

This bass also has a fairly new set of DR Pure Blues which I really love.

This is an updated video, originally this bass had completely different electronics and the new pickups and preamp make this bass SING!!!

Here's a great Manne Moab Special Master Grade 5 String Bass. I wanted to do a quick sound demo go this killer bass.

I used my A-Designs REDDI for the direct recording.

Manne Moab Special Specs:

Master grade Italian walnut top over a black Korina body with a beautiful inlay that separates the bookend matched top!

Neck is Manne's signature beech laminate with ash wings, with a thin phenolic fretboard.

Pickups are dual coil soapbars custom built by Manne.

Glockenklang preamp with active/passive switching.

Scale: 34"

Nut Width: 1 31/32" / 49.9mm

String spacing: 18mm

Strap Locks: Dunlop

Weight: 10lbs, 2oz

The build quality is superb, and the sound is very full and even across the entire board. Because of the thin phenolic fret board, there are no dead spots.

I just wanted to have a little groovy fun with my killer Olinto P Bass!! I just set up a drum groove and improvised. This is one of my favorite basses I own.

This bass is strung with La Bella Original 0760M "1954" strings and they are seriously amazing and have Old School TONE for DAYS!! The pickup is a Hand Wound P Bass pickup wound by Mass Hino himself!!!

This bass was hand made by Mas Hino and finished by James Carbonetti.

Olinto audio was recorded through the A-Designs REDDI straight into my Apogee Duet and then to Logic Audio.

The video was shot in 4k with my iPhone.

Steve Araujo and The Bass Hang's Brand New Series!!!

I wanted to showcase the A-Designs Audio KGB II Preamp/DI by playing a couple of basses through it. I used my La Bella Olinto P Bass and Colibri JBT J Bass both strung with DR Strings. I went straight into my Apogee Duet with input set at -10 and recording straight to Logic Audio. I did add some limiting and compression. Any slight overdrive is coming from the plug ins, the KGB II is such a killler warm amp and the Cinemag transformer is one of my favorites.

Here's a killer hand made Colibri JBT 4-J style bass. This bass features a 34" Scale Hard Rock Maple neck, Wenge Fretboard, Alder Body, Ulyate Single Coil Pickups, Audere Preamp and Hipshot Hardware.

I recorded this direct through my A-Designs REDDI straight into my Apogee Duet and into Logic Audio.
