#Andertons #bass #ibanez - Hudba
It's so disconcerting hearing Lee's bass from my left and Nathan's from the right despite them sitting the opposite way!
The editor must have his ears wired wrong
The do the same thing in the Sounds Like vids a lot.
If I were the editor I'd check to see if those monitors were the right way around lol
I was just about to post the same thing, LOL. Thanks for saving me the trouble...
Mishak Heyman easy fix.... plug in headphones and swap them around so left ear on the headphones is on your right ear! 👍
Just hold your phone upside down
What a wicked groove at the opening! Really enjoyed the comparison of great sounding affordable basses.
I have not seen every All about the Bass episodes but out of all that I have seen so far, that opening jam was the best sounding so far.
Nice mood and texture and it seemed like you were both feeling it.
Great opening. Your videos are clicking along nicely. Great job guys.
Man, this is some of the best stuff coming out of the Anderton's studio. The playing is tremendous!!! I'm a guitarist playing bass in a cover band and I know NOTHING. Looking for a bass now and so happy there is some helpful in-depth analysis of what's available. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I’ve had my Ibanez SR300 for a year or so now and am still chuffed with it. Like the slim neck, it doesn’t weigh a ton and the tones are pretty sweet.
right, i love mine too. have it for likeeee 3 months now? despite the humbuckers i can get some pretty höfner-ish tones with some chromes on it
Great bang for the buck!! Love my Sr300e!
I won't lie, I'm a guitar player through and through but your passion and energy is really something and I've quite grown to appreciate good bass chops these days so I've just got to say... cheers lads. Great work!
WOW! Great Intro! Im buyimg both!
The Ibanez tap/humbucker/power tap switch has turned out to very useful for me. That mid selector off the Sire would be cool but I just can’t beat the neck on the Ibanez.
Ok... I've watched other reviews on the Sire/Marcus Miller M2, but this one convinced me... I need to get an M2... because of the quality of the sound and the flexibility of that pre-amp, it punches above its weight... damned nice bass for the price, imho. Time to start putting some money aside for one.
Great idea for a video, and a great jam too.
Man that intro jam sesh was epic
I've never heard the word gubbins used outside of warhammer 40k until now and it pleased me greatly to hear it about basses
The M2 has a bit more modern preamp, with 18V and active/passive modes. The SR300 has a amazingly comfortable 5-piece neck. Hard to go wrong with either bass.
Both you guys are so damn good. Then again, you're on another "Level"
Level 43? 😂👊🏾 I Love hearing/watching these two jam; they are BOTH so good!
probably the best intro jam ive ever seen
That was a great little jam...
I love atb intro hams... Gotta love those hams
Would love to see a show on ESP basses, especially the Fseries - one of the cheapest and most easily available 35” scale 4 strings, but surprisingly hard to find reviews of online!
Absolutely agree James! I bought a secondhand F-104 when I got back into playing bass a few years ago. I quickly "upgraded" to a '404 - which I still have to this day. Awesome basses!
Both basses sounded really good. But for me, the most practical choice is the Sire M2, because it have a much modern preamp with active/passive switch, very useful.
Excellent jam, thanks fellas.
Wow, very hard choice I think. I feel the M2 just tips the balance with that mid frequency on the pre-amp for me but, the color of the SR300 is just beautiful. They both sound so good and great playing doesn't make the choice any easier. Oh what to do!!!
I love my SR300 - it's so versatile and so easy to play. Even so, that Sire sure looks like a good instrument for the price.
I had to make a horrible decision and I'm so thankful to you for making This video.... You've helped me a lot. Thank You :)
You are amazing...
BOOST!
Cool video. Ibanez really hit the sweet spot here. Those guys in this video really jam too.
Now this was a shoot out 💯🎸
Nice Job folks,great basses.
The Ibanez has a Nyatoh body and Jatoba fingerboard, if we're to believe their website. The pickup switch is for humbucking/single coil/single coil with bass boost. The instrument is so good, I bought two; one for home and one for away.
Gotta say that if tone is in the fingers, Lee has the fingers of God. Regardless of the bass he plays it is just supreme. Musicality = Check. Tone = Check. Groove = Redlining. Is this guy in a band?
Look up - Level 42
Mishak Heyman - isn’t that Nathan?
@@JB-zs4hu oh damn didn't see you said Lee, my bad
@@Empyrean55 Also, he doesn't play bass in Level 42, that would be just daft given his brother is Mark King - he plays guitar with Level 42.
Does Lee play in a band? He’s a groove monster and I’d be very interested in checking out any projects he’s playing in.👍🏽😎🔥
Two great musicians.
That sr300eb looks 🔥
I think the hidden bonus of 24 frets is less body and thus less weight, which is kinda nice. I find fender style basses a bit heavy.
I was a fan of the old DX4/DX5 Ibanez soapbars but I quite like the sound of the new sr300 pickups.
The Sire's passive tone wins this for me though, it does something different than an active high shelf and I like to ride the tone control, particularly in small pub covers gigs where I have to swap genres fast and there isn't a sound tech to keep me in the mix.
That is the funkiest jam I heard in years you guys need to record that and sale it as funk,jazz. From Alphonso Allison the idanez player. Awesome 👍😎
You guys are both fantastic bass players.
You cant go wrong with ibanez sr300e. The sound , the eq, the playability, the neck profile. I have a sire v3, squier and fender. Ibanez wins
The sound of this Ibanez is just mind blowingly good...
just returned it - a tragedy
@@AdamWiktor what didn’t you like about it?
@@ruby8994 Great workmanship, but the sound is very weak, flat and without a clang ... I replaced it with yamaha trbx 174 and I am very pleased
I’ve just got an M2 even at twice the price it would be a killer bass 👌I love it.
I personally love the Ibanez 300e basses, well the whole SR range, especially for home practice, just so comfortable and easy to play. Both pickups, single coil mode, slight bass boost, love it
kick-ass opening jam gents!
Whats the name of that song at the beginning
Dig the opening jam
Ibanez killed it... awesome Jam.
17:08 "...dusty end, as it were..." LOL!
I love all three of my Ibanez basses. You can’t beat the sound, play ability, look, feel, and affordability of these phenomenal basses. A slimmer neck is definitely a big perk with these basses.
Nice! But where's the Orange Terror Bass Amp video?
First off . . . THE BEST intro so far, gentlemen! Had to go back and listen to it again after watching the full video. (So great!) As always, a great and thorough review. I'm really struggling on making a choice between the Sire M2 (5 string), the Yamaha TRBX305 and the Ibanez SR305, so this info was very helpful as I've come to respect both you guys' expertise and opinion. Is it safe to assume the M2 is the 2nd generation model?
I have a cheap Ibanez acoustic bass that I paid 250 bucks for on Amazon. While you can tell the materials are inexpensive, it sounds terrific, (I use a 15 watt Fender Rumbler at home) and the action is that of an expansive guitar,
Amazing bass players 👍
Yay- it's the right Lee!
Boo- I've put my ears on the wrong way round today!
Thank you guys, DHL just delivered my Sire M2 2 generation
How is it. I'm torn between these two, albeit in the 5 version as a back up bass
How is M2? I heart it's set up horribly, is it true? Did you have to do any work before it played properly? I really wanna get it but I hear so many bad things I'm kind of leaning towards Ibanez, any info you can share would be appreciated! Thanks
I always love these videos, but I'd love them more if we occasionally got some metal bass content.
Please do the ibanez tmb 100 at some point
Love the intro jam. Dudes, you're made to play together 😃👍 just don't fucking scream right after stop playing.
can we have a link to the previous affordable shootout?
I love this bass, I'm so happy I choose this one 5months ago, my first ever instrument.
There are 2 basses in this video.
@@kamilpayka5544 should have been a little more specific
I love this one too. It is much superior!
stupid answer.
Muito bom 😁
Sire Generation II basses next please. I want an EBONY P7 next, goddamnit!
They both sounded great but I agree that the Sire edges it out with a few additional features. I did like the red finish on the Ibanez better though. I would enjoy playing either.
Is it me or do they cross the right and left channels at the beginning?
So which one is better ??
I love my SR305. Stupid good for the money.
Is it my ears or did the marcus miller have lots of string buzz?
Love sire but ibanez sounds amazing
Lee Rylan Clarke ;) Lol love you man
Dude I can't find anything on this guy but plays so damn well. If you know of anything please link it for me.
What was the base cord they played at the end
The stereo is very confusing ...
Please someone tell me the name of the song and who sings it?
are there any tabs for the opening jam?
SIRE VERSION 2 !!!
Way to blow over the pickup switching options with no real description at all. Probably one of the best features.
Both of these basses just dust the competition at this price range.
Along w Harley Benton.
@@bflo1000 personally I'm not a fan of Harley Bentons at this price range. They sound fine but they feel cheaper than an Ibanez or a Sire. That's personal preference though, I'm glad people have options like Harley Benton if they're not into the Sire or Ibanez lines
SR300 NICE SOUND
Gotta say, i think i go ibanez on this round. Edit: i went with the M2 and i will prob be returning it. The extra long scale length might just be a bit too much for my guitar hands. Also the active settings produce a lot of "noises" and weird stuff when activated. Maybe thats just on my model...
I just want to watch you guys jam on bass, I don't even care about the bases, haha
So Yeah
The Ibanez with only 9V sounds twice as loud as the 18V Sire
Can you get different string gauges on a bass guitar?
Yeah
Just the lower horn issue with the M2 cutting at the 21st instead of maybe cutting it down to the 23rd fret like the Ibanez bass. Amazing bass otherwise.
i really hope they fix this issue on the m2s, i think the newer m7s already has a proper cutted lower horn
They did fix that. My M2 5 string has a deeper cut and a proper access to the highest frets.
is it a good deal if I can buy the ibanez sr3000eb second-handed (with 2 more years guarantee) for €250?
I'd have murdered to get a bass of that quality for that price when I started out - my first bass was a right plank but still cost me 160 quid and it was rubbish. Mind you, 2 years later I upgraded and got myself a Hohner "Jack" which I absolutely loved and wished I'd never sold. I might pick one up on e-bay or somewhere as they're reasonably cheap I think. But you've gotta say, for the money, these are 2 great basses for the money - I currently play a Fender Jazz which was 5x what these cost and I love it but if I was to be asked about a starter bass for a couple of hundred quid to advise someone, you couldn't go far wrong with these 2.
Sounds are on wrong side again, i keep checking i got headphones on right way round ;)
Great. Now try again with the audio panned properly.
Or... you know... you could just flip your headphones around... lol
The Ranter lmao
Just with the ibanez was in the colour I have
Can someone please post skinny Lee's last name so I can research if he has any music out? I am a huge fan of how he plays!
Lee Ryan Clarke
A Bass Sounds Like would be so cool! Like if you agree yo
I'll comment so I can like it again. Thumbs WAY up
We have been waiting too long for this!
That would a freakin' blast! Stu Hamm, John Myung, William Murde...err...Bryan Beller, Kyle Brock, and Steve Harris could all make for interesting videos.
The Ibanez looks a more-quality-instrument and it sounds really good.
So true!
02:58 RIP headphone users
#TeamIbanez ❤
That jam tho. Opening lick was tasty...oof
Is it just me or do those m series bass sound incredibly thin sounding?
no to me it sounds thin too - no mids - no low mids - i like the ibanez much better! (and i thought i would like the SIre much better)
Listen to other reviews - this is a surprisingly bad representation of the M2/Sire Preamp
I love andertons vids, but they dont make the basses sound very pleasing in their vids.
Yeah, I agree with theRealAV8r... the M2 is a damned fine bass for the money... I actually have a $1300 Fender P bass, and I actually like the sound of the M2 better, partially because of the flexibility available due to the pre-amp. I'm planning on getting an M2 in the very near future.
@@theranter Based primarily on vids or you've played one?
The Ibanez has a Jatoba board
Could have sworn the ibanez neck was maple and jatobah
Ghost Cat new ones have Jatoba instead of Rosewood. Has to do with CITES regulations
the fretboard on the Ibanez is jatoba not rosewood
My only concern with both of these basses is how well the shape of them will age. The SR300 has a shape very reminiscent of the cars of 2000 to 2010 where everything was rounded. The Sire has a more modern rounded with edge look. Sure those cars looked great at the time, but these days they look terrible. Will be bass in 10 years end up looking like a Vauxhall Vectra? The classic shape guitars don’t have this issue
NecronN00b 82 interesting point. I found out that, with cars, you can use this rule of thumb to find out in they will age well or not: “Does the car have a clear shape, clear lines and overall a clear identity?” If yes, it will age well, if not, it won’t. Examples: VW Passat B2 (aged well in my eyes) and Hiunday Elantra 2002 (a miserable car)
This Ibanez Soundgear-shape has been around for like... 30 years or so. I remember seeing these Soundgears in the early '90s when I started playing. To me it's timeless.
1:38 lol
Hello! Ibanez it is better for me.
Miért Magyar barátom???!!
@@akosslive03 Üdvözöllek. Mert számomra sokoldalú,többféle hangzást lehet kifacsarni belőle.Meg az ötrétegű nyak ennyirért bagó,könnyű súly. Egy picit jobb hardvert meg hangszedőt kell bele,és kész. Természetesen ez az én álláspontom. Kiváncsi vagyok a Tiédre.
@@akosslive03 Bocsánat lefelejtettem. A sokféle hangzást úgy értettem, hogy humbucker és single coil módok.
I love their videos and the good vibes they have, but that twiddling the knobs of each other's bass while playing feels weird to me. It's like touching somebody else's bits
That's kinda the joke. "Fiddling with your knobs" as they say
@@alastor1052 yeah but you don't see guitar reviewers do that.
I think it works fine. I’m not concerned with nonsense about what it looks like. I’m here to hear what the basses sound like with any and all eq tweaks, finger, pick and slap tones. No other reviewers are anywhere near as good as Lee and Nathan!! Plus great and entertaining personalities! Their shows are entertaining as well as informative. Not to mention they are both MONSTER players!!👍🏽😎🔊🔊
How is the Ibanez neck? Because some say it has a banana neck. I have an Ibanez S guitar and I love it, looking for something same in a bass. I play in drop A# tuning. Would it be able to handle thick string like that?
Sorry, I don't understand.. Why do I need a preamp??
So yer wife doesn't get everything in the divorce......
James McGrady ha!
Iron Touch-Dono easy answer, more tone options, controlled right at the bass, not on the stack or elsewhere
hi
zachary shaneour hey
Okay, the backwards channels is really screwing with my brain
ibanez sr300 = mazda mx5 year 2000
