Here's an awesome Roger Stallion Singlecut 5 bass. This is a quick sound demo with some backing tracks, a full review coming soon. For the recording I had the Pope preamp on and have the treble and bass boosted just a tiny bit, with both pickups on and no other EQ. I also used my A-desigs REDDI and my Universal Audio 1176 into my Apogee Duet for the Direct recording. The only effect is a slight amount of limiting during mixdown to keep everything even, other than that its just the super fat sounding bass tone. Roger Stallion SC5 Specifications: Flame Redwood top, 3 piece maple neck with light flame, Wenge fretboard and Ramp, Maple tone block, Mahogany body, Ulyate Humcancelling pickups, Pope Flex Core Preamp, and DR Pure Blue Strings.

Here's a quick sound demo featuring this outstanding Wilkins Road Tested WRTJ4 Cayenne J Bass. Cayenne stands for Roasted or Torrified. This bass has a roasted Alder body, dark roasted maple fretboard and a roasted maple neck. Audere JZ preamp, Hipshot hardware. Bass was recorded direct through an A-designs Audio REDDI and a Universal Audio 2-1176, into Logic Audio via an Apogee Duet. The bass had both pickups on and the preamp set to its "flat" setting. I also used Tsunami cables and DR Strings.

Here's an Incredible, I know I say that quite a lot in this video but its true, Skjold Gen 5 Bass. This bass was on loan from a Bass Hang family member and we couldn't be more thankful for the loan of this awesome bass. This bass was recorded direct through my A Designs Audio KGB DI/Preamp. There are a couple of times that the signal distorts due to my fault of not resetting the input gain on the KGB and/or interface, I do apologize about that.

This 1990 Pedulla MVP 5 bass is such an incredibly special instrument that I decided to post it as a bonus Episode of the 2 Dudes 1 Bass Series. This bass belongs to a very close friends father, RAY!!! It is on temporary loan and I am very thankful to have it in my possession for a little while. This is a completely stock 1990 Pedulla MVP 5 String Bass. These were some of the earliest boutique basses from that era. Pedulla is still going strong and Mike Pedulla is still building some of the industries best basses. This video was shot on a GoPro Camera at 4k and audio was recorded on a Zoom H4N.

So in this episode of 2 Dudes 1 Bass Howard Ulyate and I talk about and play my personal La Bella Olinto P bass. This bass is an incredible 63 P Bass replica handmade by Mas Hino. The Olinto P Bass is named after Olinto Mari, one of the founders of E&O Mari String Co. which eventually became La Bella. This is one of my personal favorite basses. From the La Bella Website: "Each La Bella Bass is individually handcrafted and made to order by master bass builder, Mas Hino. Based out of a NYC's Lower East Side, Hino shapes each body by hand, working with only the finest cuts of wood. The “OLINTO” also sports hand wound pick-ups made in house. Bringing years of experience and knowledge to the table, Hino is able to make La Bella's vision into a reality — a vintage-style bass equally as handcrafted as its vintage-style strings."

In this episode Doug Koeppen and I play a killer Italian made Manne Moab Special Master Grade 5 String Bass. The specs are below, when we shot the episode we went in cold and just played the bass, and speculated some things about the bass. 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.
