Ed Friedland Reviews A Human Base 5!

[Dr. Cheese]

Cool, my wrist/plucking hand looks exactly like Fred's when I slap which I guess means I have decent slap technique. Sorry, just needed to get that out of my system.

I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of Human Base's designs, though, most of them are way too extravagant for my tastes.

The one Ed Friedland is playing and that I see for sale over here is pretty basic. I really like the way it looks. Hey, if you sound anything like Ed Friedland, you can rock!

From a German company, I wasn't expecting this: "Assembled and tested in Orange, CA USA". Are the pieces manufactured in China and then assembled in their locally-distributing market? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just curious.

Let me help clarify that if I can.

There is the line that is created in Germany and then there is a series of basses that have the parts created in Asia and assembled in the States all with based after the German design.

Ed was playing one of these Tri-Continents basses as described above.

I have to say that the Humanbase is one of the BEST basses I have played/heard.

Other then owning a couple of Fenders (which are more of a novelty to me now and thats not a Fender knock) I play pretty much just Modulus basses.

The Humanbass is really the only non-modulus bass that I'm interested in using. I think that are that good IMHO.

If you see one give it a try.
