Neo Land

Hi I'm Peter, also known as Neo Land.
I like to talk (a lot) about my basses and bass related gear. I'm also into remixing stuff by the way.
Check out my project WiPe , which is a 5 piece band with only two members.

    At some point in the video,around the 7 minute mark, I tell exactly which effect is on the bass and why. Chorus indeed. I would love to do another video without effects, but I sold the bass about a year ago, so that can't be done anymore unfortunately.

    I had an 08 American L-2000 and I didn't really like it. Too much syncopated ringing from the locking bridge and late at night the pups would pick up radio stations and I could hear them coming through my amp. Sold it with Billy Sheehan's signature on it a few years ago. I much prefer my Korean ESP Surveyor 400.

    Thanks for the review and getting to the point with the comparisons. I am really impressed with the DoDo bass, and it sounded a little over driven but that has its place in Rock and Metal. I still liked the CV 50’s Precision a little more. I am seriously considering this CV 50 or the 60’s precision? I had a 60’s Precision bass when I was in high school back in the late 70’s and mine was Olympic white with a tortoise shell pick guard and I put a BadAss bridge and a brass nut on it and a man who was a luthier who worked in the basement of Boyd’s Music Store Burlington Vermont and he worked on my bass and my friends guitars. I really love the way the 50’s p looked when you kind of rolled it up and down and it caught the light on the front and back. I never knew that it looked so pretty because apparently others don’t have the right light to bring out its sexy business! 🤩🤤🤗🤙

    The L2 and Synapse do it for me. I agree the L2 has the best tone and is an original. The Synapse (Which I own) comes close. My Synapse is one of my favorite basses in my collection. I have the 5 string version, I wanted to change the pre-amp on it but since its connected to the pizio pickup it not an easy task. And you're right its a little on the thicker side of things since to body is made out of wood. I have the L2 on my list to get. I also have the XT I was going to mod it, but never got around to it. Since I got the Synapse I don't touch it that much.

    For some reason, it sounded like the XT-2 was easier and more growly than the L2. I would not have expected as much from passive pickups. If I thought I could afford to get something like the XT-2 for myself, it wouldn’t just be because of the professional quality. It would also be as a point of pride; for the most part, that model was manufactured in the same city where I was born, Newburgh, New York, USA.

    Good point, but at the moment I made the video I only had one Fender. The problem also is ofcourse that I can't lay my hands on a vintage one. I cán compare it to a modern one, but there always be a difference. Another problem is I can't go to a musicshop with my 700 followers. The channel is just way too small for that. I do think it's a good idea to make a closer look on the Line 6 and do more compares. Stay tuned!
