Best value short scale bass? In-depth review Groove TM Mustang bass (vs. Squier Bronco bass)

In this unsponsored video, I will introduce and review the Groove TM 4 string Mustang-style bass. Can this be the best value/budget friendly short scale bass? Featuring an alder body, maple neck and board, ceramic Mustang-style split coil pickup, passive electronics, and black hardware, this bass far exceeded my expectations for the asking price of $289 CDN. In the track comparison, I will put this Groove TM head to head with a Squier Bronco bass (which also retails for ~$290 CDN at time of filming). Both basses were recorded direct with the same settings, direct through a Line6 Pod Go with my usual GK800RB model settings. Level matched, but no EQ or compression was added in post. *To best appreciate the sonic differences, headphones or quality speakers are recommended. 00:00 Intro 00:21 Background and features 02:25 Tones 04:50 Track - Comparison with Bronco 07:14 Tonal assessment 08:29 Wood grain 08:56 Truss rod access 09:40 Tuners 10:11 Nut 10:50 Frets 11:40 Neck 12:09 Pickup 12:46 Bridge 13:57 Setup 14:22 Weight & balance 14:52 Cut away 15:05 Conclusion https://jonathanwong.bandcamp.com
