P Bass Vs Jazz Bass: is one really BETTER?... Maybe 🤔
If you had to choose your top Fender bass guitar, which would you choose? They might have come from the same drawing board, but the Jazz and P Bass have some major differences. Both changed the world. But which is the right one for you?

Are most bass players TERRIBLE at playing bass? 😱😬

The role of a bass player in a band can be discussed at length and most opinions are probably correct actually. That said, the bass is as much of a harmonic instrument as the guitar or the piano and saying that bass players don't have to concern themselves with harmony or chords would be a mistake. And from this perspective, the role of a bassist can take on a new dimension that involves outlin...

Can anybody help where the downloads for this lesson are. Many thanks, Paul
What pedal does he uses?
hello music lovers, i bought last week a Ibanez GWB-1 original first signature Japan from 2002. cleaned it put some new strings on it and what a sound & growl, not cheap but love it..👌 (sorry for my English)
YOU DONT LIKE THE BASS LIKE IN THE OUTRO
Reggea! Don't for get to sound like a trumpet 😮
No
I do have a Fender special P-Bass with two pick-up, P on the neck and J on the bridge. 3 knobs, 2 volume and 1 tone. Versatility of sounds, I love it.
amazing
Kick rocks on that bullshit!!! Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! Jemaine Jackson played Bass on that! Patriots! And if Jermaine Jackson did not play that line on the base! Motown Perpetrated a fraud in 1969!
He’s playing like a guitarist would
Scott, I'm calling you out! What are you thinking when you're playing? It's obvious you're feeling. I feel, I play, and I'm every bit a pro. But you have something I'm missing. Making a living as a bass player I just never needed to do what you do, is that it? I'm a good bit older than you and I'm feeling like I should have what you're doing in my back pocket. I kill on every audition and on every gig. Why do you make me feel like I should give up bass!
Kinda surprised people didn't know this, my buds and I knew this in middle school by listening to the tone of the ticking. Roger actually made most of the music and the lyrics for Pink Floyd. Not just the Wall. Yet it wouldn't be the same without the rest of the band. Regardless, they are all mad geniuses.
Probably a better video title would be "Why every bass player should be able to play with a pick" instead. It can make you more versatile. Man oh man do I ever miss writing songs and playing instruments, haven't done it in many years. I still think it's one of the best damn things my species ever invented--I really, really do mean that.
Love the energy, enthusiasm and humor 😄👊🏼
Top ten videos that ended too soon
What about an ultrasonic cleaner?
I started watching this channel because I was researching Rickenbacker basses. Turns out one video leads to another with your charismatic teaching style. I am learning so much about the music itself as well as anything you talk about. Now I'm learning a lot about the P bass and Jazz bass , which I thought I already knew. To be honest , as great as a P bass is I would still prefer a Jazz on most songs in the studio, as certainly live. My main bass now is a Musicman StingRay which I've had for years. Don't ask what year I got it. The 90's were a little fuzzy, but it's early 90's. To tell you the truth I hate it, and my Yamaha bass is has also started to get me annoyed. I am seriously wanting to enter one of your contests and come up a winner. I actually want a Ricky so bad. With all the flaws you both pointed out in the Rickenbacker video you did a while back, I still can't help myself. Is it possible to win a Rickenbacker somehow, someway, someplace, someday?
First expensive
All I know is the name of the song and singer. "Nothing says I love you like I love you" by Jerry Butler. Wicked Bass!!
Cool stuff man!
Sir your hair is on the wrong side of your head
Or... Just get a Multi-scale bass built for F#BEADGC. All my basses are built for this. Ain't got no damn time for the gimmicks. It's 2023, get it built. Or buy a multi-scale bass and tune it right.
7:27 Hey, I SEROUSLY NEED TO WIN A RICKENBACKER BASS. But, ahhh I MISSED IT. IT WAS MY ONLY HOPE (I CRY). PLEASE DO ANOTHER GIVE AWAY. I'D RATHER A RICK THAN THAT 1978 6 STRING JAZZ WORTH 10K IN 1978.
Marcus Miller is that dude!!😎
The dude rocking the bass is playing with his heart and soul.....OMG!!!!!
Dude looks like a straight up wizard.
Bass 2 felt flatter with its sound
A thumbs up .87 secs into this vid cuz, well...Vic W.
Number 2 had hella hum to it
The coolest thumb rest I ever saw was on a great old beater P bass that looked like it had been dragged with a car. The owner took a cork from a wine bottle and cut it in half and he used rubber cement to adhere the half cork right where the dent was forming from his thumb. Super comfy with great grip and looked right at home on the instrument. Maybe everyone knows this, but thought I'd share it.
Perfeito
Ricky that guy
I’m digging that archtop bass. What make and model is it, please?
Holy hell bro's!! Great advice. I'd heard it years ago.
Love the loop 👍
Cheaper bass was a pinch noisier, thats the only thing that gave it away for me. Otherwise they both sounded fine
This tip actually helped me a lot considering i love to think about basslines but I just couldnt find grooves when playing
What’s with the glove?
Mr. Miller transcends the bass...A great musician to say the least...
I freaking love these dudes!
I completely agree dude. Most SUCK!
Ian’s playing looks so effortless it almost doesn’t seem real. He makes it seem easy but it ain’t.
Bass 1 had flat wounds from the sound of it, was the dead giveaway to me imho
These guys ain't no flea. They are germs on a flea. Make something better for me guys
Crazy thumb dude
I find this thumb technique virtually impossible to reproduce. Hitting the string rather than going through it is so much easier.
Always thought this was common knowledge
