Bass comparison P-bass, J-bass, Ric, MM

[GibsonLucille]

The bass line is very similar to Bigmouth Strikes Again by Smiths, haven't you noticed?

[Aspartamebraintumor]

Also, for your song, the P and the Stingray sound the best... and the natural J actually sounds the least fitting

[Aspartamebraintumor]

That natural J is the best in the mix here. Those clear yet gritty mids sound great. I notice that the Ric has the quality of both the J and P. Gritty mids, yet rich lows. I personally own a J and a Ric.

[FunkyPraise]

Wow, great video comparison. Well done. Have to say I was surprised by the Ric. Very versatile, but I have to give it to the.....ding, ding, ding...STINGRAY!

[alanrolemberg]

I am impressed with the job. Congratulations, man!

[olegsokolov]

p is cool, on j you better use flats

[Mightypaul]

All a bass player really needs is a Jazz and a Sting Ray.

[TheBlueBandYTAccount]

@Mightypaul All a bass player really need is a P-bass (preferably a deluxe version), a Stingray and a Fretless jazz.

[Mightypaul]

@TheBlueBandYTAccount I've tried to like P basses, but I just cant find a tone I like. They are to boomy and mid scooped. They sound ok with flats though.

[Sstrikerful]

Liked p-bass, white j-bass and rickenbacker in the mix. P-bass has a roar, j-bass sounds with a vintage warmth and body and Rickenbacker has a smooth nice tone. The other sound well but stick out from this mix.

[udroheath]

Wicked video buddie. Must have taken you some serious mind numbing hours!

[Slappinstyle]

Great comparison! Personally I prefer the Stingray

[Drehpflanze]

P-bass thats it! Damn great comparison!

[joxter74]

So, Gooood man!! In my ears do the natural Fender P the best. And the one i dislike (sorry), was that 5-string music man :-S. Heck of a nice job. Thanx Jocke/Sweden

[joxter74]

Wonderful !! In my ears, the Fender

[keremkoseoglu78]

This is the best bass comparison video I have ever seen on Youtube, thanks for your efforts and the great work...

[RaginRog]

Helluva an arsenal you have there...nice playing too.

I have a couple of P basses, Jazz basses, and one Stingray, and I always find that the P bass sounds he the least pleasant on it's own, but the best when playing along to a song. That white jazz with the flats also had a very nice syrup-y tone, but with a hint more definition than the P bass.

[TheOriginalFire93]

Very nice mix of crunchy aggression, fatness, and clarity in the P-bass, Stingray, and Rickenbacker.

Going a bit off topic (but not really), I think having a P-J combo bass and a Stingray bass is a nice setup for me. Having a P-J combo (P-bass with a Jazz bridge pickup) is a decent compromise between Jazz & Precision. Having a jazz bridge pickup on a P-bass is nice for getting a fatter sound, or even a tighter sound, but you can always silence it when you just want a P-bass sound.

Were you using an amp or it was direct?

[HurtJason]

Great video, very helpful. Awesome production, the time put into it was worth the effort.

Z kąd sie zadobyłeś tych perełek i ile łącznie za nie dałeś ?

Piękny precel :)

[mateuszpiotrowski]

song written by me

[giggs102]

@mateuszpiotrowski AWESOME VID! thanks. :)

[RuroiniStenchin]

Also whats the song?

[RuroiniStenchin]

Ric wins at 1:20 thats THE sound for me, 1:50s good too, but I can get a Gibson or Epi EB-0 to cover that kind of sound

[jgk381]

btw, did you have a foam mute under the bridge cover on the 1st one, or was it just from playing close to the bridge? You kind of had a jamerson/p bass sound going on that jazz bass, nice.

[jgk381]

Hard to judge a p bass without flats, not much of a fan of rounds. I think the first jazz/ w/ flats sounds great.

[ShivaTheAuspicious]

Always loved P's and Stingrays. Those are two sounds that floor me every time.

[Andronizer]

Superb video, thanks a LOT!

[Jinxerz010792]

Gotta dig that Rick, and the Stingray. The tones... so good

[fendermytc90]

String choice seams to make a difference too. Thanks for the video as I want to try out some new strings and was good he hear the sound you were getting

[DerelictEarth]

Thanks for this video, the musicman has a really nice tone !

[ulash12344321]

Really a helpful video man. You're showing the whole characteristics of the basses. They all sound cool and they are all needed for different musical tastes. I wish I would have all of them :) and I really like the video... 

[Fretworrier]

Very useful comparison, I am looking for a bass and this is a great help

[kasikgurf]

dobra, ale to jak pizgają te stalówki po flatach jest nie do zniesienia :) jakbyś au general zrobił porównanie każdego jeden po drugim flaty/roundy. ale nie ma sensu, skoro w większości filmów robisz takie.

[funkyspacecar]

Ovo je super video. Ja nisam basista, ali si extra ovo uradio!!!!

This is great video. I'm not a bass player, but you did it extra!!!

[SignorParwano]

Dobra robota.
