1966 Fender Precision Bass

[judastheloko2]

Just what the world needs, another slapping geek disgracing the ROCK N" ROLL bass.

[Underoath7711]

Your sick man! Keep slappin it hard

[jaylow7]

Sounds like mine. I have a '66 P bass too. I can usually hear the late '65,'66 and '67 era P basses right away from the others. Hot pickups on those things,,growling with a bright piano sound when picked and a heavy low end below low G..almost drops out on a lot bass amps unless you're eq'd a bit.. Glad to see it being played,. There's a lot of '66 Ps out there and these days can be had a for bargain. I'd buy another one over that overpriced Custom Shop stuff any time. Enjoy.

[BassFireMusic]

@radioripster a wonderful comment. thank you.

[starth123]

[NiklausMetal]

SYNC

[nikklazz]

Awesome sound and playing...very cool!

[hulhula22]

i play through the same head, but i have the 115RH cab. nice video.

[bobbitcat]

Whhhooooweeee! actually this is the best slap sound I've heard on a P bass, very nice sound man.

[cristicini]

good job with the muting!

[BassFireMusic]

ups, i just removed a comment from user greenfuzzz16 - sorry.

"where or how did you get this guitar??"

a friend bought it -unplayable- through ebay germany (the bass has it's story in hamburg). the neck had to be repaired (straighten in a complex process), then i took over ;)

[hundredthwindow]

Would xou recommend the HK Tubefactor for Bass?

I'm thinking about getting myself one...

[BassFireMusic]

@hundredthwindow

for me, the tubefactor is the ONLY device that can fake the authentic sound of a tubeamp with any amp, IF not the amp itself is the better device. means: if you've got a real GOOD fulltube amp, you don't need the TF. i don't speak about a hybridamp with fake-tube-preamp! think of marshall superbass/superlead, ampeg svt etc. ... for bass you will only need channel 1 - channel 2 is moshing - and much too loud! with channel 1 you get from "tube-flair" to really heavy distortion.

[liammstark]

thats sick, nice

[dudemanaric]

love it

[steinbergerfreak]

Ouais , ça prouve quoi ?

En slap , toutes les basses sonnent pareil , c'est qu'une question de réglage à l'ampli . Difficile à apprécier la # entre vintage et réissue dans ces conditions ...

Bon j'aimerais quand même en avoir une !!!!

[iloverush123]

TUBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sahar5br]

where's the shredding part exactly?

[BassFireMusic]

1:13 -> that IS the schredding for an old fart like me :)

[funkchops4142]

what kind of strings are you using? great playing. 5 stars,

[BassFireMusic]

cheap nickels, i think framus brand. 5 euro a set.

[Inthescissor]

Oooo nice sharp tone...I have a jazz bass fretless, so it's difficult to get a sharp tone.

[MrBeatleslover]

nice playing

[asifineededaname]

i LOVE the bark of that bass !!! sounds awesome !

[oluap84]

Wanna sell it? :D

[BassFireMusic]

hahaha! :-))

[Funkyskunk01]

@BassFireMusic please??!?!?! :D

[BassFireMusic]

@Funkyskunk01 :-)))

[BassFireMusic]

thank yor for the compliment - but it is REALLY no song ... just a spontaneous jam with a fantastic resonating bass (cool amp too, but in real life (and live) situations i play an ampeg V4BH + 15").

try the groove with open A an fiddle around. YOU DON'T NEED TABS AT ALL!

[m1ndNOVA]

usually those who ask for tabs aren't the ones with the soul to be able to come up with such lines and works :P

[BassFireMusic]

???

as i wrote, "no song" !

[radcam69]

nice job Amigo!

[LoqBuster]

Musicman!!

[BassFireMusic]

haha! :-)

i sold my stingray 'bout 10 years ago. no regret! (it was a very fine bass, but not suitable for me)

[fluxcapga1]

maxxmil6969....you are a retard.

there is an obvious buffer or lack of the audio to video.

you retard.

home videos, computers, and internet, or CAT5/Ethernet connections all have lags from actual video.

As an actually Degree holder in Film, it is current that you have to lag the audio to the video or psuh the video back to the audio time sequence.

maxxmil6969, stop playing bass, instead, pick up a time machine, and realize the only chance you could of had was that promotion at Wendy's.

[BassFireMusic]

i would bet the delay got worse over time. don't know why. my vid with the white bass had delay from the beginning i couldn't repair. but this with the '66 hadn't notable delay after upload.

today i saw (and heard) this vid again after a long time. awful! :-(

[martincq]

VERY GOOD

[MileSeventySeven]

sounding great

[traveler720]

nice slap!

[groovei]

Put some flats on it and make hay!....with the right technique slapped flats sound better I think than rounds....

[BassFireMusic]

y're right! :)

well i usally don't slap (and don't use a pick).

[maxxmil6969]

nice air bass guitar show ,i watched very closely !

[BassFireMusic]

???

[TheBassfresh]

larry graham used flats on his jazz for all the sly years.

[crlaw75]

James Jamerson used LaBella flatwounds for Motown.

[Razium]

phat tunes man as the guy down below said, amazing tone. keep making awesome music!

[Joshnio]

Ah the heavenly fat-ness... Sounds incredible when pick played :F

[SalvationHasCome]

Great job!

In my opinion the jazz bass is better for slapping because of it's medium tone.

[BassFireMusic]

A P slapped is a bit special I know, nevertheless "classic" (ok, not mine ;) )

[SalvationHasCome]

It sounds cool though, but my friends also tell me that I have a very special slap taste, so the jazz bass has a more... I don't know how to explain it-sound :p

But you're good, keep up the good work :)

[runfarFox]

dude. this is groovy!

[itaisim]

hurts me to see someone slap a true 66 precision like this, but hey, thats only me... :)

[rererererererer2]

word up! but at least that bass is being played, not sitting in a show room. the bass is where the bass wants to be. it wants to be slapped. just like tina turner.

[1993BigNasty]

@rererererererer2 Dont you mean Rihanna??

[MrAngel999]

@itaisim

not just you (:

[MrAngel999]

@itaisim

it's not just you...

it should be treated with some fingerstyle playin' (:

[AndrewAbu2112]

Dude your tone is fucking incredible!

[nanerpants]

what thats what i would call a good light tube OD

[harmonium777]

nice tone
