[Ibanezgirl4life]

[hollywood526]

@Ibanezgirl4life Fender 7250-5L

[ThLuckyOne]

hollywood526 - you've got nothing for which to apologize. THANK YOU for this inspiring upload. Can't believe I didn't find you before now....

[MUSICRTW]

Dood, sick.

[cuz714]

Marcus Miller qaulity you got it kid!!!!!!! Stay blessed

[hollywood526]

@cuz714 Thank you! Be Blessed!

[showtimed23]

how long did it take for you to get your bass and how exactly did you get that bass?

[hollywood526]

@showtimed23 I ordered it from Carvin Direct, you can build your bass specs online or call in your order. They are located in California.

[calvinstonesr]

Hey bro i'm a fellow lefty what do think of that bass. I getting ready to order one myself. I love your playing by the way. I have a toby pro with emg pickups and preamp. It sounds good but I want another good bass.

[LilPutter]

Dude... You and the track killed it!

Nice chops.

[777superfood]

Nice job, I love how you switch from fingers to slap style. You've got nice chops!

[dangsxgomez]

Awesome groove. Bad ass playin' son! Keep it up.

[ewarner100]

great playing all in all, now go be YOU! NOT marcus. im not trying to slam you, just some helpful words...

[hollywood526]

@Cornflake, the body is ash with active electronics: vol, bal, staced mid sweep and treble over bass.

[cornflakesnwater]

sounds good... whats ur body wood??? neck??? is it passive or active???

[addictedtobass42]

man, methinks someone got got some sweet lovin that night !!!!

[base656]

This is yet another reason why I want to order an SB5000...that low-action Stanley Clarke sound. Most basses in this price range suffer from horrible buzz when you get the strings that low, but this one seems on-point! Nice tone, my man.

[CSAN33]

Man thats cool. I am waiting for my SB4000 to built. I didn't realize though until after I purchased the 4000 that the SB5000 has 2 more frets and comes standard with active electronics. Im not sure why the would'nt give the 4000 22 frets also. So I'm a little bummed about that but I am so excited to recieve my new SB! How do you like yours? whats the specs on your bass? Woods, pickups, etc...?

[jetsandthrills]

love the tone man! I want to get an SB5001 and yea you pretty much answered what I was looking for-the tone. I love the look of the bass too. Good lick by the way.

[alexmc69]

LOVE IT! You've got a great playing style, note choice and tone to die for... could anyone please advise what pickup/amp/FX/EQ settings you use to get this crisp bouncy tone?

[toofpick151]

Shawty came thru in the leopard print and show over! LMBOO j/k man. Great playing! I think Im sold.

[MARKLINMAN1]

Dude awesome sound and fantastic playing, where did you get the backtrack from,?thanks in advance.

[Starrchild65]

Bro. what scales are you using?

[jimiubass3]

Brother, when are you going to put out a cd? Is that your main bass or were you just doing a product review? The bass has amazing tone and you are an incredible musician. Peace and God Bless!

[tim78704]

No, man.. don't stop playing! :)

[jfufighter]

By far, this is one of the funkiest bass playing videos I have seen!! Truly awesome skills and phrasing! Like Allen Iverson's crossover. And way to represent the SB 5000! My cousin Sekou Bunch designed what is my opinion, a ten million dollar bass!

[Rio522Bass]

Awesome phrasing man. I WILL be "borrowing" some of this. And I have to say I was a little mad you cut it like that. Where's the rest. Lol. Keep it up bruh.

[inuyashaspet]

Marcus called. He wants his damn bass back.

What kind of amp are you using here, btw? This is the closest I've heard an SB5000 get that Marcus tone!

[pmcd94iii]

that was truly awesome and sick, keep rocking with that growly bass

[hamarin86]

damn dude, great playing, feel, and tone!

[wakomaniac45]

than bass would look awesome in orange as well

great playing by the wayz

[amr0306]

Awesome tone and groove. You have me GASsing for a SB5000 now. Killer playing and tone.

Cheers

Andy

[vanniejoe]

[carloscs5]

Great stuff man. SB5000 Best USA made Jazz bass out there!

[hollywood526]

@carloscs5 Yes Sir Carlos, It is the "Nu Jazz Bass" of the USA! Quality built, classic Jazz tone, amazing choices of confiiguration and color at a price that can't be compared!!

[RedEldorado]

That's some sweet bass action man. You got the groove Daddy 'O. I gotta check my new Carvin catalog for that SB5000.

[hollywood526]

@RedEldorado Check out that catalog, then make it happen!

[pbobassist]

You got the feel, the tone, everything man! Nice Playing!

[hollywood526]

@pbobassist Thanks for the complement!

[rclere1]

Brother! Some great playing, tone and groove. I be Loving my SB-5000's, fretted and fretless. Thanks for the inspiration!

[hollywood526]

@rclere1 Yes Sir! Gotta Love these SB's!

[tristanmartinbass]

great tone in this video man.

this bass has that marcus tone nailed.

does your SB5000 have the J99 single coils or the H50 stacked humbuckers?

[hollywood526]

@tristanmartinbass I have the J99A single coils installed. Very true Jazz sounding pickups.

[imneflat]

Great Stuff!!! What did you use to record this?

[hollywood526]

@imneflat I went through myTrace Elliot GP12 SMX Bass Pre-Amp direct out, to my Behringer mixing board, to my sound card.

[bassstudent4life]

give us a taste of the kingston z5 man, lol. just got one and was wondering which would be a better combo, audere z mode pre-amp paired with either barts or ken smith pickups?

[KapnKregg]

Man, Carvin should pay you cause you just sold a thousand of these.

[hollywood526]

@KapnKregg Sounds good to me!

[ladyguitar1]

Hi sounds great. How much more was the lefty model? I got a right hand sb4000 off eBay for 750.00 I couldn't pass that up so I string it lefty.

[hollywood526]

@ladyguitar1 Hey Lady1, There is no additional charge at Carvin to do a lefty. Base price for a SB4000 is $799, SB5000 $899. for now. I have many Jazz Basses, but this is my favorite by far!

[rudebass53]

Nice sound/ nice groove... did you put an Audere preamp in your Carvin, or is it stock? You probably don't live in the area( I'm in CT)... if you were, I'd love to put together a two bassist band with someone of your talent.

[hollywood526]

@rudebass53 This bass is stock, however I did change from a Carvin volume, volume preamp, to a volume, balance knob preamp. I'm in the Wash., D.C. area.

[Nasute]

Bass sounds nice.

[hollywood526]

@Nasute Thanks much.

[henilk2007]

Sounds very nice. Smooth clip.

[hollywood526]

@henilk2007 Thanks!

[bassclef283]

I can't wait to get my SB5000!

[hollywood526]

@bassclef283 I hope you like yours as much as I like mines! Keep me posted, thanks!

[canvoodoo]

[hollywood526]

@canvoodoo Thank you.
