Duff McKagan & The American Professional Precision Bass | Fender
Музыка
Sharing the stage with the likes of Axl Rose, Slash, and Dave Navarro would seem like a tall task for most bass players, but American hard rock legend Duff McKagan has always made his presence felt no matter who is he playing with. The low end master for Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, McKagan has play a massive role in shaping the sound of American Rock music. Watch as he and Matt Sweeney breakdown his approach to carving out his own space, his longstanding love for punk, and the Fender Precision Bass.
Without the Fender Precision Bass, the original electric bass, dance floors and rock clubs everywhere would be empty. As music evolves, our instruments change in lockstep; the end result is today’s version of this seminal instrument-the American Professional Precision Bass. Boasting a single Michael Bump-designed V-Mod split-coil Precision Bass pickup and the infamous ’63 P Bass neck profile, the American Professional Precision Bass gives you the power to make your voice heard.

Underrated ?? I feel like duff has a huge role in the gnr project, and his sound in particular is admired by many bassists and guys around the world. De hecho, la linea de bajo de Sweet child, tiene casi el mismo impacto que la guitarra principal. In fact, Sweet Child's bass line has almost the same punch as the lead guitar.

The fact that Duff is well-loved in the grunge music community is testament to his punk rock roots.
He's right. A Fender is all you'll ever need, especially a P-Bass.

Duff was enough for me
@1:13 From there, THAT!!! That is the Duff McKagan's sounds to me. I think Duff is one of those underestimated bassists. In Guns "N" Roses, he was that hard kicking rythmic bridge linking Steven's/Matt's powerful drum, Izzy's steady dirty rythm riffs and those perfectly groovin' "Ace Frehley sloppy style" solo riffs Slash was pulling out... The whole thing was dangerously Rock and Roll and Duff's bass riffs was the element holding it all together. Adding the voice and lyrics of Axl when he was firing on all 8 cylinders was giving the recipe for the perfect storm...
Duff has always had my favorite bass sound.
The sound of that punch in the end is awesome
Hearing his bass tone in the whole appetite for destruction.awesome!
The P-bass, the best rock bass made today.

I played Jazz-bass model over years and never got used, it has too much midle and treble. When I got my P-bass life changed, I realized "man, that's it". P-bass has got real bass sound, powerfull like a thunder, very round end and clear notes to my ears !! In my oppinion is the best bass.

I have to disagree I have a Precision bass but my 5 other ones are Jazz basses. To me the Jazz bass just feels right in my hands, plays well, and sounds great. Don't get me wrong, I do like the Precision, but for me its the Jazz bass all the way. John Paul Jones made great music with one and so did a whole bunch of others. Each his own I guess, can't go wrong with either. I've been at it 35 years.

One of the biggest influences on my playing and even on life. Punk Rock is also a way I approach my life too. Punk Rock is everything and more then just a music genre. the fender bass in general weather its a standard Precision, Jazz, P&J fender has a tone like no other.

One of the best Basses, especially 1970 and 1980's versions!
I was ready to trade in the bass .. then your style reignited the fire . That was like 31 years ago .. roughly
He is such a legend himself. Live long Duff....😎🤘
Great bass player, beautiful, melodic bass lines, and groovy too
Duff!! Creaste el mejor sonido de bajo de la historia del rock!!
I once saw Duff at the Morrison Center Boise, (Gordon Lightfoot concert) he was a complete gentleman to everyone
Aside from Duff’s no-bullshit playing approach, I love that he always keeps his gear simple. Much respect for him. Fender P-Basses...no-brainer! 😎
El mejor sonido de Bajo de la historia ko tiene Duff!! Y la mejor muñeca también! : D
The Bass guitar is a really underatted instrument, I hope some people give the instrument credit. Including the bass playing leagends such as Mcartney or Flea.
Esse cara tem um estilo extremamente personalizado; isso faz dele um baixista diferenciado.
The Legend himself.
Such a humble man.
01:48 that’s my bass solo. Genius!

Tanks for the good music duff!😭😭😭😭😭😭!
Duff’s my favorit bassist
Duff had a very particular sound when he played with Gallien-Krueger amps.
Duff, the only GNR member Kurt Cobain would talk too, love them both. Now I'm gonna go listen to coma.
The question from noob !?! Who’s know what is the all bass lines The first? The second? I’ll be appreciate !!! Mr Mckagan is one of the Greatest! Thanks Fender for Bass Thanks Duff for performing!
Duff is Velvet Revolver and GNR! Hes a great guitarists and fucking rocks it!!
I always love the bass lines of duff , got that fuckin punk kinda funk rock aggressive style with that tight tone , love that kind of bass player. So much personality. that its extinct in this times in bassists.
Duff muito bom musico
Leo Fender pretty much nailed it off the bat with the p bass apart from changing the pick up to a split single coil and changing the look to mirror that of the strat it's a jack of all trades bass just like the strat and the tele are for guitar you can play anything on a p bass by slightly adjusting the controls you can fit it to whatever you need
Love the Dead Boys and Stooges too!
That intro sounds a little like late 80s Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction.
I super love what he did in Ordinary Man
Me encantaría tener un bajo Fender
Thank god for making Duff Mckagan
P bass is everything. First and last word of Music.
Que ídolo Duff!! Este es mi solo (toca un Mi al aire que la rompe!), si eso no es Punk no sé qué sería! A Rockearla!!
Thx for all the best bass line..
that charming Lowend～
Soo so good!!! God bless u Duff
The use of chorus therefore for the effects, and especially what Duff does not specify is that you have to be tall to use a Jazz bass, a precision ^^
Duff es Genial💪y lindo 😍❤❤
Nice Bowie playing da bass
Meu idolo,sou muito fã, desse baixista

Thats what you call a cool and enjoyable ad
Can you upload the bass solo alone please? It sounds so cool
He's a very underrated bass player.
Very good!!!
Although the best McKagan bass sound is the Fender MB-4 which is actually a hybrid using a P-Bass mic with a Jazz bass mic towards the bridge. That's the actual Guns N Roses sound.
What the hell is he playing in the beginning??? I could listen to that for ages!
The besttt Duff!!!!!!!!
