I don't understand why there have been a number of negative comments made about Lee in recent videos. He's a great player and very knowledgable on a variety of different brands. I can understand why some might be bothered by his over use of "yeah" but I think it's a simple case of Lee not being used to presenting and is something that will improve with time as he becomes more comfortable in front of the camera

Lee is awesome man. Bugger the people lol... But if James Hetfield says "yeah" it is just so cool. Lee is a great bassist and he knows his onions. Keep up the fingers Lee and stuff the people.

Very seldom have I heard two bass players playing simultaneously that I didn't wish would stop. Killer grooves and feels.

He said "just shy of 600lbs" and I was like "Damn, that's a heavy bass!" Then realized I'm an idiot.

Guys - Totally wrong on the the Elite's PassiveTone control. You've got stacked knobs, the lowest, big knob is your classic passive tone control and does nothing in active mode. Similarly the other tone controls (stacked high/bass, mid on top of the passive tone) only work on the active. Cheers!

Damn fellas, you guys are really great players. I could listen to you two for days. So nice to stick a good bass into your hands and just let you go. Thank you!

Far more satisfying than even the most badass guitar solo. I love it when funky basslines come with bite and sharp mids.

Appreciate the review. The comparison was quite useful. I hadn't noticed that the Pro was string through body. They all sound great. But I have options budget wise.

Great demo guys!! The “fiddling” with the controls in real-time playing really makes a diff in hearing the tone control sweeps, especially noticeable on the Elite (passive to active). Bravo, and thank you.

nice review guys the vmod pickups sound really nice the neck is a nice feature too

This is a great review. Love to see if you can add Fender MM, American Deluxe and compare the sound and options with these three!

izziOnBass A few days ago I played the 5 string Elite, Deluxe, and Professional basses back to back, maple and rosewood. I loved the Deluxe and Professional. I felt overwhelmed by the Elite. It's obviously a great bass, but the Deluxe was more comfortable with just as many options. The professional was comfortable and honestly I couldn't tell the difference between the neck profiles or the radiuses (radii for the Latin people). I'm going back for the Professional 5 in a few days.

I'd love to see a challenge video with either these guys or the Chappers and Capt pair where they try to put together a gigging bass rig on the cheap (say 500 or 1000?). The high wattage requirements in bass gear could definitely make it interesting.

The shootout I have always dreamed of.

nice demo! I enjoyed it!

What a great intro Jam!

What a jam Nathan and Lee awesome stuff

Great show..thanx guys!.... (The guy below who pointed out the 'yeah' stuff just spoilt it a bit..but no worries..)

these guys have really great chemistry together

You guys play so well together.

Absolutely love you guy's show but only one request here! please do a bit of rock and metal demos in between as well with pick and overdrive just to here how the basses compare to one style only. Would have loved to here how the Elite sounded with an overdrive and some aggressive playing a bit. Thanks guy's. Love your show. Greetings out of South Africa.

I love your videos guys! But on the installation of sound swapped. Bass with which on the left side plays in the right ear, and vice versa. I had to turn my headphones on my head :)

You can alter the tone when in passive mode. It's the bottom dial on the tone stack control.

Guy in green sweater had a few drinks for sure - haha. Makes for quality content. Great videos

The Elite, for me. Great review, cool jam.

that mex bass just killed it!

Just to let you know,when the bass is in passive the last knob becomes a tone knob,good review.

Nice bass muck about, f*king lovely playing, all good fun, you got the tones out and had a right laugh, good job guys.

Sounds nice, I think that all these basses sounded very good. What I can't get over with is how a typical Fender jazz bass looks. The colours, the tuners - too vintage for me, definitely

When will the video about mass debate be released? And, actually there is a tone knob in passive: it's the bottom nearest the input jack. Only works in passive mode.

The "feel" is the thing most precious.

The tone does work in passive mode, when the active circuit is switched on the passive tone becomes dormant and you have bass, mid and treble.

@MacXpert74

Yes I was going to say the same thing. I think he's confused because the Bass, Midrange and Treble knobs don't work in passive mode. But bottom ring of the stacked midrange knob is actually the passive tone control. This ring has no function in the active mode, but works like the normal tone knob on a standard Jazz bass.

23:09 that's not true, the passive tone control is right there under the mid control, same as all previous Dlx models (as far as I know anyway).

Know one guy ex pit and recording player who has just ordered a couple of Harley-Benton basses out of curiosity to see what he got for 60 quid apiece with free return for a fretless and a fretted jazz bass, he is now gigging them with a local band and pleased as punch, says at that price he can write one off after a few gigs and they play great.

When it is in Passive Mode you DO have a tone control. Nathan got that wrong. The lower part of the 4th stacked knob is that control...

Giuys the Fender elite does have a tone control when in passive mode - Its controlled by the bottom control of the bottom pot - The eq i.e treble mid and bass controls work in active mode - you don’t want to put people off buying these quality basses with your duff info - Great vids though

Please review the ultra line up...

All sound great. To me, this is more maple vs rosewood.

Yep Nice job Folks F MIM excelente!!!

I have both the pro and mex, and the pro feels better. The neck profile is just so much better in my hands, and the vibration feels better against your body. Im not sure if thats the wood and hardware. The tuning pegs is also better. The frets is also just a tad better. The sound is about the same. I am wondering about upgrading the pickups, but im not sure yet.

Love my Standard

Here's a question for everyone. What is the purpose of a skunk stripe on a neck with a rosewood fretboard? I understand the point on a neck with a maple freboard.

Hell, I was IN THE MIDDLE of pricing out J basses when I saw this. Cap, would it be too much to get some of the custom companies like Warmoth and USACG to test out?

@shehranazim4784

7 жыл бұрын

At the end of the day, Anderton's aren't truly "testing", rather demoing stuff they sell so people buy them. That's why even their "test" videos basically have no negative comments. You'll only see Warmoth and USACG stuff on their videos if they ever decide to start selling them or a guest comes on with one.

You guys need to write a bass album together.

I think we forget how good these guys are on the bass.

The tone nob works in passive mode and does nothing in active. Although I don’t find the tone nob doing all that much in passive. With an 3-band eq not much reason to also have a tone nob in active.

YEAH!

The Pro sounds better than the Elite to my ears, but I am wondering if they are using the same strings.

The Elite sounds absolutely fantastic! Much better than my American Deluxe. I would love to know what amp they are using with that Bass; Anybody?

I think you’re just hearing the effects of the eq at the beginning of the American pro clip. It gets fatter. Also the MIM typically have more gain but much less defined/more muddy tone I’ve found compared to any of the American stock pups. Whether you prefer that is personal taste, but I guarantee you will hear the difference in a live setting.

mexican wins just for the price, change the bridge and a good set up and you have a nicee bass for $700

More music should be made like this,two basses nothing else....

How come they're not looking at the Mexican deluxe stuff? The specs were updated in 2016? Is the Mexican deluxe range the bastard child of the Fender family?

The Pro sounds the sweetest, doesn't have any of the rattles that the MIM and Elite have for some reason. FML I need to win a lottery to get that Pro.

Love the video but he’s actually WRONG about the tone ring knob not working in passive mode. It’s actually the opposite it only works in passive mode and it does nothing in the active mode. In active mode you get the stacked mid range knob and the stacked treble and bass EQs working plus the pickup selector. I own an Elite V bass myself. Great video though.

YOU SAID THE TONE ONLY COMES IN WHEN THE ACTIVE KICKS IN - RUBBISH - THE LAST KNOB UNDERNEATH THE SMALL ONE ON THE END IS THE TONE FOR THE PASSIVE MODE OF THE BASS. HOW DO I KNOW? I JUST BOUGHT ONE, SO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU START PUTTING YOURSELF UP THERE AS AN EXPERT.

The j-basses with the black printed points or blocks on the maple fingerboard looking really cheap..
