THE ULTIMATE BASS COMPARISON VIDEO

Музыка

So just a heads up...
This video is a little different.
It's not a lesson (what?!).
I wanted to do something different, so as a team we decided that the world needed an awesome bass comparison video... and that we should create it.
I'm talking Fender P's (flats and rounds), Jazz's, Fodera's, Zon's, Alembic's, Hofner's, MTD's, and a heap more...
In fact, 30 basses played back to back so you can hear the real difference between them all.
You excited to check this out?!
I hope so ;)
As always, see you in the shed...
Scott :)

    Interestingly, when branching out a bit into other brands it becomes a bit more difficult. For example, my bass looks like a behemoth designed for insane metal riffs. In many videos of other players I've seen using my bass they are playing jazz or pop. Although it can be used for metal it actually appears to work best for jazz, and maybe r&b or gospel, than metal specifically. It took me by surprise. The bass is in my profile picture. It is the ltd b206sm. Not to say swapping out the pickups wouldn't change this story completely. Anyway, food for thought. I tend to go for looks too and I'm trying to break that habit but it is tough.

    Okay, full disclosure-I’m a drummer, and a song drummer at that. So, I just naturally went towards to sounds I want to hear next to me in a song context. (I play bass, but only for my drum, guitar or bass students.) Also looked for variety of tones-horses for courses as they say. 1. Pino P-Bass, 2. Hofner, 3. Gibson EB3(?). I thought those three covered the widest tonal range among the basses played. I wish you could have also thrown in a semi-hollow, like the Jack Cassidy (name?) Epiphone and the Lee Sklar Warwick. LOVE the channel, cheers!

    My top 3 (in no particular order) are: - Fender Custom Shop 69 Relic - Lakland Skyline - Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray Classic I could have picked three others. All of these basses sound good in their own way. Given the variety of responses here, I would say this video shows that a good player can get good tone out of almost any well-made bass with quality pickups. In the end..... cost, the look of the bass, the playability and the type (and tension) of strings for the music you like to play.... matter more than anything else. Thanks for the demo's Scott!

    Wow, first off, excellent video! I've been jamming to this thing on repeat all weekend! It's really nice to be able to hear so many different types of bass guitars all in context. It's funny, I thought I would favor the sound of the J-Bass, but I discovered that my preferences were: 1) MusicMan Stingray Classic 2) MTD 534-24 3) Fender Custom Shop Relic P-Bass That all black MTD Super 5 was pretty sick too!

    Loved the Stingray and I didn't expect to. MTB 534-24 was neat. Sadowsky Satin made me reach for my wallet. Of course, only moths flew out.... Am puzzled by the absence of G&L, Keisel and Rick like many others were. Also was surprised at your choice of Alembic as that is not a true representation of their "normal" work. Still, a neat few minutes to hear some different axes!

    Hello Eric, I know I'm late to the party and all, but I too was intrigued. Quickly determining that the effect there is an octave (and if you are interested in it there are many pedals that can get you that sound,) I spent upwards of 10 minutes trying to find out whether there was some kind of custom option for an inbuilt octave on MTD basses. My theory was that since Scott, at the beginning of the video, had stated that he had "tone and volume wide open and all pickups on," he had simply mistaken a switch on the bass that controlled the octave effect for a pickup control, turned it on and not noticed. However, when I was taking a second look at that portion of the video, to see if I could spot a stray switch on the bass, I noticed something. Upon further inspection of the clip, based on his left-hand positioning and the sound not happening in the first portion of the clip, I concluded that he was more than likely merely playing two notes simultaneously, thus creating the octave effect naturally. Feeling like a right chump, I have decided to leave this reply to you in the hopes of being informative, and maybe even entertaining.

    Great video. I love the continuous playing, so that we can hear the changes in tone. So many comparison videos they stop and talk so much that your ears barely remember what the last instrument sounded like when the next one begins to play. Hope you get to do more of these- I'd love to see some G&L's (L series and M series in particular) in the comparison. They are a super highly regarded brand for bass players that always seems a bit shut out of the comparison and retail game.
