This man is the most excited and jolly bass player I've ever seen. God bless you, brother.

To me it doesn’t get any better than a 70’s jazz bass with pearl blocks and binding .

Lovely sounding bass Had one Nearly lost my house Had to sell it Playing Harley Benton jazz bass copy now Decent bass Like the deeper tones

Thank You for pointing this out, I’ve been confused about the control’s. It seems simple but you’ve helped me. Thanks

Both the musicman and jazz sound so different and amazing!!! I want an old jazz so bad I can't afford one of them yet tho

Great videos, thanks for passing this knowledge down

Lmao. “That sounds almost like sunlight.” I love this guy

Johnny Eddie Van Halen died today and I am crushed.He was the reason I learned to play.

Thanks for input

Hi there my friend, God bless you, man you're funny explaining the Bass sounds 😂.. really like it.

I always loved the Markbass TTE 500 series and speaker 🔈 sounds amazing 😉

You are a crazy guy - and thats a compliment; keep on grooving

One of my dream bass rigs.

GREAT MAN! W THE JAZZ AND... MARKBASS :)))

Awesome 😎 thanks

I just bought a jazz and p bass. I got a PJ bassed on you recommendation months ago. So I guess I got my basses covered. 😄

THANKS JOHNNY , NICE BASS

Lovin that Mark Bass amp

Nice I bet they cost in the 1,000,you’re very humorous which is a blessing and you enjoy life,God Bless.

I am a Jazz bass fanatic, and I LOVED the video! As always, beautiful gear Johnny. The Alembic pickups and guts are an amazing addition to an amazing instrument. Is that a Leo Quan bridge? I have one on my custom Jazz I built with my Dad. Keep up the great work man!👍🏼

My main bass for over 35 years..

Jameson played a P-Bass

He reminds me of me when I first owned my first Fender Jazz

Johnny you are crazy. I don't know what you are talking about half the time but I like it. Keep this going I just subscribed. Also I like your playing. Where the hell do you live where you can play bass outside in your backyard and nobody complains?

Man... love the energy, thanks for your wisdom. Btw, if you haven't named that girl yet, you said sunshine, with the yellowing body and gold hardware, it fits to me! Just a thought

Bought my Fender Jazz in 1995. My first bass. And still my daily driver! No other neck feels right to me.

I'm also playing my Fender Jazz since 1996 and no other bass removed its place.

First fender I ever got was a 13 Select, and you're right, it will play about ever tone there is. Funny though when going to a studio the producer will hand off a well set up Precision, because it only does 1 sound lol. I like em all. Is that an original 70s Jazz or a repo? There's so many Fenders it's hard to keep up with them all

😂😂😂😂😂 so funny bro i love it👍

Would let us know, out of, all the basses you have had chance, to play do you prefer, and why the one I like the most, was the musicman with the red pickups, and the alembic, but what's your favourite? All the best Johnny 🙏🏻

I would love to see a video series about p-bass, musicman, lakland, rick. Etc

I second that

I've got a 1999 JB. Same colour as yours but with a tortoise shell scratch plate. I took that off a put a red one in it's place. I enjoy messing around with the colour scheme (without doing anything irreversible of course). Those pot control knobs you have with the fender logo are cool. I've never seen them before. I love the way the brass hardware is a similar colour to the aged varnish headstock. Was that intentional? I'm off to ebay to see if I can get them in silver 🤩

So Jonny has Alimpdiks pups and pre. Rear is the back and a new, begginer player lol. I want what his on. Great video, cheers.

Hi sir, I have Lakland DJ 4, skyline, upgraded preamp active, may I know what strings good for active bass especially musicman bass, I like your tone and playing, hope u can assist 🙏🏻

The Jazz bass is more versatile in tones, but I would choose that Musicman all day long (smile). ... the new Musicman basses have that signature sound but those from the 70’s especially with the roasted maple fretboards are a special breed.

Nice!!! JLL

keep it up

Hey Johnny, great video. I play a Fender Jazz, and love it.. What kind of strings do you use? Sorry if you mentioned it and i missed it.. thanks!

I have a beast identical setup but a 2017 American Elite Jazz bass and a mark bass 112 combo with extension cab 112 and it's awesome definitely that Marcus Miller tone all day long the jazz bass is the undisputed king of bass guitars and it's the most emulated and copied bass ever for a reason

Real talk

What year is that Fender? I want one, just don't know which one to get that nice jazz sound.

What exactly alembic pickups and preamp are they

I explain the difference to my clients in this way: Jazz Bass is a surgeon's scalpel -- it's precise and cuts through. Meanwhile, a Precision Bass is a machete. Depending on your tone and how you play the latter, it can sit in the mix and be unobtrusive or it can sit out front and clear the path for the rhythm section to stand out.

..or you do what some of us have done and grab a PJ bass instead. My choice? MIM early 90s Fender P-Bass Special with passive P and J in the bridge. 2 band active EQ with mix knob. I get your point though. :)

I like P because I don't want to waste my time looking for a special kind of sound. (just kidding...)

I have never liked fenders , they sound great, don’t get me wrong but the Neck scale are hard for me to play, I have a YAMAHA BBNE for Jazz vide and 2 music man stingrays

Rickenbacker is all i need

Do you remember Eddie Olivia y los impact is from Ohio ?

Less Talking and More Bass Playing my Brother! Lol it’s All good though. Thank You for the Bass Videos

Fala muito

I own 2 Jazz basses and like other sheeple I wanted a Fender , after playing other basses I now realise Fenders are over rated hyped up crap both my Fenders have dead spots all over the neck , they constantly need adjustments take off the scratch plate and there is hardly any wood left from the CNC routing , if you must have a fender style bass your better off with a squire they are just as good and half the price, by the way there are hundreds of quality basses out there that sound better and cost less money.
