Guitar of the Day: 1974-75 Fender Precision Bass Natural | Norman's Rare Guitars 

I have a Mike Dirnt Signature 51 P bass, amazing instrument

Actually the strip mall guitar store salesman who work cheap Zeros

@@stes3061 got us confused with your mom on the corner…

@@gregcoates4281 🤣😂🤣💀🙀💀

I love P’s especially when they’re set up well and have the finish off the neck-this beast is a killer. I’m leaning heavily on a pair of modded MM’s,wired passive with series/parallel switches and TBX passive tone controls- one is a Sabre with one pickup tuned ADGC,the other is a Stingray with a D tuner for my standard tuning needs. Playing a Jazz Bass with a Rage Against The Machine tribute this weekend.

@@gregcoates4281 Outstanding gear; makes sense now lol tks mr..

*bass Think you’ve confused me with a serial failure ex prez’s utterly retarded second son… Appreciate ya watching though!

LMFAO!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!!!

I can't tell if Greg is adult Beavis or Porter Wagoners son... If we see Coates in a nudie suit we will have our answer..

😆😆😆🤦🏼

@@gregcoates4281 It sounded good!! Even when you went neck pup!!!

@@contrabandjoe7974 I appreciate your input,seriously-we’re trying to do better for everyone’s sakes.

@@gregcoates4281 you either dimed that amped or Norm finally sprang for a non Amazon decent quality recording device for Jen....

@@contrabandjoe7974 we actually waited until no one was there and no phones were being used,then we got busy,though I did it up a wee bit more

Thanks-I make sure I never need a pick 😉

Sharpened scrapers are my favorite method You don’t wanna breathe that stuff while sanding it so the scraping method works cleaner and faster. I finish it up with 3M Scotch Brite in red/green/white grits Then I use either Tung oil or Danish oil to seal and finish it,burnish it with a drum stick!

Some of my custom shop basses have thick lacquer finish on back of their necks and they definitely gum up during a warm night or under a blazing hot lighting rig. So, scrapers that a painting crew would use to strip paint?

@@luvbasses5487 basically thin gauge sheet metal that can be “barbed” with an edge-doesn’t have to be a tool necessarily-just a sharpened/barbed piece of somewhat flexible sheet metal-that way it can conform to the curvature of the neck.

Copy that. Thank you brother. Great playing by the way. You and Lemmo shoot some pretty cool clips. Keep em comin…

@@luvbasses5487 of course,man! Thank you-and just start out slow with long strokes towards the headstock when stripping those finishes off-if the edge is sharp enough,the finish should come off in ribbon-like pieces-just make sure to back off when you feel wood.

They don't do that here. Go look it up on Reverb.com. But it's probably already sold.

Depends on the gig,but currently my favorites are a 1978 MM Sabre that’s wired passive with a Duncan Stingray pickup tuned ADGC,a 1988 MMStingray wired passive w/Hipshot D tuner and a Sayoko Kuwabara rewound MM Stingray pickup-both MM’s wired with series/parallel switches/TBX tone controls,ABM bridges,D’Addario ProSteels through an all analog pedalboard with a Dunlop volume pedal through a Visual Sound Comp66/Ibanez Tube King/Malekko B:ASSMASTER (Germanium) octave fuzz/Dunlop Bass Wah into an MXR Octave Plus into a GNI dual analog chorus/ART MP1 tube pre amp out to either a Trace Elliot GP12 SMX 1200 watt stereo bass amp into an assortment of 5”/10”/15” speaker cabs. I also use Ashdown Mark King signature ASHDOWN LABS analog bass heads,FENDER 300 PS’s and Genz Benz Streamliner class D 900 watt head as well as smaller single 10”/12”/15” Trace Elliot bass combos. 200 year old German flatback 2/3 size upright bass with a Wilson bass pickup into the same effects I use for my electric set up. I also have assorted Fender Precision and Jazz basses,a Spector wired passive,MM Stingray5’s,Yamaha BB series,a BC RICO Eagle bass and a Danelectro long scale DC bass as well as some custom instruments. All of these are highly customized and feature series/parallel circuits. I use D’Addario Pro Steels/NYXL’s/Chromes primarily and Thomastik Orchestral gauge upright strings and flats for my fretless Japanese Fretless Jazz Bass.

@@gregcoates4281 Thanks Greg for all the detail. It is great to see what pedals you have (and strings you use). BC RICO Eagle bass sounds interesting. Lots there to look up! Have a great 4th.

For a mild OD-it’s an Ibanez Tube King,a Visual Sound Comp66 compressor,chorus is a GNI Analog Stereo Dual

@@gregcoates4281 Hi Greg! Welcome back. What's the weight on this one please? Another great selection of riffs.

@@ultimatebasses I’d guess about 11 pounds

@@gregcoates4281 Oooh, that's in line with my Koa body Kramer aluminum bass. Price? Have you played the Daphne blue Mustang? That looks nice.

@@ultimatebasses I did a spot on the Mustang that’ll probably air next week

😆😆😆

Uh ohhhhh stinky poopy
