Lakland vs. Musicman vs. Fender vs. Sadowsky 

I came for the basses, stayed for the music

The Lakland really does a great job of being the most neutral and a great middle point for all those different instrument. They all sound different enough to own them all lol

Fantastic playing! And what a collection. Each brings something really special to the table.

Great video, The STINGRAY for me, that growl that you got out of it so quietly is amazing, what it’s known for.

They all have their subtle differences. I really like the Jazz and the Sadowsky.

The Lakland almost outdoes the Jazz at sounding like a Jazz! Great comparison!

Hey thank you for this! Great phrasing and taste in music as always!

Great playing!! In this context I like the Stingray and Jazz Bass!!

The Musicman 🎶 is my favorite bass and number 1 choice 🎸. As a bass player, the MUSICMAN Stingray 5 string Dual HH bass guitar is great for any gig or event. A good bass rig preferably- 4x12's w/ a 18in subwoofer & a good bass head of your choice The LOWS on the Musicman will suffice!

The Lakland and the jazz bass are my favorite ... Wow amazing groove by the way !!!!!!!!!!

The Lakeland and Sadowski cuts through the best. Next would be the Fender Jazz. Surprisingly the music man last for me.

Dude, you have dialed in an amazing tone for every last one of them dam, you could make a Magnum sound that good, very nice, your skills show

I´ve suspected as much: it´s the JB for me. So happy to have a great JB again, after my 74 had to go some years ago. Great music man 😎

The tone is in the hands. Some players can make any bass sound amazing. 🤘🤘🤘

Fendet and Sadowsky are punchy. Loved them.

Fantastic, thank you Jozef.

Amazing man!

Musicman & Fender!!! Sounds Great!!!

Great video!!!! Thank you 🤘🏻

Lakland Skyline! I never tried one but I did not that they have a sound like this.

Great comparison, and outstanding performance!

LEGENDARY playing!!!

Wow, awesome playing. Really great playing, the stingray surprisingly came out on top in this one followed by a close tie for 2nd.

So good your playing and your demo

Great playing! Each bass has its positives.

all 4 sound so close; outstanding playing, sir!

thats some lovely playing bass bro

Superb playing!

I loved the low end on the Musicman

great playing much love

Great video!

You need all of them obviously. I would pick the lightest one 🙂. Great playing !

Hello Roger, nice to meet you again :-)

They all sounded great and worked for the song. That said: 1. Musicman 2. Fender Jazz 3. Sadowsky 4. Lakland You just can’t go wrong with a Leo Fender design.

I think you would sound good with some old fish line on a broom. I got mesmerized. Well done!

Não tem jeito, o Fender sempre na frente com seu som avelidado, mesmo sendo uma marca antiga mas não perdeu a majestade.

Thanks for this video

Killer showcase with extremely tasty licks and groove. Personally felt the jazz didn't have as much clarity as the others in the mix, but you made them all sound great!

Jazz and Sadowsky.

Great playing. Fender's the prettiest for me - though I'm never totally convinced with their 5-strings...

Som perfeito de todos, difícil escolher 😅

Alguien dijo una vez que la estetica del sonido del bajo electrico es una construccion cultural,por eso el P bass y el jazz bass serán siempre lo qué estará bien,todo lo demás a partir de ahí es una percepción individual y subjetiva. Saludos buen video.

AWESOME video!!!! Fender & Sadowsky are my choices.

Such a good bass player...wow!,

Great playin!!

Awesome bass playing. I have a 5 strings bass too. But i'm not really good at it. Greetings from Montreal!

Great video. I’ll take all four! 😂

I went into this vid sure that the Lakland would be the, or among the, best. I was surprized to find that I preferred all the other basses over the Lakland, with the Stingray coming out on top.

All are Super good, the selection depend on.each person

Amazing playing. I was surprised by the Lakland. The other basses deliver too.

Based only on audio from this video, it's the Musicman, Fender, Sadowsky, then Lakeland for me. However, they all sound good in the hands of a great player!

I couldn't even pay attention to the tone, the playing was so sick

Great

Great music! Fender and Sadowsky are my favorites...

Lakland wins hands down.

Stingray for the win lol actually all sound great. I miss my Lakland 55-14. Loving my stingray special 5 H though.

Lakland is top. My favorite.

They all sound great but i have to say that the Fender sound its fantastic in all pickup configurations

Great video! Sadowsky for me, love the growl

Music man sounded so good 🔥

Alright! Now I'm finally decided!! I want all of them 😭😞😭

all sound great, to my ears, fender jazz sounds nicest

Lakland so pure,

How do you make your recording chain? The tone and levels are perfect. The execution is impeccable!! congratulations.

super excellent

Lakland Skyline 55-02 !!!!

35" B-string wins every time. You can't escape law of physics.

Its the Lakeland and the Fender for me.

Musicman is another level! The best one so far.

Na toto som sa tešil. Výborný test. Asi nestačí mať jeden nástroj.

The Lakland sounds great punchy,, The Fender has an impressive look.

Interesting comparison. Lakland, MusicMan and Fender sounded really good. I didn't care the Sadowsky. A little too much high end. I have a Lakland 44-02 so I am trying not to be biased. MusicMan maybe had a little more low end. And the Fender Jazz sounded like a Fender Jazz. And dude, fantastic playing! Thanks for sharing. Do you have a favorite?

nice playing, Musicman and Sadowsky are my favorite in this video

Lo escuché 10 veces..mí conclusión es que todos están en un mismo nivel de todos te gusta algo..... lakland y sadowski.....muy buen audio .....🇦🇷

Hermoso como rompe con el mic del neck el sadoswki.....el lakland también.....👏👏👏👏🇦🇷

I like the Sadowsky and the Fender. Lakland will be my third option and the Music man is out. I've played it and it was the most heavy, unconfortable and hard to equalize bass ever.

Best to me is the Lakland and Fender J

You came out on top in my opinion. It's the driver and not the car.

Ten rychlý flažolet v 1.33😊❤MM top

I declare the Lakland the winner!

Well done! Did you adjust the preamps on any of them at all?

At 1st I thought it was no contest...then as you played on in different styles each bass's character started to show. My thoughts: 1. The Jazz sounds pretty bad when slapping. The Sadowsky also was surprisingly not that great. 2. That Lakland seemed to not have the best tone in each case, but to me, still sounded quite good in all cases. Best all around 3. When it came to articulation, the Sadowsky was really clear/cutting, and the low B was fantastic 4. It was amazing to me how good the Stingray was when slapping, I was quite surprised. 5. A Jazz bass on the bridge pickup sounds like you expect it to...which is a good thing...great for a session. 6. Your playing far exceeded the sound of the basses by all measures. Killer!

sick

Listening to it with headphones opened the doors of understanding for me :))) Sadowsky the richest in terms of sound quality.Fender is Fender, a brand, one sound, there are no surprises.Stingray in my opinion, also rich but very concentrated on the mids, strangely it's what I liked least in the slap. Lakland.. what can I say? A surprise! It doesn't have the richness of sound of the Sadowsky, nor the peculiar characteristics of the Fender and the Stingray, but it seems to me that it can do everything well, especially with the "both pickups" configuration.

Musicman rules!

Wow, you are are a really great bass player. I would take the Lakland.

They all great sound I’d like to try a Lakland ,, can you do another video comparing a ken smith, fodera and Tobias ??

I dig the Rickenbaker...;)

Sadowsky neck pickup, Fender bridge pickup. Least favorite is the MM.

Cool man, all of these boys sound great! What's the backing track that are you using?

My subjective modest analysis: Lakland provides a dense, balanced, and calm, level-headed tone. Musicman produces a dense sound with rich overtones and a massive presence. Fender offers a dense sound with rich overtones and versatile capabilities. Sadowsky features a thick, very rich overtone profile, creating a massive sound. All of the bass guitars presented are commendable in their own right, each boasting its unique sound. Thank you for the comparison. I have a question for everyone: among the showcased instruments, which do you find the most comfortable?

Lakland for the win

#1 jazz bass 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Your video is very good! In your opinion, which Bass best defines the notes on the B string?

that's how you play a bass guitar

Front, Sadowsky, bridge, Fender, both Lakland, slap, a tie, Lakland/Fender..

CHOPS! 🔥🔥🔥

Que briga de gigantes, só faltou baixo ken smith, parabéns

Lakland overall. The B string has that beautiful round, deep Bass sound. Then the Fender Jazz second best all around. I was shocked that the Sadowsky didn't come in #1. Music Man is to zingy and the low end was muddy to my ears.

The musicman!
