P BASS VS J BASS! Which Is Right For You? 

Whatever speaks to you!! Thank you much love 🙏🙏

And I mean never - no matter what! Creative differences, business difficulties, drug problems, women. Take it till the end…

Also, Flea played a StingRay early on with the RHCP, then moved to P bass. Had a signature bass as well. Anything Flea plays is gonna sound like Flea. 💯

@@kraytwinsmanorCorrection: Flea moved to Jazz bass not P-bass. His signature model is a shell pink Jazz bass with tortoise pick guard. You’re correct about that he had an Ernie Ball (Stingray) endorsement prior to that.

@@raoulduke8382yes, thank you! I believe he’s had multiple signature models and even his own company. One thing is for sure, he’s one of the best to ever do it.

Yes! I gig with a jazz bass. Full neck, full tone. Move the hand for a different sound, change attack for different volume. It's all in the hands.

Yeah I feel like it’s really understated how significant right hand placement is for the sound in demos like this

Hey thanks Corey!!

Americans love the North People. We hate communism

where's your internet come from?

Boyyy you ain't from best Korea

Try to get a 4004 if you don't want any of the 4001 troubles (for cheaper, no stereo tho)

Thank you 🙏🙏

Haha we all want to be Duck Dunn some days

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!

Hell yeah!! Be sure to use our Fender affiliate link if you’re getting a Fender (which you should hehe) to help us out a ton :)

True but on Chic records it’s a P bass.

@peterw3160 well it's controversial, do you have any proofs? There is one thread on Reddit says that Marcus Miller heard from Nard himself that it was P-bass, but the story isnt clear enough to say it is 100%

@@user-kk4kn1ue8u There are videos of Nile Rodgers talking Bernard’s bass, strings, amp and recording process on the early songs.

For sure, the vintage fenders can be super inconsistent though

Also a great option! I’d say it’s just generally less versatile than either of these basses

(loved the entire video!)

PJs are great! You get the best of both worlds in a sense, just at the cost of an active bridge pickup

Also, quite a few 60s recordings that most people assume were played on precisions were really played on Jazz basses. Joe Osborn, wrecking crew bassist probably just as prolific as Carol Kaye, played on a 1960 stack-knob jazz on hundreds of tunes. Another is David Hood of Muscle Shoals, who among many other hits played the famous line on the Staple Singers "I'll Take You there" on his Jazz. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HbikuxKlJBk.htmlsi=0dlSLqRT7zrQbnNT

Fender was sold to CBS on January 5th, 1965. This bass’ neck stamp is Jan ‘65 and two of the pots are dated 64’, it was likely the last run of jazz based before CBS changed the production line. Respectfully I’m very aware of the developments of fender basses, and as for the p bass stuff I was generalizing for the post 58’ style (I mentioned the new headstock shape) that people are used to seeing now. There was more I said during recording that was cut, as getting into the weeds of production history was entirely unnecessary for this video.

@@telula You're right, my bad. BTW, you guys are fantastic!

Thank you, really appreciate the support!! :)

I'm here to like and give support because you Two are my favorite. Exactly what I needed in my life right now.

Thank you 🙏🙏

For sure, PJs are great. You do then have to have an active pickup, but anyways this video is more just about comparing and contrasting the two classics

Amazing two instruments, thanks for the video and your music guys!

You’re very welcome 🙏🙏

I own a passive PJ and it combines the disadvantages of both worlds... ;-)

It is!

@telula righteous, brotha! Keep on funkin it up, for another 60yrs! 😄 🍻

Correct, I meant since that initial redesign which was pretty shortly after the first rendition in the grand scheme of the precisions lifetime

@@telula Just realized you did mention the changed headstock.

I just said 500 as a big number that came to my head quickly but yeah she’s on so many over her whole career lol

@@telula I get it

Both is even better! But this is more for people who are starting out or maybe just looking to get their first Fender/passive bass

No, a Jazz bass (not a Fender though)

@@Ben_Mdws oh you're right It's an SX J with demarzio pickups

🙏💕🌷
