If you go to your local pawn shop in your town, there's a good chance you'll come across a treasure that you’d be amazed anyone would willingly give up.
For today’s episode of Bass Tales Michael League invited us to check out the 1959 P Bass he found in Ohio, which has been his main axe with Snarky Puppy ever since.
As always, see you in the shed…
Scott :)

@@venusspacey9685 what I meant was that it's all about finding the right bass that feels right to you. I've played a lot of basses (all with the same fingers) and they don't all feel good to me. This has nothing to do with age or price either, imho
@venusspacey9685
@venusspacey9685 2 года назад
@@WCruttenden I'm telling you as a bass player it's about your fingers. You can find the bass for you but that doesn't mean you'll be called for gigs. Your fingers give you gigs. A cheap bass that's "not for you" will sound amazing if played by a musician who knows how to touch it. Most don't have this skill. Most studio musicians have a grasp of this concept.
@cascanicoff5763
@cascanicoff5763 2 года назад
Well, I agree with both of you. The most important part is definitely the player, of course, that is the key. But having a bass that you like makes YOU feel better, which is really important too for your own satisfaction and helps you enjoy playing.

@venusspacey9685 2 года назад
@@cascanicoff5763 not of course because it's a lot who don't think that way. Hadrien is a bass god but has no feel. But he's very good and a beginner or even basist who've been playing forever would think that's the way to play. For the few that understand it's in the feel of your fingers look pass all the licks and runs. Having a bass you like is indeed important, but if you appreciate this music then you'd appreciate what you have

A band I played bass with in Dallas in 2008 got to play on the same lineup as Snarky Puppy, and I got to meet Michael very briefly. He’s such a cool guy and seems EXACTLY the same as he did way back then. It’s so cool to see how far he’s come since then, and it’s all totally deserved. I look forward to seeing the awesome art he creates in the future!

"Everything on value on that bass have been removed", he said, knowing full well that everything of value have in fact been distilled to it's purer self, with no paint, letting the wood breathe to furthermore accentuate the tone. Not only is he a ridiculous player and composer, he is also one hell of a business man...!!!
@LCA1985
@LCA1985 6 месяцев назад
Well most of experts say that the fundamental mellow tone comes from the old pickups who have lost magnetism over the years...so he was right, pickup was gone so that was one fundamental thing with value that was indeed removed. 🤷🏻‍♂️
@self4autism333
@self4autism333 10 месяцев назад
The riff on the 59 reminds of inner city blues. The bass was giving out a natural resonance that you can hear in the tone, combined with the flat wounds it had a nice tone. I recorded inner city with garageband and this was the tone i went for. It took a bit of tweaking and in the end i was very happy with how close to a natural tone i could get using a free virtual instrument.

OK but how is no one talking about the fact the Italian bass maker made a bass from a piece of wood *eaten and rotten*, meaning he had to dry it for probably like 10 years in his shop in super difficult conditions and clean it like crazy and it still looks like absolute shit, and then he gave THAT to one of the best player in the world, and he switched bass in the middle of a tour?!! That is LEGENDARY. I bet some players will ask for a worm-wood eaten bass because of this lmao

John Paul Jones has ‘52 Precision (it could very well be a ‘51 or ‘53 as well, I’m not entirely certain) and it resembles yours pretty closely! The pronounced Ash grain pattern is even similar to his! Like yours, his was stripped to natural too. No pick guard either. I’m sure you can find pics of him using it w Zeppelin out there on the net. It saw studio and stage time from ‘71-‘75. Never to be seen again after ‘75 and when he got both Alembic basses.

My first was a 73 p bass, sunburst. Still had the cover over the puck ups and flat wound polymer covered strings that were probably the first strings ever on it. Ended up with new pick ups, bad ass bridge and a pro straighted up the neck. Wish i still had it. Only paid $100. It was 82 so it was just a guitar back then.

What I find interesting is how good the 52 p bass and the Hofner sound in comparison to his awesome holy grail p basses. Along with some of his newer custom basses as well. To me that was the most surprising part of this. I'm not saying they sound better that's subjective but they definitely hold up well tone wise in these short clips of him playing
