Yes that was horrible news brother. And Trump called of stimulus package deals. Not a good day for news. Glad jhonny made these sure needed good vibes today
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
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.
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 🤩
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?
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!👍🏼
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
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
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 🙏🏻
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
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. :)
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 🙏🏻
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.
Which models do you own? I'm looking for a 5 string workhorse. I've been watching the Fender player series, sire v3, and the sterling ray35 or 25 for about a month now and still can't decide which one's the right one for me 🤣
