Frank is the embodiment of Bass Face and is half the reason I watch this channel, make sure he knows that lol

The best bass face on KZfaq. Those axes sound great.

Frank Itt basically invented the Bassface while playing.

I LOVE my two Modern Vintage basses! I have the 70s P and J, and the P in particular is now my main gigging P bass. Besides the amazing playability, and true vintage tone, the thing that makes it for me is they really nailed the 70s B neck profile. I can’t get comfy on those big, wide, flat 60s necks, no matter how nice the bass might be - I won’t play it. They modeled several 70s necks to come up with a perfect blend of dimensions. This is my favorite P bass neck ever, and surely the best sounding P I’ve ever owned - and I’ve owned a LOT of them! The 70s J is also killer. I was sad that I sold my fantastic 74 J during Covid, but this one is intrinsically a much better instrument. There are no dead spots, the neck is perfect (no fret noise), and the instrument rings like a well-tuned bell. Fantastic! Basically, Modern Vintage is making them the way Fender USED to. Before they used cheap neck wood and had to install graphite rods to keep their necks from instantly failing. Before “noiseless” pickups. Before “Hi-Mass bridges”. Before there was “MIM” or “CIJ”…. These basses feel like the original US Fenders of days gone by… but they are consistently great - Fender maybe hit “great” 1 out of 4 times. I HAVE played Fender style basses that rival Modern Vintage - Olinto, Alleva Coppolo, Nordstrand come to mind. Check the prices though. Those brands run upwards of 4k for a P bass. MV is under 2K! The quality/price ratio is definitely in favor of MV.

My man's bass stank face is on point.

Gregor. The clarity of these basses. WOW!

Frank is the absolute king of Bass Face, that man is a complete beast of the low end and there's no doubt about it

The '72 would give me that Geddy Lee 'Moving Pictures' sound I've been looking for.

Frank is playing! Any bass should sound good!

I'm a big fan of the 70s bridge position especially when it's on active electronics, it has that distinct bite

I NEED a T-shirt with Frank's BassFace! Otherwise, I could never even think of calling myself a bass player 😎

Grumpy German bassist was something I didn't know I needed to see today. He rules!

If you met that guy on a boss level of a video game you would have no idea he was such a wonderful bass player.

I’m a true Frank Itt fan, I remember meeting and jamming with him back in 1983, while he was playing with “ Leaf” and the band “ The Touch”. He’s always been a beast on the bass and a all around cool guy.

They actually sound vintage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As usual, I came for the daily bass fix and stayed for the bass face.

Frank is Way More than the King of "Bass Face", he IS BASS FACE and my girlfriend wants to dance with him if he's ever in Canada. Awesome absolutely awesome show and channel guys 😁

I love the sound of the 66. I hope they come out with Reliced versions in the future!

The brand name "Vintage" was already confusing enough for search engines.

Frank's tune "Profilaxe" was a big reason for me getting into playing slap bass in the first place - awesome

Thank you Gregor and Frank.

Frank is puttin' it down! He spoke volumes through the basses!

Can definitely see the neck issues with these basses. I bought a MV PBass model last year, and though I tough the bass sounds great, I came across similar issues. The frets needed leveling and the nut was way to high. Also the pickups were quite lose in there sockets… It could all be fixed, but took time, and of course some of the excitement. I normally use Marleaux basses exclusively, never came across even one of those issues. Still think that these are great basses, but they definitely have to amp up there quality control.

I wasn't prepared for this ol Deutsch dude to bring it like that

That red Bass sounds amazing!

this was the perfect opportunity to compare bridge pickups in the same setting …what a shortcoming !

Those modern vintage seem great, not really my thing but they look top drawer and sound great.

killer basses, love my MVP4-62

Dude, thumbs up to the base-face base player. He suffers along with his instrument as they pace through the notes together. Really cool.

Too expensive when for a fraction of the price you could go for a Sire bass

Frank face is GOLD. You know if the product is good by looking at Frank's bass face. That's my indicator. No bass face from Frank ? I am not buying.

My first bass was from the Sears catalog. Loved it. Miss it.

Those basses sound GREAT!

These sounds really good! Also, love Franks Bass Face! We've all got one!

I listened VERY closely to this review because of how much Ed Friedland promotes these

Still hankering after that Cort Elrick NJS-I feel like a stalker

It would have been nice to compare both basses with the same setting (bridge pickup).

0:29 the guy is on fire! So groovy...

Looks can be deceiving, for sure. This German/Austrian-sounding bald man plays bass as soulfully as any funk bassist I’ve ever heard and I was playing music (drums) in the ‘70s, when I was a teenager. Sweet video! Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊

To have a good sound in a bass, you must also have the amp to go with the sound you are looking for. As for a really deep bass with smooth sound, the Kustom is the amp. For hard hitting amps, Fender and Ampeg are the ones.

They sound great! And look amazing as well!

God damn Frank has some savage bass face while playing!

I hate to say it, but a lot of the guys doing bass reviews/unboxings don't have a solid pocket. Which is weird. The playing here is done with a solid meter. Simple, yet funky and satisfying.

Allo guys not seen ya for a while Frank still got da chops then😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Great, I wanna grow old like Frank Itt!

The bass face is strong with this one 😤

i love wintage bass

Devil's Horn = Dio BassFace = Frank

I may be able to play as bass as well as Frank, but I will never be able to bass my face as well as Frank. I much prefer the red one - love the multiple styles you can play with them.

Super great in-depth review of those Modern Vintage basses! Well done 😀

You rock, Frank!

Uncle Frank dropping that funk

Was the fret buzz the upper or lower frets Gregor?

Frank Itt?? Never heard of him, bit he GROOVES.

Your dad is a beast on bass ! :)

Man oh man alive, those there basses sound phenomenal shook me the core, gotta go 🚽 keep it funky😎

🤔... So, the steel shield is for trapping ring with the dual pickups ?

Frank got it going on!!!

Damn! Mortadela has skills and tone!!!

Happy weekend guys

Pai e filho, hein. Bonito ver a família unida…

fine ! thank you

Love this guy's bass face!

Yeah but where can I get these pick ups?

Thanks

0:10 vintage German face.

Sir!! Do they make a Precision model???

Frank the Tank on Bass

For a hot second I thought this was gonna be about Vintage (Trev Wilkinson) but it's Modern Vintage. But which came first? Vintage or Modern Vintage?

Great sound.

BassFace......engage!

Frank for president

These basses are Killer!! ❤😎👍🏼

I'm here for the great Maestro ITT, since I can't afford any Gear. Wish I had him in my band.

i love this ballhead face

Grandpa really wanted those kids off his lawn while he was playing.

These basses are outstanding, incredible build quality, high-end finish, and sound wonderful. It's a pity, however, that the chosen name "Modern Vintage" is ridiculous and sounds anonymous, like a brand of low-cost production that doesn't stick in your mind at all and you've already forgotten it after five minutes and in addition the prices are only high, on a level ( and even more!) by Fender made in the USA. I think very few go to spend 1900-2000 € on a bass which, however good it sounds, will have almost no resale compared to well-known brands!

No facial muscles were hurt in the video.

From the headstock I thought it was another collab between elrick and cort 🤣

My fender japanese marcus miller jazz bass sounds bad. Should I just change the pickups?

The 70s one has MAJOR neck alignment/bridge position issues. The G string is barely on the board.

PLeaaaase reveiw the 5 string version!

There should be a Frank Bass Face video game.

oh my amazing bass face! cheers!

That bass face!

Is there a video or will there be a video featuring that bassman rack in the background?

Why do they have sooo much string buzzing?

Awesome video

best face ever JAJAJ

Doesn't look like they're nitro which is a bummer in my opinion. Like wearing through the finish on nitros

Show!

Quality bass face there😎

Hi Gregor! Can you tell me what strings you had on these basses when you recorded them?

4:01 Wozu ist dieses Teil gut?

This bass sounds so good because of bassist, same like any other bass...

These basses sound great indeed...but honestly by the title I expected a lower price tag. I see a Jazz Bass, identical to a jazz bass, with the sound very close to a vintage jazz bass, priced 3000 $. So where's the surprise in listening it sound like an hi-end jazz bass?

The dark one has lots of buzz

I hope get one but I haven’t money it is so expensive in my country

Jenifer Rush-basman

Me gusta suenan genial pero me gustaría isieran de 5 cuerdas
