My bass collection... ALL of them
Рет қаралды 404,120
7 жыл бұрынI regularly get asked to make a video showing my entire bass collection…
And over the last 20 years I’ve accumulated quite a few cool and unique one’s…
• semi acoustics
• some with completely flat fretboards (I know - sounds weird, right?!)
• one with a passive buffer circuit
• a custom P and J bass
• short scale 33” scale basses
I could go on…
So… I thought it was about time I showed you my basses… all of them.
And hey - what would really cool, is after you’ve watched the video make sure you let me know what basses you have in YOUR collection in the comments below the video… even if you’ve just got one bass, put it in the comments…

When did you bought it?
@leelee1973la 7 жыл бұрын
I have 2 Squier basses. One is a 2009 P bass with Duncan Seymour quarter pounder pick ups, black on black. Really punchy sound. the other is a 2011 J bass. Candy apple red... totally standard but plays fantastic. I used to have a 78' Fender Precision bass, but after 20 minutes of being on stage, my back hurt so much, I could barely play.... It was so heavy. So I sold it and moved onto the Squiers. As Scott said, you don't have to pay silly money for a great sounding bass.
@2012wyvern 7 жыл бұрын
I guess the newer Squiers are of better quality. My very first bass was a Squier. But with all respect to Squier, that bass has a neck problem; the neck bows everytime and after adjusting the truss rod several times, the neck will snap back to it's original position and hence, the action was sky-high.
@ChiliDUDE27 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, the newer ones are of much better quality. Not to say they don't have problems, but the important stuff is at least nailed down. Only real problem I've encountered is when I tried to put higher gauge strings on it, it pretty immediately needs a truss rod adjustment, but I always use extra slinkys anyway so it's not a huge deal. I've played maybe 16 shows with it and it works fine. Not amazing, but fine.

I had a couple of the last year and really like my 2002 Squire PJ bass I got for $80. Nice sound and feel. The band didn't last long but got me playing again. Your lessons have been quite inspiring. Thanks.
@JasonFilippou 7 жыл бұрын
For me there's never been a comparison: Jazz basses have a MUCH greater range and can play a deep warm sound very well with modern pickups and amps. If I pull the tone knob all the way down on my Jazz Bass it sounds like it came out of Santa Clara in the early 90s.I'm not saying this is the Motown sound, absolutely not. What I'm saying is that the tonal range of the jazz bass is much greater than that of the precision, and the sound of the precision can be well approximated through modern electronics and careful playing (e.g appropriate deadnotes). On the other hand, the P bass has a wider neck, so you can't play as fast, plus they are not recommended for slap style. No question as far as this man is concerned. The only advantage that I find in the P bass is its looks. I prefer the classic contour.

Yeah of course. I've heard that many people who like to play MoTown and gospel music *must* use a P-Bass. What I don't know is whether P-Basses are used by funk artists that much. I would be interested in finding that out, if anybody has any knowledge, fire away.

My collection has always been defined by "what I can get", bc I'm left-handed, and many basses are not available to me within reason (cost, or not at all). My 30-year mainstays are an ancient Ibanez "lawsuit" Jazz Bass copy (no idea how old), and an '86 Peavey Foundation. More recently, I've snapped up an LTD B-50 (sounds like a fretless in the top end), and an Ibanez Soundgear Gio (smaller, lighter, plays fast as hell). All are black, except for the old Jazz (sunburst). I see very few lefty basses that AREN'T black, tbh. I also have the tiny ancient Hondo I started playing with. It started out black, but i painted it garishly. I still practice with it, but the gigs are done with one of the other four, depending upon what I need for the right sound. Amps are all Peavey, from 15- watt practice buddy to roaring Tour 450 over 2 Eminence 15's. Big sound, easily repairable by my local techs when necessary (which isn't as often as it could be with more expensive brands).
@smokingbuddymatt6131 5 жыл бұрын
Firstly; I am a guitar player here, but toyed with the idea of getting a bass for years. Thanks to Scott I finally did it, and a guilty confession is that I love the bass, perhaps more than guitar. My first bass is a Fender standard Jazz, white body with maple finger board. As soon as I bought it I knew I would be adding a P bass at some point. Here we are two years later and I just received a new Fender Player series P bass. It is Sonic red, pau ferro fret board, and I love playing it. Cheers to Scott's Bass lessons and all the bass players out there.

I've sort of maintained a 1-2 instrument collection, usually selling the previous one to finance the next. Worked my way through squire, Ibanez-Gio, Ibanez-Soundgear, Shecter, and I finally got my dream bass last year....an American Special Fender Pbass with a beautiful satin honeyburst finish. Then shortly after I purchased that, I was gifted a Kala Hutch Hutchinson signature U-bass for my birthday. Between the two I can play in any style I need, usually using the Ubass for bluegrass or in pit bands for various musicals, while the pbass I use at church alot as well as in a jazz/funk combo. Truly satisfied with those two instruments. Keep up the great work, Scott! you have been pivotal in my development and technique.

Hi love the channel. I'm from the Detroit area and have played since 1979. I've been lucky and blessed to be able to keep every bass I've ever owned. Started with a short scale Magnum jazz copy. Then came the Rickenbackers. Big Geddy Lee fan. Actually all setup/modified by the same luthier from Pyramid guitars that did Geddys,Tim Jagmin. A black 4001 and a red with gold hardware fretless 4003 both with Badass 2 bridges. A short scale Kay Rick copy fully upgraded by Tim and painted 1963 Corvette blue by my father. A headless Steinberger, a BC Rich Warlock, and a Pacific acoustic. A beautiful American Jazz with full vintage package. And just recently a J and a P new off of EBay for $60 each that are surprisingly good. Amps are a early 70s SVT stack a mid 70s Acoustic stack and a couple of practice amps. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping us all to keep slappin' the Bass!

Two things I've learned ... 1st. your instrument HAS to feel good, regardless of price ... and 2nd ... it ain't the bow and arrow, it's the Indian :) Current line up : Gliga Hybrid double bass, Pedulla 4 string Maple Thunderbolt Bass, Pedulla Cocobolla 4 string Thunder bass, Pedulla Cocobolla 5 string Thunder Bass, Fender USA Select P-Bass Sunburst flame maple top. Last but not least and I think my coolest, cheapest and most favorite, CIJ 1953 Fender P-Bass Sting signature bass. With an SD 1/4 pounder , Fender USA bridge and Thomastik flats, total killer Motown to Memphis bass. Remember, you get what you pay for, invest in your future, invest in your joy, you'll be glad you did. Btw ... love the Ibanez Talman (or whatever), awesome sound, love the broken string , bent neck buzz, total cool ;)

I own 2 Bass guitars. #1 Bass - G&L L-1000 Passive Bass Boost, 4-string solid body red (original color), #2 Bass - Fender 4-string Kingman Hollow Body Acoustic Bass Guitar with pre-amp and built-in tuner. I have had many instruments over the course of my life. I started with a short-scale 4-string bass, oh-so-many years ago. Until I recently took some lessons I had always used a heavy pick to play with - was never good with my fingers. But my instructor helped me to overcome the pick-only way of playing. And as you (Scott) have mentioned in other videos, pick playing is and can give you some different sounds. Thanks for everything you've done for the music!

I had my heart set on a G&L LB-100, but I pulled the trigger on a barely used Nate Mendel P bass at a great price. I totally agree with you Scott. I can't see wanting anything more from a P bass. So comfy and sounds GREAT.

Thanks Scott. My pride and joy is a neck-through Carvin fretless jazz bass from the late 80s with recently updated active pickups. Has that nice growly sound you demo'd in your fretless. I also have a BB300 from those days that I'm glad I kept. And my daily driver is an Ibanez SR655 with a low B that I'm still learning how to get around on.

One blue Fender Jazz Bass, one Jackson active 5 string in a deep blue burst finish and an off brand 5 string with a pre-Gibson Tobias style body with P+J pickups. The off brand is currently in pieces getting de-fretted. I also have 2 guitars; a Jackson Rhoades V and a Guild classical which is my pride and joy; the most beautiful instrument I've ever owned. It was a crazy Brit with uber-mad bass skills by the name of Scott Devine that resparked my interest in bass and got me to set the Guild aside a bit. Your lesson: 'Killer Bass Exercise to Build Your Technique, Fluidity and Harmony Chops' changed my whole approach to bass and actually got me to dust off the Jazz Bass :) Big, Sincere, Heart Felt Thanks, Scott :)

Been playing for roughly a year now. Got 3 basses so far. My first one was an Ibanez GSR-190, which was a good, cheap bass buuuuttt i kinda didn't like it's shape and neck. Soon after I bought that one I got a Fender CB100E acoustic which I really like (even though it's very cheap for an acousitc bass). And las but not least my absolute favorite is the Epiphone Thunderbird Pro IV I bought just 2 month ago I just love its shape is awesome and the tapered c neck is very nice. Plus it looks really nice in natural oil with its maple and walnut through neck ^^

I have a Squier P-Bass my kid brother bought for Christmas about 20 years ago to get me playing again after a 15 year layoff. Since then I have aquired a Sonata acoustic electric, a Yamaha BBN5 strung with flatwounds, a Fender Deluxe P-Bass Special, a Dean Stylist hollow body, a Squier Jaguar bass, a Squier Fretless Jazz bass, an Epiphone Viola bass, a DIY Jazz bass and a bass that I built by taking a Squier Strat body, replaced the 3 pick-ups with diesel bass pick-ups, replaced the strat neck with a jazz neck and wired the selector switch to select the pick ups the same as the strat selector.

Thanks for sharing your bass collection with us. I have a Fender MM Jazz Bass with an ash body and rosewood board. I've upgraded pickups and pots to be the equivalent to and American Standard. Sounds great and has been my main bass for 10 years. I bought my son a Squire Jaguar short scale bass to learn on. After stringing it with Rotosound flats it sounded so good we've left it stock. I'm currently making a P-bass for myself because Fender doesn't make one with the little extra modifications I want and I've always wanted to build a bass. It should be done in a month or two.

I've only got one, but it's a Kubicki X-factor from 1990 when Fender made them in their custom shop. It's a sweet bass; it's got a 32 inch scale and an extension on the E string.

Converted guitarist/Uke player to bass in the last three months and love it! Only have one bass (Fender Squier Jaguar Vintage Modified with a Fender Rumble 25 amp). I can't stop playing, haven't touched my Martin or LTD Eclipse in months. Look forward to trying one of those Kala U Bass out (got three Ukes) Thanks for the great vids and can't wait to try your lessons once I've a few quid in bank! (Yorkshire accent)

Loved the video, especially good to see the old P-bass being well represented! I've only ever owned one bass, mainly because I've never found another that felt as good! Not even a pricey one: 1987-ish Fender Precision (Japanese) with DiMazio pickups, glittery red finish. Broken tone knob, on it's 3rd rewire, 2nd scratchplate! Love it so much. Like an old pair of slippers :-)

Hi Scott, Love what you do. My ax is a Status 5 String series II , graphite neck thru body which I have owned for 28 years. It has no head stock and is tuned from the bridge, and has active pickups. My rig is a Trace Elliot AH500 steero head with 12 band graphic, with a single cab 15"" and a 2 x 10"" plus horn in the other cab.Tight growly sound. Love it. Cheers, John Walsh.

I'am a Fender lover. My first bass bought in 1970 is a Precision Bass, yellow white now. I also have a deep blue 1968 Musicmaster Bass short scale, a yellow white 1969 Telecaster Bass. And the latest is a blue 2000 five strings Jazz Bass Roscoe Buck signature. Sometimes I play too my short scale violin bass Jim Harley. Congratulation Scott for your personnal collection and for the quality of your courses...

Holy cow love that fretless thing! What was it again please Scotty. My collection stated with my first bass,a jazz copy,which I still have but looks rough. I had a 78 Rickenbacker and always regret selling it but got my dream bass a Stingray 4 & a 5 later on. Last year got a bargain 2nd hand full fat German Warwick Thumb for £700! and recently my wife bought me for Christmas a Fender Flea Jazz which is awesome. Amps are Ashdown,gigging and practice. Cheers Scott.

Great vid, dude! It's always fun for me to see what instruments people have, that way I can learn about different and cool instruments. Personally, I have a 5 string Mexican jazz bass and a vox phantom 4 from about 63-65 but I'm really wanting to get a P bass. I love P basses, I am not entirely sure why I don't have one yet.

Thanks for posting this vid! I've just got two basses at the moment: both Warwick Corvette 5 string $$ - one is a limited edition, the other a custom. limited is a poplar burl top, swamp ash body, ovankgol neck, and wenge fingerboard. custom is a swamp ash body stained burgandy with a solid wenge neck (no additional fretboard). both are absolute monsters. I had a bubinga Corvette Standard, but it's since been sold. Both my amps are Mesa/Boogie. the tube is a Big Block 750 played through a Powerhouse 1200 cab. solid state is a Subway D-800 with the 15" Subway cab.

I've got a bass from 1972, it's my first bass and I got it for free. I love playing on it and it's definitely gotten me into playing bass, it's in near perfect conditioned and was owned by my Grandfather who was a bassist for a very long time. It's made in Japan and it's a Fender Squire Bullet Bass but it's just super cool

I‘m playing a Furch B62 5-string fretless acoustic with daddario rounds. For me the best acoustic bass I ever played with its wonderful spruce top an walnut body. Love the sound through my Glockenklang 1x12’ Combo. As you can imagine I play in 2 folkbands. I also have a german build Warwick 5-string corvette with bubinga-body for the rocky moments. Love your videos. You inspire me very much! Greets from Germany 🤘🏻

Thanks Scott for the tour of you basses, ... Here is a quick list of mine, 2005 Gibson Thunderbird (thunder chicken) 4 string bass. I just love this one but I need to do some work on it to get it up to par. I was always a 4 stringer but recently bought a 5 stringer and I just love them as well. I found a new passion for the 5 string basses. So I bought a Cort 5 stronger to see if it was meant for me. In the last few months, I have adjusted to the 5 strings and absolutely love the option of that low string now and I am getting used to it. I liked the 5 string so much that I went out and bought another 5 string bass online. it is a german bass called Warwick (thumb) bass. Funky looking but has a great sound. Last night I installed new pots and put in an Audere preamp, round strings, and aligned the neck. I was up until 3am. lol. it is just awesome now. I am enrolled in your online school and have gained quite a lot of information from the lessons that are there and I will probably enroll for a lifetime member next year. You need to keep up the good work and continue all that you do for the industry and for our fellow bassist. We are gaining a lifetime of teachings from you. Thank you my friend.

I started with a peavy bass from a rental company with a rackety tuning key. The bass I've had for like 20 years now is an early run Epiphone Rock bass with the solid maple body. Recently put Quarter Pounders in it. It weighs a metric ton, but I love it. Tried playing my buddies violin style bass one practice, and felt like it came from Mars.
