yeah, I guess since they always fade in the back they have less egos, guitarists are mostly just pricks, source: am a guitar player.

Bassist usually have a more laid back less stressful personalities

That and the groove. It gets in your soul

We live in the groove

Bass players=less girls less girls=less problems Less problems=happy bass players

The first thing I look for when buying a new bass---or guitar, is the nut width so no, you're not a picky bugger! Just to add my two penn 'orth, a P Bass neck can be anything from about 41.5mm to 45mm depending on the exact model and the age. My first Fender many years ago was a 1962 Precision which had a nut width of 45mm. Lovely!

Yes, it does have a jazz neck profile as he said it did. Nut width is another matter.

Turning this comment in the picky buggers section, the color of the PJ isn’t frost blue but lake placid blue, one of the most classic colors on fender line

@@sandro9898 Indeed sir, I have a 2017 Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass PJ in the same Lake Placid Blue, black pick guard. It look as nearly identical, except the VM has a gloss neck and a high mass bridge.

@@donnix768 yeah it’s a great looking bass, if I may suggest, try putting a tortoise pickguard on it, think it’ll look awesome

Agreee! Love their banter.

Ahahaha yessss!! Exactly

Facts!! I love this channel but never watch it if it’s not Nathan and lee! They need to write a solo album together

The Chapman stick. Nahhh jk 🤣

I'm a Guitarist and I wholeheartedly Agree 100%.

It's super, super well-loved and still underrated

Porn not doing it for you anymore?

What?! I’m not even a bassist, and I watch every episode of All about the bass, because these guys are both funny and superb players. P.S Its also worth noting that the older gentleman is the bassist for Frost* !!!

Nathan King is the Brother of Mark King and plays Guitar in Level 42!

@@caprise-music6722 Both these guys just blow me away anytime I have seen them. Very talented players.

Could you please elaborate on this. I've never owned a maple fretboard, but my next purchase will be. I wonder what you mean.

@lidiaspazzard I prefer all maple necks on fretted instruments because (from my perspective) they tend to sound brighter and a bit more articulate than rosewood. An added bonuses are: They don't dry out like rosewood and are far easier to keep clean. For me, they're also more aesthetically pleasing. However, I do prefer rosewood fretboards on my fretless basses because they complement the warm tones. Actually, I've only played an all maple fretless one and I didn't like it whatsoever. Which is why they're so rare. In summation: The all maple necks suit the sound I prefer, but I'm sure others feel differently. Ultimately, if you can find identical basses (one maple, one rosewood) you can judge which one you prefer. I sincerely hope that helps.

@@TenFalconsMusic Thanks for the reply. I've never been able to do a sound comparison between the two, but I certainly agree that maple is more aesthetically appealing. I wasn't aware that they are easier to clean or don't dry out as much though. I'll look into that. They seem rarer too. They never seem to pop up for me, so I'm gonna go get a new one. Anyway, thanks again.

Is the body thinner than the CV lineup ?

@@r3b0rn80 definitely

Lee and Nathan?

@@charliet.sanford2495 Nathan ofc. My bad. So long since I've seen them. Fixed it now. Thanks.

Pete’s amazing but he’s a guitarist

@@andertons if Mr Peter Honoré was here taht's for sure something he would say!

Into sounded like primus or one of les claypools bands? Probably wrong but..... Cheers good luck

They do but only in the starter pack

The jazz bass matches your suit! Looks like a winner! Happy Birthday 🎂

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your Squier. It sucks to learn on an instrument that's not treating you right. However, I've been playing for 40 years and I have never had any trouble with any of my Squiers. They require maintenance and repair like any guitar. I'm not in love with every single Squier pickup and wiring harness I've ever owned, and I've replaced some, but none have failed. Similarly, I've occasionally been annoyed by the amount of play that develops in the tuners over they years, but I've never had to replace them, as I can still tune up accurately and stay i n tune. My #1 gigging bass is a stock Indonesian Squier Mustang. It's 10 years old and rings like a bell. #2 is a parts bass I made that has an old Squier Affinity P-Bass neck.

@@jkf9167 Hey Josh. Firstly, am very happy to hear that your experience with Squier has been better than mine. The tragedy with my instrument has been I was head over heels in love with the instrument. It sounded exactly how I wanted it to and honestly, preferred the sound even over some fender Mexican models. I have a 70s vintage modified jazz bass with entire bass being made from maple and because of that, it sounds so bright yet resonant. Hence I was so sad to see it completely disintegrate the way it did. The funny thing was, most of my buddies who bought squiers had very similar problems and for most of us, we got to the point where repairing the instrument would actually cost us as much as buying a new one. That bass I bought will be with my forever no question, but I do wish it would have held together for a while longer 😊.

Hardware is very replaceable.

I have had my VM Jaguar bass for about 4 years and it has been gigged plenty. Other than changing the strings then I have done nothing to it. My mate also bought one as he liked mine. He uses it to teach so it has been carted around lots and again he has had no problems.

@@emleyjames5626 wow seems my friends and I have been dealt a rather bad hand with squiers then😂.Perhaps I do stand corrected.

They used to years ago

👍🤣😂😃

Specs are probably on the website. There was a post about how the neck was in the middle between the J and P width wise. The nut shouldn't effect p-up spacing much, where as the bridge would much more. I think the biggest problem would be if it fit the pocket.

I never meant to swap a 32’’ neck with a 34’’ one… I just wish Squier would make a 34’’ version of their already existing Jaguar so I could use a 34’’ fretless neck (I know there is a Mexican one but it has a P/J design)

Good question… Affinity series have a slimmer body so a smaller weight should be expected. Too bad they didn’t use basswood which is less dense and less heavy than poplar :-/

Seen a site that quotes the Jazz it stocks as weighing 8lb 4oz.

Ibanez Mezzo covers that ground at a similar budget?

The Classic Vibe Jaguar has a P-J configuration and is medium scale.

NO ! Not necessarily, Bartolini p-ups are well thought of and most are Ceramic. I prefer the sparkle of AlNiCo for guitar, but for bass either sound good w one more traditional and sweet, and the other w more punch and low end. Ceramic gets a dirty name, because the magnets ARE cheaper and used on crappy budget p-ups.

Sorry

@@andertons meh, not your fault.. squire need to get their act together. i would absolutely buy that LPB bass lee is playing if it was a lefty. ☹️
