Blake is the only one the "feels" good to me

Fender Squier 70's Vibe Jazz bass is like $440. So it's not too bad to have an all-around affordable bass that is from Fender. I have to argue that a Jazz bass is so much more versatile than a Stingray or a Precision bass. Stingrays sound amazing, but in my opinion, Jazz bass is the way to go for beginners and pros alike.

Nice

Ninjadrummer is the best audition ever

Everyone seems to hate on acoustic basses but I got one this christmas from my dad and its awesome and is a very welcome addition to my bass arsenal. I love it alot and its super nice being able to just have it next to me on the couch and I can just grab it whenever I want and play it without having to plug into an amp and grab a bass to play. Its a really great thing. I do agree with you on the thumb rest, I have played with a pick most of the time but decided I should improve on finger style. It does make it a bit harder but im getting used to it!

I have a Sterling Sub Ray 5 I love it, It even had the intonation set almost perfect right out of the box. Mine has 2 pickups which cost a little more, but way less than a Music Man.

My favorite is Arthur dubois th-cam.com/video/sj8Ub-_69oA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=anHUaBSSpi4ulMNG

Happy New Year to you!

StingRays are my basses of choice! I've got Jazz Basses and P-Basses also but I feel like StingRay was designed for me. I feel home having my 2000 StingRay in my hands.

I have a sterling stingray and I've owned us made music man and Ernie Balls, the Sterling is an excellent instrument. Very light weight as you indicated. I play it more than my vintage p basses and j .basses.

I REALLY WANT THAT FRETLESS...IT'S MY OBJECT OF DESIRE...

WONDERFUL VIDEO...CONGRATS... BTW, ALL THE VINTAGE BASSES ( OR GUITARS , AMPS WHATEVER ) WERE NEW ONCE... THE ONLY SPECILALITY IS THAT, THE FAMOUS USER ( OR THE GROUP ) THAT IT HAS BEEN USED...NOT JUST BEING OLD, VINTAGE OR RARE... SOME COLLECTORS SPEND THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A VINTAGE GUITAR OR BASS...MEANINGLESS...JUST MEANINGLESS....MONEY DON'T GROW ON TREES BOYS...

Whoa! You took your Bass to the beach! Happy New Year! I enjoy your channel for your calm delivery and lack of hype or ego. It all comes through as you being honest. Keep it up!

I own it and love it.

The Boss bass overdrive pedal is definitely a love it or hate it box- I think it sounds like a hive of angry bees, not a fan. Boss makes another super overlooked bass pedal though, which is similar sounding to the Dark Glass, it's called the BB1-X (I own it and love it). Part of the reason why it's overlooked is because it's digital (and expensive). Putting that aside, it sounds very natural, organic and definitely could be an "always on" kinda pedal. It goes from super subtle on low settings, just a mild enhancement, to full on fuzz when the dials are on max. There is also a mix knob to blend the wet/dry signal. The pedal also features low noise and a balanced output via a 6.35mm TRS output (if you want to connect it to your balance inputs).

Plastic feeling heavy and overall strange.

Happy New Year’s I can relate a lot to this video. My acoustic bass is my main bass. Most of my songs are just my acoustic bass and my vocals. Your Crafter looks beautiful. I’m looking forward to the second part of this video. Have a Happy New Year’s!!!

Sweet!

I agree! Here in Brazil, people are going nuts with the value of these vintage basses and equipment.

I love Phish's music, and that makes me a real rarity among Phish Heads, who mostly pretend to be virtuous thieves on nitrous oxide slinging dirty meth while calling it Molly. I think Phish is lying about their audience. I think Phish hates their live crowd. Real musicians avoid the lot scene entirely!

Josh is a full red hat MAGA. Good luck fitting in. 😂😘

Yesh man, I was singing along as well, primus sucks!

The number one drummer technique is incredible with his Moller technique

Hey, thanks for the shoutout! Means a lot!

Thank you for featuring me, dude!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Josh has great Infometal vids on his chanel where he plays drum fills over metal riffs with Alex Jones ranting over it. Very funny and great drumming. He is solid as a rock and has the right amount of quirkiness for Primus. He is also the guy from the Larsisms shirts.

The, how close, but not quite, of all these guys are really just shows how great Herb is. Also, I just disagree with your list.

Thumbs up for Quicksand if nothing else

Great message ... I remember being on 48th street NYC ,, SAM ASH had a 6 string john Patitucci model for $5000 ... back in 2005 ,,, just hangin out on their wall of basses ,,, I loved it ,,, should have bought it .. that bass now sells for over $10000 easy ... to have it made prob cost $200000 ... Its the bass that John Patitucci first album cover ,,, I still think about it ,,❤😂

I respect you opinion.....BUT I'll never let my vintage basses including the 1978 P-Bass go out. They are still a good investment and hold their value...the new ones DO NOT! I agree with you the price of vintage guitars is off the charts......

I guess they didn't trust that enough people from the "McCartney crowd" would buy this over a Hofner. But round wounds are a joke on this instrument. La Bella nylon wound transformed this into a quasi-upright monster for me. Then, I equipped it with a Realist LifeLine piezo. Fits right into the treble side of that wooden bridge and blends beautifully with the mini humbuckers. The output jack can be stuffed into the round end of the bottom f-hole. Finally, it deserves better tuners than those plastic headed abominations. Affordable Gotoh compact bass tuners dropped right in, no drilling necessary. Made a WORLD of difference.

No Mike Machine? Cmon dude...

Josh gets my vote. A total natural

Thanks for doing these reviews, very cool. I’m Greg Russell…from your list. th-cam.com/video/KFbcag8wWLY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LfEFkVDvWY2ZEu0P This is the link to my submission.

Try Betto! Ninjadrummer is his channel, he's bloody fantastic.

I smell a round three.. Primus Audition: A Chance to Suck th-cam.com/play/PLqWZMtE8GcIaDvXU-4IDXu9NikDspksek.html

damn you missed mine, These are all great but mine smashes on all of them. Check it out. Love your channel.

I just saw an audition by a guy from Brazil , can't remember his name but he had the best audition tape yet. I think he goes by ninjadrummer

Is this Joe J? No effin way. It's gotta be.

I can still remember the first one I heard when I was 15 before I was even a guitarist and just how surprisingly quiet it was *and that was 31 years ago! lol* They're not useless and yet 90% of them still are not what you're really hoping it to be. I love bass but on the other hand I play primarily 6 and 8-string guitar so when I'm not playing bass at least once a week, *I can't expect an acoustic bass will change that.*

It’s hard to tell how it really sounds when listening to this on an iPhone.

What’s the Watts?

It is not that I don't like string instruments taking a sound in another direction, don't get me wrong. I try to do similar things by using a hollowbody 12 string and playing several synth pedals with it. But the 8 string bass is, alas. not the thing I seek. I thought that the sound would make the bass sound more growling, but instead I hear that this kind of bass sounds lighter. I understand that people seeking for '' other'sounds may like it, but it still is not the thing for me.

My favorite, for now, is Rick Kinney : th-cam.com/video/8kmpmd38qcM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NqO3RPpikK0HBc8n

Did any of your pics get an in person interview in California with the band?

Go watch. John Hoffman's audition he smokes everybody hands down 100%

Thank you, Sir. You gave me great insight into the reasons why sometimes one should be playing the acoustic bass, instead of an electric one. I believe that, on top of all the reasons you have very wisely pointed out, there are song parts which would never sound the same if performed with an electric instrument. Today is one week before Xmas 2024 day and a fortnight before New Years Day 2025. Let me wish you a Happy Season, and a successful brand new 12 month period! Hope someday you visit my country, if you havent already done so. I am in LISBOA, capital city of PORTUGAL. Give us the great honour of spending some time here. Then you can move on to neighbour Spain, France and wander around, blessing the rest of Europe with your art and musical talent, mate! Warm regards! God bless you!

All top knotch players! #1 and #2 I personally might rearrange not on precsion but on creativity. You should do Reaction Videos for auditions that are not playing Primus songs specifically. This guy: Rory Andrew Dolan is a solid and creative player - th-cam.com/video/JBJm4jYU1qkh/w-d-xo.htmlttps://th-cam.com/video/JBJm4jYU1qk/w-d-xo.html

Hey Everyone! I know that "Welcome to This World" is on Pork Soda! I made a copy & paste error during editing. This happens with me from time to time, but it's noted correctly in the video timeline, as well as the chapters. Thanks for watching this video and for all of the comments!!

Have you seen ninja drummer's audition since making this video? He just posted it 8 days ago so you may not have seen it yet. No disrespect to these gentlemen on this video, but I think he is the one!
