Whats a reasonable price to pay for one?

Sounds beautiful andy, must add to my wish list lush deep tones.

Lovely! I have a '79 sunburst with the teardrop case and bag but it's in nowhere near as good condition as this beauty. Now I want one like this! Very tasty bass playing BTW!

silky smooth 54

You Sir, are a wizzard in a blizzard!

A big solid fat sound out of that one for sure.

You took that bass and turned it into a f'in drum Andy. That was ace mate 😎 ❤

What strings did this one have?

Avri 64better

Probably I am only one bassist in the world, who hates Precision sound.

The action is too high, its killing the notes. Lower for the mwah sound.

Thanks Andy. 59’s tone is my preference. As someone else commented, would be nice if the original pickups were left in the bass for testing. Agreed, the neck on the AVRI is amazing. I have had one and it was very comfortable and stable.

Have an early 72 just like that, but with tort pick guard. It's an insane bass, so good on every level

wowsers, never seen one.......... ill have to look around and check them out. currently looking out for a Steiny Synapse 5 with the eq tone control...... I heard one a while ago and my goodness reminded me of the Factor bass from the 80s

Cool demo, as always, Andy. She is a gorgeous, snarly beast.

Cool looking bass Andy. Love the black binding. Nice jazz bass growl too.

Lovely bass and sounds great in slap mode, thank you.

Very nice, especially with the black binding and block inlays.

Are those rounds?

Nothing sounds like a well worn Jazz bass

The Deep Talking you used, are the Höfner light gauge 39 to 96, the low tension are quite a bit thicker gauge 43 to 100. Either way, i like both, and found both similar in tone. The "playability " would be a better comparison, as the much lighter gauge, would have compensated for the lower tension of the heavier gauge.

What is the neck profile like? I know some of them came with a “slim fit” neck more like a jazz.

great bass and playing

I can never stop telling this story; I bought a ‘73 Pbass at a Mom n Pop store back in ‘90… the owner wanted $500 for it..but instead, I went even up, swapping a ‘79 Ric for it. A few weeks later, he implied to me that I was a sucker for doing that,..because the Ric sold in days, and the 73P that I bought, was hanging on the rack for years,.. nobody wanted it _(you have to remember; throughout the 1980s, P Basses were NOT “En Vogue”)_ Fast-forward 3 years later,… and the word “old” was replaced with; “vintage”.. and then Fenders and Gibsons started to $hoot through the roof. I found myself at a gig playing my ‘73P, and some drunk dude was whipping out $2000 in cash begging me for it. _(that was back in ‘93 do the math what that would be today!)_ I say all that to say this; I owned a ‘73P & a ‘73J… But these days, to start paying $3000-$4000, even up to $5000 for those “CBS basses”? with the lack of quality control that was going on back then? That’s just crazy. They’re Not Worth that much. You’re better off seeking out; Olinto, MV, Moolon, Sire, or any of those similar companies, paying 3Gs, and getting MUCH MORE for your money. _(the PRE-CBS days, are a Whole Different story..lol)_ Just one older bass player’s opinion who’s been there, before all the hype started with F & G. 👴🏻

Your playing really shines on a jazz bass, perfect combination.

Awesome as always Andy! Well done. What a great tone ooof🥰 I’m wondering how you recorded it? What is the signal chain? Was it directly connected to the laptop? Or did you use mic in front of a cab? Or both? What DAW did you use?…. Sorry for asking too many questions 😊

Beautiful looking bass

Obviously, some rounds on that one.

I love your playing 🔥🎵🎶🎵 🔥 - the only reason I watch all your videos, even though I definitely can't afford one of your basses.

Cool Groove

Started bass in 1992, by today I.still don’t have a stingray, think it’s time for one.

Always thought this was Leo's best work,great bass with a unique tone and lends itself to slap playing so well.

Beautiful bass and you get a great sound out of it too! I’ve got a 77 Stingray and use it as my main bass on all recording sessions, you can also put some new mutes on that one and they give you a greater variety of tones. I played my stingray on a country track last week used the mutes, rolled off the treble and played at the bottom of the neck as opposed to over the pickup and got a convincing upright sound out of it even with rounds on it. Superb basses!

Very clean stinga Andy

Those pickups sound great, nice playing!

@ 3:07 When you turned off the tone, i got an eargasm

That's a cracker. Fretboard's a nice colour too 😎

Beautiful bass with a great tone, thank you.

Still got my 1996/97. Looks just like it did when it was new.

I can listen to you play all day

Just got the identical bass, incredible tone and playability ! No reissue comes close.

The earnie ball sounds amazing, a solid 8. The MusicMan is excelent, a perfect 10!

What a slap sound on the Daadario’s and your fine playing of course

Nice feeling man!

What string are on that bass :)

Nice man!

My first bass was a1970s red epiphone version, payed 30 quud for it in about 85. Loved that bass but it was stolen from me by two men, one of them had money the other had beer! Ohhh the regret 💔 Love the Bass Andy, thanks for the demo, and another great show had by all 😎 ("Let's Make Some Noise" Merch please 🙏 )

Fantastic sounding bass. Looks great too.

I have one of those!! Great basses.
