I'm 6 and a 1/2 minutes into your video review.And you still haven't even plugged the damn thing in...

I have the btb1935 best bass I've ever owned, graphite reinforced neck, stainless frets, zero fret, aguilar pups amazing balance and feel. tuning is super stable. the 35" scale keeps the b from being to floppy and, if you don't like the tone, the bass isn't the problem

1. Leo may have not created the first electric guitar but he most definitely created the first fretted electric bass. 2. A stingray’s pickup is no where near the precisions placement.

Overall, I think the Jackson is better, but by no means is the Ricky bad. The Jackson is cheaper, easier to mod, better bridge, and the 24 frets along with the sculpted neck joint. Note that the pickup placement in the Jackson is also wildly different from most standard PJ basses, with the neck being further away from bridge than normal. This is obviously so that it mirrors the pickup placement of the Ricky.

34 I’m sure is for 34” full scale neck, vs short scale

Jackson!

I love my Jackson. Being primarily a guitar player, and despite owning some premium priced guitars, I just couldn’t really justify the price of a Rickenbacker…especially as it would only be played occasionally. But I love the look…and the Jackson has a great vibe. (And sound.) If I were a bass player, I’d probably just get both…along with a P, a J, and probably a bunch of others as well.

Cool tks

I just bought a 3 year old😮 7:17

Great demo tks

I've not handled the Squire VI but my MIJ 1995 Fender VI has all the same intonation problems that I've heard about the Squier VI. Since I'd spent $2,000 and knew the MIJ was going to be as good as I could get, I set out to fix it and succeeded. It now plays like a dream! What I had to do was: • Remove the A and low E intonation springs to get the full range of the screw • Max out the bridge height • Put 1.5 degrees of shim in the neck pocket (thanks StewMac) • Put La Bella .95 gauge flatwound strings on it (factory is .85) • Loosen the neck bolts to adjust the truss rod several times • Put two copper fittings (58077 Sleeve Bearing) in the bridge ferrules to make it not rock aka go out of tune just by looking at it • Replace the low E intonation screw with a half length one because when configured properly that string vibrates against that screw Anyway, hope anyone looking to fix up one of these finds this useful.

Love doggie

😂

super helpful thank you

I love the bongo! I had that exact one, with that Barolo color, if im correct that color is based on one John Petrucci’s majesty color, I wish they added the 4 band eq to the stingrays

Fender sounds good... Squier airy rich.....

There is a massive difference, take both on the road and you will find the Fender holds up..

Yes, there is a big difference in quality.

Would you recommend this Spector model or a Schecter Charles Berthoud model?

Dude for like 30 years I never really cared to figure out what that little thumb bar was for. Or tug bar as you called it. I thought it was just for a left-handed bassist if they flipped it upside down. Thanks for that little tidbit😂

Hello, im considering buying one of this basses brand new for 900usd. How do you feel it compared to an ibanez sr500? Its worth ?

While both sounded pretty good, I think the Mesa hit harder with a bit more solid bottom. I'm wondering if the high pass filter on the mesa has something to do with that?

Thanks Bud, really helpful review/ demo

I wish they came in more colors

All the demos with the control adjustments sound nearly identical coming through my studio monitors. Super bass-heavy, no articulation.

Great comparison. Thank you.. I love that T-shirt as well. I need to find one like that. I have some 45s.

The G&L is nice

My Fender PBass stays in tune My Squire seems to be out of tune often. I also have funky dead spot on the B of the G String with my Squire. Plus when I got the Squire it needed fret work. It had sharp edges and they looked un finished. The pots on my Squire seem loose. The Fender seem to have better pots. That being said for the price a Squire is an awesome first bass, but you will probably move on quickly to a better bass

They are great basses.

Just ordered mine and im so excited for it! looks beautiful

I think the Jackson had a more modern contemporary sound and was slightly brighter. I think if it was mixed well, you wouldn’t hear the different. Ultimately, a Rick is a Rick, but for a third of the price, the Jacksonbacker takes the win here

I agree the build quality of the Fender is a little superior, but sound-wise, they are very similar - it's hard to tell the difference to be honest.

Great video. It’s down to preference really. I currently own a Squier Affinity PJ bass. I like it. I owned a 70s jazz bass for decades. I prefer a precision bass.

Have you tried it on distortion? I'm thinking of buying this bass for metal/ rock bass.

Why is the Dingwall so muddy? Although it's the longest scale. So the 1505 sounds piano clear and resonant.

Do you feel like the body is huge?

The top grain is a sticker.

Are there aftermarket bridges that will work on the Squier?

You got yourself a nice bass.

For me the key parts you mentioned are, gigging with an acoustic/semi acoustic trio and smaller bar gigs/smaller rooms. That's not my gig and not what I need, as much as I love TEs and the look of it. Good review though, and sounds great. So, gigging as long as it's small gigs and you don't need much grunt... 👌

I love Fender Jazz Bass

I would like to know if the Squier's neck is versatile, do you find it smooth, what modifications would you make to the electronics, if any need?

Do they both have Jazz necks 🤔

Was the Asat bass the last production G&L bass that Leo Fender designed?

It floors me that nobody weighs these bases nobody Waze any bases😢

A lagendary bass and a rickenbacker 😂😂😂😂 Nice vídeo.

You can’t really compare Both Basses because the Squier has roundwound strings on and the fender has flatwounds on. With different Type of strings the comparison is misleading - sorry.

Expensive as Hell but I had to get one! I got this same exact bass, same color. Ya can't play no Lemmy without a Rick! And Yes I took the pickup cover junk off as well as the mandatory Hip Shot swap

I Love me some big ole baseball bat-Fender p bass necks! That fatness is the reason I sound great while everyone else plays some tinny Ibanez soundgear crap bass sounding like crap....that's a load of crap
