Thanks for your thoughts regarding the low output. I hadn't seen any other reviews mentioning it until now.

Is this a bass channel or political activist channel?

i wholey agree with your z3 opinion. it sounds great, it was just not comfy to play. I have a ray34 that i love but it weighs 12 lbs thus i always keep an open mind for a replacement.... that bass is still more comfortable to play than the z3.

Cool i had somewhat the same idea too, but with the joe dart sterling.

Zoom makes some good, affordable stuff! I'm currently using the MS60B+. It's not perfect but I love it!

Poof the bassist

Hey Floof, enjoyed the vid. As much as I enjoy my Sire Z, I'm not going to drag you over the coals for a personal opinion which you are absolutely entitled to. Swim against the tide if you don't like where the tide is taking you, I say. Have a good one!

Who cares about batteries if it can be powered by usb, which makes it being powered by power bank? Other than that I totally agree. I actually bough it with this intend - check what I want in the future. Plus, to have a very solid headphone amp powered by a power bank :)

I’ve dreamed of this configuration for so long 🙏

Pleased for you. I've been where you are, reunited with a bass I sold, it's a great feeling combination of relief and awe.

Its a shane there was so much comedic jabbering and not enough about how the thing actually works and sounds

Time for some Rickenjazzlicks! Congrats on getting ya Rick

Glad to see you back

I never associate a ric with playing clean, but it sounds so wonderful in your hands! Congrats on the reunion!

We are so back!! Can't wait for the 2024 floofies.

You have a new 4003s and your original 4003s back? Happy for you Floofster.

They are built so well. That was my first American made bass and I have to say sent me on a deep dive since......

is that a sock on the mic?

Too much fret buzz for my liking

great sounding but very uncomfortable bass, not bad when sitting down tho

Four AA batteries provide greater amp-hour capacity than a single 9V battery. This results in a longer-lasting performance. Additionally, 9V batteries waste energy when operating at the lower voltages this unit uses. Consequently, for energy efficiency, AA batteries are a better choice. You can still plug a 9v in with a pigtail if you have extras lying around.

I must say i prefer the vintage sound. It really allows that neck pickup to shine through when you have both enguaged.

The internet needs more (sponsor-free and honest) reviews like this. Thanks for putting this out there man!

I bought 3 player 2 p basses and returned them all . Cracked neck pockets Crap tuners Ng

i,ve gigged with it for over 2 years , for the money it is fantastic and also if anything gets stolen its cheap to replace , and the sansamp patch is very good in ,MHO

Greetings from the future where Epiphone did release the Grabber bass. So your wish was granted :)

Get a phone charger...it works perfect

They modified the pickups and bridge hardware too per fender website.

Hehe, I did the same thing with my 2002 EBMM Sterling 4H, but... 1. Changed the ceramic MM humbucker to a passive Häussel MM pickup (wired to my specs), and added Fender Pure Vintage '63 P-Bass PUs. 2. Made the bass passive with a well thought out circuit allowing for serial/paralel/split of the humbucker and 3-way switching between the pickups, as well as mixing the two PUs in the "both" position with a blend pot. And, man, this thing rawcks 😎 TIP1: When you reverse the P-Bass pickups (the D-G PU being on the neck side - like Yamaha did it on the BB300, e.g.), you can place the E-A pickup exactly in it's original Fender position. This is actually also good for a more even tone. TIP2: With the reduced string spacing of the Sterling bass (> Jazz Bass like neck), I put the Fender Pickups in a little slanted, so the strings really run dead center between the poles.

Heart of the Sunrise ! Ok, you’re cool.

499 subscribers? I’ll subscribe just to make it 500. Oh hey, you’re playing Jaco?? Ok, 500 it is.

Boring is good

Great review. Once again you have taken a unique perspective that I have not heard before. Now I feel like I know WHY everyone seems to love this bass. My cat has bombed my business phone calls in the past so this video resonated with me from that perspective also. Why do they do that?

I think the issues of neck dive and right arm comfort are solved by wearing your strap a little higher. I just got this bass and it doesn't fall at all. Also because the body is so thin my right arm wraps around it well and doesn't rub on the edge.

So nobody has claimed their upright yet I see 🤔. That's convenient for you. I would also suggest your videos would sound more adult-like if you didn't drop the f-bomb all the time? I'm not a square or anything but you want to cater to all demographics, don't you? Just some constructive criticism. Buttercream is one of my favorite as well

Like the script, very entertaining and interesting.

One thing P-Basses have which other basses lack is simpicity. There is no elaborate active circuitry, preamps, batteries, EQ controls and the like. It's just a single pickup, volume tone and jack. That also makes them easier to mod.

Boring in the bass world is generally good (at least on the recording side of things & working with producers & artists).

Own that bass, too. Swapped the pickup for a 60s Aguilar and the tuners for Hipshots, love it 😁

P bass is all I know. I started with a squire 60s P that was great at the time but mediocre compared to my Fender vintera I 50s p bass, I got a good price for it right before the vintera II came out. That single bass has given me the sounds I want, and I don't think I could bring myself to use anything else, although I do want to try a jazz or stingray at some point.

Are my eyes deceiving me or do those knobs that are loose have set screws in them?

Sounds a lot like a Warwick GPS Corvette (i think thats what theyre called). Which would make sense if you compare the pickup placements

My favorite toy ,tool

Chewed out by a beaver! 😂 I’ve been playing bass for almost 40 years, I bought one of these, not because it’s a great playing instrument, because I wanted to experiment with modding a bass. I’d rather trash one of these instead of a quality bass, so this is a good bass for learning, if you want to learn be a luthier. You didn’t mention the pickups, while functional they have maybe 10 winds around the barely magnetic poles. Definitely not quality and I would recommend a Squire or and Ibanez for a beginner bass. Glarry and the other cheap ones you can buy are not cheap after you upgrade them to make them playable. But I’d still rather trash one of these learning to mod over another brand. Good honest video!👍

Stop talking, let me just listen

😐 meh...a poor mechanic blames the tools.

This bass player deserves more attention

I have a G1xFour that I hacked to be a B1xFour when I switched over to bass as my main instrument. Even better, someone's compressed a bunch of the effects so you can fit more on, and I could keep soem guitar stuff. I'm honestly very impressed with it's Darkglass and SVT emulations. The quality of the effects goes up and down - a lot of them are only "okay" but there's some gems in there for sure.

Try using a tuner on notes up and down the neck- DRs have appalling intonation but they do SOUND great. SITs have the best intonation from my experience
