Both sound great... classic j-bass "burp." I think the CS has just slightly more articulation in the upper register. But it's very close and I would take either.
cool video. i own the am pro2 roasted pine 5 string and love it. . i reckon the am has more modern hardware and sonds better without costing an arm or leg
If the idea is to show the differences in the tone of a bass with a Maple fingerboard vs. a Bass with a rosewood fingerboard, it seems like an interesting video to me. Otherwise the comparison should be between models with fingerboards of the same material for it to be a fair comparison.
@@ObraBass Thanks for the answer. For standard E tune I also prefer the 40-100. But the band I play in , tuned down D. The bass I use in that band has 50-110. The 40-100 in D tuning feels like spagetti.
The Precision Bass is for me the most classic vintage sound possible. However, this does not make it the best bass when it comes to having a single instrument. At that point the Jazz Bass will always be a much more versatile bass with which you can record all types of music. Even to a certain extent you can get a similar tone to the P Bass using only the mic close to the fretboard, while the P bass will need to have the bridge mic to sound like a Jazz. The best example is the bassist of Janni in Acropolis. A precision Jazz bass sound.
@@alzate_3d it depends on what you mean by "versatility"....you are meaning now that a bass (jazz in this case) is versatile if it is able to emulate other bass models...so a Jazz is versatile because it can emulate a P, a PJ is versatile because it can emulate a Jazz and so on...on the contrary for me a versatile bass is a bass not needing to emulate other model sound in order to be versatile: a P is more versatile than a Jazz because it cuts the mix also if it has a only one main tone/sound, and a Stingray is more versatile than a P because it cuts the mix more than a P
As a guitarist I was interested in the professional 2 telecaster Miami Blue, UNTIL I played a G&L FULLERTON ASAT CLASSIC ‼️ The G&L IS A MUCH BETTER BUILT GUITAR THAN FENDER PROFESSIONAL 2 TELECASTER AND IT'S ON STEROIDS ‼️ So I want a G&,L . Don't get me wrong, I have an 🇺🇸 strat and just got a 2018 butterscotch fender player telecaster for $350 in great shape and the tele' is awesome ‼️
Agree. The factory-produced American Fenders’ built quality varies a lot. While the G&L Fullerton and CLF research guitars and basses have better craftsmanship.
Another great video! The Custom sounds "better" to my ears, but only very slightly. Funny thing is I can't afford either of them anyway 😂
Both are awesome basses. And they sound very similar. 👍 Nice video!
Svaka čast na ovako objektivnoj komparaciji 😊
Hvala 👍
Thank you for this great comparison, as always. Both sounds very similar to my ears.
Than You for watching 👍
Great instruments that sound wonderful. They are very similar, but the CS seems to me to be clearer and more defined.

Thanks for this. I think the Custom Shop might sound a little better? But definitely not a few thousand dollars better. The Am Pro II is pretty great.
yeah, I'm not sure custome shop is worth the extra money unless you want to pay an extra $3000 for the relic job
CS has a thicker bottom end
The CS is a little fatter, the other a little more dry, but not night and day difference.

Bravo👍🤝

Did you enjoy the video? Did you find it interesting?
Hi Obrad, Do you prefer this kind of light string gauge? 40-95? Or do you use heavyer on your other basses? Great comparison by the way.
On my basses I use 40-95 and 45-100. I'm done with heavier strings 🙂

@@ObraBass I still use the ultra heavy Deep Talkin Flats! I will never stop! They just sound way too good!
Custom Shop sounds much better.
pickups and fingerboard wood make the sound difference
Wood of the body
absolutely not, the body wood doesn’t change the sound because IF it makes it it’s not perceptible by the human ear
The P-Bass wins this comparision
the Stingray wins this comparison 🙂

And pears win over peaches.
I have both Ps and Js. I spend most of my time on the Js and if I could have only one, it would be the J.

The 64th sounds a little more thoroughbred
Am pro sounds snappier.
They sond like Squiers 🤣🤣🤣
