I just love that classic p-bass sound. I always go for full volume and full tone on non-active basses and fiddle with EQ further down the signal line, if necessary. Thanks Tyler, nice one mate.
The P is just the “sound in your head” so frequently! Nice! Opposite approach to me, but that’s what makes us all unique and gives us our respective tones. I’m just a sucker for the bass boost when you roll off the tone on a P! Thank you for the support my man. T
A P-bass like it should be, I think. How could anyone not like it?! If only there wasn't the price tag... Looks like you found the perfect instrument for you, congrats! Sounds killer with the tone at 50%. That's what really makes a good P-bass so versatile i.m.o., that pickup delivers so much bite, that can easily be controlled just by the tone pot. Simple but effective. Nice to see you well after that covid infection. Stay healthy!
My thoughts exactly! I love this P and its simplicity. Right around 75%-50% is where I have it on most gigs and recordings. Enough to cut, with a little extra booty from the slight tone roll-off. Thank you for the kindness, I’m feel good now thankfully! You too my man! T
Really like the reviews Tyler, it's refreshing to have younger folk's opinion on gear. I have recently bought a Fender American Pro series P bass (not the VII) and it is really superb. In agreement with the custom shop stuff, it would be my next purchase before a true vintage just for all the factors you mention. Great stuff!!
Thank you my man! Much appreciate the support! Can’t go wrong with those Pros, they come close to the customs, but if you want that vintage feel and sound, I think the CS is hard to beat! T
I built a quick and dirty 59 with a Squier CV Late 50's root beer sunburst and a hand scatter wound pickup from Reech at Epic Custom Shop by Detroit, his Black Gold model. Love the clang of the late 50s ones. It would be great in vids like this one if you played an actual tune or two, as well as the tone variants riffs.
Great review Tyler, you're pretty much playing my dream P bass right there, has the perfect amount of low mid grunt I would expect from a great P. I've always wanted a Fiesta red just because of how significant the color is, and I'm not even from the UK! What you've spec'd out makes total sense. The Pino signature is great, but quite frankly the price is exorbitant for what it is. I'd much rather spec the same exact bass but in NOS finish and save about 2 grand off the price. And this way you get to make your own relic if you put the time in, and not just copy Pino's bass.
Thanks Brett! That was my feeling too - I couldn’t see where the extra money was going on the Pino! Awesome to find someone else with similar tastes in Ps! T
Beautiful bass! I have a fender select series P Bass-nitrocellulose lacquer so I get to give it “my” own character lol. It’s the first bass guitar I’ve ever purchased and I love it very much.
I love it! I had a friend with a nitro Strat which looks like it’s been heavily relic’d when in reality it’s just from 2006 and been played on everything he’s done. Something to be said about making something your own imo! T
Sweet CS bass, also I hope you're feeling better! I love Precision Basses as well, the simplicity and the aggressive punch they have is irreplaceable for me, even for slapping, not to mention the flatwounds and that classic dark tone that other basses can't achieve, no matter how hard they try :) My two main axes are my '14 US Standard P and the 51 P replica from Squier, both are superb for any type of music, especially funk and disco.
Man, i'd love if you'd review an Ibanez like bass like the SR1600B and even show us how to make it sound like a vintage bass if possible. I'd really love to hear you play on some modern basses too
Great videos Tyler , very informative, that is a beautiful bass - a quick question please , what is the nut width ? Many thanks and keep up the great work !
Is the sound in this review straight from aguilar TH? Or are you mic’ng the amp? I didn’t see it mic’d but since you listed a microphone in the description I’m not so sure.
Thank you my man, and for the pointer on the links, I’ll get to those today! I agree, CS modern production with vintage specs is the only way I could see having both an instrument that will last a lifetime and be affordable. T
Really happy for you, it’s the best bass, just great. I love the precision and jazz. I have American professionals. I bought a rickenbacker recently. Would you say this has more low end then rickenbacker?
Awesome bass! I was also wondering why you have two SL112 instead one SL212 cabinet. I happen to be interested in getting said Aguilar cabinet model. Was curious on your reasoning.
Modularity! Can’t go wrong with two imo, can take one with a TH500 for a small gig, one plus DB751 for recording or two plus either head for a bigger show. It’s also way more portable than one big cab and easier to manoeuvre. I used to have a big 212 and am so much happier being able to divide it!
Have you ever tried it side-by-side with the Palladino signature? Besides wear/relic I guess there are some differences in the neck shape and pickup, but they do share a lot, colours aside.
I’ve not tried them side by side, but yes, beyond pickup, neck shape and wear, they are very much the same - but then again, that’s the nature of a P haha! Oh and the Pino tunes the right way, which definitely deserves praise 🙏🏻 T
I have an 2008 American Standard series P that is on the lighter side without feeling super light. It is a great piece of resonant wood that is worth hanging onto but the pickups are quite bland and could use some upgrading.
I think the standards of those era do sound pretty okay, middle of the road P bass in my experience. I really dig nordstrands as well as the hybrid 59/62 in this CS, but definitely different sounds. T
Hi Tyler, Thanks for doing your videos. I'm thinking about getting a Pino Pallidino P Bass. Does your bass have the same specs as the Pino? I really like the sound of yours. I also like the new finish on your rather than the worn finish. They tell me you can only get the worn finish with the Pino Pallidino. Thanks, man!
Hey! Thank you for watching! It’s not quite the same spec - mine’s got an oval rather than C shaped neck, no relicing, reverse tuners and a different pickup. It’s my baby and “my bass” to me. I love the fact it’s not a Pino. Guitar guitar in the U.K. order these in occasionally, but I’m pretty sure you could make an order with these specs. T
I do think the sound is unique of this bass. The pickup is a 59/63 hybrid I believe. I could dig the spec sheet out of the case next time I’m back at my parents’ house if it helped. (I have too many cases to store in my new place haha!)
@@TylerSpicer Thanks, Tyler! I'm definitely going to go with a custom shop. They're very expensive over here in the US, so I want to get it right! But, I hope this will be my "forever" bass. I've been playing an old Gibson Victory bass (circa 1982) I inherited from my mother-in-law which will become my back-up. You helped me decide on getting a Aguilar DB751 which Ive been very happy with. I appreciate you!
I've always wanted to do the custom shop. But I'm too much of a lazy shit to takes my design to a builder (there's none near me) So I just went for the mod shop. Still a great p bass that I love.
Lovely precision bass! I think the Fender Custom shop is an excellent choice for a working bass to last a lifetime. For around the same price, a friend of mine plays an original 70’s precision bass, which is hot garbage in comparison!
Thank you! That was my thinking too, it’s gonna be one of my “forever” basses as there’s never gonna be a time in my life that I don’t need a P! Haha, very common place indeed, beyond a couple of vintage gems I’ve come across, Im CS all the way! T
Dear Tyler, I would like to buy a bass guitar. Im a total beginer in bass area. I usually play electric. What can you recommend? I was thinging about Squier P Bass
Hey my man! I’d say check out the Squier CV60s P Bass or the CV Jaguar bass. They are the best Squier has to offer IMO. Also check out my tier list video where I rank all the Squiers I’ve played and give you my thoughts on each. That might help you work out what might be best for you too! T
I like to think so, it doesn’t quite sound the same as most Ps and the number of hours I’ve spent on it makes it feel like a bass that is truly “mine” in both sound and comfort. You too my man. Thank you for the kindness and support! 🙏🏻 T
Haha! Totally had that a few years ago with a 1970 could afford it there and then and it was gone by the time I came back 😫 Thickest neck ive ever played and the bass that started the thick-necked P obsession! T
Interesting call! I’ve not played one but a local player really dug the musicman caprice. If I ever get the chance, I’ll have to get my hands on one! T
I just love that classic p-bass sound. I always go for full volume and full tone on non-active basses and fiddle with EQ further down the signal line, if necessary.

That's a beautiful P Bass! Tone at 50% sounds great. And nice to see you've recovered from the 'rona. Cheers!
Haha! I have indeed! That tone at 50 is one of my favourites too. Always between 50-75% on gigs or recording, unless it’s something very “Rock”. T

Nice. While a CS isn’t in my future (because kids), it definitely sounds great. Thanks for sharing with us!
Haha, I’m sure that’s the same for so so many people! Thank you for the kind words and support. I appreciate it! T
Sweet CS bass, also I hope you're feeling better!

BassSlovakia much better thank you! Absolutely! Can’t go wrong with a P bass, that P pickup sound is irreplaceable. T
I could not enjoy the video thinking that you were about to hit it with the others hahahah Nice video and bass!
What strings do you use? Great sounding bass. Looks awesome.
Man, i'd love if you'd review an Ibanez like bass like the SR1600B and even show us how to make it sound like a vintage bass if possible. I'd really love to hear you play on some modern basses too
Thank you my man, you’re right, there aren’t too many modern basses on my channel! I’ll see what I can do! T
pls tell me about hamonic at 6:42
Great videos Tyler , very informative, that is a beautiful bass - a quick question please , what is the nut width ? Many thanks and keep up the great work !
Thank you so much for the kind comments and watching the video! The nut width is 1 3/4”, the more traditional P bass size, I believe! T
Is the sound in this review straight from aguilar TH? Or are you mic’ng the amp? I didn’t see it mic’d but since you listed a microphone in the description I’m not so sure.
DI on this one! T
Great video Tyler! I also prefer a CS bass next to any vintage bass. Vintage basses are cool, but they are just not that consistent and viable.
Thank you my man, and for the pointer on the links, I’ll get to those today! I agree, CS modern production with vintage specs is the only way I could see having both an instrument that will last a lifetime and be affordable. T

@@TylerSpicer Appreciate the insight! Now I got some thinking to do 👍
On this note, Do you find that sl112 is lacking character compared to db112 and other non Neodymium driver cabs? I find that they are quite sterile
Have you ever tried it side-by-side with the Palladino signature? Besides wear/relic I guess there are some differences in the neck shape and pickup, but they do share a lot, colours aside.
I’ve not tried them side by side, but yes, beyond pickup, neck shape and wear, they are very much the same - but then again, that’s the nature of a P haha! Oh and the Pino tunes the right way, which definitely deserves praise 🙏🏻 T
@@TylerSpicer I'm used to tune Ps backwards for ages, anyway, so it'd probably feel kinda weird the other way around.

Isn’t it very similar to the Pino signature?
Adrian Cruse close, but different neck profile, pickup and non-relic’d finish. Oh and price tag is a healthy amount less! 💪🏻 T
I'm all about that tone boosted!!!, but they all sound amazing, your making me want a P thanks a lot tyler lmao

Pino Palladino’s bass
It definitely has its own personality. Seems to suit you very well. Its a nice bass. Take it easy, God bless 😎
I like to think so, it doesn’t quite sound the same as most Ps and the number of hours I’ve spent on it makes it feel like a bass that is truly “mine” in both sound and comfort. You too my man. Thank you for the kindness and support! 🙏🏻 T
That's a nice p bass. Like you would hope to find but when you do it's vintage priced nd out of reach
Haha! Totally had that a few years ago with a 1970 could afford it there and then and it was gone by the time I came back 😫 Thickest neck ive ever played and the bass that started the thick-necked P obsession! T
The best Precision Bass is the Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass
Interesting call! I’ve not played one but a local player really dug the musicman caprice. If I ever get the chance, I’ll have to get my hands on one! T
