The small piece below the strings is called a tug bar and it’s from early days with assumption strumming was with the thumb. It’s been relocated on some models above the strings as a rest for the thumb as playing bass evolved to more finger playing…I think😂
Spot-on! 😀👍
Yes...that's the old style. I've seen old videos with it.
It's a cheap plastic thing. In the old days they were wood.
It's a secret compartment to hold a single joint. Leo was a genius.
The black ledge is a rest for your fingers for when you use your thumb to play. It was common on early fenders because they thought that is how most people would play an electric bass. I just learned that last week and have been playing bass for over 15 years lol.
That's a cool bass. The black bar is there because Leo assumed people would play bass with their thumb and rest their fingers there. I like short scale basses, they're fun to play. My favorite short scale from Fender is the basic Player Mustang P/J in natural. The one you got is a little higher up the totem pole. You should get a bass amp, though. It does make a difference. Even just a Fender Rumble 40. Ask me questions, I have 36 years of experience with the big toddler-stringed instruments.
Nice to see a bass video! I'd definitely dig seeing more bass videos sometime!
Some albums that got me into playing bass as a guitarist were Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights" and Joy Divisions "Unknown Pleasures." They both have amaziong melodic bass riffs, and they're fun to play. The standout songs are "The NEw" on TOTBLand "Dissorder" on UP.
Carlos D was amazing in Interpol, his parts were so catchy.
I knew that there was such a thing as a Mustang bass… but I had no idea they so much smaller. It looks awesome! Some folks don’t like the racing stripe. I really do.
But I don’t get the “burgundy” thing at all though. LOL
That background music when you were taking the bass apart sounded like a radiohead/khruangbin mashup :) In the Meantime by Spacehog is a fun bass line BTW
I love Spacehog
I just saw that bass being played at concert this past night, it makes sounds.
Was really digging the Khruangbin style music during the teardown.
Finally someone plays bass with my skill level
It's handy to be able to play bass as well as guitar. I was able to pick up gigs when my friends needed someone who could play many instruments. You can also track lots of things. Guitar, bass, mandolins, vocals etc. Pretty much all you'll need is a drummer or a way to create a percussion track(s). As far as where to rest your hand... the top of the bass. put your thumb there and strike the bass strings with your index, middle and sometimes ring fingers. Occassionally you can slap.
As was said before, the small black plastic bar is called a tug bar. It was used when Fender thought players would use their thumb to play.
Think about a bass amp, for better sound. For all around weight, price and sound, it's hard to beat the the Rumble 40 combo. Take that Mustang Bass to your music store and plug it into one. Set the tone controls to 10, 2, 2, 10 o'clock (BASS, LOW MID, HI MID & TREBLE), this is true flat, NOT all controls at 12 o'clock. Ensure the Bright, Contour, Vintage and Overdrive buttons are out and tune to taste from there. It also has DI out if you want to record or run it to a sound board.
I think you'll love it. Compliments my AC15 and Brown Princeton very nicely. Plays great in acoustic sets. Can hold it's own, if not pushed close to it's limit with mild to modest electric sets.
It works great for acoustic guitar too.
Thats a nice bass.Jazz bass should be your second one to showcase if you're ever interested in checking out other basses

I ordered the tug bar from amazon and used it on the pickguardsection above the pickup to have a comfortable thumb rest. I play with 2 fingers to strum. I
Nice Mustang. I think I would like it more without the stripe and without the "finger rest/tug bar".

Congratulations on successfully merging Fraggle Rock and 9 to 5 together! 5:59 Brundle Fly would be pleased.
I bet the tabs for Fraggle Rock are on Ultimate Guitar, lol.
I just purchased a Squier Mini P bass for giggles. It’s a lot of fun and the neck and frets are fine. Running it into the DAW with a NAM capture of an SVT sounds pretty ferocious. I definitely got my $189 worth. 😂👍
Nice! I got a Vintera 1 Mustang when they went on sale when the 2s came out.
I suggest playing with a pick for you. I am a guitarist that plays bass using a pick comes more naturally and you will have better technique. I use my basses for recording and get decent results. Use your chord knowledge and play in time.
Thanks for the tip!
i was expecting a fishing video
Best fragle rock cover EVER!!!❤
Landon, don't be shy to play bass with a pick, if that's what feels more comfortable and natural to you! 😉👍
I'm more a bassist than guitarist but have always felt way more comfortable playing bass with a pick myself, and I play fingerstyle only about 20% of the time 🙂
And man, it took me a moment before it clicked with me that one bassline was from R.Stewart's 'Maggie M.'! I was already getting nervous: "I so know this! But what is it?!" 😅
And funny, I'd mentioned 'Fraggle Rock' in a message to a friend only yesterday! 😄
Oh, and whoever composed the music behind the dismantle segment of this video has heard 'August 10' by Khruangbin 😄
Yeah and a lot of famous bass players play with picks! No shame about it, it brings a completely different tone than with your fingers.
"Wrong answers only," eh? Okay ... The little plastic bar is a holdover from the days when cannabis was illegal everywhere and you had to hide the stash. The bar is the handle (cleverly disguised, of course) to open the hidden weed stash container!😆
I would like to try a Bass VI. I have played a bass, now I mainly play acoustic guitar. I would like to see what happens the two worlds meet in one instrument. Go ahead and rock on both. Bass made me a better rythm guitar player. Guitar made me not afraid to go above the 12th fret and play the bass in more melodic way. Playing the piano made me learn harmony and theory and that I can hear and see where every instrument lies in a frequency spectrum. Playing drums helped me to stay in time and to have fun making music. I wish to every person who sings or/and plays instruments to be a musician. Voice and guitar are just tools that project our music to audience.
Ive played one at the music store. Felt much more like a bass than a guitar
picking up the bass every once in a while is refreshing. I'm a guitarist who plays the bass the bestest.
you're awesome! what is that device behind you that looks like a clock but the numbers keep changing?
That's a decibel meter to check how loud stuff is in the room
@grawman67 I thought that might be the case, thank you for confirming this!
@@tr3f You're welcome, friend!
It’s a play faster stripe..😂🇦🇺
I love my Mustang Bass!
If you want to make it sound even better put some tapewounds on it. They sound sooo good!
Any brand recommendations or is that also the brand name?
I have a Squire Jaguar Bass, short scale, cherry red. We guitaristas use a pick like Paul McCartney.
Was that Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads you were playing at the beginning?

That's what l thought!!
Love the Fraggle Rock theme on bass
Nice bass! I'm not sure about the Vintera as I've never touched one, but the Classic Series line Vintera replaced punches well about its weight.
i would kill for this bass i love it
I am another one of those guitarists that owns a bass. I really wanted a short scale, but Fender didn't have one in production when I bought mine. My only choice was Squier, a non-Fender brand short scale, or regular scale. I love the bass I ended up going with (a Nate Mendel signature, MIM) but I every time I see these new short scales I get GASy, despite being terrible at bass. Thanks for that, Landon.🥲
You really are the best bas😊sest.
Hi Landon, my son, has a music degree and is a bassist. He plays and teaches electric, double and fretless bass.
He says your technique is dreadful 😅. You look like a guitar player. That said, when he plays my guitar, he looks like a bass player. 😂
Throw that pick away and use your index and middle finger.
As for that thing under the high string, he has no idea what its for either, bit his are jazz basses.
He rests his thumb on the top of the pickup.
He says the good thing about a bass is you don't have to deal with those high B&E strings.
Enjoy - Rod
A very nice bass.
Thanks!
The smoke
Jeez I was fooled in the beginning when I mistakenly thought you had a 69 lake blue competition mustang
Ah but what about a bass player making a guitar video? No barritone, or Bass VI allowed! lol!
Can you please review the Mustang guitar from the vintera ii series.
i would love to eventually
trussrod access doesn't seem to be easy
You’re a natural
I love this channel. And that bass is Dope!
Hah, well ahead of you. I figured "why only suck on ONE instrument" a while ago and bought a Sire jazz bass. Main reason being Walk Away by Black Sabbath, if you listen to that song and don't feel the need for a bass guitar you're dead inside!
I have one of those on the way. Thanks! 🎻🙂😎
Enjoy!
Still have that bass?
still have it! it's great
What about the black fender telecaster custom 70s, and other sunburst Stratocasters@@landonbailey
Davie504 would slap you for using a pick.
Competition stripes - thus the name of the guitar. It’s a skateboard/surfing thing - likely didn’t make it up to Ottawa. (A respectful observation)
Have thought about getting a bass or a keyboard....not sure which one would be more beneficial to a guitar player. Still have about 75,000 hours to master the guitar though😂
Do you have to remove the neck to adjust the truss rod? Thank you.
no, just the pickguard
I like it.
What was the point of the teardown if you weren’t gonna discuss it while you had it apart?
to show the insides
@@landonbailey Yes but doing so is pointless without discussing the electronics.
what is there to discuss?
Nice bass. Get yourself some flat wounds.
Thanks for the tip
That's one of those things that really look cool but actually are ........
Oh, OK, I'll let myself out....
get yourself some flats, then you will begin to love bass
never go full youtube 😂
Cast your cares away
worries for another day
let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock
I thought Geddy Lee and Paul McCartney were the best ever...eh?!
That's not a guitar!? I don't know what's happening
2nd
More like a bass player who’s been trying to make guitar videos…
traitor
First. love the bass and this channel
