    What a fantastic demo, Bart FUNK Bass! The huge amount of work required for a two and a half minute video showing side-by-side A/B sound samples on the same bass is staggering. But what a great comparison. The 60s is rounder and thicker at the bottom end, with a lovely slightly overdriven tone, while the 70s is twangier, thinner at the bottom, tighter at the top, with more high mids pushed forward, probably going to punch through a mix more. Both fantastic sounds, but less of a difference than I'd imagined there to be. Both great tones.

    I use both era’s. The 70’s jazz sound is better for what i do (slap, chords, and soloing). Even in a full band setting i love the sound of a 70’s jazz. Even with all that, my 60’s has a warmer sound and just overall more (pleasant). I couldn’t have just one or the other. Great video!

    I love both! Compared to the 60s, the 70s has more hi mids and treble, more "metallic" sound. Some people say that he is shrill. IMHO i think that the 70s are perfect for slap (neck/bridge pickups all the way up) and the 60s are perfect for pizzicato and for fretless basses.

    70s sounds more Rickenbackery ala Geddy Lee. Although I think his had a bad bridge pickup for a while so it’s probably mostly in the neck pickup for him. 60s sounds a lot better with a pick I think and a little less harsh slapped.

    Awesome video! I've got a Jazz Bass Special (with PJ pickups), and love its hi-fi tone, with a present treble that cuts in the mixes without effort, which is unique in the PJ class. I read somewhere that one of the "secrets" of its unique sound is the Jazz pickup in 70's position. I came across your video and now I have a real comparison that gives solid evidence to that.

    Thanks for this great comparison. I recently bought a new Fender US jazz pro II with 60’s pickup spacing but I didn’t know this difference. Now after 4 months, I noticed this difference and since I love slapping, I fell in love with 70’s jb. So, I feel kind of regret about it. I wish I knew that before I bought my bass. If there is someone here in EU who has a 70’s but prefers a 60’s I’m ready to swap mine.

    • @BARTFUNKBASS
      @BARTFUNKBASS  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ha! It took lots of years for me to realize that the sound of a Jazz Bass I am looking for depends on a pickups spacing. I already had Fender American Series Jazz Bass with an alder body and a rosewood fingerboard. I thought that when I'll get the ash/maple one it will instantly sound like a Marcus Miller. Althought, ash/maple is a great 70's combo for slap, the key factor is the pickups spacing. It is really weird that there aren't many comparison videos, and the fact Fender and other brands making Jazz Basses don't admitt which pickups spacing they offer. The 'butchery' as some would call, I did with this bass was the only option for me to have an authentic 70's sound on a budget. It's a $1000 bass with a $150 luthier's work put into it. Of course, I've tested Fender American Original 70's Jazz Bass which I think has been in production since 2018. However, the "U" neck profile on those reissue basses makes them unplayable for me. Unfortunately, all the new Japanese reissues which finally come with a correct spacing have a "U" neck profile also. The easiest way to get that sound on a budget would be getting a Sire V5.

    • @majidalizadeh9354
      @majidalizadeh9354 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@BARTFUNKBASS Today I got a Sire V5 (as you suggested) as well as a Fender Am original 70’s jb to make a comparison and decide what to keep and what to return. What I interestingly noticed was that the bridge pick up in Sire V5 is even closer to the bridge as compared to the original 70’s. The U neck profile of the original 70’s is not a big issue for me but what I don’t like about it is the noise coming from the single coil pick ups. Although it is a common issue with the single coil pick ups, neither my pro II jb nor the Sire V5 have that much of noise. Sire V5 on the other hand, convinced me in all aspects from the tonality to playability and look etc. I’m kinda suprised by the quality of V5 in that price range. Thanks for your suggestion.

    i tend to prefer bright sound (also because cab tend to muddy the sound a bit except if you play on some really clean hifi gear like a hartke or EBS 410 but its a pain to carry around) so 70s to me. bridge pickup it depend entirely on the pickup. but i've had way more 70s jazz bass with a really thin bridge pickup that needed a lot of eq to get back to life. in that sense. the 60s might be safer.
    my favorite 70s jazz bass is the fender 1983, it had a killer sound and aesthetic too. but that being said my favorite slap sound was a lakland 44 with 60s spacing but EMG pickup. hearing it you would think its a marcus miller bass.

      Yes. I wanted to have a 70's style Jazz Bass without spending a few thousand dollars for a real one. Unfortunately, the US and Japan reissues have "U" shape neck, which is unplayable for me. This bass was made in Japan in 1993-1994, and it has a super fast "C" shape neck. The only thing Fender Japan did wrong was a pickup spacing, which is the most important factor for 70's Jazz Bass sound. Even the later models made in the late 90's and early 2000's have the same "issue", which is a 60's pickup spacing.

    I have a 70s jazz that I never really liked, and I am starting to think that Leo got it right the first time. The 70s has a nasally hi-mid character that just isn't really pleasant, and sounds thinner. Also the bridge solo'd on the 70s is unusably thin so it's no good for Jaco either.

      I agree with the last sentence. I don't use soloed bridge pickup on the 70's spacing. It doesn't sound right.
