@@musicbsharpYa gotta do a Part 2. I was unbelievably butt hurt disappointed that there were no snarky, satirical comments about the MM Stingray. While you’re at it, don’t forget to include Kiesel (formerly Carvin) basses when you make a Part 2.
Hello from Wales, United Kingdom! I play a short scale Fender Mustang bass and have owned it since 2019 when I was in a rock band. Best bass I've ever fingered and had a good time with. Your videos are awesome and am looking forward to seeing more future uploads! 🎸🎸
I’m truly shocked more people aren’t going NUTS for this; I play a P(enis) bass and a six-string Ibanez SR (and my old Schecter is my profile pic), and your wordplay had me losing it😂 Please keep it up, and don’t let the saltier members of the bass world drag you down!
Thank you so much. Honestly, it's comments like these that keep me going. Please feel free to share my videos/channel with anyone you think might enjoy it around the internet or IRL. Again, thanks!
Thank you! I'll definitely be doing a part 2 eventually. I just finished recording part 2 of What Your Electric Guitar Says About You which will be out in a couple weeks. I'll be doing part 2 of What Your Bass Guitar Says About You at some point. Again, thanks!
Hey 👋 Ellis, as a player of a fretless fender precision I am honored to have the 1st and 5th mentions in your video, which is top shelf btw. Does it take a little bit of practice to intonate properly with confidence, yeah, and if you’re not “ en-ti-re-ly tone-deaf”😎 you can play some dam good music with it. Heavy metal with a pick…ain’t happen’n, but with jazz, blues, fusion, and a lot of rock it sounds phenomenal. And as with any guitar.. the notes are on the instrument… the music is in your hands. Love the video. Keep them coming. Play well.
Thank you! I totally agree with everything you've said. My experience with fretless basses is very limited so in my hands they sound awful - with or without a pick haha.
It really was this simple. I played a bunch of basses that went "boom boom boom" but this dusty Jazz bass went "DENG DENG DENG" and to my 17 year old idiot self, it sounded killer. To my 37 year old idiot self, it still sounds killer..
LOL. A day after watching this, I bought an Epiphone Thunderbird, because I already own a '74 Fender P-bass (so I can look like Paul Simonon/Dee Dee Ramone), but don't want to spend big money on a Gibson.
Brilliant! I was snarfing my yogurt while watching this and blew some on my laptop while laughing so hard....because I want to appear like I eat healthy even though in reality it's all I can afford because I have so many basses....that I'm occasionaly precise on and want to look cool so I had to buy a Gibson and well, have to have that Ricky tone too, & other basses that no one cares about, hence only 1 meal a day so I can be that 'starving musician' ;)
I own both fretted and fretless Fender Precisions, a Fender Jazz, two Gibson Thunderbirds, a few Rickenbackers and others that reflect on me so badly that I won't mention them...... 😂
As a bass player for 30 years I can certify that every word he said is absolutely true. And I'm also a lefty.... so double all for me....I play a 5 string Ibanez and a 5 string Steinberger.... so I'm all kinds of fucked up....
It's funny you say that. My next video is about being a left-handed musician. It'll be out in a few weeks. And I'm right there with you, all sorts of fucked up haha
@@rocketpigrecords3719 Agreed. It's even worse for aftermarket upgrades. I spent $1,500 getting Bartolini to custom wind left-hand pickups for me. A righty can buy the same ones for like $100.
@Red Scorpion 6 tried buying a left handed Marshall head, some dick just rehoused a combo in a different cabinet. Lot of sheisters out there, caviar Endor.
I always forget about Washburns. An old friend had a solid-body (one-piece) Washburn 6-string guitar that I used to absolutely love. Played and sounded amazing
If you mean clock, I realized that after this video was recorded. In the next one (which has already been recorded) it's fixed. But thanks for pointing that out - unless you actually mean camera in which case I have no idea what you're talking about.
Thank you! I grew it just so I could make fun of it haha. Half the stuff I say in these videos is actually making fun of myself. The basses and guitars I talk the most shit about tend to be the ones I love the most lol. Thanks for watching!
Ok so I play an Ibanez RG 560 guitar (Rhythm) and have been playing for 35 years. I just recently bought a Schecter C-5 Plus Electric Bass a 5 string. I figure if Im gonna fuck it up may as well go all the way. Got any advice for a 53 year old metal head just learning to play the bass. Oh love the handlebar mustache BTW 😉
I have a RG that I absolutely love. Been playing about 30 years myself. I also have a 5-string Ibanez bass. The best tip I can give to you or any other guitarist wanting to get good at the bass is to treat it as a separate instrument. For a long time I just thought of it as a guitar with less strings (something I joke about a lot in these vids). But the bass is an instrument in its own right with its own quirks, its own techniques, tips, tricks, etc. And as a (soon) 43-year-old metal head, I will say that I've found more motivation to get better at the bass from genres other than metal (funk in particular). Metal bass is often (but not always) quite boring to me. I hope you find that at least a little helpful. Enjoy the Schecter!
@@musicbsharp Thank you for the advice. I have been working on my slap picking and hoping to get it. I want to expand my playing from rock and metal to blues and funk. My advice to you is keep these videos coming. You're one of the best things on You Tube. I wish you luck on growing this channel and can't wait to see your next creation.
Some funny shit, but the same joke was repeated too often. Much like with music, learn how to edit for the best effect. In this case, cut about 10 minutes.
I appreciate the feedback. Feel free to re-edit the video if you think you can make it better - you have my permission. I'm still pretty new at this (both the comedy and the videography) and am trying to improve a little bit with each video.
@@musicbsharp I don't quite have the time or the inclination to work on someone's material for free. I was just offering my perspective and advice. For what it's worth.

Musicman Sting Ray players left untouched...and rightfully so 🎸✌🏻
I agree 10 hundred percent. I'm still yet to own one. Played a few.
Until I someday do a part 2 haha.

All at once, a million Talkbassers cried out in pain...
Extra credit for the TOS Star Trek reference.
I believe Charles Berthoud could play any instrument and make it sound like a million dollars.
This guy is roasting me with such politeness
Homie really just called me tf out when he came to the Rickenbacker 4000 series 💀

Hello from across the pond! That's cool: I don't think I've ever played a Mustang bass before. And thank you for the kind words!!!

I play an SR605e and have a GSR206. Love both. Glad I found this channel hahaha
Hilarious 😂
Don't forget P-J basses for part 2!
I'd love to hear your analysis for my Schecter Model T!

Ibanez SR. so many facts, it's scary.
I know you're there. You're in the photos.

All stingrays some fretless lesgo

I bet that 74 P-Bass is nice. And of all the Tunderbirds you can buy - Gibson, Epiphone, and Ford - you made the right choice! haha
Thank you, youtube algorithm! Waiting what says warwick about me 😂 happy to find freak bass community 😂
I'll make a part 2 at some point and will likely include a Warwick bass. Thanks for watching!
A Ibanez gsr200sr and what you said about the Ibanez players rlly did happen
Brilliant! I was snarfing my yogurt while watching this and blew some on my laptop while laughing so hard....because I want to appear like I eat healthy even though in reality it's all I can afford because I have so many basses....that I'm occasionaly precise on and want to look cool so I had to buy a Gibson and well, have to have that Ricky tone too, & other basses that no one cares about, hence only 1 meal a day so I can be that 'starving musician' ;)
Thank you! IDK why but the thought of you laughing yogurt all over your laptop made ME laugh haha
Hahaha! This is the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time!!! Great job. Oh, I should mention, I actually do play a Fodera! 🤣
Thank you! And sweeeeet about the Fodera!
What does it mean if I play a Warwick 🤣
I own both fretted and fretless Fender Precisions, a Fender Jazz, two Gibson Thunderbirds, a few Rickenbackers and others that reflect on me so badly that I won't mention them...... 😂
Sounds like you've got quite the bass collection. I'm jealous! I've only got a 5-string Ibanez and a Peavy P-Bass copy haha
I decided to learn jazz bass lines bc of how right he is 😔🙏
Inspiring
I play an Ibañez RG 6 string! Checkmate!
I love my Ibanez RG 6 string!
I recognize it was an attempt at humor, and there were close moments!
And that recognition of attempted humor puts you miles ahead of the people who think I'm actually being serious haha
God I love your puns
Thank you!
LOL
Waiting for Stingray and Warwick on part 2
I'll definitely do at least one of those when I do part 2... eventually lol. Thanks for watching!

@musicbsharp the hardest part about left-handed basses and guitars is finding the reverse wound strings. 🤣
@Red Scorpion 6 I tried playing right handed strings once...instant regret.
@@rocketpigrecords3719 Agreed. It's even worse for aftermarket upgrades. I spent $1,500 getting Bartolini to custom wind left-hand pickups for me. A righty can buy the same ones for like $100.

This was great thanks.... Haha I'm a rock star with a P bass
Thank you! I actually love P basses and have owned a few over the years (Fender, Squier, and an off-brand)
I play in a afrofunk band on a Cort C5 plus with bartolini pickups and Markbass EQ.
Former Ibanez sr j bass owner here. I laughed and cried.😂
Tears and laughs - exactly what I'm going for haha. And I'm a current 5-string Ibanez SR owner. Love that thing.
Fun fact... American made fenders and Gibson cost pretty much the same🤪
Too much
@@lucasc5622 Nope, you get what you pay for.
@@G8GT364CI an overpriced guitar, yippee
Fuc%!g hilarious!
Thank you!
*what your bass says about you
I play a Washburn so idk
I always forget about Washburns. An old friend had a solid-body (one-piece) Washburn 6-string guitar that I used to absolutely love. Played and sounded amazing
Why would you have a camera in the shot, when you know you're going to be heavily editing the video?
If you mean clock, I realized that after this video was recorded. In the next one (which has already been recorded) it's fixed. But thanks for pointing that out - unless you actually mean camera in which case I have no idea what you're talking about.
@@musicbsharp Oooops! I DID mean "clock". I'm a dolt.
Jazz bass…. Deluxe…… Mexican. Post hardcore music.
damn dude, I'm surprised you were going so hard against handle bar mustaches considering...
(funny video though)
Thank you! I grew it just so I could make fun of it haha. Half the stuff I say in these videos is actually making fun of myself. The basses and guitars I talk the most shit about tend to be the ones I love the most lol. Thanks for watching!
I have a Schecter stiletto extreme 4 lol. but what about the fender precision bass players? lol.
Stilettos are great, the couple I've played anyway. I'm curious: what makes your Stiletto Extreme extreme?
@@musicbsharp it’s the word Extreme that makes it extreme
I play a Spector with an active P/J configuration. Am I lumped in with the Ibanez and Schecter?
I guess you'll have to be... until I someday make a part 2 to this video.
