Dave, have to disagree with you. These are how to videos. I have learned soooo much from you over the years. You know what you're doing and share that knowledge. Thank you.
Cool, thanks
I agree. I've learned so much from his vids. all i need to learn how to solder properly.
Geez Louise! I do not ever hope there is any ball-busting. I just get into a zen-like state watching your videos. So on behalf of all of us out here in youtube watcher land, screw all the haters, and for the rest of us, do as Dave tells us - be good to one another!
I agree - Years ago in the UK there was a tv program called Gardener's World. It was great - peaceful and relaxing - like 'realtime' weeding between the vegetable rows - for me it was 'zen' - sat noodling without the guitar plugged in.
What I'm getting to is that the program was ruined by a committee of opinions who worked to change the essence of the peaceful nature.
Dave - Please don't listen to the 'ball-busting' - just keep doing what you do.
I think I've watched you do these setups about 50 times now, and I still enjoy watching, so I thank you for that. AND, watching these encourages me to feel like I can do some of this myself. So, I thank you again! p.s. My Dad watches too!
That bass is beautiful 😅
"Flat as piss on a plate!"....coffee came out my nose!!!
Thanks Dave!!!
" Flat as piss on a plate you F&%K Head", ten minutes after watchin the video , still laughing . Good stuff Dave !!!
Dave, you have saved the day again for me today. ran out of youtube vids. thank the gods.
Makes my morning go better instead of watching the "news"...keep up the good work Dave !
Gutter Cat vs. The Jets at 17:05 made my day! Dennis Dunaway's amazing Intro on Alice Cooper's Schools Out for those Wondering. Love this Channel, never miss a video. THANKS DAVE! We are not worthy : )
Yeah, I've heard him play that a few times in these videos...brings me back to my childhood. Hey Dave! Next time you're bored and want to pay homage to DD, play the riff from Street Fight or maybe Blue Turk... You can have "One spastic explosion; two pressure cookers go insane..."
Thanks for all you do for us. I really enjoy taking care of my son's instruments and watching you has made me even better at it . I am very mechanical and have built several racing engines for alot of different applications. I view instruments as a piece of machinery so it came natural. I don't necessarily go by standards as I set them up for my son's preference but if I were doing it for the public you have to have standards to go by . I can only imagine some of the comments you get from the public and know it's frustrating. I think you do great and I highly enjoy your vids - keep em coming !!!
Hiya Dave. I Like your philosophy how a guitar/bass owns you. True words.
I've seen cars own people too.
Not really
Dave, keep doing videos the way you always have done - If every video showed every step of setup every time, they would all be interminably boring to watch. I like how you always highlight the new 'glitch' and the new ways of fixing things. It's taught me shedloads of 'dirty luthering' that gets away from the standard ways, (DE take note) and gives more weight to the equivalent of 'tweaking it' by ear. Thanks for many happily wasted hours...
Musical instruments own us, we dont own them. A truer statement has never been spoken.
Ive never been mistreated by any of my basses, and there have been a lot. Now there are only 2. Funny how we slave to that master as it calls to us from across the room or country. Truly the only master I am a slave to.
I have that model. 1982 ...Love it...
It's your channel and your videos. That means you get to film whatever what you want to. Thanks for what you do!
This is one of the most fantestical videos Dave has ever done. What a beautiful explosion of pure creamery rage in the war against prissiness.
very well spoken! You have been listening well and learning of Dave's wisdom.
I just recommended this particular video to a friend, without having watched it. So I watched it. It was better than I anticipated it to be. Stay safe.
Davey, over the years you've done every step - go back and look at all the vids. Don't let the BAS-TADS get to ya, man. Oh, and I been owned by my guitars since 1972. Cheers.
Thanks for the step-by-step approach. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thanks for everything Dave, cheers.
P.S. That little bit about "everything being reversible" is a real insight. Thanks.
Yeah !
Love it when you say what you're thinking Dave, I'll watch this one again when I'm having a bad day !
Cheers !
Double win- another Jazz video and Dave going off on the trolls! Love it!!
What you said about "them owning YOU", that was spot on!
"Musical instruments own us, we don't own them" that's the best thing ive ever heard.
I love it when you tell it like it is.
I have a Fretless 05 Mim Jazz like this with black pg I got on reverb. The previous owner had t-rod replaced, Fender High mass bridge added with new black La Bella tapewounds (do the math). and a cheap hard case i got it for less than 500 usd. I put in seymore duncans with new solderless controls. I set it up myself with Dave's help although PO paid 60 usd at GC. This bass rocks.
Screw them if they can't take a joke.... Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the next video..
"This is me doin' it". Love it!
Favorite TH-cam channel ever
I sprayed my mug of tea across the room laughing when Dave went on the "intonation in playing position" rant LOL great stuff Dave.
:)
I appreciate your insight.
I absolutely love your humor brother! Thank u for your vids; fantastic, informative and therapeutic!
Thanks Dave, I’ve been playing bass for about 50 years and I still learned to set up the bass the right way...thanks. ditto
I’ve been following for years. I go back to an old P-Bass video you did like this. (Add to watch later). 😆
I dream of a genuine Fender Jazz. Been playing my old cheap copy for 20 years, and she is very nice set up properly, but an old friend had the real deal. So classy. Such a versatile Bass too. Even my poor copy has a massive range of tones. Ive played Jazz, Blues, Swing, Rock, Pop, and Metal with my old thumper, and She never let me down or fell short of what was needed. And such a classic icon of design too. Ive had many basses over my 46 years, active and passive rigs, fretless, allsorts, but my mean Green machine was the only one that never ever let me down. Love your channel buddy. Been offline far a good while, but I have a new pc and new online ID, and I am glad to have found your channel again. Keep on truckin Brother!
Love these videos, Dave. I've been watching them on a regular basis for the past 2 years, and then all the past videos you've done. You've said many many times these are not "how-to" videos, yet I've learned SO much from watching you just work. Just observing. Time and again. Over and over. It's how you learn. Each new guitar or bass is a new time to observe. It's almost like a young intern watching a surgeon perform routine surgeries over and over, so when it comes time to do it yourself, you have the experience to do it and even improvise if need be. Kudos!
You are a A-OK in my book Dave , I enjoy your videos and thank for being there , Doug from South Dakota , USA
Dave's World of Fun Stuff LOL I'm stealin' that one!
Cool bass...Dennis Dunaway...woohoo!
Usual high quality vid. Dave. I really dont know why or how any sane person could criticise your work. Just keep 'em coming.... all the way over to sunny England.....
Your right about that, just like Tim commerford says, the bass playes us,
You keep doing what you want Dave it’s your channel and whoever doesn’t like it well you know what they can do😜
and another thing ... your channels content is what we need ... im new to your channel so forgive me for talking out of school but i have to say the lack of blame culture and almost no litigation is a breath of air
Always appreciate everything you teach us on the daily!! I loved this video because it reminded me of your vids from the past! Here’s what you need to learn... shut the fuck up and do it this way, cuz I know what I’m fucking doing. 😄✌️
Greetings from Vancouver on the rainy west coast. I never miss a video Dave, don’t ever change, keep speaking your mind and putting fuckheads in their place.
Not stated often enough - but Thank you very much for the valuable info as well as the fun!
Best channel on the internet. My bass is set up so much better after watching you this past year. The comments are priceless. Keep up the good work my friend.
Always a good time with another video!! Thanks for sharing Dave!! Cheers!! 👍🍻
You bet
Always great videos Dave. Learn a lot from you.
Just keep on doing what you do Dave.
Dave, simply said, you are the best! You are a master of your craft!
I’ll never understand the fucks that tell you when you’re doing it “wrong” guess what? I’ve learned a TON from watching you over the years... and a ton from others on you tube, you all do shit differently as do I... I can’t understand the people with nothing better to do with their fucking time. Cheers Dave and thanks for showing us so much through the years! It’s truly appreciated!
Dave, remember all of us who don't bust your chops for not showing you putting tape on a fingerboard prior to polishing. keep on keeping on and respect the liver.
I went along with "that is a beautiful craftsmanship" until I saw "Made in Mexico" on the headstock. Then, as things tend to go with MIM guitars, a problem arose, the tuning machine bushings didn't fit. Having owned several MIM guitars, I have never, not once, found one that didn't have some quality control issue lurking somewhere. My own bass says "Made in San Luis Obispo, California" on the headstock (which sounds Spanish enough), but it has never let me down. It was made back when a Georgia peanut farmer was president of the US, and after all these years, it still does it's job.
You can't pay enough for quality. Whenever you buy quality, the thing you bought will last and be a pleasure to use.

My sentiments.Eggzackly.If you only buy vintage Fender,Gibson,Gretsch,Ibanez
The odds are your investment will not turn into a waste of money.
dave likes dennis dunaway. that's awesome.
"Playing position. IT"S THE SAME FUCKHEADS!" 😂🤣😂🤣
Always great videos Dave
YOU ARE AN AWESOME DUDE DAVE ~ CHEERS!!!
Hi Dave I enjoyed for video "Fender Jazz Bass Setup Fun" very much!
You tell em dave, keep on doing what you’re doing.
Love all your videos. I used to take my guitar in to have a set up done and they never did it right never sounded right after watching your videos I now do them myself and my strat sounds great I do the setups your way and the guitar plays beautiful Thanks again Fred
Nothing like a good rant... better than a cup of coffee
Hey Dave, thanks for showing us your tomatoes ! Nice.
I have been doing my guitars for bout a year now. Everybody was an expert and others were wrong. Thanks Dave , I tell them WTF it isn’t rocket science. It’s not how you get there it’s what you do when you get there.
I love watching yer vids.
Just picked up a fender jazz bass!!! Cheers, Dave! 🤙🏼
Hi Dave. Say it how it is! Good on ya!
Hey, thanks
Mr Dave sir - you just keep doing what you are doing. Even if you WERE doing absolutely precise step by step, spoon feeding tutorials there would be some knuckle-dragging neanderthal that would bitch about it being 'done wrong' - feck it all and just follow your own way of working. Which I have to say, I personally find both highly entertaining and informative in equal measure.
You are the man (as all the cool kids, no longer say)
Kudos
LOVE this video . I adjust my intonation laying on my back , fun for me .
Nice one Dave! 😊
Just set up my Jazz to your video - it's the dogs bollox - thanks
You cannot beat a Fender Jazz Bass. Especially not _that_ one. Cheers, Dave. Lang may you reek.
Good job Dave. Loved the video. Keep up the good work.
My set ups on my guitars were terrible before I started watching your channel way back, since then I do everything myself and guess what? My guitars play just how I like them to play.
Great info cool video like your style
You made that " It's not a how to " comment years ago . I guess it was time to restate it. Thank you for all the information, I've put it to good use.
"Shut the fuck up" My thoughts exactly! LOLOL
Sorry you're having a rough go of it with haters . Love watchin' what you do ! :-)
Thanks again for the fun video. I have watched everyone of your vid's and I find all of them helpful and entertaining. Keep up the GREAT work you do and I couldn't agree more with your statement in the video about some of the whinier's you hear from complaining about how you tune the bass laying down. Just keep telling the losers to STFU!
Love you Dave do it however you want
Dave you're a legend.
Love it Dave, keep ‘em coming!
Dave - I've watched you vids since the Custodians of Crap days. Good to see you working on better quality guitars of late.
Intonation rant,,,perfect! Love your vids. Keep up the good work!
Love the Alice Cooper/Dennis Dunaway riffs! 17:04
Thanks Dave! Long time subscriber; love the gootches and all. I sometimes read the comments; always can tell whom the keyboard "cats" are. I also am a guitar tech still learning. Keep on Dave.
Been watching your vids for years Dave, they have helped me fix some issues easily that would have been harder to accomplish without seeing how you did it. What some fuckwit says about how you set up a guitar or bass really doesn't matter, cause you're the one that does it and get's paid for doing it. I have never thought that you'd send out a shit instrument and not make sure it was as perfectly set up as you can make it. That's why people keep bringing them to you for many years to work on and set up. Cause you're good Bro! Keep it up!
Another awesome video Dave! Just keep doing what you're doing. I wish you were My luthier!
Know your equipment. :)
“The instruments own us.”
Truth.
Always a pleasure to watch. Don't mind the troll-y types. Hey, isn't it about time for another episode of "cooked meat on the barbecue"?
YOU TELL'EM DAVE !!!
I like your game Dave. This was my first, but certainly not last, visit to your channel. Thanks
Thought that was a subliminal shot of tomatoes, but I know now it was balls about to be busted...
Thanks dave learnt some good stuff watching you... will be able to have a go myself now as it all made sense Thanks Dude
Got to love a good Jazz bass. They DO want to make you play. I've been setting nut height to .022 per John Carruthers but I may just try .018. Thanks!
Why, oh why aren't your videos on Comedy Central? Hey I liked this one. Thanks.
For this particular instrument, for some of the steps, you could view it as a how to or at least "one way to skin this cat". If you expect something exhaustive and complete for every instrument (including modded & custom axes) you're gonna need several hundred techs/luthiers working around the clock with all the R&D folks to produce something close to complete, then a bunch of update materials for issues that develop & new hardware as it's released.
Nice one Dave. First time watching, in preparation for setting up weird, deep, 4 string guitar thing… all my guitars have 6, 12 or 11 stings. 11 strings, cause I hate the pesky G, & one less G in my life is a good thing.
I’ve set up all but the first guitar I ever bought… (blimey, 40 years ago), however I’ve never set up a bass. Mainly because I’ve never owned a bass, but that changed two days ago.
Knew I’d found the right bass setup man when I saw you using linseed oil on the fretboard. It’s done me proud over the last 40, & I’m sure it’ll still be the business for my remaining 40… (fingers & toes crossed).
My process is pretty much the same, just different measurements… Dam, those strings are huge.
I enjoyed watching & got a lot from your presentation.
Cheers.
Its been a minute since I talked to a real guitar tech, 18:32 I had quite the laugh! Good info! Cheers
Nice one dave tell them I love what you do it’s enough information 👍🏻
Thank you for doing these videos. I love watching them. One question I always seem to have, is when you are setting string height, are measuring from the top of the string, or the bottom? I am guessing the bottom, but I didn't want to assume. P.S., other than the T-Wrench, what and where do you get your tools to do a complete set-up? Thanks again, you fun to watch.
Some real nice playing there Dave !!!!
