In your hands, every bass sounds fantastic =) I was quite impressed by the Ibanez and also the Harley Benton (seems great value for money), have a nice weekend, Julia
I bought a Dingwall Super J 5 String bass with a Glockenlang active preamp and 3 pickups and a Hipshot D-tuner on the low B string. This bass is currently in production. I can't wait to bring it home
My most recent acquisition was an Ibanez GWB205 Gary Willis signature bass. It’s my first 5 string and my first fretless, and although I’ve had it for 6 months now, that low B string still confuses me sometimes, but it is so worth it. It has become my go-to bass. The neck is so comfortable. It has only one pick up, but the position of the pick up is ideal for tone, and it has active EQ with a bass and a treble control, and the EQ variation is huge. There are 3 models of this bass, and mine is the mid priced one and cost me $1500 US dollars. So if I chose one of your top 5, I would take the Ibanez, even though I also have a Sire Marcus Miller P10 and a Fender USA made Standard Jazz. Ibanez necks are amazing. Thanks for your videos Julia.
Fender did a great job with the Players plus. I just picked up a Sterling Ray 5 HH. What a bass for $299. Fit and finish is really impressive and the quality of the electronics are also surprisingly good quality
Me too! I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone IMHO.
This year I bought my first bass guitar, Sire Marcus Miller V7 2-gen swamp ash 4str natural (brand new) and I bought Orange Crush 35 bass amp (second hand - used). :) Best regards from me from Serbia and thank you for your videos! 👋🎼
I got a Sire MM V7 5 this year and I'm loving it. Just lovely to play and you can get so many different sounds out of it. (Tobacco Sunburst color, just beautiful.)
Can i ask a simple question : is the noise we're hearing from the playing is from the lavalier mic picking up strings noise or the pick up's sound ? I hate that and want to be sure it's not actually the pick ups ..... Please next time be sure to mute the lavalier if it's the culprit( witch i think) . Great video as usual .
I really like the Sire fretless. Please do a top five budget basses. The new Squier Affinity basses are really improved. I recently picked up a Yamaha trbx174ew in mangowood top. The top looks incredible and the craftsmanship is way above its price point. Consistent quality,always groom Yamaha!. Great video Julia. Always love your playing.
Dude I bought that very bass for cheap because it was a demo. Did a full setup and it plays WAY above its price point. Super super nice bass. Picked up a BB1500A from a guy that bought a Fender Jazz Bass and man I have to say that the BB1500A is now my favorite. Yamaha always underappreciated IMO.
I looked at the Ibanez EHB-1000S on other channels and I have to say not only have you got the groove but the tone too. You make the Ibanez sound really good.
Doesn't the ibanez have 24 frets as well? The d-roc bass is just stunning I've just bought a dingwall combustion the model with the 3 pickup configuration (but not the ng3) and it's just amazing
For me the Fender Player Plus and the Sire fretless sounded best hands down. The Fender sounded really close to those beautiful, pricey Sandberg basses that Julia prefers.
I recently bought the Fender Player Plus Precision Bass in Cosmic Jade in April 2022. The finish is beautiful which has the ability to glow in low light like the Diamond Anniversary color. I only have two minor problems with the bass. First. I don’t personally care for the flatter 12 inch radius ( all my others are 9.5) fingerboard which I had changed out for a 9.5 roasted maple neck. Love it now. Second. I wish Fender had included a tone control for passive mode like my Marcus Miller P7 five string. I also changed the strings to flatwounds.
This past October, bought a sunburst Fender Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special. The versatility in having Active and Passive bass sounds so ideal for me. For Rock, the P neck pickup fantastic, and for R&B songs the noiseless pickup on the bridge smooth and silky. Love it. All other combo sounds great too. For my second ever purchase of bass (been a long time guitar player), all on Julia's list seem quality recommendations. Luv this TH-camr. Keep safe all. Peace.
I treated myself to a new Fender Jazz 75th Annaversary bass in silver/gold with matching headstock ,60's p-up's...brilliant bass...an Ibanez SR600E with Nordstrand p-up's...ash body, 5 piece Bubinga & Walnut neck, active & passive with a tone knob in passive mode or 3 band active eq with a pre set 3 position mid range toggle switch & active/ passive toggle...i finally found the active/passive bass i meant in your remarks about the Mark pre-amp,DI box.....not all is as it seems at times...you can buy dual active & passive bass's with a tone knob when in passive mode for years hence why i asked if the Mark Bass pre-amp could take active or passive bass's, not all do DI's take both active or passive bass's ,alright in a studio but if playing live i want to use passive bass's so use pro buffered pedal input & 75ohm output DI box....& i bought a new 15" 4ohm 300w Eden cab to go with my 250w 12" Ashdown Bass Cab...not the worst Christmas....nearly forgot got a new EBS Magni 500 15" bass combo..amazing tones & so loud...
You are an amazing bassist Julia. I like the Fretless the best of the lot. Recently, I purchased a Schecter Diamond Series Studio 6 string...love the action and playability.
I bought an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro with his case, with a Markbass little mark 2x12 ampli. To start with, I think it’s a great rig. I love it!
One of each please! But I will pick up the Marcus Miller first. Harley Benton second, because I never tried 5 strings, but mostly to copy the opening riff you played. I often do chords at church in our trio. Piano Bass, Guitar, sometimes Mandolin, it fills in the empty tone on the Chapel Mixer... fun episode. Thanks!!!
I like that satin blue bass. It's the best looking 'unique' shaped guitar I've seen in a while. Yesterday, I just got an Ibanez SR300 weathered black. I'm learning bass on this guitar and I really like it a lot. The body is thin and smooth and the weight is light. Good features for a beginners active bass. Thanks for a great channel.
I love the Ibanez EHB 1000s. If I had the budget I'd pick up that and the Marcus Miller. This year I did buy a G&L Tribute L2000- and I love it!! On the topic of small basses like the Ibanez, I'd love to see a video dedicated to small travel/practice basses.
I just landed this same Fender P bass Player + (same color) as a scratch and dent special at my local Guitar Center and I can say I'm pretty impressed. I swapped out to DR Hi Beams strings and farted around with the action and got it just right. I also have a Ernie Ball MM Stingray Special 5H roasted neck and this P Bass can get really close to the punch and growl of my Stingray. I also really like that you can tone it down and get the vintage tone. For what I paid, it's a great bass and very fun to play. My only gripe is there is a little slop in the g string tuner and that "feel" makes it feel cheap, but it's only when changing the string.
Killer shirt and style, damn! Also, as a guitarist, I feel a good saturation about bass knowledge now, so I can nerd out, if needed. Jokes aside, I love the dedication you got for that instrument!
I picked up a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass last year…love it, but the ability to go between active and passive makes me with I had waited for the Player Plus models.
The Dingwall is the coolest for me . I bought a Gibson Thunderbird (a real one )(used) in 2021 . Your playing on that fretless was great Julia .I am sooo bad on fretless .
Thanks Julia, all great basses. Love that Dingwall, I've been flirting with buying one for a while. I bought 2 Fenders this year, P-Bass 75th Anniversary Commemorative Edition and a Jazz American Original 60s. Both are great. I've been a Sadowsky disciple for a long time (still am), Fender has raised their game and is making excellent axes. Gotta love competition!
Thank you Julia, much appreciated. The downside to pretty much all of your selections, even the fender basses...pretty much zero left handed option (sire being an exception). Maybe next time include this in your decision making. Thanks!
I hear your pain! I managed to grab an MTD Kingston super 5 which I was shocked to find in left handed. There is a shop in Warwick UK, bass direct who have over 20 left handed basses including dingwall.
I bought a Fender Active Precision Bass Deluxe a few months ago because I needed a bass for my recordings. I love the tones it can produce...such a wide range of sounds! On the downside, I don't like the way it feels. This is the first, (and last) guitar I will ever own with a Pao Ferro fretboard. It feels dry and rough. That's just my opinion.
I want to start playing guitar. Preferably a bass guitar. I want something nice. Any recommendations other then the ones suggested in the video. Will be my first guitar in general. Does it matter to get something pricey right now?
I bought a Sterling by Music Man Short Scale Stingray in 2021 and I'm loving it apart from the noticeable neck dive, which I'm hoping to mitigate with Ultra Lite tuners. Worth the effort and cost, because the bass itself is awesome! Of these on the video, I'm disappointed by the comparative gutlessness of the Dingwall, the Fender and the Sire. I would definitely entertain the idea of an Ibanez headless - great tone and practical porta/playability.
Me too Pete! I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone IMHO.
I bought a Spector NS-Pulse 4 Cinder Red from Thomann. Hope to receive it soon! That Dingwall is now on my list for a next project. What a sweet sound. But I also like the HB, I already have 2 of them and play them both regularly. Great sound for less money. Ideal!
Fretless sounded wonderful, although I liked the awesome tone of the Player Plus. Or, perhaps, that's the sound (tone) of Julia...? Anyway, my "like" is well deserved. Thank you, Julia.
Nice choice, i like this variety and all sounds nice. I wonder how the Marquess sound for a prog metal band ? Is it accurate enough with a bit of distortion ?
Das Intro war cool. Ich mag die Short-Scale Bässe. Dieses jahr wurde ein neues vorgestellt, da habe ich aber den Namen vergessen. Auch von Hofner gab es einen schicken Bass.
The fretless Marcus Miller bass licks and harmonics was just plain butifull. Thank you Julia, Friday-Bassgoddess. Ps. I bought a V74 Icon sunburst by Trevor Wilkinson. :-)
Hi Julia. I watch your channel because there's always great information and playing happening. My latest purchase was a Fender Mustang PJ (MIM) in Sienna Sunburst. Before that was a Squier Mini P and a used 2012 Squier Jaguar SS. I'm new to bass and enjoying it a lot! Your suggestion for beginners to learn "My Girl" has been very helpful. Thanks!
Hi, my favorite one in these 5 basses is the Dingwall D-Roc. I love the sound, I love the shape and the fanned-fret system is really easy to play. Cheers from Switzerland... And... unfortunately, I have not purchased any bass this year...
The Dingwall stood out to me in that group. I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone.
Love your great informational and teaching videos! Have you ever done a demo of narrow neck basses for us older bassists who need strings closer together? Thanks for all you do!
I like all of the bass you displayed. But I have stepped into the world of analog synth bass but played with a midi bass guitar. Peavey Midi bass, peavey Cyber bass, Industrial Radio Midi bass guitar. WOW!!! 😮 you should try it!
I think Julia's in love with the Marcus Miller fretless Jazz
I love the sound of that fretless bass, it's like a cello, very emotional.
That third one was sweet
The V5 is really something special. I've had the fretted version a year and a half now. It's exactly the bass I wanted and couldn't be happier.
That fretless has AMAZING tone!
In your hands, every bass sounds fantastic =) I was quite impressed by the Ibanez and also the Harley Benton (seems great value for money), have a nice weekend, Julia
It's a promotional video, ofc everything sounds good
I bought a Dingwall Super J 5 String bass with a Glockenlang active preamp and 3 pickups and a Hipshot D-tuner on the low B string. This bass is currently in production. I can't wait to bring it home
The Marcus Miller fretless & the Fender Player were my two picks from this demonstration. Nice presentation, Julia.
My most recent acquisition was an Ibanez GWB205 Gary Willis signature bass. It’s my first 5 string and my first fretless, and although I’ve had it for 6 months now, that low B string still confuses me sometimes, but it is so worth it. It has become my go-to bass.

So if I chose one of your top 5, I would take the Ibanez, even though I also have a Sire Marcus Miller P10 and a Fender USA made Standard Jazz. Ibanez necks are amazing. Thanks for your videos Julia.
Got to love Julia's bass face!
They're all really cool, but I especially loved the Fender Player Plus P-Bass. The green sparkle paintjob just speaks to me.
I bought one just for the color. Looks even better in person.
Purchased the Fender a month ago, great tone, great feeling, could be my favourite in the future….
Fender Player Plus by far⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sire V5 fretless
Fender did a great job with the Players plus.
I just picked up a Sterling Ray 5 HH. What a bass for $299. Fit and finish is really impressive and the quality of the electronics are also surprisingly good quality
Me too! I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone IMHO.
I don't know if it's the amp or what. All of them sound ultra modern. I'd pick the fretless among them.
This year I bought my first bass guitar, Sire Marcus Miller V7 2-gen swamp ash 4str natural (brand new) and I bought Orange Crush 35 bass amp (second hand - used). :) Best regards from me from Serbia and thank you for your videos! 👋🎼

Marcus Miller V5 Fretless. I was able to get one in blue and i love it. Thank God they put lines in it. :)
Thank you for showing me that I am exclusively into classic shapes. 😉🤓
Doesn't the ibanez have 24 frets as well? The d-roc bass is just stunning
I've just bought a dingwall combustion the model with the 3 pickup configuration (but not the ng3) and it's just amazing
They all sound great! You chose well and played amazing as usual.
Headless Ibanez is amazing. We need more bases in that form factor. It is so compact and light
The Ibanez. I need that thing. In 5 strings, preferably
For me the Fender Player Plus and the Sire fretless sounded best hands down. The Fender sounded really close to those beautiful, pricey Sandberg basses that Julia prefers.
I recently bought the Fender Player Plus Precision Bass in Cosmic Jade in April 2022. The finish is beautiful which has the ability to glow in low light like the Diamond Anniversary color.

I'm new to the bass as well. Been playing guitar for 35 years. I recently bought a G&L JB USA bass. I'm really digging it so far!
Great!!!! I love you Julia!!! Tks from Brazil and God bless you!
The Dingwall sounded the best to me. Great playing!
I liked the Dingwall and the Fender!! I bought the Fender Precision Players Edition, in October!! It didn't disappoint!!!!
OMG !!!! what a beautiful P-BASS !!!!...Danka Shern Julia !!!!!!!!!!!
You are an amazing bassist Julia. I like the Fretless the best of the lot. Recently, I purchased a Schecter Diamond Series Studio 6 string...love the action and playability.
please make a video on jazz bass pickups and show off couple ones (passive ones) e.g. roswell, fender, dimarzio and so on
I bought an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro with his case, with a Markbass little mark 2x12 ampli.
To start with, I think it’s a great rig.
I love it!
I bought a Fender 50’s Vintera P bass. The vintage voiced pickup blew the others away.
Fender and Sire sounds really great
One of each please! But I will pick up the Marcus Miller first. Harley Benton second, because I never tried 5 strings, but mostly to copy the opening riff you played. I often do chords at church in our trio. Piano Bass, Guitar, sometimes Mandolin, it fills in the empty tone on the Chapel Mixer... fun episode. Thanks!!!
Out of these 5 Basses I likes the Ibanez headless, the most. But I bought the Fender player Jaguar bass last Monday at the Store in Treppendorf.
heart, heart, heart emoji.
Sorry, for my crappy comment. I'll send you flowers.
I like that satin blue bass. It's the best looking 'unique' shaped guitar I've seen in a while. Yesterday, I just got an Ibanez SR300 weathered black. I'm learning bass on this guitar and I really like it a lot. The body is thin and smooth and the weight is light. Good features for a beginners active bass. Thanks for a great channel.
nice jb as always, but weight is a 1st factor consideration for many of us elder bassists, nobody ever talks about the weight.
Hi julia! Which one is your favorite out of these five? I personally like the Sire and the fender player bass.
I love the Ibanez EHB 1000s. If I had the budget I'd pick up that and the Marcus Miller. This year I did buy a G&L Tribute L2000- and I love it!! On the topic of small basses like the Ibanez, I'd love to see a video dedicated to small travel/practice basses.

I picked up a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass last year…love it, but the ability to go between active and passive makes me with I had waited for the Player Plus models.
I've been GASing after a D-Rock for months :)
The Dingwall is the coolest for me . I bought a Gibson Thunderbird (a real one )(used) in 2021 . Your playing on that fretless was great Julia .I am sooo bad on fretless .
I bought the Fender Player Plus in that same Cosmic Jade. I love it
Fender for sure. IMHO 😁
... no way around the new precison-bass! how would this bass sound fretless? thanks for showing the instruments!
Thanks Julia, all great basses. Love that Dingwall, I've been flirting with buying one for a while. I bought 2 Fenders this year, P-Bass 75th Anniversary Commemorative Edition and a Jazz American Original 60s. Both are great. I've been a Sadowsky disciple for a long time (still am), Fender has raised their game and is making excellent axes. Gotta love competition!
I purchased the V5 fretted this summer. I really love the tones you get with this Bass!
i cant wait for my Dingwal 5 standard i ordered :)
I would say the Marcus Miller. I’m tempted to try the fretless!
The Ibanez headless... Love the way it tune's up and of course the looks and feels...💙👊😎
١
The Sire V5 is my favorite
I liked the Ibanez EHB-1000S. Thank you Julia.
Yes.2021. Thanks.
Thank you Julia, much appreciated. The downside to pretty much all of your selections, even the fender basses...pretty much zero left handed option (sire being an exception). Maybe next time include this in your decision making. Thanks!
I hear your pain! I managed to grab an MTD Kingston super 5 which I was shocked to find in left handed. There is a shop in Warwick UK, bass direct who have over 20 left handed basses including dingwall.
that beautifull vibrato with your face, when you played fretless bass))))
FENDER

I can't believe they were recorded correctly. No way the Dingwall could sound that weak.
Me too Pete! I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone IMHO.
I bought a Spector NS-Pulse 4 Cinder Red from Thomann. Hope to receive it soon! That Dingwall is now on my list for a next project. What a sweet sound. But I also like the HB, I already have 2 of them and play them both regularly. Great sound for less money. Ideal!

That headless Ibanez was amazing... So it was the Sire V5 fretless but I was already counting on that!
I bought spector legend 4 this year. Like it. Have considered short or medium scale bass. U r good bassist Julia.
me too! The Legend 4 is affordable, nevertheless 1st class! True words: "Once you go spector, there ain't no looking back." (Matti Karjalainen)
Dingwall is best for sure !
Fretless sounded wonderful, although I liked the awesome tone of the Player Plus. Or, perhaps, that's the sound (tone) of Julia...? Anyway, my "like" is well deserved. Thank you, Julia.
First time I hear dingwall without darkglass or strong distortion or fuzz haha
Love that green one!!!!!! N
Nice choice, i like this variety and all sounds nice.
I wonder how the Marquess sound for a prog metal band ? Is it accurate enough with a bit of distortion ?
Excellent ☮️
Headless!!!!!!!!!!! Muhahaha the bass Ichabod Crane would play with. Actually it was the Bartolini pickups that got me.
Das Intro war cool. Ich mag die Short-Scale Bässe. Dieses jahr wurde ein neues vorgestellt, da habe ich aber den Namen vergessen. Auch von Hofner gab es einen schicken Bass.
Love the colors of the Fender and Ibanez (2/3rds of my guitars/basses are blue or green). What's the low end like on the short scale Ibanez?
The HB is my favorite!
The fretless Marcus Miller bass licks and harmonics was just plain butifull. Thank you Julia, Friday-Bassgoddess. Ps. I bought a V74 Icon sunburst by Trevor Wilkinson. :-)
Hi Julia. I watch your channel because there's always great information and playing happening. My latest purchase was a Fender Mustang PJ (MIM) in Sienna Sunburst. Before that was a Squier Mini P and a used 2012 Squier Jaguar SS. I'm new to bass and enjoying it a lot! Your suggestion for beginners to learn "My Girl" has been very helpful. Thanks!
Hi, my favorite one in these 5 basses is the Dingwall D-Roc. I love the sound, I love the shape and the fanned-fret system is really easy to play. Cheers from Switzerland... And... unfortunately, I have not purchased any bass this year...
Yes. I am a Fan of Multiscale too.
Very good to play. I have the Cort bass A5 beyong.
The Dingwall stood out to me in that group. I've bought 2 new Sterling by Music Man HH Stingrays this year, a 5 and a 4 (now with flats on). They have a great sound and are a great value for those looking for that style of tone.
My favorite Bass is my Sterling by MusicMan Stingray Ray 35 HH. It's a beast if required or a nice "P-Stylish" groover.
Love your great informational and teaching videos! Have you ever done a demo of narrow neck basses for us older bassists who need strings closer together? Thanks for all you do!
sure first fender and ibanez
The green PJ Player Series bass by Fender . Hands down is my favorite.
Ibanez and Hayley Benton are the most interesting for me.
All sound great. Dingwalls really have that wow factor, but if I got a Dingwall it would have to be a 5 string, because their low B is just the best.
I agree - plus the D Roc just got a 5-string version this year!
I like all of the bass you displayed. But I have stepped into the world of analog synth bass but played with a midi bass guitar. Peavey Midi bass, peavey Cyber bass, Industrial Radio Midi bass guitar. WOW!!! 😮 you should try it!
