I feel like a really good way to confuse Nathan or Lee in a blindfold challenge is to give them a few Musicman basses of different prices and ask them to name the model and brand. There's the Stingray from Musicman, then there's the Stingray from Sterling by Musicman, which is 1/2 the price of the Stingray from Musicman, then there's the Sterling from Musicman, which is the same price as the Stingray from Musicman, then there's the Ray from Sterling by Musicman, which is 1/2 the price of the Stingray from Sterling by Musicman, and there's no way to tell the difference between any of them visually without looking at the headstock.
I also don't even play bass but I thoroughly enjoyed this bass piñata challenge. Love the way Nathan kept looking intently at the Fender in his lap even though he couldn't see a thing.
First time watching these two guys as im a guitar player but i loved this viid,these two guys are a brilliant watch!!!! In th3 words of Arnie "I'll be back"
A dingwall or any of those fanned frets would be out for things like this. I guess there is a dingwall and that series Ibanez does. I guess it would be possible.
MORE of that please :D Both different brands (Sire vs Fender or even MM), and different price points like you did there! Particularly interested in different MM ones :)
I just stumbled on this channel and I love it. I am totally blind and I play bass. Lee sounds really good on bass but I have to say that going through some of these bass videos and listening to Nathan play, Nathan has some awesome vibrato. He can really make that bass sing. Anyway, I love it.
Something I find fascinating is that he says "P or a J". I would have thought I could easily tell the sound difference between the two but he is much more experienced than me. I wish I could be in the situation to see if I could tell when blindfolded.
mouthmw same I was so confused when he thought the Music Man sounded like a P... two completely different pickup positions. Maybe if it was a bc Rich / Fernandez mockingbird in the bridge position but really? A MM bridge sounded like a P middle to him? And the same with Nathan not being able to tell if it was a p or j, i would think the sheer brightness would give away at least the Mexican as a J, maybe the American could be confused for a P in the middle position with the tone knob rolled slightly while blindfolded though.
@@danadrian2752 Yeah, agreed 100%. I like the guys, but that was a bit embarrasing for them to be honest. I could always tell a P, J and Ray in the mix, and especially when I'd play them. Those 3 are, IMO, the most classic bass tones of all time. How can you not recognize those tones as a bass player? I only play Ps and Rays nowadays (those are my favorites for sure), and I'd never confuse one for the other in a blind test.
In fact this is the perfect way to choose you bass in a shop. Tell them to hand you a lot of basses in your price range en play them on your own amp and you hear which one you like the most. Later you can chose the colour.
What about a hollow bodied Bass guitar with Opti-Pick pickup system and associated electronics so you can use Steel or Nylon guitar strings and the sounds will resonate for longer as there are no magnets to cause drag on the strings.
My bass playing is nowhere near the standard of Nathan and Lee but I think I would be able to tell a Jazz bass and a P bass purely on the width of the neck. I have played a P Bass almost exclusively for 30+years and the odd times I played a Jazz bass I found the neck much too narrow for me. Gimme the extra acres man!

Nathan and Lee play bass lines and chords blindfolded
I can’t even play a bass that good with eyes
Time to practice
It's hard to play with eyes. Until they are somebody's else' eyes. Then it's quite easy, actually.
Yes! Finally blindfold bass challenges! looking forward to more!
I also don't even play bass but I thoroughly enjoyed this bass piñata challenge. Love the way Nathan kept looking intently at the Fender in his lap even though he couldn't see a thing.
Loving the bass love!! You guys are great together as well. Mind doing a SS vs Tube vs Pedal shootout?
This is actually a really cool idea, hope to see more in future lads!
"I'll play the dog" !!!!! Best one yet! Great start of friday evening. And i don't even play bass. Thx guys!
First time watching these two guys as im a guitar player but i loved this viid,these two guys are a brilliant watch!!!! In th3 words of Arnie "I'll be back"
This just make me wanna play bass.
Ohhh do blindfold P bass vs Jazz bass vs Musicman pickups!
gotta have a G&L in there too
Hi, what happened to the “Sounds like” Bass episodes we were promised?
Coming soon - honest! 😂
I don’t even play bass, but this was awesome. More blindfolded challenges please.
Love it! Please do more. I find these so interesting. Getting your preconceived notions out of your head to see what's what
That was cool! More please!
I don't play bass but that Warwick is a beautiful instrument
You guys really are living my dream.... thank you for the video and please lets see some more
This was a lot of fun guys. cool
9:19 - MM Sterling

I fricking love my HS Sterling.
Great video.

Fun, as always.

Love your "All About the Bass" clips. You two are funny.

I'd be able to tell a J from a P any day, any time. I much prefer Ps to Js lol. I found that quite weird to be honest.

Awesome Led Zeppelin four symbols tattoo btw
José Henrique noticed that too!

Very entertaining
Good job guys!

I love these

This teams best video
Hey guys
Can you do a review or comparison of the Gibson Les Paul 1959 “Rosie” collectors choice and perhaps a comparable option?
Many thanks
The Warwick growl gives it away.
Excellent
That streamer sounded an awful lot like my Thumb. great tone.
Around 09:00 Nathan _really_ should have used "BOY!!!" when chastising Lee.
Do more of this 😍👌
Hang on... is that stingray downtuned at the end there?
Review Hotone Ampero and Mooer GE300 please

You guys need to say "Yeah" more.
@ 0:33 whoa there, baby steps, your not Rob .. no sniffing or extra points for colour Should have grabbed the MM in the corner
More bass videos! Guitarist here. 🤣
Musicman will be always musicman
The neck of a musicman could give a lot of feelings, but not cheap
How can you tell it's a Mexi one, but can't tell whether it's a J or P bass...?
The Warwick has a Great colour ,
Hey, how about having Joe Dart come over at some point on the show ? Whenever it's possible
At 8:50 is the strangest sex talk I ever heard!
I see Anderton video Iike... I am a simple man
Rylan
While I can easily appreciate that a “P bass” isn’t necessarily a bass guitar that you take with you to the toilets, may I ask what it refers to? 😅
A Fender Precision-style bass :)
Can we get a sound like jerry Garcia ?
The easiest trick is touch the head
I bet Lee is a bit of a Jokester...!
Lee looks a bit different this video
first maybe
somebody to right of the screen looks lit
So a proper US Music Man sounds like a Asian make Warwick.... the W for the win.
