So good to hear a proper musician talking about the music and the instrument. Too many frauds on TH-cam.

What a great video! I learned so much!

I wonder what gauge he uses for flatwounds? I was thinking about putting flats on my 734a bass.

[@whats246]

Hi Aaron. Paul uses the following gauge flat wounds: 45 G - 65 D - 80 A - 100 E

[@aaronmoore9055]

@@whats246 Thank you. I been looking for that sound for about 10 years. I know that his sound is mostly in his hands, but at least I know that I have an instrument that can produce that sound.

[@aaronmoore9055]

I forgot to ask whether he strings his flats through the body or on the top. The guitar tech will probably ask me which would I prefer. I’m not sure if that makes a difference in his sound. I’m sure it’s his hands that’s getting that tone, mostly.

@@aaronmoore9055 La Bella 760M , James Jamerson like strings. The best for motown sound :)

This man is my new favorite bass player. Thanks for profiling him!👍

[@jazzman1954]

Often wondered about using flats and round for B!

It's not the bass, it's the chops
