- 1975 Fender Precision (with old D´Addario Chromes) vs. Squier Classic Vibe 60s P-Bass (with old Thomastik flats).
I love ´em both!
What do you think?
Thanks a lot for watching & commenting! ;-)
Yeah, I listened with headphones. I gotta give it to the Squier on this one. I like the thicker, richer sound of it. Were the eq's identical?
Gregg Johnson Hi there! Thx a lot for watching and commenting! The EQ on the preamp (EBS MicroBass II with an EBS MultiComp) was set exactly the same. All the best!
I give squire thumbs up....sweet sound
That pbass fat tone
Choosing between D'Addario chromes and TI flats is like asking one to pick who your favourite child is.
Lol, Martin. That's true. ;-) thx a lot fo watching and commenting.
I always enjoy very much of what you play out of these nice basses (the Squier CV 60s is always impressive). But I have to say on this particulary jam, I can't hear the basses very much. Is it meant to be like that? Thank you!
Instantly Ectobassma Hi there! In this jam, I’ve tried to create a somewhat „realistic“ mix, with the bass not being in the foreground, just as you would find it in a typical pop production. You might want to listen to it through HQ speakers or headphones, then the growly deep tone of the P-Basses can be heard and „felt“ quite nicely... ;-) Thx a lot for commenting! All the best!
It seems to me that squiers almost have a more muddy/ “boomy” sound, while fenders have a bit more articulation.
Thx a lot for watching and commenting! 😃
The 70s bass is perceived much more 'present' in the mix. Both glorious. I love a P Bass. Thank you.
buddybeetle Yeah! That’s mostly due to the „brighter“ D‘Addario Chromes and the EMG GZR pu in the 75 P. I love both, and I consider the Squier with the Thomastiks to be the more versatile instrument. But the 75 P is may main instrument! Thx a lot for watching and commenting! :-)
Did you change the bridge on the Squier? I’ve heard the vintage saddles can be a bit crap out of the box with the CV range so many end up getting a Hi Mass or Gotoh IV
This is the stock bridge. Greets
Both sound great but the Thomastik strings sound like they'd disappear on stage. I might be wrong though.
Thx a lot, bro! But be assured, due to their superb midrange response, they sit in the mix effortlessly and just perfectly, especially on a P-Bass! Pimo Palladino plays his 62 P (strung with these very strings) in pretty much any band, playing so many different styles... ;-)
All the best, stay safe and healthy!
@@MichaelSchmittEleven i was about to comment. I remembered that what sounds good on stage often doesn't sound good on its own and vice versa. Fantastic playing. Stay gesund my friend!
Hi Michael, I love the TI flats on the Squire. Have you tried them on the Fender yet instead of the Chromes? Also, in this video are you still using the geezer butler pickup in the Fender? (your review video for these is still my go to when recommending replacement P-pickups to others)
Hi there! Thx a lot for commenting! I haven´t tried the Thomastik on the Fender P-Bass yet, only some Roundwounds, which sounded killer! ;-)
I love the Chromes´ bite, which goes very well with the more "agressive" punch of the 70s P-Basses! All the best!
@@MichaelSchmittEleven Thanks Michael. Getting a GZR pickup for my Pbass thanks to your excellent demo video. Love your channel. Keep it low. 👍
The Squier wins due Thomastiks. Interesting what of a difference strings can make.
Yeah, totally love these strings. Thx a lot for your comment. All the best.
maple vs rosewood fingerboard? not a fair comparison. The Fender has a much wider freq response. More low end, more mids, more high mids, even with maple fingerboard. Nice playing. Bravo.
Thx a lot, glad you've enjoyed it.
SQUIEEEEER
I'm still going to say Squire.
The Squier Classic Vibes basses are really amazing value for the money. Thx a lot for watching and commenting!
Flat n chromes, that’s a big difference already
I truly is. And I enjoy them both. Thx for commenting. Stay healthy.
The squire sounds better.
Thx for watching and commenting! All the best!
Auf jeden Fall hast du mal echt nen geilen Sound!!!
Vielen Dank! ;-)
great bouth instruments and great playing!
:-)
Squier sounds better !
I really like this bass a lot. 😀
