That’s awesome!

😮

Yo, Colorado. Love the Rocky Mountain Music. We call it C-420.

Jeff Scores again! #bassilicious

Insane bass... love your attitude playing these sweet pieces out there

great time and pocket man! this one grooves!

I absolutely LOVE my Anthricite 5. I’m not a jazz guy. Mostly CCW and classic rock. It does it all.

Imagine hearing this bass for the first time in 1976, there was absolutely nothing like it. Come to think of it, there still isn't.

Okay, now play Sledgehammer on it >:)

Looks good, sounds good, but it is a Musicman :)

Nice bass

For not having played fretless in 15 years I would say you're killing it. I have two fretless Stingrays, and one of them is the July 2020 BFR. It is similar to this bass with the roasted flame maple polyester coated neck. It's an extremely special instrument, and by far the finest bass I've ever played. The polyester coating gives it a unique blooming mwah that the other one (pau ferro board) doesn't have. It is highly sensitive to your attack and so expressive, a deep pool to swim in for sure. These anthracite models are obnoxiously expensive, but honestly probably worth it as only about 150 of these polyester boarded Stingrays have been made so far.

I would like to have one if the neck is not gloss😢

I have this same bass and I love it!! Great playing and channel!!

Was just looking at them sweet but a little out of the budget 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Can't wait for my ehb1000aom to arrive. That green is so awesome, and nice playing too!

Nice skills, I wish I could play like this someday 🙂 I currently own a Fender Player Precision Bass, but what you have there looks stunning. Good job!

your playing and the tone on that thing... can't help but bob to it.

I picked up a BFR fretless 5 a couple months ago and it’s unreal. The light weight turners are indeed weird. Plastic feeling. Other than that, it’s excellent.

Sorry for the delay on the chapters, slipped my mind, they should be on now.

Do all fretless basses sound twangy like this?

Everyone is just unboxing this thing without showing the sound test or saying a thing about how this sounds compared to different options!!!

Cool video with precise infos. But at 3:03, it may be useful to say that the Classic Stingray and the 70 Retro Stingray are two different models. You can have two models with a 70s old school look (coated neck, headstock logo, bridge with mutes) : - Classic Stingrays made in early 2010 which blends modern features (6 bolts,modern trussrod) with 1970 specs (slab body, thin frets, 7,5’’ radius). There is also the Old smoothie (larger pickup) which is a limited edition. - Retro 70 Stingrays (with 3 bolts, bullet trussrod, more accurate logo) made in 2023. The 76 reissue is actually a Retro 70 limited edition. I hope it helps.

It’s killer bro. I used to have a fretless neck on my A. STD. Jazz bass but fretted it back up they are fun!!! Doing great job!!

So smooth ❤

I have a hunch that your friend Jeff was Sweating bullets each time his bass came within an inch of the top of your desk. 😳

i cant wait to get mine, it should be here by Friday!! 5 string, and that bass is going to be used for Funk and Jazz..

That bass looks great to play, thank you for sharing👍

💪👍

yeah, dude! :D i've bought a 4-string Bongo (just like the one in this video, but whole black) about 2 years ago, and when i hit that low-frequency knob for the 1st time, it was like WOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? O_o

what is your keyboard i want that!

I'm an engineer from Vegas and I do a lot of jazz so lots of upright bass, man you can play! My personal favorites for miking upright actually aren't on your list so here's a few more things to try! Take your wedge position and put it inside the hole of the bridge. Typical mic is an sm57 pointed up towards the fingerboard but it's super easy and it works fantastic, my preferred way of doing this actually isn't with foam but to take some rubber bands or hair ties and suspend the mic inside that way using the hair ties to basically make a shock mount within the bridge of the bass and I'll swap the sm57 with a cardioid SDC or omni SDC if the room sounds good. If you can get some baffling around the bassist then the omni might surprise you! Another easy way with this is to get an ear trumpet labs Nadine which is SUCH an awesome mic. My personal favorite technique is by taking a stereo LDC and set it up in a vertical XY with each capsule pointed at the bridge and fingerboard respectively, any XY pair would work just make sure the mics are coincident with each other and leave each capsule panned up the middle in ProTools. I like doing it that way because on it's own it's got so much low end to it that you get the body of the bass with enough clarity to keep the bass articulate in the mix with next to no EQ needed if done right, but if you want more of that pluck sound just boost 4k and you'll be good to go. I'd also be happy to provide some demos if you wanted to hear any of these techniques in action. Great work though man!

I liked the wedge under the fingerboard sound.

Love that upright sound.

👍🕢

👍🤙👍 neat

So you went to school. I belive that's important.

Neat and clever. 🤘👍✌

Cool stuff Check it out Adrian Papez. It might be interesting if you guys collaborated/ jamed somehow. Again great playing. 🤘👍✌

Keepin it slick and smooth. Cool.

Very cool, as always👍

This Bass once appeared on the market in 1976 was actually developed then by King Leo Fender & Sir. "Slap & Pop Thunder Thumb" Louis Johnson, as far as the one and only Bernard Edwards who's unique fingerstyle bass playing funked up the entire planet with countless grooves!

More collabs like this!

Good for you poof

Legit sounds like Toejam and Earl. Nice video, great tone on that Ibanez.

👍🏾👌🏾

Nice bass!

Pro-tip for recording drums at home: wrap the mics up in an inch or two of foam or blankets or something to take the edge off

I call it "Shake 5"

Its THE bass, its THE look :) Have 3 MM`s, love them!
