This the actual recorded bass line. It was challenging to learn, especially the diminished figure before each chorus 😮‍💨

@@stephenboutwell1012 Awesome playing, cheers.

@@FrankBatistaElJibaro Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thanks! 🙏🏻

@@stephenboutwell1012 I'm a Bassist and I've always wanted a fretless. I have my Fender Precision and my Ibanez, love them both, I've been shopping around for a good 5 string, almost want to go fretless instead. I haven't checked out your performance yet but I will, Pino is an amazing Bassist right up there with Jaco.

@@stephenboutwell1012 ohh my Lord brother I'm watching your performance at this very moment and it's giving me goosebumps, outstanding bro! Apparently Leland Sklar absolutely loves this player. Your Bass Sounds Killer! What are you playing thru? Thanks 👋

@@stephenboutwell1012 I need to get a fretless and learn this line!

@@josephnaja Thanks very much! Just playing the bass straight into my audio interface with some chorus effect from the recording software. Playing with the bridge pickup only with some low-mids boosted and treble rolled off. Flatwound strings as well.

@@ImPrismuh Thanks very much! 🙏🏻

Just a little chorus from my recording software 👍🏻

@@stephenboutwell1012 Thanks！It's beautiful tone.

Came stock with flatwounds. Not sure what brand, though. I put a set of nickel Elixir roundwounds on mine. Warm and smooth!

Yeah they sound good whatever you're using. Thanks for the info 👌🏻

Can’t argue with that!

@@matthiasmilles788 I LOVED IT! The JMJ is probably the coolest bass I’ve ever owned. That being said, I wasn’t playing it as much as my others because I wasn’t really hearing MY voice through it. I recently sold it and will probably regret, but for short scale basses, it’s #1!

@@stephenboutwell1012 Thank you for your answer. That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I'm a die-hard P-Bass player and it could also be that the sound of the Mustang is not the one I want to use more often. But I think I'll give the bass a try and maybe use it more as a source of inspiration. Besides, I have a 10-year-old daughter who I might be able to seduce into playing bass with the shortscale ;-) So have fun with the other beautiful basses you own and I'm looking forward to more videos from you. By the way: The 76 P-Bass is great and this Bluesman Deville sounds great too!

@@matthiasmilles788 ​​⁠Wow, thanks so much. The Mustang is for sure close to a P-Bass and very inspiring to play. It makes a great student bass! Hope she warms up to it!

@@matthiasmilles788 If you do decide to get one, they hold value very well and will sell easily if you decide you don’t want to keep it. I had mine listed for one day before it sold!

@@matthiasmilles788 Thanks! 🙏🏻

My first flats were a set of Chromes that I used for years and loved them. The only reason I switched is because I broke one of the strings! Also wanted to see how another brand would sound. Just have to keep them on for so long before they really settle in!

Yes! The Aguilar bridge has a little more "nose" than the DiMarzio.

Nice catch! I think the LaBella’s have a more pronounced midrange while the Fender’s have a stronger low fundamental with less midrange. The pick is the only thing bringing out the midrange in the Fender’s which is how I could see it sounding similar. I actually prefer the picked Fender’s over the picked La Bella’s.

@@oldasrocks9121 Thanks! They came stock on the Mustang. Never had them on a P bass, though. They seemed to have good, low fundamental which I liked but lacked the mid-range punch of the LaBellas. The 9050s were fine, just not my style. However, when it came to a muted pick sound, I liked the 9050s better.

@@stephenboutwell1012 My favorite thumpy flats are the DR Legends. Ernie Ball Cobalt flats live in this odd spot between flats and round wounds, flats for feel rounds for sound. But not quite like rounds sound wise. I have them on my jazz bass with foam mutes between the string pairs. They need cleaned regularly, the develop a rough-ish patchy corrosion but a swipe of Albolene with a good wipe after has fended that stuff off so far after it first developed. I keep them on but I'm still asking myself "do I like these?" Bandmates do so there's that.

@@oldasrocks9121 Interesting about the DR Legends. I have a set of those as well that used for a time. Here’s a cover of Bernadette I used them on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2GYg52YfJaAgpIsi=54oTu4IBDudh300L I hear what you mean about the thumpy-ness, though I didn’t notice it at the time. Never played Cobalt flats but did play a set of D’addario Chromes for years. Aptly named, even after they broke in, they retained a glassy smoothness and clarity that I really liked.

9050L's are Fender flat wounds

Thanks! Recorded direct. Bass > Cali76 Compact Bass > Scarlet 2i2 > Roland GO:Mixer Pro > iPhone

It says in the video that he recorded it directly…

Thanks!

@@Vetea19 Sweet 👌🏻

They’re fun! 🤩

@@toddwalker4301 me too lol

Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

Ha! Thanks! 🙏🏻

Yes! Such fun to play. Sting's lines are always so musical. Thanks!

Agreed! 👍🏻

Hi! No pedal. I just used a stock chorus plugin in Logic. Thanks!

Thanks! 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🙏🏻

It was a tough one to learn, for sure. And yes, Marta's cover is exemplary!

Thanks! 🙏🏻

For sure! Planning to cover some JB soon!

Me, too 😊 Thanks so much 🙏🏻

Wow! Thank you! 🙏 Pino knows how to make his parts definitive, for sure!

Same. Still a little obsessed with it 😆 Such a great band with plenty of bass-driven songs!

Thanks! 🙏🏻 This bass has two Lollar Thunderbird pickups. Both are on full with tone wide open and heavy compression. Also, it was strung BEAD.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Happy to inspire 😊 I love this part so much that I wanted to nail it. Thank you for noticing. Cheers!

Mandei fazer um esses dia pra mim show

Muito obrigado 🙌

Thanks very much! 🙏

Wow, thank you! 🙏🏻 I had the Lollars in for a few years and recently swapped them out. I’ve played them with rounds as well which I had on for my Stevie Wonder cover of For Once In My Life. The predominant quality of the overwounds is the low mids. They’re strong which makes them perfect for blues, soul, rock, and finger style funk for sure. My 70s ash/maple P bass has a decent amount of low mid resonance to boot so it felt a little overpowering to me at times which is why I swapped them out for something with more mid range punch and snarl which I think is characteristic of a 70s P bass. I’ve still got them and can’t decide if I want to sell them or try them in a alder/rosewood P bass. All around great pickups though. I have a set of Lollar Thunderbird pickups in a different bass and absolutely love them. Thanks for dropping in and let me know if you need any more info!

@@stephenboutwell1012 thanks for the detailed response. I can see you really gel with the basses you have and enjoy the music you play. I love how music takes you to a special place when playing. In a way for me it’s like meditation. On the lollars. My bass has a very bright attack and is very snappy. Rather similar to the characteristics you said your p bass has. Did the tone knob not help with taming the low mids? I find the ash body/maple neck def has a aggressive low mid attack. What did you change them to?

⁠@@soulstart89That’s encouraging to hear. I love finding the sweet spots on my basses and yes, it IS meditation. Very therapeutic for me 😌 My P bass is a tiger and it is tough to tame, even with flats. The only way I can tame the low mids is with my volume knob! 😆 The tone knob only helped smoothing out the top end. With everything wide open, it’s a monster. You can really hear it in my cover of Bushwick Blues by Delta Spirit. Aggressive but really fun to play. When I first bought the bass, it had an old Dimarzio Model P probably from the late 70s or early 80s. It was hot, but a lot of the treble had gone away which is to be expected. Because I loved how the bass sounded when I first got it, I put a new Model P back in it and it is off the leash. It is officially my punk rock bass now 🤘🏻 as it should be, I think. If I need a mellow sound with flats, I will use my other bass but I’m in the market for an alder/rosewood P with a lower output to get some smoother tones that I can dig into without sounding aggressive. Hope that answers your questions. Let me know how else I can help. Thanks again!

@@stephenboutwell1012 it did help a lot. I think a wind between the standard and High wind would be perfect. I may contact Lollar and see if they can cook something up for me. I have listened to the lindy fralins and they sound compressed weirdly. My bass is heading to the luthier for fret work and shielding so i can keep searching lol Oh i listened to your string comparison. The chromes tamed the attack but held some roundwound treble when you plucked hard. Hope you and family are well.

@@soulstart89 Sounds like you know exactly what you want! My old Lollars are just sitting in a box for a rainy day. Since you've been such a pleasure to interact with, I'd be happy to send them to you to try out. If you like 'em, keep 'em. I bought them brand new direct from Lollar for 150. I'd let them go for 100. Nice observation on the Chromes. Yes, they are a little bright for flats, even broken in. I like to think of Chromes like matte finished glass. Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you!

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thanks! 🙏 Had to learn this one by ear. Check out a app called Moises! 👍
