Dang man...im workin on grooving like you. Been playin for years in bands but im stuck. Like my brain wont allow me to groove fluid on a whim like you can. Im trying. Thanks for the vid. I have the same bass, thats what let me to your vid. Hopefully i can get where your at soon. 😢

son dos series diferentes con diferentes pickups y diferente electronica....no sirve de comparacion

Nice one 😊

I love 1st and 2nd string from Ernie Ball and 3rd and 4th from Rotosound, this is a hard choice

Ace!

SOOO simple and SOOOOOO GROOOVY!!!

You what amp are you playing through?

Played a Musicman Stingray for 25yrs,took off that ugly a** oval pickguard on day one....Love MusicMan basses hate that oval pickguard. But you can't get spare parts for em,so i gave up on em,play fender exclusively now because it's easy to get spare parts for them.....................Boom!

thanks for your testing

Now get rid of the hideous control plate. Makes it look like a 7th grade woodshop project.

Hi Bart Funk, I prefer with pick guard. Which make of strings do you use? The bass sounds phat! 😊🙏🏿

Sounds better without ;) I have same bass with clear pick guard

I prefer the no pick guard look. I like to see the wood grain. Back in 2005 I built a Warmoth jazz bass with a 3A quilted maple top which I stained with ruby red aniline dye. It was rear routed. Covering that beautiful quilted maple would be a crime.

Great video to test the effects of placebo

I only being playing for a year, I am not an expert and a can tell the stock bridge it has a slight brighter sound. Which is I guess ideal for slapping and popping song. I am more of a blues, 50s R&R, Motown guy so I replaced my stock bridge (105g) to a Gotoh 201B-4 (165g) and I find that the way it holds the strings in place to keep excess vibration in check and makes it easier to play and more predictable. That’s my 2 cents on the matter depend of what type of music you play a if it makes easier for you to play, I just split the baby and whet semi-himass. IMHO

had me playing this wrong for years

To my ears rthe Rotos have more “Bite’ and topend slys sound slightly smoother

Where are the ghost notes???

damn, the 60s sounds way more fuller, with more low end and with a ton more growl compared to the 70s, the 70s doesn't sound bad (I own a 70s style JB so I love it and I know the sound very well lol) and it is way more brighter and snappy but it is less "growly" and IMO sounds better with flats as it does tame the high end a lot because otherwise the bass with new strings sounds VERY bright, crazy how just 1cm makes a ton of difference I love both for different reasons

Where are all these songs from??

No difference. The micro tone difference comes from the name written on the packaging. Originals for me.

Sounds magnificent, great playing too

Amazing work, nice p bass.

To put it in layman's terms, I think, in the upper mids: 60s spacing = more of a DENG to it. 70s spacing = more of a ZONG to it. I'm a big fan of both but lean towards the zong haha.

Hi, what was the recording chain for this video?. Killer tone man!!

😎❤💫

Amazing 3 Flea bass videos! Can you do one on his other basses? (Wal, Alembic, etc?)

Wow bro

Bart Funk, you are the man! Thanks for all these amazing tabs!

Amazing, thanks!

Good video Bart. I prefer the regular bridge. Very specific usecase the high mass can be good, but for most players, the stock one is best. I never really got the concept of adding a heavy block of metal to your bass. Will only make everything resonate less I would say.

This helps so much! Thank you! I already have a stingray, I think the 60 spacing is its own horse, where the 70 spacing is closer to an MM pickup.

Que vídeo completo! Parabéns!

The rounds a too scooped for me.

Tear that thing up white boy!! 👍 Seriously: That's some very clean and on point playing! (This from another white boy that loves funk that's been playing bass for 50+ years.)

So this actually isn’t the baseline at all and you can tell by listening to it for 2 seconds

Cool!!!

What's insane to me is the differences sound less pronounced with just the bridge pickup on than with both on.

3:03 that bass was played in Rock am ring 2004 at by the way

Bass line sounds like Prince- Erotic City

Thanks for this comparison! Just picked up a 5-string Stingray Special, gonna slap some flats on there

Totally Awesome!!

so great !

…any idea why he stopped using Modulus?

Man this is so awesome

What is the "2-5" note with the three thick horizontal lines? And how to play it?

I just picked up a Stingray and wanted to try something different... I think flats might be what I do on its setup. Loved that sound!

Brilliant, thanks

Great sound demo, very help full thanks a lot for your review👌 Can you remember which strings you used since they sound fantastic!

Song names? Amazing video !
