OK...Awesome! Props for taking the time to lay all of this down. I vote for the Pino...

[@petrdlabola8850]

Serek, Citron, Jazz 66

[@chrisbreese1542]

Love it! Thank you. The correct bass was, of course, the first one. 😀

[@davidhammers9708]

goddamn, Moollon, Serek, Callowhill, and it keeps going... well done!

[@JS_bass]

Great channel! I love that Jazz bass V Moolon! can you tells us more about Moolons please?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

They're some of the best Fender-style basses you can buy! I have three for a reason. If you want a Pre-CBS-style Fender, there's none better. Young Joon puts a ton of work into details, like manufacturing his own hardware to emulate the aluminum alloy Fender used back in the day. Get one!

[@ChadHargis]

P bass for the win! Especially the first one!

[@Oscaraha]

Cool! Great tune to practice in 18 basses!

[@oliverkarstens]

Thanks! This is great! Love the synths too! Total gear nerds would sure like to know which strings are on the different basses. 🤓

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass Thanks!!! 🙏

[@MadMagicPaul]

Excellent!

[@andysvec2009]

awesome! We should turn it into the #jonathanherrerabasschallenge, I already dug out my 'standing in the shadows of motown' book and thinking of tuning up my collection :)

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

I'm in! How do we do that?

[@andysvec2009]

@@JonathanHerrera_Bass I'll do the same track, I have 17 basses, then I'll post it to my fb/ig and hashtag it #jonathanherrerabasschallenge, share on talkbass too and try to get a bunch of guys to do the same! I was trying to edit a few together today that's harder than the playing :) I'm just doing live clips from my iphone and editing together with basic software, won't be as well produced as yours but will be fun to try it, thanks for the inspiration!

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

@@andysvec2009 DOPE! Thanks for the idea. Let's use #jonherrerabasschallenge, though. It's slightly less of a mouthful. Can't wait to see!

[@solobasssteve]

Love this! Such a useful comparison. :)

[@icorn25]

This is awesome! What’s the signal path look like?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

Ethan Eichhorn thanks! Direct into a Neve 5017, Orion 32 conversion, Logic, tiny splash of UAD LA-2A

[@timhutchinson8485]

Thoughts on the Serek?

[@JonathanHerrera_Bass]

The bomb, especially w/ the Bi-sonic pickup.

[@Belman5]

Great playing Jonathan. To me, each and every bass had it own unique appeal......except for the synth bass, just NOOOOOO!
