I'd take a double bass on a desert island so I could build a boat with it

Probably the best bass regardless considering there is no electricity there xD

[@georgecookonbass]

That Overwater bass sounds so great! That slightly active edge to the sound really adds something

[@dumbopj3392]

Got a mexican p bass, drop c tuned. Sounds great also on alt rock, stoner and crossover. I think precision is the most versatile bass I've ever played!

[@grantkoeller8911]

So many players love the sound of the tone turned all the way down ,full bass, with no treble, however it can get muddy.

[@DiogoBaeder]

In order of preference for the P basses: A) Amazing ones: 1- Moolon (I would bet this is the bass that cuts the most through the mix, comparing all 4) 2- "P bass of doom" (that relic one) B) Good, but unimpressive: 3- Fender Nate Mendel (I feel a bit of a lack of middle frequencies in it) 4- Overwater (I just don't like active P basses too much, IMO the best part of the P bass usually gets cut off with active circuitry) That said, I would take the Moolon to the "desert island" :-)

[@pauljones6819]

Comprehensive and informative as always Scott. P Bass - 2007 built American Fender black with maple neck, scratch plate changed from white to black with flat wounds. Last P Bass with S-1 switch sold new in the UK. Go to bass and therefore probably desert island bass - Ibanez SR5000 Prestige with round wounds. Loving the SBL One Strap Black Edition - might even hold up my Overwater 5 string.

[@smartfacemusic]

Man. That overwater bass is gorgeous.

[@beatlesrgear]

I sent my Fender Telecaster to Overwater for a refret job and they did a fantastic job and did not charge me a fortune like some other places wanted to. Overwater is great quality and great people.

The Adam Clayton Fender Jazz Bass Signature

[@videoschiche8367]

My desert Island bass would be my Jazz Bass, the one of my profile. I bought it in 1975, and customized it a lot. Fretless rosewood neck with varnish, bronze bridge, Kent Armstrong J pickups, a Fender P bass pickup between the 2 J pickups (with a switch to select the neck J bass or the P Bass pickup), bronze nut and a hipshot to drop the E string in D (or lower). To get it you'll have to take it from my cold dead hands! ;-)). By the way, I love the enthusiasm that you show in all your vids.

My Squier P Bass is my axe. Yes, it’s cheap. But man, I love the look of it, and the classic growl. Always will be with me as long as I’m on this earth.

[@kraigompls]

Since you asked, a couple of years ago I had some money and I found a 2008 five string Fender American Standard P-Bass. It's one of my two keepers.

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

The Japanese mid 90s ones are nice! (This is what I realistically have my eye on) They get a lot of finish checking by now (expect cracks in the paint work) but they are the best value to quality (still expensive though but woth it) still have a phat neck mace to the highest standards and don't demand the crazy prices tye usa ones do and imho just as good in that mid 90s era - 94 to 96 is gold for the MIJ's - under $800 is am ABSOLUTE bargain and these proves can be had if you really look around (play it and check it over 1st though - dont get ripped off).

[@golfboy83]

My dream/dessert island bass would be a BC Rich mockingbird. I love the sound of double p bass pickups. That split coil at the bridge position sounds soooo great. I dont get why that isn't more common

[@benjahn1661]

I have two dingwall basses. My first dingwall, the afterburner 2 is my old work horse. I've had it for over 10 years and it's never let me down. I love the way it feels. It's beautiful! And the sound is amazing and INCREDIBLY versatile with its active or passive tunability. Now, I just received a custom built dingwall super PJ. It's a passive P Bass with a J pickup. Three tone sunburst. Wenge neck and fingerboard. I'd have a pretty hard time deciding which bass to save in a fire. The new P bass is just so gorgeous! It has the original one strap which complements the natural burst so well! But often I find myself reaching for the afterburner 2 for gigs. The versatility is unmatched. In almost any situation I can make it sound "better" then the P Bass. Feel free to hit me up for pics. Thanks Scott!

[@karadordarkraven]

Love the Candy Apple Red on the Nate Mendel....

[@brian-uq7xf]

Desert Island Bass: MM Stingray 5HH In a previous vid you asked what bass folks would like to see given away ...How about your signature Overwater - that would be brilliant !!

[@waylonnobles4870]

I would take my Nate Mendel P bass. On a side note, my wife purchased an SBL black edition bass strap for a wedding anniversary gift and all I can say is that this strap is the best and most comfortable bass strap I have ever used and owned. Thank you Scott!!! And a big thank you to my awesome wife!!! Cheers!

[@erichartley3762]

you'd think that a promo video for a bass guitar strap would have music with a prominent bass line consisting of a funky melodic groove to make you feel like you need said strap wrapped around you for safety just to listen! ; ) love what you put out in the world Mr. Devine you make me want to be a better both as a person and bass player.

[@thegoodfella534]

My desert island/dream bass would probably be a Warwick Streamer or a Spector. I’m a fan of that tone!🤘🏻

[@jeffreyroot5760]

Desert Island Bass is a Roscoe signature Century 5 string. I had shoulder/nerve issues approximately 40 years ago (my left arm would tingle and fall asleep so badly it would wake me up in the middle of the night. So I devised a solution using two straps. One good quality wide strap and a nylon Cheapie. Haven't had a problem for nearly 40 years and all of my basses sit perfectly balanced ( no hands) with the weight distributed to both shoulders. FYI: My gigging bass for over 15 of those 40 years was a very heavy 6 string made out of Padauk and still no problems.

[@mycatis4257]

My dream bass I own, and that is awesome! I'd take a Ibanez btb 1206e ntf prestige! They look, sound, and play awesome!

[@denman0621]

I just put together a parts Fender P-bass. A maple mex neck with a brass nut, sunburst mex body, vintage p-bass split-coil pickups, Grover tuners and a stock bridge. The thing feels amazing, sounds just as good and has the action set super low! I have a super-cozy and easy to play Ibanez. Somehow, I am always grabbing this bass I just assembled. I just love it!

[@mpetrinobassist]

I remember when I asked you the desert island question in an episode of Ask Scott and you answered. Now you’re asking us! My bass would be a 60s jazz bass hands down!

[@brianbroomell1233]

I'd probably want my 73 cortez p bass so smooth and mellow and just all around great bass .

[@rarebasses]

I own, Warwick (German custom shop) A StingRay Classic, ‘72 P-Bass, and countless other nice basses, BUT if I was stranded on a Island I would definitely want a plane old Guild Pilot SB-602 the one with the Poplar body. I have owned 15 or so Pilots and I always go back to them.

[@groofay]

A desert island bass for me would be a 5-string fretless. I don't know much about brands and whatnot yet, so I don't know which one. But I love the fretless feel and sound to no end.

[@Thejeditusken2]

My desert island bass: my Frankenstein PJ bass - Squier Affinity PJ body - Fender Mexican Standard maple neck - Hipshot D-Tuner - EMG Geezer Butler PJ pickups - Rotosound Swing Bass 66 strings .105-.45

I like how you bring p bass playing into the on-the-go world

[@devinebass]

🧡🧡🧡

[@rossivertsen-personal]

I love that overwater bass! The active circuit gives the P that extra growl. For me I love love love (like in a borderline odd way) my Fender Deluxe active Precision Bass Special (just the name is a mouthful!); It’s got a PJ configuration with Fenders noiseless pickups and a stupid huge -18db boost and cut on the midrange... I just recently added a hipshot range extender on the e string tuned to a low D so it’s like having a 5 string bass in a 4 string setup. It’s the Swiss Army knife of Basses! With any amp set eq flat I can get a range of tonal pallet that’s unbelievable!

[@wildturkey007]

I’d have to take a Jazz bass, either my standard fretted or my Jaco signature. I’m just in love with the Fender Jazz Bass. Everything about it is beautiful.

[@homunculusSZN]

Jaco rules! That J Bass is timeless.

[@jamessum825]

I just bought a squier 70’s classic vibe p bass and my God if it isn’t the sweetest bass I’ve ever owned. I love it.

[@mrosilvR7]

I just played a Highway One Precision this weekend and I did not want to put that thing down. It easily beat out an Elite and a was even with a new Music Man. I would definitely consider that for my desert island bass. I rocked a '97 American Standard for a year and wouldn't mind taking that either

[@davehein1418]

My SBL One strap arrived yesterday. It is really good; difference was immediately apparent. I've tried a bunch of straps over the last couple months, most over 3 inches wide, but this one is the keeper. With some of the other straps I was getting neck pain and also fighting "neck dive" from my heavy 5-string bass; with SBL One I don't have any neck pain and I it's a lot easier to keep the bass in the playing position I need.

[@adriandunn6652]

Dream desert island bass: Pre ernie ball Music Man Stingray, Maple neck and fretboard, Sunburst. Although I do currently play a lovely ash bodied Warwick Corvette, it growls...

[@mikelabelle1145]

I own my dream bass! Fender Ultra American P Bass, similar too the last red p, has the hi mass bridge. Basically custom shop with limited color choice. I am in love with it 1000%

Desert island dream bass? A custom 34" neck-thru (with a better volute and less headstock angle) SG bass with a reverse "P" in the neck, normal "P" in the bridge, and a single volume/single tone/3-way switch in a worn cherry finish.

[@krystianrobichaud4392]

Fender Mustang PJ, versatile little bastard of a bass

[@chaosopher23]

I rescued a Washburn G. W. Lyon p-bass from a flood. Its neck is still a bit warped, but I repaired the electronics. It sounds okay, though I feel it needs at least a pair of 15" speakers to have some fun. It needs neck work, but I can play it. It's my first bass. Desert island bass... five strings, nice action, fun to play, and has an amplifier made of coconuts and can be heard on neighbouring islands.

[@woofystevenson2943]

out of the basses i have, my yellow p bass with a brass nut and super heavy strings on it. dream bass is a custom bolt on red thunderbird with a lace aluma p bass pickup with a massive neck and hipshot ultralite tuners and hipshot b style bridge with 37 inch scale 12 inch radius 21 frets maple fingerboard and 5 piece maple paduak neck and a basswood body single volume knob and killswitch brass nut glow in the dark blue dot inlays white pearloid pickgaurd and chrome hardware.

Desert island bass: my '82 Fender Precision Special-Walnut. Fender's first foray into custom basses. Sold it 17 years ago when drugs took over my life. Bought it back two weeks ago from the same dude. I was crazy to ever part with it. But the universe did me a solid!

[@davidtidwell7987]

Man this made me so happy to hear brother....I did the same. Just spent around 3500 replacing all my shit wasn't lucky enough to get my 77 jazz back. But was lucky enough to get a beautiful pbass. Glad you got your baby back and even more happy you got off the shit. Cheers, brother!

Whenever someone is not sure about rock's influence on modern life just remind them that we never say "...that will jazz your world" or "... that will rap your world" and so on. :-) Nice instruments.

[@jimdep6542]

Around 35...40 years ago, as a full timer, I was doing 6 nighter's regularly...4.5 sets a night. After about 8 years of steady playing, I was only in my mid 20's and started having neck and shoulder pain which progressively got worse. I had a leather harness made for which went around BOTH shoulders, and connected above the belt. There was another harness that went around the P Bass. Right in the middle of the back of the bass, there was a swivel connector where the two harness's attached. With a swivel connection, the bass neck could move up and down, and freely adjust to your playing position as it would normally. The benefit was that the weight was evenly distributed over both shoulders, which made the weight of the bass feel like nothing and I no longer felt pressure on my neck and shoulders. This worked great when doing consecutive long nights. If anyone is worried about back, neck / shoulder pain, I suggest finding a leather worker in your area and have one made. I've never seen one mass produced, but I've never really looked. : ) Thanks for your video's Scott. I really enjoy your playing style, both melodic and percussive. My dream bass would be to have a replica of what Doug Rauch used with Santana in 1972 and 73, He played an all black Fender Jazz bass with a "Mudbucker" pickup next to the neck, a jazz pickup in the middle and split P pickups for the bridge, and also had a "in/out of phase toggle installed . He was able to blend the pickups to get an amazing variety of tones. He played mostly with his thumb, the original double thumbing technique, and did incredible percussive grooves which mixed beautifully with the congas and timables. He was one of the 1st bassists I know of who used a Mutron Phaser occasionally. Doug was using his before the O'Jays did that " Money Money Money" song, which made that tone famous but rarely used by other bassists. Sadly Doug Rauch died in San Francisco of a heroin OD in April of 1979. Besides Santana's Caravansaria, Welcome, and Lotus live album, Santana and McLaughlin's "Love Devotion and Surrender", he can also be heard with Billy Cobham's " Life & Times" and Lenny Whites "Venusian Summer". Love your energy, Jim

[@xpatsteve]

P-Basses have always been my favorite so my desert island bass is the one I have now. It's a natural sunburst 1978 Precision with a rosewood fingerboard and black pick guard. Bought it used back in 1986 and it's completely original. I've had a few basses over the years (my first was a brand new '72 Fender Musicmaster): a fretless P-bass, Gibson Thunderbird, Guild B-302 (I do miss that one), Guild Pilot and a Fender Jazz, among others. Like you, Scott, I prefer a rather hefty neck that makes me work and that's one of the reasons I've kept this one for so long. That, and the overall heavy, solid construction that gives it such an indestructible feel and sound you can only get from a P-Bass.

[@mrosilvR7]

Love seeing your kids, sir! They are a ton of fun! My Desert Island bass might be a Bongo 6 (or maybe a 5), but I like the idea of a stand-up.

[@LeslieAB30]

A few years ago I treated myself to a Burns Bison, white bass. It looked really nice, I almost threw it in the skip. The weight distribution was totally wrong. The neck and headstock was so heavy that I spent most of the time supporting the neck with my left hand, which severly limited my movements. If I just used the strap and let go with my hands the headstock immediately took a dive. I contacted Burns 'support' and they said, "Yeah, some are like that". I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

My early 90's Fender MIM P...recently upgraded/refurbished with Seymour Duncan SPB-2 Hots & new electronics...still passive. The upgrade really brought the bass back to life after a pretty flat sounding period. Interestingly, the serial number identifies my P as a Jazz bass on the Fender site...no idea why.

[@gregkuepfer9100]

My desert island bass is the one I have which is a 1965 P-Bass with 10+ year old fender flatwounds (medium gauge because I am not quite as skilled as James Jamerson ).

Have had a 1962 P Bass since 1970. Other than refinishing the body and replacing a cracked pick guard, everything is original. My son, a better musician than his dad, still plays it. Classic P Bass tone and exceptional ergonomics. Less weight and better balance than the current crop of P Basses. In recent years I decided I wanted something more contemporary including active electronics. Shopped Chicago, Seattle and Phoenix before I settled on a G&L M2000. A bit of Leo lives on in this bass. Again great ergonomics and great tone. More dynamic due to the active electonics.

I own my dream bass and what's better it only cost me £150. It's a P bass by Vintage. Bought it second hand cos I needed something cheap in a hurry for something I was doing. Found it on ebay, saw that it had Wilkinson hardware on it so thought it shouldn't be terrible and I went for it. How was I to know that it's the best bass I've ever played? Maybe I was just lucky but this thing is so resonant and musical that it's a complete dream to play. It really does feel alive when you play it and just gives and gives all the time. The crazy part is that it cost a 10th of my previous bass but I wouldn't swap it for the world. She's my baby!
