I Stole Dave Simpson's Bass

[@gregmock6808]

My favorite internet duo! I love when you two do videos together....keep them coming!

[@II__DAVE__II]

Is this girl riding Dave?

[@gregmock6808]

@@II__DAVE__II Let's just say they are making beautiful music together and leave it at that.....Dave has never looked so happy and Cici is just a joy...hope they are both doing whatever gives them great joy...however that manifests itself

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

I’m so happy to hear that, that’s really kind of you to say. Thank you!! :)

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

@@II__DAVE__II I’m sorry Dave you’re not really my type 🤣

[@paulwaldronslash]

Yep that Was great as always, were do you get your backing tracks from? 🤔😁🌹

[@nobodyanderson4353]

I've got a Morris Japanese jazz copy and it sounds fantastic. New frets and neck shimmed and it's all good. My daughter is 13 and loves watching you, she is a quiet shy teenager but loves her bass playing. I got her a vox bassmaster really thin neck but sounds good.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Killer Backing track and solo!!! Love the whole thing happening with the trio.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much! :)

[@aftertheendtimes]

Cici you are so awesome! :D Love your channel, aswell Dave´s channel you two are so cool and makes me smile =) BTW this bass sounds wicked! Love cheers To you and Dave

[@Roady-13]

Fun video, I've been a Dave fan for a few years now. Glad to have found your channel!! ☮️-Roady

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much!! I’m really happy to have you here :)

[@MTBTexasBikeRider]

That’s so cool 😎 when you and Dave do a video together the Bass sounds so amazing 🤩

[@atb1325]

Nice jam Miss Cici!! Just a word of advice on "stealing" Dave's guitars. As soon as touch Mr. White, Mr. Red or any of the Oswald's, Dave will "feel" the disturbance in the Force and you're busted. LOL!! 🤣

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Hahaha!! I actually think there’s a massive possibility we both have that sense for real 😂 I’ll stick to the Columbus… Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@areyouavinalaff]

@@CiciVonStrangelove lol go put a single finger print on one just to see if he later comes back with "have you touched my guitar?"

[@konstantin_lv]

Hi Cici, you're saying at 01:23 Dave has whittled down the neck from a baseball bat to a kindling. Would this work with a thick guitar neck, too? Is there any risk that the neck can bend afterwards, go out of tune sooner etc.? I have a spare Ibanez Roadstar neck that's way too thick with a black paint layer on it and it may need this kind of treatment. Thanks :-)

[@carpediemarts705]

Posted my question about neck trimming and then saw yours. I imagine if there's a truss rod, you would have to dig pretty deep to ruin the neck. Probably a question you could get a good answer from a luthier or repair shop quicker.

[@konstantin_lv]

@@carpediemarts705 thanks, meanwhile a luthier has worked on my Roadstar neck, but another way around, he had to file down 1.5 mm of my...hmm, slightly ruined fretboard. I butchered the refret job a couple years ago. I'll see how it has turned out some weeks later. 😃 So technically the neck has been slimmed down 😁

[@carpediemarts705]

@@konstantin_lv you just trimming it from the front and not the backside

[@roger_001]

Cool jam! one question, why dont you play fender style basses, is there any specific reason to it? oh and another question, are you gonna do some kind of AnQ weekly videos?

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you!! :) I think I’ll do a one off Q&A video and see how it goes, in which case this can be the very first question! :)

[@roger_001]

@@CiciVonStrangelove Yes!!! that´d be awesome

[@twotone918]

Made my night when I saw a new Cici video, not disappointed more class bass playing, ps don't give Dafe it back, it needs to be played regular......

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Aww I’m so happy to hear that, thank you so much! :)

[@paulwaldronslash]

Yep that sounded great, were do you get your backing tracks from 🤔😁🌹

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

I make them with a looper! :)

[@EdBMetal]

Wow, at first glance it looks like a top end bass. The price had me drop my jaw. A real beauty and sounds amazing. Great video and wonderful bass playing Cici! Really enjoying your content! You rock ✨🤘😎✌️✨

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you’re enjoying it!! :) It’s an amazing bass for the price isn’t it!

[@carpediemarts705]

So what tools did Dave use to whittle down his neck with? I hate beefy Rickenbacker and Stingray necks and theorized I could stand one if I trimmed it down to an Ibanez/Washburn profile. I considered a hand held belt sander w 36 grit.

[@johnoneill919]

Very entertaining Cici !

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

I’m happy to hear that, thank you!! :)

[@KevlarVTX]

Awesome. Never heard of the bass but great playing.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)

[@jacktarbuck6949]

Love it! That's just how I'd imagine Dave sleeping - guitar in arms 😂

[@erikmeijer631]

You little rascal you. Have a great weekend Cici.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

You too Erik!! :)

[@silviocattaneo9256]

Bellissimo basso congrats ❤

[@evelbasturd5692]

Cici went all Pink Panther on us. Love it.

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Haha!! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

[@frankperricone2065]

I am now only buying Japanese basses and guitars. That bass looks exactly like my 75 Fender Jazz except mine has white inlays and white binding. I have my vintage Fender P and J's and even my first bass I got when I was 13, a 66 Gibson EB-0. The last 2 years I have been buying nothing but late 70's to mid 80's basses and guitars.I am almost 60 now and I have enough vintage instruments. I like getting those Aria Pro ll,Westone, Westbury and Ibanez instruments for fairly cheap with maybe something wrong with them and fixing them up. By working on them I am realizing some of them are just as any Fender or Gibson and sometimes better. I still love those big brand names but I will not spend the money for them, unless it's cheap because something needs to be fixed. I am not the headstock snob that I used to be, a good guitar is a good guitar no matter what it says on the headstock.

[@Innerspace100]

That ending with Dave: Dave, after having ironically cried his heart out, immediately begins to lay plans to steal that Ibanez Explorer-esque guitar of Carina's that he's so chuffed about... Hmmm... the plot thickens...

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

I’m now on guard… I should’ve considered that 🤣

[@johncaldwell3558]

WOW! you are the love of my life. Awesome playing. yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

An actual Fender MIJ (80s to mid 90s) 62 reissue P bass (which was better than any USA Fender bass at the time) from the Fujigen factory (which made the best Fender MIJ's, they made J basses to) was cheapish (for what it is) until recently. You used to be able to get them for £500, I've heard ones that sound better than Fender usa custom shop basses that cost £4000 infact I've A B'd them with 1960's fenders in shops that are worth £11000+ on several occasions and have preferred the Fujigen Fenders. I think the cats out the bag in these now, but if you can still scoop one for a reasonable price, it may be worth it.

[@marianosaab2560]

Dave's crying like Dwight killed me

[@ericj.w.ruijssenaars3421]

Cici, you cheeky woman 🙈! Poor Dave wil never be the same again... 😱

[@CiciVonStrangelove]

Haha!! He got me back by stealing my Telecaster ;)

[@johncaldwell3558]

Cici I have a Columbus that is better than any Fewnder I have seen. I have a Grant that is fantastic too. People don't understand that if they source the right one what they are missing. The 70's guitars were AWSOME. I have fenders and all but these are Japans best. Columbus and Grant's Rock. (non plywood of course)

[@davelewis4215]

I’ve always wondered if Dave slept on the sofa 😂🤣👍

The most Beautiful bass player on earth! ❤😊😮
