my RIDICULOUS bass collection - 2023 Update

Who doesn’t secretly dream of having a crazy bass collection right? Though truth be told Scott's actually been thinking about scaling back lately, which is why Ian and he went through his entire bass collection to discuss which ones he might be selling or giving away…
So find out which ones are definitely going, and which are probably here to stay in today’s video!

[@leethebassplayer4902]

We need a video on Ian’s bass collection next!

[@p3dro734]

yyyesssss!!!!

[@devinebass]

the video would be WAY too long, lol! ;)

[@professorweedington4962]

That would be a feature length film

[@amsknirb]

@@devinebass and worth every second!

[@samkeen]

I’d love to see this jazz bass collection we’ve heard about!

[@ResidentRob]

I loved watching Ian nerd out playing the Magnum bass and playing 'Don't Stop Believin', pure joy.

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@1963sthomas]

Back in the early 80's I bought a fretless Wal. Very similar look to Scott's Wal with an amazing unmarked neck. I went down to the factory, played and discussed lots of options, what a day that was - they then built it for me over the coming months. It took me many years to pay it off, but what a bass. 20+ years later - it was stolen from my house in London. I'm pretty sure the thief had no idea what they had... I searched hard for many years but it never turned up. A bit of a sad end but we played many gigs togther and watching this video brought back some lovely memories...

[@exhpv]

I dunno, all these boutique basses in the world, but I still find an old jazz bass to be the coolest of the lot..

[@GregSRX7]

I thought the same thing...That 1974 Jazz had the sound I loved.

[@rossinisilva1302]

You both on video together are a such a joy to watch. Half an hour of smiles and fun, good vibes. Blessings on you all

[@andrew_owens7680]

For the longest time I was freaked out. I couldn't tell them apart and was wondering if it was one guy who alternated accents. Gillian Anderson who was raised in Britain can do that.

[@RedshiftDougal]

41:07 A very fun to watch video, guys. Thank you! As an instrument maker, I've just *got* to make one correction [pushes spectacles up bridge of nose]: the top and back facings on the Wal Mk1 are in stained *sycamore*, not spruce. Spruce is far too soft to use as a facing and never has figuring (flame) like that. End of pedantry. 😊

[@pwlebrun4573]

But wait! There’s more (pedantry)! For the Yanks out there, “sycamore” in the U.K. is a variety of maple (oh what the hell, let’s go Full Pedant: Acer pseudoplatanus), while the sycamore in North America is related to the plane tree.

[@inspector_7152]

The output of a Wal can be adjusted in the electronics section. There are 4 mini pots inside. 2 are for slight adjustment of the low mid of each pickup, one for gain and one for the amount of pick attack.

[@DLHshed]

My favorites out of them all imo: 1. 84 Ken Smith, 2. Wal 3. Alleva Copollo. Amazing collection overall Scott! I enjoyed this very much, thanks!! ❤

[@TheEnderBand]

That Alleva popped right out at me, such a rich sound

[@devinebass]

🧡🧡🧡

[@jeremytarling5164]

If you need any storage space Scott, I'd be happy to look after a few for you!!😂

[@devinebass]

🤣🤣🤣

[@user-tf7uo9tv8d]

I went to Leeds College of Music in 1988 and did the 3 year jazz degree course... you didn't miss much! I have learned more through watching you than I ever did at Leeds...

[@devinebass]

Wow, that's some high praise! We're thrilled to have been a part of your bass education journey. Keep on groovin', and remember, the best lessons are often the ones you're passionate about! 🎸🎶🤘

[@zprep4707]

This is just so damn comfy to watch…makes the work day go by so fast and stressless. Love the demos/comparisons and love those beauties! (the basses…sorry guys 😂).

[@devinebass]

🤣🙌🏻🧡

[@johnshanebass]

What's your job? Watching paint dry?

[@LCA1985]

Others watching the amazing bass collection and drowling....me pausing the demos to appreciate the amazing fills and chops of Scott when playing them...😮 . Seriously, you have such a good taste and technique, everything sound beautiful and meaningful. I definetly have to learn some of those fills 😂

[@BarefacedAudio]

I remember hearing that anecdote about your conversion to bass from Chris after I’d done a talk about speaker tech at the Bass Guitar Show 2017 - I also got quite a few decades of UK bass & amp history from him, we were chatting ages avoiding the deafening chaotic noise of the main hall! That first job worked out well for you! 🙌

[@devinebass]

Oh, that's a cool memory from the Bass Guitar Show! It's amazing how those chance encounters can shape our musical journeys. Keep on groovin', and thanks for being a part of the bass community! 🎸🎶🤘

[@stevenvedder4298]

Always a pleasure hanging with you guys.

[@toromihearts2]

My favourite has to be the 70s jazz bass, the wear and finish on it is gorgeous and I just love the simplicity of a really solid fender jazz - will be my dream to eventually have a bass just like that one.

[@devinebass]

It's a beast for sure! 🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@doug5yuiop]

Definitely the jazz basses for me.

[@charlielucas3386]

This video is so awesome to watch! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome chemistry between two awesome bassists! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 My brain just starts drooling with anticipation when I see these monster axes!! 🎼🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@devinebass]

Awesome to hear dude, thanks for checking out the video!

[@mikefellows3901]

Man I loved watching this, what a great insight into the best of bass out there ... Always lusted after a Wal and your comments just cemented my experience lol .... Cheers guys!

[@4strings4me]

Yo this is why I would never own more than 3 ro 4 basses at a time. It's too difficult to let them go. They become family to us. My first bass was given to me ( MusicMan 77 Sabre) Tabacco Sunburst with mutes on the bridge. It's been over 20 year but to this today I regret selling that bass. Great collection...

[@devinebass]

Totally get that connection to your basses! They do become like family, and we all have those special ones we wish we never let go of. Keep on groovin' with your collection! 🎶🤘

[@TheEnderBand]

Michael Anthony used a BB I believe. Yamaha makes great stuff, some of the best instruments I ever owned were Yamaha. I had a TRB 5 string and it had the clearest low B ever, I miss that thing I believe the late great Sean Malone of Cynic used a fretless Kubicki in the early 90s before switching to Ibanezes

[@devinebass]

Absolutely! Yamaha has a fantastic reputation for making high-quality instruments, and it's no surprise that Michael Anthony and others have found their sound with them. That TRB 5-string sounds like it was a gem! And it's interesting to learn about Sean Malone's journey with basses too. Keep those stories and grooves alive! 🎸🎶🤘

[@Miuweli]

And Malone switched to using a Ibanez GWB, also present in this video. Only later he started using what I believe to be defretted Soundgears. This is from what I've gathered over the years of being a fan of Malone's, especially Gordian Knot era.

[@marcblum5348]

Such videos where a broad range of basses are played by the same people in the same setting are so insightful. THX

[@och70]

Billy Sheehan's first Yamaha bass was a pink BB3000, you'll see him playing in the "On Bass" VHS tape.

[@devinebass]

Thanks for the cool trivia, and you're absolutely right about Billy Sheehan's pink BB3000! 🎸🤘 It's always fun to dive into the history of these iconic basses. Keep rockin'! 🎶🔥

[@PjRjHj]

Fricken awesome. A jaw dropping collection right there. Two great British legacy brands represented in Overwater and Wal, both with very different philosophies. Maybe one day they'll be joined by a Jaydee and Status? The two Ken Smiths sounded quite different to each other too. Who doesn't love that Fodera style dovetail neck joint. Wal and Ken Smith look to have similar pickup placement, though obviously very different humbuckers. As a short fella with small hands, I appreciated the amount of "33 inches with narrow string spacings 😅 *The Wal output difference is probably the pickup heights but don't forget the internal gain trimpot. I think i recall reading Wal's Pete Stevens considering their wenge topped basses as having the most aggressive, pronounced attack from their offerings. Also nice to see Mick Karn getting a shout out

[@devinebass]

Thanks for the awesome insight! It's incredible to see the unique philosophies of brands like Overwater and Wal showcased in this collection. And you're right, the diversity in sound and design, like that Fodera-style neck joint, adds so much character to each bass. Keep those grooves coming, and who knows, maybe a Jaydee and Status will join the family someday! 🎸🤘

[@andrewpinner3181]

Another great & fun video guys ! Cool basses & great talent from both !

[@markkarwan9360]

As a double bassist with a C-extension, the Kubicki extension makes perfect sense to me and I would love to see another manufacture use that idea!!

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

If I am not wrong, there would be a trim pot for the output inside the electronic compartment of the wal basses, so you could adjust that to match output of Ian's bass

[@AhhSwells]

Great video. When it comes to English basses it’s worth mentioning Status Graphite. Totally amazing instruments and a ton of great players that use them. Not just for top end slappy mark King style either. The neck pickup sound on them is astonishing.

[@gorandelac]

That Manne bass just sounds insane! So noble sounding...

[@michaelkennedy7709]

Awesome collection Scott! 🎸

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Obxhatman]

Very good back stories , and some really sick thumpers. The banana man , wow what an incredible sound across that board.

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kevinkwmiller]

Thanks so much for sharing. So many beauties. That Alleva Copollo is just gorgeous and sounds incredible. Wow!

[@markfretless]

Great geek fest, thoroughly enjoyed this; cheers to both of you and the whole crew who helped you put this together!🤗

[@ian_gotts]

LOVE the chemistry / banter between you

[@jhc82681]

I'm glad to see that even a master such as Scott D has to count frets in the upper register to see how many the bass has. Glad it's not just me!! 😆

[@JoshuaWyborn]

Live in Carlisle, and love Overwater! we used to be Facebook pals, and man, I adore your journey, Scott!

[@devinebass]

🧡🧡🧡

[@AlanBarberTV]

That was so good, thanks!

[@hardRIKY]

This video was such a pleasure to watch. I'd love to see Ian's collection

[@devinebass]

We'd be here for a while with Ian's!! Although maybe we will...

[@MAVIEGUITARS]

Best collection I've seen. Thumbs up!

[@jonbass1611]

It's amazing how different they all sound

[@OsmarOliveira]

Such a cool video! All basses are awesome, but there is something special with that 4 string Ken Smith and Alleva Coppolo. Ian's Wal sounds great too.

[@Dyshof]

Amazing! Lovit!

[@michaelolz]

The Factor 4 would be so handy. I've been learning a lot of songs lately that requires the bottom string tuned down to D. So being able to go from E to D with just a flick would be nice. The tone is really cool!

[@andyronayne7947]

Notable Yamaha players: Nathan East, Peter Hook, Curt Smith (Tears for Fears/Graduate), the dude from Van Halen etc etc

[@Bassdriver]

First bass with onboard active electronics? Alembic. First 5-string bass? Alembic. Give the Wickershams some credit, folks ;-) As for my favourites among Scott's basses - they go like that: 1. Wal (but with fresh strings, they don't like dead rounds, just like Alembics) 2. '84 Ken Smith 4 3. Yamaha BB ex aequo with the fretless F Bass. And if I could choose among the giveaway ones... I guess it would be the Willis Ibanez. I love playing fretless and that thing is just YUM.

[@devinebass]

Absolutely, Alembic made some groundbreaking basses with onboard active electronics! Ian's collection is indeed impressive, and each bass has its unique charm. That Willis Ibanez fretless sounds like a dream! Keep rockin' and enjoying those basses. 🎸🎶🤘

[@Bassdriver]

​@@devinebassahhh, me and my ADHD! I meant your basses, of course. The one you've showed here. All of them are awesome but the Wal, the '84 Smith, the BB and the fretless F are by far my favourites.

[@admarhermans1]

Scott, the Factor? In true John Taylor colour? Really? What are you? ‘Devine’ ? 🤣 This one’s special! Like the Banana bass and the ‘74 Jazz. It should go to a young humanoïd! Man, this feels like catharsis in it’s truest form! It’ll make you feel good, but think about the one that gets to play this as her’s/ his actual bass! Man, this is so beautiful what you are doing! I’m in tears here, but happy. Man, this giveaway is like ‘Giant Steps’ on a human level. 🖖

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

Yeah, Wal is the holy grail for me. Love that they both own one now!

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@Tomijee]

Beautiful collection indeed. Would love to video where you two play famous licks and riffs on p bass and jazz, where we can hear differences

[@RebelBuilder]

Such a great video! 🤘 Fender needs to make Scott a new neck for the P Bass of Doom! It’s weird that I’m sentimental about that bass, because that was the period that I became a SBL follower. We need Ian’s collection next!

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Awesome bass collection Scott. Great video.🙂

[@TinoR626]

I was looking for a fretless bass recently and found a 2019 MIM Fender Jazz for sale for 400 bucks. The guy bought it during covid but never played it. So i decided it wasnt a bad price. It came with a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pound pickups, badass bridge, hipshot tuner, and a hard case. He even gave me the Rumble 25, well worth the 2 hour drive. Those wondering the shop where he bought the bass from did all the work and the old parts were in the case.

[@bongosock]

The neck on the '74 Jazz bass looks to be on a slight angle: the strings where the neck meets the body don't look quite centred. If so, you can probably correct that fairly easily.

[@broskimedula5300]

This is not just a showcase of your collection, but there's a bit of bass guitar history and demos thrown in for good measure. Me likey likey.

[@cestusfr]

what a treat it was.

[@xanderdaniels8284]

The Yamaha BB basses have my favorite necks ever, some other noteable BB players would be Peter Hook, Nathan East, Abraham Laboriel (at least at one time he did), and my personal favorite, Tetsuo Sakurai.

[@robwingler1610]

Such a cool video. Awesome collection. Do one for Ian’s too!

[@jonathanfeuerstein4221]

Amazing collection. Love it! More please

[@devinebass]

🧡🧡🧡

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

The last bass , the ' WAL ' bass is a beautiful monster ! Love it !

[@musicman0024]

Just did the same, down to 18 (from 30), was hard at first, but feeling more free emotionally to play them more since the heard is thinned out. Will probably cut down to 12. That will be a good number for me.

[@TrevBec]

LOVED this video. The Kubicki sounds soooooo good! It was Slap, Pop and Tap where I first saw/ heard a Kubicki.

[@devinebass]

So good! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@empirelight5477]

That is such a great collection.

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Love these collection videos !

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@carltonjackson1967]

Saw your interview with marcus miller and brilliant question and input about sire basses.. i learned somethng new.. Respect your love for bass.. keep bassing 😊

[@kbnathan1]

As If you wanted to go to Leeds college of music, I’m working there atm its called Leeds conservatoire. I recently picked up a bass and started learning since I’ve been working there and I came across your channel a few months ago. I just entered the competition and became an SBL Academy member! I’m looking forward to checking out the lessons and improving my bass playing. Some awesome basses in this collection too :)

[@TheBangAttack]

Iconic duo!

[@hubertried19]

the d-tune of that Factor 4 is so .... brilliant !!!

[@keithbutler2222]

The 'Don't Stop Believin' bass and the Live aid bass...very cool.

[@Tone_Jammer]

A lot of songs by the smiths were recorded on a Yamaha BB by Andy Rourke

[@devinebass]

🔥🔥🔥

[@lennyghoul]

That Journey bass is insane!

[@La_sagne]

yeah... it looks and sounds like its on a different level eventhough these are all top quality, not exactly cheap basses

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

So many basses, but the only one I would want is this beautiful '74 Fender Jazz! Also, no StingRay no fun(k)! 😋

[@balisaani]

Same

[@devinebass]

That '74 Fender Jazz has its own magic for sure! And you're right, the StingRay brings the funk. 😄🎸🎶 Keep grooving!

[@bennettdrew]

I love my early 90s Kawai 5 string bass. Amazing tone.❤

[@brentheathersimons7042]

Scott and Ian if you ever get tired of the Wal basses feel free to send them my way! 😀...and the Kubicki...and the F Basses...and the 74 Jazz...😉 Brent, VT USA

[@devinebass]

Haha, we'll keep that in mind, Brent! 😉 You've got great taste in basses. Keep on rockin' in VT, USA! 🎸🎶🤘

[@brentheathersimons7042]

😀 Keep up the wonderful channel Gents!@@devinebass

[@0Nafod0]

top five I'd recommend: Ken Smith Basses: Known for their unique sound, cutting through mixes amazingly, and the innovation behind various modern bass features. Wall Basses: Despite their rarity and expense, these basses offer a distinctive, unique sound with experimental electronics and a one-of-a-kind shape. Manise Bass: A six-string, 32-inch scale bass made of multilaminate construction, offering a work of art look, solid neck, and both magnetic and piezo pickups. Capo Basses: Crafted with active electronics based on the Fender platform, offering a familiar Fender feel with a unique active setup. Ovation Magnum: Known for being used in famous tracks like "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, this bass offers a vintage vibe with a heavy, solid feel and a distinctive sound.

[@user-cz6ut5vl8k]

Scott not to correct you but it was Alembic first active electronics and to use a filter instead of just bass/mid treble, first multi laminent body's and neck and neck through, quick release strings, Graphite necks. I love mine just about anything you want and never a complaint.

[@papabearwinegarden]

I really wish Scott had used the Manne on his album. Its such a unique instrument. That '84 Smith is the unicorn, though. So many great sounds (and history!) in Scott's collection.

[@devinebass]

Thanks for the love for the Manne and the '84 Smith! 🎸🦄 Each bass has its special charm, and they all contribute to creating unique sounds. Keep groovin' and exploring those musical possibilities! 🎶🤘

[@jaycianfrini77]

Great collection!! Even better school. Praying I win the F-Bass VF4 Custom. Would love to see Ian's basses as well

[@xeverettx2564]

Really surprised not to see a maple board p-bass, RIC 4001-4003, Gibson EB-0/Thunderbird/RD, Tobias, MusicMan String Ray, and last but not least G&L!!! All of which are true rock n roll beast and even some good funk/r&b/jazz pieces. Oh that 80’s black yamaha BB3000 was played by Johnny Winters bass player through the 90’s-2,000’s straight up to his death. It was that exact black with matching headstock and the light colored rings around th pick up! One if not the greatest live blues bass man I have ever witnessed!

[@ghenos_153]

My top 4: 1. The P-bass of doom 2. BNF 5 3. Manne 6 strings 4. '74 jazz bass

[@shipsahoy1793]

Whether playing 5 years or 50, it’s nice to have at least a half dozen basses, a few amps, cabs, and some effects processing.

[@soopahsoopah]

25:10 It's a Kubicki EX- Factor because it has the drop-D lever. There are ones without the lever that are simply called Factor.

[@juancamilo4684]

WOA! that copppolo bass is made for slapping, it sounds amazing

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@BlueDevilsBari]

This may well be one of the Best Videos you have ever done! Need I say more? Love the Wal, But oooo the sounds that come from the Ken Smith are phenomenal! I think my fave is the F bass BNF-5!!! I really am super jealous!!! Great Collection!!!!!! With so many great choices, I don't see how you could ever pick one over the other!? I really do love them all! Pokemon Bass Collection: Gotta have 'em all! Until I do, I just have my 1979 Rickenbacker 4001 in Mapleglo, 2010 Fender American Deluxe Active Jazz Blonde Ash, and my Dean EAB4. I really regret getting rid of my 1975 Gibson Ripper Bass in natural, as well as my old short scale 1972 Fender Musicmaster in white(age yellowed to a cream color). Keep 'em all if you can, although I appreciate that you are doing a special giveaway.

[@098751thg]

Yes! I want to see Ian's collection!

[@Pehennji]

Unexpectedly I've been touched by the BNF5. 💗

[@kellyvibert7861]

The Gary Willis Ibanez sounds absolutely lovely. Nice video, really enjoyed watching Scott, thanks.

[@devinebass]

Thanks for checking it out dude! 🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@LGNYR]

That 74 Jazz is probably a 75 transition year bass, it has the chrome bullet truss rod adjuster for a a 75-76 but it has the older style headstock decal.

[@ulrichminky9495]

I have a ridiculous guitar collection, but I do play each and every one every single day. I do have a few favourites though. There have been dozens over the years that I have given away to people who showed a drive to learn but did not have a very good instrument to learn on. I began my descent into guitar madness in 1966. Cheers from the wilds of Canada. ~ulrich

[@devinebass]

Wow, that's an impressive collection and a generous spirit, Ulrich! Playing and sharing the love for music is what it's all about. Keep rockin' from the wilds of Canada! 🎸🍁🤘

[@ptl87]

fun video, thanks guys!

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@rogervallve7375]

Great collection. I live in Hamilton where f basses started. George made great guitars as well. I saw uzeb and met Alain. What a sound

[@devinebass]

F Basses = 🔥🔥🔥

[@snoopyjc]

Scott’s WAL sounds like the best bass of the bunch!!

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@MrJosten72]

Cool vid. Favourites? Ken Smith 4 (looks like a maple body behind that facing, which explains the sound IMO) and the Wals. The Kubicki is cool too. FWIW the wenge-faced Wal Customs I’ve played have always sounded better to me than most of the others.

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@josephpbrown]

8:56 Tetsuo Sakurai of Casiopea! Rocked a BB2K for the Mint Jams stuff and had a signature BB5K, as seen on the Galactic Funk live video

[@Fulltilt1973]

that laugh!! Ian knows Scott

[@Robert-bv4vm]

Would absolutely love Ians's collection

[@devinebass]

We'll try to make it happen dude! 🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@GuitarChimp]

Try adjusting the internal trim pots on your Wal bass :) I’m guessing you and Ian have them set differently as a lot of players don’t know to adjust them.

[@devinebass]

Great tip! It's all about finding that sweet spot for your own unique sound. Thanks for the advice! 🎸🎶👍

[@dwftube]

I'd never heard of F-Bass before seeing them on this channel, but all four here are awesome.

[@devinebass]

💯💯💯

[@JT-si6bl]

Ah wow man Scott was an overwater maker luthier! Stoked 100000000% more!

[@devinebass]

🙌🏻🧡🔥

[@bentucker2301]

That BNF 5 sounds amazing

[@MrGwg11]

Couple o dudes going through telling us which of their children are their favorite! Love this!

[@rws10923]

It figures that I'd miss a giveaway for a Gary Willis signature! Also, Jonas Reingold from the Flower Kings played a Yamaha BB for quite a while. Extremely unique sound. And the late, great Sean Malone played a fretless Kubicki Factor on Cynic's Focus album.

[@datutturugang666]

i have two Furlanetto (F bass) BN5, a fretted and a fretless one, the fretted one goes up to 26 ftrets, it’s insane

[@hanorokpony420]

I've gone light. Down to 9 basses 1. Ibanez Premium 2600 2. Epiphone Thunderbird 3. Warwick Corvette $$ 4. Harley Benton RB-414 5. MIM Fender Precision 6. Sire Marcus Miller v5 Jazz 7. Peavey Fury 8. Jackson Minion (son's bass) 9. Best Choice Acoustic (I play bass while hiking)
