Fender American Professional II Basses - Let's Check out the Range!

[@mrbungle7586]

And next year Fender will release a new model called the Fender Ultra Elite Players Professional Original Roadworn Jazz bass. Maybe with a 1 at the end. Can't wait lol. Cheers

[@trenken]

Didnt happen lol. They actually dont update them all that often. Just depends on sales really. Apparently the ultras and pro2’s are doing well so its been years since these basses got an update.

[@mrbungle7586]

@@trenken obviously I was being a little sarcastic but they're due. 2016 the Elite was released and 2019 the Ultra. Whoops, I was wrong. There's the Fender jazz gold foil recently released.

[@trenken]

@@mrbungle7586 they are due to us, who are greedy to get more models. For them it could still be another cpl years or whatever. Its harder now bc of all the supply chain crap. Its not as easy as it was for them to create a whole new line of instruments.

[@mrbungle7586]

@@trenken I was right, just saw there's the new gold foil edition., 🍺

[@trenken]

@@mrbungle7586 just pointing out that fender made the american standard for 8 years. So the pro2s and ultras really arent that old. They might change the colors up but we might be stuck with these models for years to come.

[@DarrenSaw]

Must get annoying having to take the batteries out of the smoke detectors at Andertons when they record all about the bass, those jams are on fire! 🔥

[@AnathemaBB]

The outro jam was an absolute banger

You all probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@jaxtynzachary5825]

@Fisher Lee instablaster :)

[@robingout]

That outro !!!! Thx for this magical moment !!

[@budgetguitarist]

As a guitar player who owns and plays two basses, I love what you guys are doing. Super entertaining and I always learn new things. It's also fun to listen to these bass jams - more fun than listening to guitar players jamming, to be honest. Also, these basses look and sound great.

[@fotoniknoise]

Most of the guitarists are some show-off souls and pretty invasive with their massive sound and boring solos

[@budgetguitarist]

@@fotoniknoise Pretty much.

[@juanticimo]

Man, as great as those J basses sound, when he starts digging in on that P, you really know why people love P basses.

[@TonyBiancoOfficial]

For sure. Definitely need one for my collection

[@virgiljones4808]

Love the way Neil doesn't get too involved in all the technical jargon - to be a great pilot you don't have to know how to build the plane and he can fly!

[@timchounard3851]

Fantastic to see these two together again... Unbelievable talents and brilliant, informative and entertaining reviews! PLEASE keep these two together!

[@stormsa-coming4315]

Amen.

[@WheresTheM3tal]

Love these guys!!! Getting one of these p basses as soon as the 5 strings come out! Never been much of a fender fan, but I’ve been looking at these for some time and they sound awesome!!!

[@andertons]

We were really impressed by the tones of the new range! We have the 5-string versions listed on our website with more information & pictures. Fender American Pro II 5-String in 3-tone Sunburst | www.andertons.co.uk/fender-american-professional-ii-precision-bass-v-rosewood-neck-3-tone-sunburst Fender American Pro II 5-String in Olympic White | www.andertons.co.uk/fender-american-professional-ii-precision-bass-v-rosewood-neck-olympic-white Thanks for tuning in & we're glad you enjoyed the episode!

[@paulorr7471]

Too much yuking it up for me. Prefer a serious review.

[@zbraDEVOzbra]

Nathan and Lee, you should really consider starting something together. Those jams are damn good each time

[@timchounard3851]

Totally agree!! I would literally pay for an album of just instrumental bass jams with these guys.

[@unfinishedworship3173]

I got my daughter a Dark Night American Professional II P-Bass with a rosewood fretboard and she loves it! Only thing I didn’t care for is that the tone knob doesn’t have a “click” at 50%.

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Great playing guys ,Holy cow ! Can we get a video of "Rig rundowns" from both you guys ? ...of Personally owned basses and amps etc . Thanks

[@garywhitehead4160]

Took the plunge and bought the rosewood neck jazz in “Miami Blue” and soooo glad I did!! Always had MIM’s in the past, but as good as they were these basses are the next level with build quality and tone… cheers guys

[@Sandstroem82]

Did the same thing last week, went from MiM p-bas to a Pro II. The difference is mind blowing, the Pro is amazing

[@trenken]

How are you liking it? Im considering one. I wanted to do a mod shop jazz but i can’t justify spending 2.2k on a bass i cant even get block inlays on. If i cant get them on a custom bass which is ridiculous, ill pay less for a pro 2 with dots.

[@garywhitehead4160]

The pro 2 I bought is still as goid as the day I bought it.. numerous string changes and a lemon oil clean on the fretboard, the dual truss rod is clearly a winner as minimal neck adjustments needed. But as for the colour... didn't think I'd change from my stock black/sunburst but sooo glad I did!! Best £1600 I've spent

[@paulorr7471]

I just picked up the Precision bass and the sustain is incredible. The low E is really deep. Just put 105 flat wounds on it. Can’t wait to try those at practice

[@Leomusicalheart]

Omg! 12:25 this is what made me want to purchase a P bass, this guy has such a passion to play the p bass! Awesome! 😃 🙌🏼

[@thaddeusfields4360]

That’s the exact model my daughter plays. The dark night burst is unique and beautiful!

[@stormsa-coming4315]

Man, that jam at the end was AWESOME!

[@grizelda4526]

Awesome! First a Julia video now All about the bass! Great morning already

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@sallopiccolo7336]

EPIC jams at beginning and end.

[@joedupay5253]

Came here while researching the professional ii P bass for purchase, now I just want to buy whatever album you guys put out, take my blank check. That outro 🔥

[@AllanGildea]

That play-out was fantastic. Cheers guys!

[@BlueCollarRay]

Absolute killer Altro jam guys. Really enjoy your stuff. Blessings from the US

[@StillWeRide]

So glad to see Lee back on the bass videos. I missed those jams

[@indelebi]

That Outro should be the All about the Bass anthem!

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

Can you open an Andertons in the U.S. ? We would welcome it. Get the old , overpriced guitar centers gone

[@lorcanfitzpatrick6019]

Theres only one in the UK so if they did I better be getting in ireland

[@middle_pickup]

​@@lorcanfitzpatrick6019 Andertons, I'd personally love it if you came in all second wave British Invasion style, but it's for your own good that you don't. Economically speaking, as a business you're better off that us. You don't want to fool with our messed up economy and business standards! haha

[@cabbycabby1770]

GC overpriced? I think their knowledge and customer service is the worst, but they are anything but overpriced. And how would a single Andertons store in the states be competitive?

[@panych3198]

Thank you for great video and review as usual. Sorry for my sarcasm, but I think “professional” means that the owner should be very good in setting up of bass and fixing of the other common issues attributed to poor QC… I have recently bought a brand new Fender pro ii jazz bass from a quite well-known distributor and was really negatively surprised that the bass had two dead spots, one on E string and the other on A. I was even more surprised when after my intention to replace the bass I was told that a dead spot is “a physical fact and no defect…”

[@CosmicHippopotamus]

Texas tea needs to be a standard color option, they are killing us here.

[@mahdisharegh7220]

The Outro was Epic!

[@engineer6250]

Giving it a like, just for the sake of the outro.

[@bijouxmusic]

Wow! They have been making jazz basses since 1960 and they are still improving!!! 🤪

[@irishdog79]

Loved the Primus-esque jam at the end!

[@rickrolli7091]

The name of the "bugger" is Emerald Ash Borer. I got to complement you on your guys "P bass jam". That was f-ing cool. Cheers mates. Can't wait to see your next video with the 5 string.

[@samlelowitch]

Do these basses feature rolled fingerboard edges as well? It seems like that would be a nice comfort feature.

[@robertsands5837]

They do!

[@paulaustin7043]

Superb stuff Nathan and Lee as always ... apart from playing that funky stuff nearer the bridge, would be great to hear what pick up selection / tones do you use on the opening clip ? Brilliant stuff - please keep it going !

[@naefbasile1677]

It is worth the $1800. I bought one, and the varied amount of alnico in the V-Mod pickups yields a rich sound that exceeds the range of the Standard Precision bass. It merits the Professional label that is on it. It’s the Precision ll Professional. Spend the $1800. It is worth the higher price.

[@thiagodeandradeneves4585]

Those guys do the best bass reviews right here. And they can make those babies sing!

[@optiTHOMAS]

Brilliant! Beautiful instruments! That sunbust jazz bass is just glorious! Nothing will beat that for me! 😎🥹👍🏻 great stuff! Sick jams!

[@fozterfossworth8276]

Got a pro I P bass. The pro II is great, but would not be enough to make me purchase one over what I've got. I'd save for a custom shop.

[@LuthorKilljoy]

Just bought my dark knight love it!!!

[@psihopatrik7159]

Love watching these videos, even though I don't play bass I like to see what's new in the music world. Recently I've got my eyes on the beautiful Godin Session HT and was wondering if there is a plan on you doing a demonstration on it? Always loved the Godin guitars I own S6 myself but I'm brand new in electric guitar world so I would love to see you do a video on it. Anyways, great video keep it up!

[@ryannichols6200]

Awesome review and love the tones. Amazing jam at the end. I'm just trying to improve my music theory. Is that jam at the end based around an E major pentatonic?

[@armp1287]

Loved the outro jam

[@ColdPie]

They took down all the trees in our neighborhood here in St Paul, Minnesota a few years back. All Ash, all dead or dying from the borer.

[@warrenbutler7747]

Another great video guys love it!! 👍🙂

[@corytrevor9180]

That end jam was 🔥🔥🔥

[@electrolabile]

Love the jam at the end of the video. GREAT

[@Killadey]

Suggestion for blindfold episode. Someone plays different guitars, but they're unplugged! See if someone can identify the guitars acoustically.

[@rockandrollisyourmom]

Can't wait for the super duper ultra with another knob and for only $1200 more!

[@meatrocket1]

Can you mention the weight in your bass videos? Thanks great demo.

[@Mephilis78]

Why is every Anderson's video pure gold? I don't understand It's like these people would all be rockstars if the music industry hadn't crashed.

[@Thisisswanbon]

When people ask my who my playing influences are (which is never) I say Lee from Andertons.

[@horrorshowbass]

09:52, no truer words ever spoken

[@McDoinky]

i think the p bass gray and blue finishes would look better with white pickguards the white jazz sounded sweet as hell btw

[@jasonmartin5154]

I play "Elite" series jazz And " Hot Rod P" might check these out if I decide to re up!! ❤️❤️

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Like the maple on sunburst quite snappy sound

[@RodTankersonMusicAndVoice]

American Professional II Jazz Bass vs. American Ultra Jazz Bass I would like to hear the difference before purchasing

[@RodTankersonMusicAndVoice]

is the active E.Q. the main difference?

[@gearforest9746]

Great sound and playing!

[@λιμινιλ]

Thea new Ps are amazing

[@fredd6652]

I'm lefty and not vegan :D Cheers from France, thank you it's always awesome !

[@nicolasbelanger489]

What’s the black pedal your using for the beat or the loop ?

[@honeybadger1810]

These are so meaty sounding for some reason damn!

[@nicolasbrunelle2189]

I wish they did the mercury the same pickguard pattern of the antigua....

[@rondeakin8876]

Brilliant ! as always,and thats from a guitar player !

[@MultiOutdoorman]

MARK KING eat your heart out ..Lil Bruv is all over it mate !

[@brucepiland]

I don’t need another p bass. Dark Knight? Damn.

[@shannonwade9933]

So, which one were pine?

[@ЕвгенийПотапов-л9я]

Fantastic color🔥🔥🔥

[@hamishsummers8585]

Man, that silver P is pretty!

[@naylor2006]

God Lee is such a king!

[@bassicvegan]

Really showcasing these basses! Fender making some really nice stuff consistently nowadays! Shame at my budget the Sire v7 vintage (alder with maple) still was the obvious choice, backed up by the tone which i think stands up against fender's professional stuff.

[@charliedavis1912]

The “Dusty End”.😂

[@BrainChildMutations]

Great video! I got the Am Pro II jazz in Dark Night last week. I love it! Quick unboxing video on my page

[@rodneylee4026]

I'm preferring the P sound for whatever reason.

[@olliecohen709]

Awesome!!!!❤️

[@american-professor]

Are you kidding me with this intro jam?

[@40spinup]

Does Anderson’s have a plant based bass section in store for us veggie/vegans?

[@clausmadsen6754]

Surpassed is the word you’re looking for

[@felixguitar1108]

Outro jam at the beginning?

[@cd2936]

Can we get sounds like Laurie Vincent/SLAVES. Matt takes the bass side of things and Rabir does the guitar or vice versa

[@alfieharries]

Can confirm; they sound like jazz basses.

[@busterrabbit]

Surely you're not falling for Fender marketing speak, they use Pine because it's cheap!

[@NiftenStarblazeDev]

What bass line is being played at 8:57?

[@eliasvalgeirsson5610]

It's a synth bassline from Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon".

[@spqr369]

The P Bass has more meat to the sound.

[@Bobby_Uterus]

Ash die back is caused by a fungus is it not?

[@MrBazzabumble]

When are you going to look again at 5 string basses for less than £500

[@YourFavouriteColor]

hey you maniacs, when one of you is soloing, the other is OVERPLAYING. CALM down and wait your turn, gentlemen! XD

[@quinnmitchel4075]

There are other people that work there?😮

[@mark240862]

You do make laugh out loud every time I watch you both. Your clearly both very good... but you do look like your constipated and squeezing out something way to large when your playing. ☺️

[@upgeek1]

No Slap!

[@Mark_Ocain]

I'm calling the police LOL

[@Airhead4321]

they've surpassed* themselves

[@pietrozaffutomusic]

Fender Rulez

[@JesseClaus]

What is that word??? Surpassed?

[@kickinkanga7026]

There is not much difference in the professional 1 and professional 2 Other than the price. It don't take 2 professionals to figure that out.

[@cabbycabby1770]

Fender prices are quickly approaching what I would call silly. It’s a nice bass, but these are churned out by CNC en masse. I love Fender but I just don’t see $1600 worth of instrument here.And the prices y’all are paying in the UK? Craziness.

[@贾霹雳-p3q]

[@daniva]

i sense a little tension between this guys jajaja

[@joekao192]

This video is great, but I won’t buy the bass from the sound I heard!

[@ChezzOnBass]

There's nothing left to do to this 70 plus year old invention. Why the new models?!

[@mrbungle7586]

Agree it's just rehashing the same thing with slight tweaks. Nothing really innovating, mainly just promoting a great old bass for sales and promotion by calling them different names, keeping the brand out there in the spot light.
