How To Justify Your Next Bass | 10 Bass Shoot-Out

[@robertklein6693]

If you want to justify your new bass to your significant other, be prepared to lay out some serious dough for something that he/she desires.

It's simple, don't tell the wife. I fell in love with the tone of a Thunderbird.

[@ebassguitar]

Haha, got it! The Thunderbird's tone is irresistible. Enjoy!

[@BenD_Bass]

What about a piccolo Pbass? Lol I just got some piccolo bass strings, a blank nut and some new saddles and made a piccolo P. I love it lol

[@ebassguitar]

That sounds awesome! A piccolo P-bass is definitely unique. Enjoy your setup! Cheers!

[@thomasfioriglio]

Just picked up a Fender Am Pro II Precision and love it. I used to play a P bass years ago. I picked one up in my local guitar store and fell back in love. As for the other basses you demonstrated what caught my interest was the U Bass. I need to know more. Thanks for sharing!

[@ebassguitar]

My pleasure! Great share!

[@rogertinker1813]

Great video, I feel I have a ways to go , i have a precision and a hofner, love them both

[@laszloszaniszlo9662]

Got to have the Fender Jazz. Used to have a 1966 sunburst, a long time ago. Now I’ll get a Player 2. Thanks guys.

[@ebassguitar]

Sounds fantastic! :-)

[@rudik5598]

I want a rickenbaker!

[@ebassguitar]

Irresistible!

[@hectorgarza5842]

Great work guys! Awesome lesson I can not make a decision which of them is my favorite, so I am saving to buy them all. With one exception the double bass and it is because of space. Appreciated!

[@ebassguitar]

Thanks! Sounds like a solid plan. Enjoy building your collection!

[@rickporayko880]

I’m not worthy of it - I am an aspiring musician and specifically a student of bass, but I do badly want a Rickenbacker 4003. I have played an early 70’s 4001 that belongs to a friend, and I love the sound and the look. Nothing more beautiful.

[@ebassguitar]

Awesome! Rickenbacker 4003 is a beauty, indeed. Keep aspiring and you’ll get there! Cheers!

[@jimharrow8104]

I had to justify a Corvette... I think I'll be using my Fender jazz bass for a long time... 😊

[@ebassguitar]

Sounds like a solid choice! Enjoy playing! Cheers!

[@aminahmed2220]

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also Monday was my friends birthday

[@ebassguitar]

Happy birthday!

[@mikkoronkainen7729]

The one that paints my house, might walk in with Precision.

[@ebassguitar]

Precision in more ways than one!

[@geeklapin3659]

Une Jazz Basse avec des micros Noisless 😉

[@ebassguitar]

Good choice

[@lionelkirbyshire7683]

I wouldn't change my music, man, it's great.

[@ebassguitar]

Awesome! Stick with what works for you. Enjoy playing!

[@akinjarichards4067]

There are two you are missing. First is the 6 string. Think Gerald Veasley, Anthony Jackson, or Alain Caron name a few. Next is the PJ Bass, which is my go-to bass. It has both jazz and precision pickups. I also have a G&L 5 string with double humbucker pickups.

[@ebassguitar]

Great additions and fantastic choices! Your collection sounds impressive!

[@1234drums]

I'm taking note 😌😌😌😌

[@xavierreivax6248]

I'll go for the music man style but 5 strings

[@ebassguitar]

Great choice! Five strings open up so many possibilities. Enjoy!

[@r.l.rachel740]

Fender Holy Trinity ? You never gave the G&L CLF 1000 a shout out ! Why not ?

[@ebassguitar]

Undoubtedly great basses… it’s similar in many respects to the music man sting ray…

[@stevep3757]

I prefer my G&L SB-2 PJ Bass. G&L (George Fullerton & Leo Fender) was Leo Fender's forth and final design of the Bass Guitar ... #1 P Bass, #2 Jazz Bass, #3 Music Man, #4 G&L.

[@ebassguitar]

Great share! All the best!

[@graemerobertson5160]

TBH I don't feel the need to justify a bass. It's about getting one that best meets my needs. My current Yamaha passive basshas P and J Bass pickups, a 2 Octave neck and it is just the right weight. In that respect I don't feel the need to get something like a P bass which is heavier, has less range and less tonal options. If money was no object I might add a five stringer and a Double bass but I doubt I would make much use of them.

[@hijmestoffels5171]

The double bass is the coolest, but I will never master it. So my second bass would probably be a P-bass. I own a Stingray already, because Bernard Edwards is my favourite bass player.

[@ebassguitar]

The P-bass is a solid choice! Bernard Edwards is a legend.

[@Marchingforward8to5]

Would love to be able to play those walking bass lines on a double bass but don’t see one of those monsters in my house unless I had a much bigger house and budget!

[@ebassguitar]

I hear you! Walking bass lines are amazing. Maybe someday you'll have the space. Keep playing!

[@B0uff0s]

just trying to justify a simple 4 string passive P Bass. Maple fretboard, roasted neck, nat color, prob another Sire for affordability or a custom of some sort if i get fancy. Can't get myself to pull the trigger

[@ebassguitar]

That sounds like a beautiful setup! Take your time, and you'll make the right choice. Happy playing!

[@mikereed7887]

Realistically, all you need is a P Bass or a Jazz Bass

[@ebassguitar]

Need and want are always two different things ;-)

[@adammadtin8451]

Wife does what she’s fkn told !

[@ebassguitar]

Mine doesn’t
