[@bartonpercival3216]

Are you kidding. How do you leave Cheap Trick's Tom Petersson off this list. His iconic 12 string bass rig and sound is truly revolutionary in the 70's when he came up with the idea

[@andrewpappas9311]

Holy crap, 10 years of Rig Rundowns? I’m honestly really impressed, those were what got me into the channel and have been loving each one y’all have done so here’s to another 10+ years

[@vince8081]

Verdine took bass lessons with the mighty Ron Carter ! Incredible.

[@seankent1807]

Thanks for giving bass players some love, guys! The Rig Rundown videos are always awesome!!

[@stealingtomorrowband]

I know that premier guitar is mainly guitar driven but thanks for showing the bass community a little love!!! I Enjoy rig rundowns and would love to see more bass oriented things...

[@RadityoPramAdi]

chillin' in Sunday morning in this come up.. thnks a lot guys!!!

[@benjaminmarquezmusic]

2:53 couldn't agree more, Verdine White is a huge influence on my playing, I learn how to play the bass listening to EWF, and I'm guitarist.

[@SlapMyBass3825]

I agree with Sheehan and Squire's basses as being the most iconic since the had one particular bass that they played and became synonymous with. But other icons i would have listed would have been Geddy Lee's J Bass, Lemmy's Ricky, and Jacos bass of doom to name some more iconic than most of these.

[@premierguitar]

This collection of instruments are strictly culled from the 500 Rig Rundowns during the last 12 years, but yes, those you mentioned are certainly iconic.

[@pawlpoche8736]

Doug wimbish was in Sugar Hill Gang? Damn that’s old school

[@jamestom2510]

Awesome vid !

[@jackbeardsall9597]

Yes premier guitar !! Bass Rundowns !!!!! 🤘

[@Killenmachine05]

Thank you.

[@Bobby_Uterus]

Perry! I've never seen your hair so tall, or your desk so wobbly! sweet vid!

[@bigtpulley2036]

Absolutely!

[@NoahBassman]

Very nice

[@billyrouse4813]

I play a Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. Stingray four string. It was Tim Commerford and John Deacon from Queen that prompted me to choose that. Killer tone. First active bass though. Still unsure if I like them.

[@dwaynecarroll6098]

Doug Wimblish is a treasure!

[@randalclarke5487]

Please, PLEASE do Richard Thompson soon!! One of his elctric and/ or acoustic rig would be great!!

[@letthesignalsfade]

Perry Bean rig rundown let’s go!

[@nelsonporter8387]

Verdine-Cool

[@andrewlehman1818]

Very cool how Roger Waters is Flea’s bass tech

[@markbass354]

way cool

[@KeeperOfPoops]

my favorites in this one were... Earth Wind and Fire (Verdine White) The Breeders (Josephine Wiggs) Duran Duran (John Taylor) Judas Priest (Ian Hill) Mr Big (Billy Sheehan) both the classic and modern ones were good to be honest Dinosaur Junior (Lou Barlow) Living Color (Doug Wimbish) like with the rig rundown of Billy, both the classic and modern rig rundowns were good tbh Yes (Chris Squire) Rest In Peace man! Rage Against The Machine (Tim Commerford)

[@tysersoden3085]

Is that normal that during Flea's segment i hear A Perfect Circle's Passive in background ?

[@ObraBass]

Most Iconic Basses with no P bass ???

[@learnmusic488]

Hope you’re Resting in Peace Chris!

[@joshuawhite2729]

What was that music in the background? I would like to hear more of it.

[@nickbadgio]

Doug Wimbish is so cool

[@fivestring65ify]

Wimbish is hilarious.

[@lethalbidz]

Verdine 'absolutely' White

[@ianrossmusic]

Wait... you cut the Chic bass out of the Duran Duran rundown in a list of iconic basses?! 🤦‍♂️

[@TimHorton69]

This video has no audio when played through a chrome cast device (tried 4 diff devices)

[@ritchtaylor3831]

Perry, You're getting the "Thumb's up" just for the Black Flag shirt before I even started watching. :)

[@cd0u50c9]

Apparently everyone came to Tim Commerford and said 'Hey....'

[@bartonpercival3216]

Not a bad rundown, but when speaking of truly iconic basses, how do you not feature Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick? The guy plays a friggin 12 string bass!!!!!! 👍

[@dwaynecarroll6098]

Sadowski basses must be the sh-t!

[@kennethanchan2567]

I only wish for a john deacon rig rundown.

[@floopusdoopus]

Haven’t seen a Hofner?

[@DenverStarkey]

How the hell do you have this list and NOT include Steve harris' bass. Iron maiden is after all the second most influential Metal band ever (after Black Sabbath). I mean i can see not having geezer butler on the list because he did not consistantly use just one "iconic" bass. But Steve harris' bass was iconic both in the 80's when he had it painted royal blue (it was originally white , and then painted black right before doing their first album) , and when he had it repainted in the early 90's to what it is now, ( white with, his soccer team's logo with faux binding in their colors)

[@geetarzzzz]

wig rundown

[@jefra6]

Ask Rinus Gerritsen (Golden Earring) of his Basses😀

[@pupperemeritus9189]

P bass if mainstream. Rickenbacker 4001 if niche.

[@nelsonporter8387]

This interviewer obviously doesn’t know Ron Carter

[@dwaynecarroll6098]

If you had to (or COULD) pick one of these basses?

[@dwaynecarroll6098]

I’ll take a Musicman Stingray HH

[@ZACKSONFIRE]

Nobody told that man that maybe his hair....

[@yumadapaka]

jaco strap

[@FunnyHaHa420]

No Bootsy Collins star base?! Blasphemy! (plus Les Claypoole's customs, Phil Lesh's quad output bass that could play each string through a different channel, etc... Many famous basses not mentioned.)

[@ileutur6863]

None of those have rug rundowns yet

[@FunnyHaHa420]

@@ileutur6863 Oooooh...rain-BOWS! I missed that part of the concept.

[@jhgust]

Flea. LMAO

[@meatrocket1]

Justin Chancellor?

[@KeeperOfPoops]

the problem with a Tool Rig Rundown is the fact Adam is very secretive about his gear, dunno about Justin

[@premierguitar]

This collection of instruments are strictly culled from the 500 Rig Rundowns during the last 12 years, but yes, Justin is certainly iconic.

[@darwinsaye]

Well, I confess that was a bit disappointing. No sounds, and no interesting basses other than Squire's and Sheehan's. Was hoping for something more uncommon and standout, like Hofners, Steinbergers, Hollowbody Kays, Marleauxs, Alembics, Pedullas...

[@galagatron5319]

Rig rundown should include the pedals too right? Wtf

[@electrolinks]

Bass player jokes.

[@daitos1955]

Rig rundowns? I only heard about bass guitar setups, what a bout the actual bass rig, you know, amps speakers, maybe pedals....that stuff. Maybe next time.

[@SombraPiloto]

Read the title of the video again. "Most Iconic BASSES". If you want to see the rest of the rigs just search each bassist's complete rig rundown.

[@daitos1955]

@@SombraPiloto ok, but also says "Rig Rundowns". Anyhow, it's not the end of the world. Not yet anyway...

[@Fuxerz]

Bass players are so boring 😂
