That bass tone is amazing.

[@JuankaTrujillo]

Thanks so much!!!

[@allanmacdonell5275]

I have one of these, but i can't play it like you ;) great video- thankyou very much for making this. There is surprisingly little info out there about the pots and switch positions. -al

[@etpslick100]

Boy THEY ARE HARD TO FIND! Those piezo bridges on the stingrays sounded great!

[@JuankaTrujillo]

Thanks so much!!! 🙌

[@RVCavelier]

Well this wonderfull bass is going to MontPellier France now. I just have a question Juanka: Do you have the story of the neck ?

[@joel_anderson_t]

What strings did you use? She plays like Pino Palladino’s fretless bass.

[@jaaz.handss]

d'addario flatwound

[@joel_anderson_t]

@@jaaz.handss I got a fretless-converted 5-string Squier Precision Bass from the Special Standard series. It has 2 Jazz Bass solid pickups. I'm using d'Addario semi-flat / half-round wound strings. I was able to get the fretless sound with some brightness included. When I loaded the B-string in, the sustain was weak. As I let time fly, the B-string started to have more sustain when I played it.

Bro I wish I can afford one! Unique sound

[@JuankaTrujillo]

You Will can! 💪

[@megabass1394]

Sounds very good! Would you say that you were maxed out on the amount of Mwah or Buzz that is possible? Was your action very low on this demo?

[@JuankaTrujillo]

Thanks so much! The action was very low but you it could be a little bit more and get a little bit more mwah sound.

[@klaymeister]

Man this is amazing

[@JuankaTrujillo]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Darkshine1]

What's the song that's playing the intro? That sounded really good.

[@JuankaTrujillo]

It´s an original tune that I did just for this demo, Thanks a lot!!!

[@Darkshine1]

@@JuankaTrujillo That lick stuck into my head since I heard it. I wish I was this good at composing, good job. Btw did you recorded it with the stingray of the video or another bass?

[@JuankaTrujillo]

@@Darkshine1 I´m glad that you like it!!! Yes, I recorded with the stingray of the video, connected direct to an interface Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 with Logic Pro X

[@adolpheddie]

Forgive my ignorance but who plays the neck and not the pickup?

[@JuankaTrujillo]

Its depend on the sound you are looking for, near the neck is more similar than a double bass, near the bridge is more "Pastorius" Sound

[@27Danie]

Geezer Butler may be a good name for you to look.

[@RVCavelier]

I got it :)

[@JuankaTrujillo]

I hope you are enjoying it a lot!!!!🙏🏼

Another video of a guy who didn't know what a fretless bass is

[@somepunkinthecomments471]

It is fretless, it just has markers.

[@jonnylpenman]

@@somepunkinthecomments471 that backfired lol

[@joel_anderson_t]

@@somepunkinthecomments471 Exactly, my first freltess bass is a FrankenSquier Jazz Bass, Indonesian-made. Originally, it was a 2011 Squier Affinity J-Bass. Then, I replaced the neck with a fretless neck part from a 2016 Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass, which I bought from on eBay in late 2017. It has inlaid markers, which you would describe as "lined". It still can give the fretless sound as long as you make the right adjustments.
