My Bass Collection! [2020 Edition]

[@patrickhunter]

Even though I have 21 basses, the Sage Green Jazz will always be my #1, what's y'alls #1 bass? PS: Thank y'all for watching!🤘 PPS: A lot of y'all are asking about the headless Ibanez EHB1005MS that I demo'd earlier this year and it was unfortunately a loaner bass, but I'm planning on buying one once I sell a couple of these basses!

[@noahm]

Hey Patrick, I'm buying my first bass guitar after playing guitar for 12 years. Ever since I watched your EHX Freeze video featuring this bass, I've been wanting to have it too. You're literally the reason I have that pedal and now this bass too (well, they don't have the MIM edition where I am so I'm having to buy the Deluxe Active or Deluxe Active Precision) 😎

[@MrTeijo]

At the moment it's my DIY I built during lockdown. Could be the emotional price tag it has.

[@CantKillACowboyTX]

Mine was a Hamer Slammer 5... Had to pawn it due to hard times... Now using DjinnBass until I can afford an Ibanez or a used Dingwall. Then again, I'm a guitarist first, everything else second. XD #PickGang

[@billyjulesm]

I miss that D-roc 5

[@hectoreduardofuentealbapel7830]

I'll always remember My Fender FSR PBass 2009. I bought it used, with a '58 AVRI Pickup and Orange Drop. I needed a computer, so i had to sell it. At least now i'm Engieneer. I Will seek another one (or the same) to get it back

[@biplovegnyawali1952]

This man says "its going to the grave with me" like he's going there tomorrow like you'd visit Disneyland.

[@patrickhunter]

Shiiiiit, with the way our country's going right now, who knows😂😂😂

[@biplovegnyawali1952]

O_o didn't even realise that.

[@theamateurfurry4735]

Patrick Hunter with a collection like that, you could built a fort of bass and just live happily ever after playing bass lol. Nah for real tho I feel you. I’m super indecisive that for me I’ll probably need a separate casket for just my favorite instruments alone lol

[@russellzauner]

@@patrickhunter Hello from Portland Oregon, birthplace of Riot Tourism. Please come visit when you can for good food, drink, and campfire conversations. Things are going to be fine - be strong and resolute in what you know is right, be socially responsible, and this is actually going to end up better than people thought because honestly, I hold everyone that ever wished for all the stupid people to die responsible for the zeitgeist of *HELLO HUMANITY, WARMEST REGARDS, THE PLANET WITH A BIG HAMMER* 2020 has been because that's what's happening now that all the people at risk have cashed out the farm. Not to be depressing - I love my new fretless Heartfield DC-5 blueburst though. There's that...I mean, in Oregon the weed stores didn't even close, they just had curbside service for a while. That was surreal. Cops drive by and you're being handed weed in the parking lot and they don't bat an eye and the K-9 patrols show ZERO interest (to me, spinal damage, it's part of a quality of life management program, and legalizing in Oregon saved my health because people simply get busy dying when bedridden). I think the future is pretty good. Tons of great new music, kids all over the world are telling their local despots to piss up a rope and not backing off this time, we're not running out of medicine that I CONTROL any time soon (crops have been even better due to increased air quality from cars staying home), and the immortality shot is just around the corner (Ozzy sounds more coherent and legible than I've ever heard him and Iron Mike is communing with the Gods of War again...). I am not so disappointed, but I will would like the jetpack, too, please.

[@ifgwelf]

That Harley Benton Peavey Cirrus knockoff looks and sounds insane.

[@lucaslorenz8812]

I think it's more reminiscent of an Ibanez BTB, even down to the headstock shape.

[@blakegable3411]

Lucas Lorenz and a Rickenbacker 4003

[@Okerokeka]

@@lucaslorenz8812 it looks way more like a peavey cirrus than an Ibanez BTB. It's almost identical looking to the Peavey.

[@franklindelanoroosevelt9177]

After his Harley Benton Rickenbacker review that will be the next bass I purchase

[@pth0047]

Ha that’s funny. A bass player wearing an “...And Justice For All” shirt

[@lordundhimself1310]

That shirt says "The Bass Channel"

[@pth0047]

That’s a good point I didn’t even see that😂 still a funny choice of design though

[@lordundhimself1310]

@@pth0047 lol Indeed. They did bass covers of the entire album tho, and it was well received by us Bass Channel fans

[@rome8180]

The shirt says "And Bass for All." I think that's the entire point of it: that you can't hear the bass on that album.

[@frankperricone2065]

That is a pretty good one, on the album they basically turned down the bass and you can barely here it

[@erikalbertson7483]

I have 28 bass guitars. I know, I need more , right ? Probably my favorite is an early 80's Peavey foundation. I had one back in the mid eighties, and like a fool, I sold it. I found it's twin a few years ago, and bought it. I just love it !

[@AndBassForAll1]

28?!! You must have at least an entire room to store them!

[@cash_lovell]

I Have 4 - Fender MIM Jazz Bass (Olympic White with White Pickguard and Rosewood Fretboard with completely Stock Pickups and Hardware) - Sterling By Music Man Ray34 (Black With Black Pickguard and A Maple Fretboard, I haven’t changed anything but I filed down some of the body and gave it a kind of ashy color and put a Jason Vorhees sticker on the Pickguard) - Gibson/ Epiphone Thunderbird (I don’t know a lot about this bass but I had a Gibson Trust rod cover with Epiphone Neck plate and stamp on the back of the neck. It’s an Epiphone Custom Shop but I don’t know much other than that) - Rogue Viola Bass (I kinda Hate this bass, but it was my grandfathers and I “inherited” it when he passed on and I learned on it)

[@johnprice9699]

Nice Violent Femme's rip on the acoustic - keep up the good work!

[@javierfernandezmunoz6707]

20 minutes ago: I don't need more basses, Im ok. Watching the video: Damn, that HB BZ4000 sounds excellent! Let's check out Thomann's website....

[@marcoesposito8753]

Those fender j basses will always be my favourite of your basses.

[@judeau5320]

I wish Peavey would do a reissue of the T-40, finding them now for a reasonable price seems rarer and rarer as time goes on.

[@depressedfrogpenis]

Or someone like HB makes a cheaper version

[@firstnamelastname500]

I'd rather have an Ibanez atk than a t40

[@Sixtrea]

I keep looking everywhere and can't find it at all. I'm so sad about that. Maybe eastwood will do a reissue, one day.

[@michaelsimmons4816]

I feel you man

[@wolfiemueller9946]

There's one local in OKC for 400

[@DaxterZA]

Cool collection man! But your lack of 5 string basses is unsettling XD Please do the Ibanez SR505 Fishman Pickups video! My main bass is a Cort B5 with those same Bartolini pickups in it, and Ive also been looking at the Fishman pickups as replacements, would be great to see a comparison between the two \m/

[@_DrScream]

Man. You're my age, and I only have 2 basses. Been playing for 16 years, didn't have the need of 3-more basses. Congratulations, my man. Watching you since way back 🔥

[@alejandroaguirre6284]

Wow dude, really amazing collection and u have beautiful basses like that fender p bass in sunburst with gold pick ward, my favorite of ur collection

[@kevinqian3503]

For your P bass, I highly recommend the Aguilar AG 4P-60 pickup. I have it installed in my Mexican P and love it. Super clear, warm, vintage tone

[@BathtubBass]

So heart broken when you said you hated acoustic basses, I literally just bought one today, an Ibanez, and I love it! After years of blowing my hearing out, it's relaxing to play quietly, also, I travel for work, basically live in hotels, so the quiet acoustic is going to be perfect for the lonely hotel rooms!

[@_Nordfors]

Nice touch with the Femmes for your acoustic. Much appreciated.

[@MartinCliffe]

Always interesting to see others' collections. I accumulated 10 or so basses, but I've realised I really only play my Mike Lull M5s, so will certainly be selling / giving away 3 or 4 of mine.

[@patrickhunter]

Man, I've always wanted to try a Mike Lull! They have some absolutely beautiful instruments 🤤

[@ayurrrsupermario2684]

Wait selling or giving away, im thining of getting one, which ones.

[@ayurrrsupermario2684]

Hello

[@realgoodenergy5223]

[@TyRex-dr6sf]

Man I just subbed and am loving your content. Major shout out for playing Black Night! That's maaaaybe my favorite Deep Purple song!

[@SethMarcell]

Oooo, love the Bowie at the end.

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

That HB60 was impressive. Both of those MIM Fender Jazz basses looked and sounded great too. I'm usually a P-bass guy but becoming more and more convinced that Jazz might be the way to go. The sanded purple/blue has always been the best looking bass in your collection, imo.

[@manuelmoradielloscorpus5597]

Loved that you played Mr. Experience on that Ibanez Mikro, wasn't expected at all! I love your collection and how sincere you're about about falling out of love of some instruments and loving others despite some of their flaws, that's so relatable. I'm still looking for the one, my Warwick Corvette from 2000 has that punchy Warwick sound that's cool, but it's heavy as heck and its neck it's too monstrous for my hands, so I'll keep on looking for something more comfortable with that kind of sound. Great video as always Patrick, lots of love from Spain~

[@12mamcu123]

The video we’ve all been waiting for... Keep up the good work Patrick!

[@bmwolfe2786]

So you discovered HB was a thing... And was like... "Oh well now I can have all the basses." I had the exact same thought. Just ordered the stingray knock off

[@mladyavery9138]

If you've fell out of love with your Krist Novoselic then I'm interested in falling in love with it

[@EloiSioMichalski]

Hey, Patrick!! How yya doing? hope you're doing fine during such trying times. Man, congrats for such an amazing collection! I loved your Harley Benton ones, I wish they became more famous around here in Brazil, I'd love to own one of these. I have a Mexican Fender Jazz Bass and I just love it, it's going to the grave with me, alongside my Precision. My only two basses left from the small collection I've owned a few years back. I thought I was going to see the scorpion bass here! LOL Love your content, Patrick! It really inspires me as a youtuber and bass player! Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work!

[@arist4264]

Cool guy, cool basses but the coolest was the Mr Experience snippet at 18:28

[@bassmanjoe83]

Dude, your channel rocks! Your Ray34 and trusty Jazz Bass are my favorites. Keep up the stellar reviews!

[@paulxaviercyr]

I have an 82 Fender P bass that I repainted metallic emerald green and metal flake in Candy's clear. Used automotive paint because that's the world I work in. Golden age pots, my own heavy gauge wiring and a Seymour Duncan QP P-pick up. "Going to the grave with me."

[@lorenavera877]

I didn't know those Harley Benton basses, I'm really impressed! Thank u so much

[@mylesberman1639]

for the rick mod project, whichever one you use, you should do the cliff burton thing where you have a mudbucker in the neck, a duncan hotstack in the bridge, and a strat style single coil where the bridge mute is supposed to be (activated by push-pull pot)

[@boomerbassmeme]

Now I don't feel so bad about having 9 basses and 15 guitars! LOL Hamer Cruise still my #1 though! Just love the feel and play of it!

[@redrider5118]

I would love to see an up-to-date video of the peavey t-40 secret tones and sounds

[@BanBanChi]

I have one of those Ibanez Mikro bases and I love it! I only gig on bass once a month, my main gig is on drums, so it's my primary bass. The combination of ease to play, portability, weight and how cheap it was were a winner for me.

[@joshbeast8599]

[@alexefors1068]

Man excellent video! Fun to watch! Some of the tunes in your videos are super nice

[@daltons30]

Woah, Blister in the Sun! A timely tune to play during this heat wave :)

[@conorbelvin9024]

Nick Scout used to be my neighbor, and he's the guy that got me into wanting to be a guitar tech! If any of you guys haven't seen any of his work, check his Instagram out; and if you need any repair work done, he is the guy to do it. My #1 was my P bass that Nick actually helped me put together, but then the neck picked up a twist that I haven't bee able to afford to repair, so the weight has fallen on my janky jazz bass copy. It has only one pickup, a DiMarzio Will Power, and I plan on filling in the bridge cavity, and repaint it all black. It isn't the best bass in the world, but she works for me, that's what matters.

[@killiancuddy7791]

I want a krist noveselic rd so bad. Those basses look beautiful to me and also how simple they are like oh baby. Also loved the video keep it up

[@grantkoeller8911]

Dude you have a lot of great basses!!!!!!They all sound great!!! I really liked the 335 F hole hollowbody tone wise!!

[@monstrosite4794]

Happy belated birthday Patrick. Love your videos, you are an amazing player. Cheers.

[@war590]

Awesome video, Patrick. It would be cool to see the Fishman's on the Ibanez SR505. I bought my first bass off craiglist too XD... but I was 24 years old (Fender Squier Precision PJ Sunburst).

[@clausvonberg2088]

Hi , very nice entertaining video. Like you i am addicted to everything that ha to do with basses. I am amused how great these low budget Harley Bentons sound just great.

[@terrenceduncanson2716]

Thanks for showcasing the Glarry. I'm considering that for future purchase.

[@woot1404]

Cool collection. Loved the Gibson Ripper 2 and the HB BZ4000. You actually got me really interested in Harley Benton and their recreations. May be pulling the trigger on something from HB soon, myself. Thanks for the collection update.

[@richsackett3423]

Not fair. I wasn't going to click but you were waving around a Peavey Grind in the thumbnail. My MIV Grind 5 is a work of astonishing craftsmanship. Second-to-last bass I'd sell. Very Mike Dirnt on your MIM P Bass.

[@ericpurvis2262]

He popped and broke the G string cause he was slapping the A too hard heh heh I'll see myself out..... hahahaha

[@WilliamMoscato-jw4hx]

[@J4K3exe]

I CANT WAIT TO HEAR WHAT THE FISHMANS SOUND LIKE IN THE 505. Ive been playing a 505 for about two years now and I personally love how it plays, but I do agree that the pickups could use a replacement. Maybe I'll get some fluences in mine depending on what it sounds like. Great Video!

[@lakselv3768]

I have a feeling you're gonna regret selling that RD bass, my friend!

Don't tell him that! I'm buying it.

[@harry_mair]

[@GtwoManila]

Love your collection man! I like the Dingwall NG2 and Fender MIM P-Bass the best, killer tones.

[@hunterhelfrich1270]

That Ripper is my favorite, I'm a HUGE fan of the G basses from Gibson, you should try out a G3, they have the most unique tone out of all the Gibson basses I've tried

[@EsharpGflat]

A few of those Harley Bentons are super sick! Really impressed and want to try them out!

[@TomBaddley]

Great video. I'm a middle aged guy who's just now beginning to learn bass after years of failing on guitar. I've been playing the crap out of an old '80s short scale I picked up at a pawn shop for $50. Waiting on my Glarry GIB to show up Monday (it's in transit from CA now). Figure I can play/learn/mod like crazy on it, then add better ones to my collection as I improve. Enjoyed the tour of your collection.

[@esposoman]

Man.. I feel guilty for having 5 basses... 😅

[@bassworship50]

Yeah, I thought I had a sickness with 9...

[@christinamichelle8790]

I have that same sterling ray 34 and I absolutely love it. Great vid (envious of that bass collection 😬)

Love the grabber and ripper and t-40, had a 81’ grabber g-3 with the 3 single coil pups. The one that got away 😢 thanks for sharing the collection 👍🏼

[@WattchomanBrandySavage]

Looks like we both went through the same thing with the Gibson Krist Novoselic RD bass. Only difference is I parted ways with mine after about a month, just wasn't cutting it. :'( Favorite bass has to be my F bass BN 5. all custom made to order here in Canada, OH MY GOD do they ever sing.

[@nj0rdin]

If i had to pick my favorite bass, no question it'd be my MIM Pbass in candy apple red, the thing is stunning. I put an Aguilar 60p in it, and if you want vintage pbass tones, its hard to find a better sounding pickup

[@jupiterjames-reynolds2260]

Yeah i got a mim p bass and it is just so good. Simple sound but is so generic you can shape it to any sound with an eq.

[@nj0rdin]

@@jupiterjames-reynolds2260 oh yea, the pbass can give you maybe 4 or 5 sounds, but you can do literally anything with those sounds; plus all of then are just classic sounds

[@danielbrunner7730]

I started playing in November and I just bought my 4th! I thought I had a we bit of a problem! LoL I actually only kept 3 of the 4. My first was a squier P bass with pj pickups, then I bought an Ibanez grs200 or whatever it's called... For some reason it never truly felt right, then I bought my Japanese Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass with pj pickups and my latest editLasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"ion is my Jackson CBxnt concert bass ! I had no intention of buying either one but I literally instantly fel in love with them! Not only that I got the Jackson for $369 instead of the $749 it's listed for! To me it was a no brainer. I can easily see how you end up with 21 basses at 26 years of age. The more you are around them the more and better deals you are around so it can become a buying a merry go round! I've also had 3 different amps as well!

Hi, Patrick! I'm a new subscriber. Yeah, your sage green is divine! I love the sound. I'm going to dig through your other videos and see if you have any demos with it, tinkering with settings, and running through some pedals. I share your love of Harley Benton, especially bang for the buck. Those are some of your best sounding basses, including the TB70. Your Fender P Bass sounds amazing. While I feel you should build a shrine to worship your sage green, I have to admit that the axe I envy you for the most is that Dingwall NG2 multi scale. I would love to have the 5-string in Lamborghini Orange!!!

[@perryborn2777]

I have 5 basses rn. My first is a Hohner Acoustic/Electric. Love that thing. Second is an active Squire Jazz with soap bar pickups. Love that thing, but it's ridiculously heavy. Probably one of the most comfortable necks I've played though. I have a Kramer Striker that I picked up in a pawn shop. It has... issues. It is my only bass with precision p-ups though so it's worth keeping around for the moment. Then there's my Glarry 5 string J copy. It's alright. Nice to have a 5 string around, and it looks gorgeous. can't say much else about it though honestly. And just two days ago I was given a bass made by my best friend's dad. Body is made of plywood, but it's been painted a real nice orange. Whatever neck he put on that thing is the most comfortable neck I've ever played on, and the knockoff Stingray pickup sounds really really good. Only has a volume knob, but what more do you need? Oh yeah and it looks like a telecaster with a stingray pickguard. Super weird, and I fucking love it

[@MuhaSore]

My #1 bass is my epiphone thunderbird haha! At least it's white! Love the sound and feel of it. Best neck I ever played on.

[@carpediemarts705]

My solution to Gibson neck dive would be to fabricate a steel top horn for tge strap and bolt it on. If my left shoulder is too messed up for the extra reach and the weight of the neck dive, build a nice playing instrument out of the nice deep bass sounding instrument it started out as.

The Harley Benton RB414 and the BZ4000 are two of the nicest-sounding basses in the bunch, IMO. Considering Glarry's price, it totally gets an honorable mention, but it has a weird, cheap "clack" when you open-hand slap it.

[@1okanaganguy]
