1980 Fender Jazz Bass

The Great Bobby Vega plays a Fender 1980 Jazz Bass!

[@sullyb23511]

Dude, I forgot how BRIGHT Chrome flats sound!! I had a set of those before, and everybody was amazed that they were flats when they heard them being played.

[@McDoinky]

I tried GHS, La Bella, Fender, Thomastik… Chromes are the best

[@fcgeil]

I could listen to Bobby play all day long!

[@donnix6931]

Bobby is a great player , I love his appreciation for the vintage fender instruments. Pre or post CBS transition ,Bobby knows how many amazing records were cut with fender precision and jazz bass guitars. Down to earth guy and just a treat to listen when he is laying down a groove.

[@thefool2007]

Bass sounds heavenly and that playing is ear candy.

[@x.xjustdoitfoolx.x2774]

I'm deeply in love with this bass. All the way to the tone and to the look!

[@chrisashby9307]

Damn. I need to practice.

[@maxbernuzzi7390]

Dear Bobby. You are the poet of bass guitars. Chapeau Maestro

[@tonester1572]

what I love about bobby is how he gets the most sound out of his bass and articulates it,hes a genius! I have an 80 jazz and it seems like on those years they had weak sounding pick ups.or I should say ive owned 2 of them and pick ups were real mellow.

[@bak1386]

I love that funky pick playing... damn! Like no other. That groove is contagious as a cold. Bobby is so underrated it makes me sick

[@serpiente3718]

Man, best intro i've ever seen

[@ctaesque]

Bobby, you can REALLY catch a groove. LOVE you videos, man.

[@lesterfalcon1350]

He's such a big kid. Massive smile on my face watching him caress notes out of that, flip and groove and back again.

[@msildigitalrage]

Amazing!

[@doomkeeper67]

what a sweet sweet sound! in love from the first note!

[@thefool2007]

Man- that was some excellent playing. Loved the different techniques and the on the fly pickup volume changes!

[@usedinpublic]

His harmonic playing is amazing.

[@eightmileshigh6542]

Это гениально! Это невообразимо

[@trofonton]

Bobby + flats = great sound!))))

[@johndobbins1105]

Bobby Vega is a triple OG with the gangster lean. Every time I watch a Bobby Vega video I want to sell my bass.

[@Ross58]

Grande master 🙏

[@thewomble1509]

Officially the coolest bass player alive, he even makes a Tam o'Shanter look cool!

[@jlkenzo7551]

nice

[@michaelb.42112]

Bobby of Petaluma !

[@senhorspock]

Nice bass... Great grooves!

[@catboyzee]

Bobby Vega, badazz...

[@janneboman8573]

You know, when Bobby starts that rock'n motion with his body, you know the licks are about to happen

[@fabibass]

an absolute master

[@luvbasses5487]

You could give Bobby a stick and two strings and he’d get music out of it. He’s a national treasure.

[@36index]

I just don't understand it!? With that tone and style, he should have really been the go to man for producers, during the 70's and 80's..... I can only imagine that Lee Oskar is glad that he, used Bobby on sessions.

[@PerezBroz-p5o]

2:40 is where it gets real

[@mattseymour8637]

Nice playing and nice bass. I love the jazz bass more than P bass. They are great for a funk fest!

[@atheistasylum]

Bobby is bad!

[@exhainca]

Great player - not a great sounding bass. Sounds like cardboard.

[@exhainca]

​@efe berkay köroğlu Yeah, I know what you mean. Don't knock your Cort PJ though. They are very nice basses. If you're looking to get a similar tone to what you described, you'll need to reduce the action to get a little bit of that funk buzz when playing harder and bring up your pickups towards the strings. From there it's rally about shaping your EQ - this bass is about high mids, so boost those and you might be able mimic the Fender sound. Also, notice how close to the bridge he plays, with a pick. That all adds to the tone you're hearing.
