"Otherwise it's stock" except the BIG HONKING P BASS PICKUP.

[@PtWhiteBelt]

Jimmy Earl is such a great and underrated bass player. Check out his work with MVP and Chick Corea. Just awesome.

[@jonbass61]

jimmys the man,was fortunate to study with him for several years in the boston area

[@giggs102]

and jeez that bassist is frigging awesome.

[@666JAXSON666]

I absolutely love Rig rundowns, i love seeing other peoples rigs and waht they use and the stories, so informative and definetely helps me choose what i look into buying next, keep it up premeir

[@RJRonquillo]

Yeah Toshi!

[@seanpkeegan]

Usually come across these rundown videos already after hours of pedal and gear demo videos, seeing her is like coming back to land from being on a desert island for years.

[@Markmoos]

9:00 - Great strings, they last forever. I change them every two weeks. :')

[@scottleeper]

good stuff. love the tone on those basses

[@BadChizzle]

Very nice work.

[@Jesterzero138]

That firebird looks gorgeous!

[@nickm.9474]

It probably has been mentioned before but the bass di is a Country man and the mic is a shure beta 98 condenser mic.

[@fullmetalfunk]

Really like that bass set up.

[@evalex71]

Toshi is an incredible player

[@PtWhiteBelt]

Mark Varney Project (MVP). Two albums were released, both with Jimmy on bass. Google it.

[@angusyoung7668]

This man actually has an Angus SG great job I wish I had one.

[@SacredRismakgaming]

"Just stock" is the most used phrase in this video

[@percivalcustodio9912]

Rebecca's an angel!

[@SixStringHarmonies]

Toshi gives some nice insight as to why one amp that may not work for one guy, in one application, and yet may be perfect for another. A bedroom player may try the AC20, and hate it's sound, yet if that same player was listening to a mixdown of himself in a band, the AC20, and BB+ would both be perfect. The guitar is a midrange instrument. Especially in a large band with Bass, and Horns, there is only a small frequency band which is free for your instrument to be heard clearly. Excellent rig.

[@fullmetalfunk]

Haha, hey when you're playing a show almost every night, 2 weeks is forever.

[@CBOrion21]

I see you have an amazing economy with words.....I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.....

[@giggs102]

Awesome! :) please rig rundown the Rival sons!!! :D

[@gimmeagig]

Wow, the setting on Jimmy's amp is pretty radical. He seems to have the mid scoop switch engaged and he also has the Hi Mids and the low mids dialed way back. How does he get any kind of punch and definition with that setting?

[@MR-hm5hw]

That tweeter cab is genius, might have to look into that.

[@91804893]

Rebecca, I love you! !!!

[@vinnie3]

for example, the reporter dind´t ask Jimmy about the Precision´s pickups on his Jazz bass,...I´d like to know about it...

[@herse83]

pleeease do a full rig rundown of jim root!!! stone sour is on tour rith now

[@BelchevKalin]

Jimmy Earl is awesome bassist! Check his albums!

[@TheRippoffs]

on the warwick when he says tapercore strings is basically the same as taperwound? or am i just an idiot xD

[@adamwebb241]

that red firebird is so cool

[@Happy-Me.]

He like his Gibson's!

[@MrBassmanDK]

And what's up with the maple neck with blocks? Clearly a neck from the seventies.

[@jacobkight5854]

MrBassmanDK I thought the same thing. Also the P-bass pickup in it. Definitely not stock.

[@CMSpida]

Please do a rig rundown on muse. Dunlop tried it but it was crap

[@Songwriter4God]

How so?

[@carloshenriquefermentao7793]

oh my God I want that firebird : (

[@TomAxl22]

800rb is the best you can play without going tube amp.. Love mine!

[@SeventhSalute]

Can you please get a recent rig rundown of John 5 now?? :D

[@adgo22]

That may be a '66 Jazz Bass body but that neck I'm pretty sure is an early 70's neck..Black block inlays, size/font of the logo and maple finger board don't line up with '66..just sayin'..also, why didn't Rebecca ask about the pickups..! ? Not sure they are original (black poles).. and what's the deal with the Pre set up btwn the J's..guess Jimmy also spaced out on talking about it..

[@coffeewaldo]

Thinking the same thing about the firebird one. Joe calls it the most expensive coca cola he ever bought. He saw it when he went to get a soda in nyc.

[@ramonaHQ]

Ha!!! That was an awkward ending!

[@Jasonweckard]

The Warwick is Siiiiiccccccckkkkkkkkk

[@Oneill240Si]

Morgan!!

[@TheJNMusic]

Wait a minute. That P-Bass J-Bass Pick-up combo was stock on that Jazz bass? Rebecca what happened there? I thought you asked the hard hitting questions.

[@Tylerjhanks]

How's he gonna not talk about that P bass pickup slapped on that 60's jazz bass?!?

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

He's got quite a few vintage Fenders, my guess is he bought it that way. It's definitely a unique mod on a unique bass. If he's correct in that it's a 66, which it looks like it is, it's the earliest maple cap fretboard I've ever seen on a Jazz bass.

[@gimmeagig]

+Tyler Hanks I just heard him talk about in another voutube video. It's not hooked up. He likes it because it makes a great thumb rest.

[@Jellestokhf]

+Carlo Von Sexron Looks like a 70's neck with the bindings and the blocks.. Body could very well be a 60's body tho. But hey, if it sounds it good it sounds good right ;) Would NEVER mess with a '66 jazz bass but that's just my $0.02.

[@namebrandmason]

He didn't replace the neck, and it was probably quickie repair job in the seventies. At that time it would have been an old bass. Easy repair was part of the idea behind the bolt neck.

[@EveningCrow]

My strap on my tele's the same as the one on his goldtop!

[@wesleycwagner]

Peel the stickers!

[@MusicStuffSome]

Yoshi :)

[@ლევანბურჭულაძე]

rig rundown linkin park please do the full rig rundown linkin park!!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!

[@bignic420]

courtney is a babe

[@HBSuccess]

"Rig Rundowns" are nuts and bolts gear only. What you want is something totally different - go buy a copy of Guitar Player or Rolling Stone if you want the backstory. Rebecca is absolutely on-target asking about everything from the guitar/ amp and pedalboard to cables, picks, strings, and every other possible incidental. She doesn't usually miss anything.

[@davidwantsahug]

13:08 Jack Nicholson?

[@vandenkevin]

Nothing wrong with stock guitars... :-)

[@NavySealWannabe67]

My bad.

[@stonedrocker666]

wood doesn't matter.

[@Jeepjones85]

Bass player is like super happy to show off his gear lol prolly cuz guitars normally get all the credit but bass is the real back bone of music

[@Kozmo260]

I have an idea it's "Overhauling My Rig Run Down". You come my place and overhaul my rig? And film it all etc. And companies get free commercial time for the gear they donate. How do you like my idea :)?

[@Kozmo260]

It's not for me but the other guitar player in my band. We can pretend to steal his amp & Pedal board ... :)

[@NavySealWannabe67]

MVP never worked with Jimmy Earl.

[@MuscleDad420]

That ain't no '66 Jazz Bass.

[@KONAROCK1]

my cat's name is Toshi.. but his rig rundown would be very short and unimpressive..

[@tMatt5M]

You don't

[@CharliePutz]

I love rig rundowns, but it would be so much better if a bunch of pertinent questions were prepared before the interviews. Something other than "what kind of strings or picks do you use" which seems like the fall back questions when the guy has nothing more to say. What about asking them maybe less gear oriented questions, how did they become musician, what is different when playing on a TV show (in that case)... Also, finding a better solution than the hand mic would be a plus =)

[@iagobroxado]

Bass player tried to advertise too much ugh.

[@NavySealWannabe67]

Irony *High Pitch Voice*

[@MattSynysterRx20]

rebecca dirks hot

[@Daniel-xu6kd]

shes creepily close to jimmy , awkard lol

[@johnnydollar8784]

Interviewer was boring but the over all interview wasnt bad .

[@NavySealWannabe67]

Google suck I use bing.

[@leovienne0607]

I LOVE YOU REBECCA!!! PLEASE!!! MARRY ME!!!

[@ChrisMusickx]

the bass player is so awkward lool

[@Songwriter4God]

Hear that kiddies? Don't scoop your mids. It kills your tone and you won't be heard on TV. Not to mention it just makes your sound suck anyway.

[@FlavioCastro81]

Akward ending...

[@yummyracc00n990803]

warwick basses sound so good.... but look so ugly :P

[@anderssvensson3894]

Lamest intro EVER !
