Totally agree on the Aerodyne... used to see them all the time on craigslist for $650- $750 and they totally rock. The exports with the binding and no pickguard look so sick plus immaculate japanese fit and finish as always. A kick-ass "pro" bass to be sure.

To me the Geddy Lee mij jazz bass is one of the best 1k ish basses I have ever played and punches way above 1k

[@MikeGuerr]

Totally agree, this has been my #1 for about 15 years. 👍🏻

Last week I bought a 2020 fender american standard as body natural finish for $900, the only thing I don't like is the poly finish. Great list thank you

[@genocreese4350]

My first jazz bass was/is a domestic Japan jb-62 in “ us gunmetal blue”. Kind of a mix between lake placid blue and Inca silver. Totally agree they are incredible basses. Great video, love the hidden gem content

[@alexdenton6586]

Always buy Japanese , it’s simple

[@aflashfloodofgear]

You really can't beat it, especially for the price!

They’re great, but always buy Japanese and you’ll miss out on great American made guitars.

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

I always buy MIA and MIM Fenders Never Japanese it's a marketing con

[@LucasJRice]

It’s not, they are great. I can’t imagine what marketing con it could be anyway considering Fender refuses to sell anything good from Japan in America.

JP Aerodyne P Bass is what I’m talking about… if you can find one.

[@themutebassplayer]

Cool basses

[@clausm2203]

Sire basses are great too

[@nimblybimbly4002]

When you’re buying vintage guitars do you ask about truss rod functionality? I’m looking at a local listing for an ‘87 LP Junior and it’s got a good setup but the owner doesn’t know if the truss rod works. I’m thinking about risking it.

A Squier bass with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders sounds phenomenal

[@chrishansen-crowley3287]

I like the Epiphone Thunderbird’64. Not for everyone sound-wise or anyone that can’t handle neck dive, but a great bang for the buck.

[@Smart-Alex]

What do you think of the new Player II basses? Mexican made but I’ve always found the quality to be great.

[@jamieelder7438]

Please come to Athens Georgia and check out classic city guitars. Dylan is awesome and he has awesome vintage guitars and basses

[@bertilbroddeus7659]

No Sire ????? WTF

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@bertilbroddeus7659 I back Sire! I enjoy the few I’ve played

My fellow Young bass players, don’t get fender’s , they play and sound crummy, get MUSIC MAN , YAMAHA, or WARWICK, save your money , work overtime , you will love them. Fender basses and guitars have a FARTY tone and Playability to them, this guy is just trying to sell you his stuff.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I think enough players have made great music with Fender guitars and basses to prove that's not a very accurate sentiment. Also, we happily stock plenty of Yamaha and Musicman instruments at the shop, so that's a stretch. We stock the stuff I enjoy, so yes I am going to put effort into having items I would recommend in our inventory.

[@LucasJRice]

You dont know what you’re talking about. Chances are you have a farty amp. I mostly play Fenders and they all sound great, but I don’t buy anything cheap. Almost everything sounds good through my heritage SVT and 810

[@charlie00]

Fender basses are great, I don’t know which ones you’re playing
