That funk got serious at 9:45 of the video.. now with that being said I've bought 2 of these joints already because when I do my gigs on the beach I don't want to take out my real Xotic 5, Sadowsky Metroline Express, nor my Fender Ultra 5/ real 74 Jazz Bass.. As for these I have the 5 string Purple Heart Ying Yang and the James Genius copy of his 1991 Monarch which I switch the pickups and electronics out with some Batolini J's I had laying around and a old glockenlang 2 band preamp and it sounds really damn good.. As for the Ying Yang electronics I replaced it with a used Ernie Ball preamp that I got of ebay and added some shielding and left the stock pickups in it because they sound really nice as you're demonstrating them now. both are played through the Gen 1 Aguilar TH500 and 2x12 Bergatino cabinet.. I have 0 complaints with these Chinese Joints ,,

Hey, Johnny. Thanks for your videos. I have discovered something from you and others: To cover the basics. It can't be overemphasized! You hit on much stuff that beginners need to know! Square biz! I'm m 62, and I'm a amateur bassist, but I know how to throw down! Keeping it simple is our jobs as bassists . Even today, II'm still learning. To my fellow musicians let me say this to you: You are the supporting cast! Get it and recognize it. That's what bass is supposed to do! When it's time for you to flash, your moment will come. Be patient, and practice your craft. You'll do fine. Peace out bassists.

You's a fool homey! But I like your playin, and I like the way that bass sounds. You could have given us the exact price tag but, that's okay we can research it. I definitely plan to purchase the 5-string model this Christmas. I do a lot of funk but, I also am hired to play many other styles, I'm hoping that it can give me a nice mid-range jazzy sound as well as a low less-defined tonal rumble for my rock and church gigs. Keep up the good work home flava! Your bass brother -Larreeex
