[@Junior-wv9mk]

Vi no Aliexpress por uns 800 e pouco. Será que é tachado quando chegar aqui, na alfândega ou mesmo nos Correios?

[@danielusa998]

E aí doideira acho que vou comprar um

[@glauciochaves8414]

@@danielusa998 E ai! O Johnny customizou muita coisa, toca muito e tem um bom equipamento. Tenha em mente que o que vc comprar pode não ter o mesmo som! Mas se vc tiver a fim, não passe vontade!

[@aliciahope9464]

Loved this review! So helpful (as I have a Yin Yang bass on order - yay!) and super entertaining. 🙂

[@PraiseJesusOurKing]

Love your look and style!!

[@gregpruitt1647]

I love this video. I must say if this cheap base needs only a preamp, it might worth buying one. It looks pretty amazing. After changing the preamp, it sounds killer. Seriously, I may buy one.

[@todddixon5959]

Go. ahead Johnny. ! Like the rig. ! Both of them. The threads. And. the thump. Don't ever change. ! We need more like you. Peace be with you

[@makkitozea4245]

I really couldn't care less about how he looks , He's about knowledge, sharing it, and he is a Bad ass musician !!!!

[@Psalmist374DKR]

came for the china bass, stayed for the FUNK!!!!!! new subscriber, brother... WOW God gave you an AMAZING gift!

[@slockwood83]

Bro!! This bass sounds almost as good as your Lee/Marcus! Wow Johnny wow!

[@lawrencebyrdsong7570]

Just installed the tone monster three band preamp ( 5 pots ) in my Standard yin yang and it really brought out the mids And my switch is mid cut now I love this bass

[@edennard1]

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 ,,

[@chriswannamaker7930]

I don't comment on to many videos but Johnny-you hit it out of the park. I really enjoy your playing and your review. Thanks.

[@ljbythec]

Johnny Lee I love your videos and I love your playing. Both bring a smile to my face and I just want to say thanks!

[@arnlmndza]

let's make it happen no matter how cheap! that's how things work :)

[@joaniepeters2565]

Okay.. that sounds wayyy better than those metro express sadowskys.. and those sound completely awesome.

[@thescatman5029]

My speakers almost popped! That bottom is fire! That treble, alone, got more bottom than a lot of basses!

[@Nasute]

I look at these every time I go on Aliexpress. This sounds great. I have thought about getting one and if I didn't like the sound using my preamp pedals to shape it like I like it.

[@ignacioibanez6138]

Your tone and playing is way better than victor wooten, none need a overpriced junk to sound tasty, cool video!

[@mikeymike975]

Johnny, I love these videos! Keep em coming!

[@henryfreeman7748]

Nice bass sounds totally bossy, thanks for sharing it.

[@coolaxe-dw4840]

I like it, and you are a Baddddd Dude. Keep up the great work you are doing.

[@LONGCASTLE777]

Coolaxe- D W thanks

[@wallace_nelson]

I Love It!! Beautiful Bass. I know I'm late but thanks for sharing.

[@izzy4el]

Would you mind sharing what you spent altogether (on the axe before and after mods)? They really are great looking instruments Imo. Your vision for it is very impressive! =)

[@ericmiller5384]

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.

[@daveharris514]

I got two jazz basses on Aliexpress and they're GREAT. Not perfect but 1/20th of the price of a real jazz bass. Nice bass btw! 🙂 Sounds awesome.

[@BigWillieWillHom]

[@bink2315]

[@agy04022761]

FUNK IT UP, - dap dip dap da-din.Thanx. Can you please tell me what bridge & what tuners you choosed ? greets 'n'' rock on, Andreas

[@donaldbest7621]

Dam that bass sounds awesome!

[@seemorebutts3428]

God bless you bro, but what's the use of this video? You replaced everything. And if you had changed the preamp first, the other EMG's would have worked fine. They just don't work with Fodera preamp. The only thing left is China wood since you replaced everything.

[@davishalom]

Hello My Friend

[@Machito89]

Lookie hear j long prob one of my fav vids rt here I’m just starting out I’ve been a congero timbelro for 28 yrs but bass is the root lol u know rt on J long love your vids my brutha

[@PorchBass]

[@isorokudono]

That jacket is Beastly!

[@HasanWarrior]

I can listen to you play all day. Give me some pointers to reach your level. That bass sounds nasty! It’s great.

[@fairusetv2953]

Funk it. Just ordered one. Wish me luck.

[@danielmarquezdesousa6778]

Hello my friend , loved the video I’m just wondering if you could recommend some gold hardware the same or similar to yours as I order one of this bases and I like the gold look … thanks 🙏🏼

[@bens4295]

My Man Johnny L bringing the Funk! Yeah Baby!

[@BassMecca312]

Sounds Killer. All the work you did to that bass made it come alive. Can you specify what type of EMG PJ set up that is? I know you mentioned that when you put them in initially, that the sound wasn't great.

[@Diegindiegons]

Sounds great whit that upgrade damm it ! it rocks

[@johnnyzbass]

I just love your enthusiasm man.

[@tru3nz]

For a rep I love it

[@DaBassLadyCovers]

I visited this channel to learn more about Ali Express basses and to see a review of the bass, when he started playing I was making bass faces and enjoying the funk, I forgot why I came here! Love his style and energy!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

That gurl is SMMMOOOKKEENN!!!!! It sounds so sik!!!! How does it sound like that the tone monster? Them stock pickups right? What kind are they? Do you still own this bass?

[@bossM1ke..]

U got it on AliExpress is it?

[@aeiengineer2368]

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

[@fireemblemistrash75]

You look like a jazzy version of Willy Wonka who instead of bringing candy brings funk.

[@cruzr7]

Digging your spin on the bass joints... I do the same with JP/CHI Basses. I put all Aguilar pickups and preamp. My tone kills...

[@TheChadPad]

7:42 god DAYUM that's funky!!

[@wuzimusic7700]

The Chad Pad you ain't lying !!

[@uskeeze2131]

Goooooooooood damn bro. That’s sick. 🤘🏻

[@kennyjames2610]

I have picked up a couple guitars from aliexpress and after the upgrades it was all good .

[@groovinonfunk]

Ying!

[@WildWildWeasel]

Imagine playing the slap parts of "The Dark" on this thing, daaaamn!

[@guillereno2549]

Good video, good sound and beautiful bass. I would like to buy one. If you could tell me store where you bougth it. Grateful

[@norvillerodgersspeaks]

You should try sticking the chinese fodera copy pickups in a real fodera and see how it goes.

[@jonlennon3348]

Damn that thing sounds almost like a Geddy Lee bass. It has great top end and full bass is awesome. You do great work on everything you touch. Did you play that in church today?

[@LONGCASTLE777]

jon lennon hey him I did I took it apart for paint..lol...i think she will be AAAAAMAZING

[@Bass.Player]

Nice looking bass. I bought a Chinese bass a couple of years ago, the wood was really good everything else was junk. The fret work was the worst i have ever seen. I was one of the unlucky ones when it came to Chinese bass. I like your attitude, you made me laugh!

[@bigmac183]

Sha Ka Ka Kaaaa!!! Arizona in da houze!!!

[@drewrushlow1820]

It’s not cheap wood but it’s probably green. Builders like fodera season their woods for decades. Nothing will changed overtime because of that where the green wood will.

[@finegarlicpowder3872]

Dressed like Willy Wonka. 😂 I love it.

[@tperry5839]

My dude 🔥

[@user-nk4sl6qg3b]

Excuse me，sir. Can you tell me, where did you buy that please?

[@alexburton4113]

[@robertfranco8519]

[@terranceburgess9170]

Thank you

[@mgibson454]

Sounds downright nasty! Which tone monster pre did you use? Also do you mind linking bro the other mods you did maybe in the description?

[@massimomilano712]

Hi, thanks for all your videos, they are really helpful! Where can i buy a tonemonster preamp from?

[@taccarata]

Any suggestion to buy a china fake that's not a scam and where to buy it? Need a 6 string single cut

[@rpennon6912]

That ain't bad at all bruh!!

[@Demon-Knight]

We want the FUNK dude!

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

Nice review, thnx.

[@Solelova67]

Johnny I’ve been considering ordering a China Rickenbacker copy. Any suggestions on which buyer to consider

[@sosmooth7]

Please tell me where you got that hat! I'd really love to have a black one

[@Gerry926]

Great video. Can I ask, what is the string spacing at the bridge? 18 or 19mm? I can't seem to contact the company. Thanks.

[@elh3809]

cool, cool, cooooool

[@BioStuff415]

sounds like something might be out of phase in one of the pickups

[@daveydoodle1916]

It’s ugly to me but soundzzzzz so good

[@evanedwar]
