Video # 4 Very rough as the (old) camera and inexpensive Marshall Bass amp don’t do the Bass justice…but you can get an idea of the range of tones that it is capable of. I think I shook every picture on the wall and anything else not bolted down in the room. The Bass was plugged straight into the amp and I basically ran the amp “flat” with only a slight amount of mids pulled out. All the tonal changes you hear are coming from the controls on the bass. I’ll be very impressed if anyone can guess where the beginning bass riff is from…Here is a link to my current eBay auctions if you are interested… shop.ebay.com If you like what you hear, or are interested in any of my current or future used guitar offerings, subscribe…you’ll get a heads up on any guitar that I’ll be listing for sale on eBay as I post a video here first. Thanks for watching! -Howard

@TomorrowsRuins If u spend enough money to get a good fender then there is no lack in quality maybe some of the cheap ones lack in quality but ive never had problems with mt fender squire p-bass affinity series and thats about as cheap as it gets. i am not kiding myself and im not being close minded i like other bass brands too im just saying noone else can match a sound that a fender gives out i think u r the one kidding urself if u hate fender “bro”
one of my friends has a fretless les paul bass its gorgeous………..hes really crap at bass but hes a rich fucker so he can get really nice guitars and not play them right
STOP TEASING ME XD!!! I WANT IT SO BAD
@mitchthebeast1234567 Yo thats fine thats your opinion. My opinion of fender would be good if they still had a good quality control. Im sure theres no argument there. All they care about is money and pushing product thats not as good as the old days. Do you really think Fender makes the best basses? C mon dont kid your self bro..
@figger48 i hate it when people say they dont like fender, leo fender invented the bass guitar no one makes better basses then fender.
not bad. i still prefer the EB 0 bass. your bass would be ok for foreigner and other 70s stuff.
Yes…small…but yes.
do you own a music store?
nice bass i play bass in my band
@Maker of this video:This was awesome,the bass had a beautiful fat tone,and Music man is wonderful,Fender Jazz basses are pretty good,but Les Paul basses are beautiful.I have a Washburn.The sound is terrible >:(
I hear ya! And in my opinion, and I do like a lot of different basses in all sorts of different price ranges and depending on my mood of the day, variety is the spice of life! There is no one best bass…and no serious, experiencd musician could possibly feel that way.
I totally don’t agree with finger48, as a bassist with 11-year experience I can say that LP Gibson bass is absolutely killer and should be noticed by everybody who’s into warmer and fatter tone of the bass… Great sustain too. Especially I’d recommend these reissued models of 1993, with Bartolini electronix… Killer tone
They have made many different LP basses over the years…none of them are really going to be good for slapping…although of them this would have been the best choice…Me’shell Ndegeodello did a great job slapping on one of these. I almost wrote in one of my responses to you how an American Sterling was (one of) my favorite bass(es) for any amount of money…I also like a Warwick Thumb and a good Fender…and there are some amazing ones…slap was invented on a Fender. How’s your MIM unplugged?
cool. I didn’t know they made Les Paul bass. It was just weird. How does the slap sound on ir? I have a habit of judging the slap sound for a bass. For me it has to have a punch. You know what mean? I really dislike fender. Although I own a MIM P bass. Its a good bass, but dose not have that punch like my American Music Man Sterling,
Well I thought this sounded pretty good…and I think kind of opposite regarding the amp…a great amp (or really bass rig…head and speakers) will make just about any bass sound good but you can’t expect much out of most 100 watt or less bass amps. FWIW again, I never feel great about myself when I answer in a condescending way (sorry bro) and also, I don’t like most Les Paul basses myself (Archtops/different bridges and pickups), but this one was awesome…looked/played/sounded great!
Peace
Lol I like the way you think. I hope you feel better about your self. A good bass sounds good through any amp bro.
1) The “G” is always capitalized when referring to God.
2) This is one of my earliest demos…crap camera and small amp.
3) Sound is subjective to opinion. Opinions are like assholes…everybody has one.
4) Unless you have had an LP Deluxe bass in your hands (not just any Les Paul bass such as a Standard which is completely different), then your opinion really doesn’t count.
*) FWIW, I love MusicMan basses…they are one of my favorites but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate other basses.
oh god this is garbage. Les Paul bass? Cmon. It don’t even sound good. Music Man and Esp FTW
nice bass les paul love it im a bass player too
@ironmaidenluci666
Dont use guitar amps with bass guitars. the low frequencies will mess up the speaker. and the vibrations will eventually make the amp fall apart.
(the best bass amps are ampeg. marshall, and kustom.)
Buy a Bass amp as they are built to handle the bigger, longer, deeper strings which will blow your guitar amp & speakers up if you hit it hard…plenty of good deals out there on used bass amps…buy as many watts as you can afford…but even a small bass amp is better than playing it through your guitar amp. Thanks for watching & Merry Christmas!
i have a question, and please maybe you can help me:D. i want to buy a bass guitar, but i don’t know if my marshall amp (mg50dfx) which is working perfectly with my electrik guitar gonna work good also with the bass, or i should buy a special amp for the bass?
Gibsons are great for studio recording
nice looking
If it was in natural maple i would have got it
