I spent £3000 on a Bass..didnt suit me really. I now own a fretted and fretless. Both sub £400. Really happy with both.????

Wow ???? who knew Scott could play? Lol. Brother, it was awesome. Love SBL
I’d just love a bass that doesn’t hum and hiss during a recording.
I've been gigging busily for 50 years. This is great. I have 3 NYC Sadowsky basses and a Fender Custom Shop bass. My favorite workhorse that I always use? A Fender Professional P-bass. But, I think that if you are a good player, then gear does matter because it makes you more comfortable playing, etc. But getting a high end bass will not automatically make you better. I've learned this from years of experience and Scott is delivering the info here in about 20 minutes. Thanks, Scott.
Scott I was made to believe its not the bass so much as it is the skill set of the musician. I was told you could play a Rougue bass sound really boss as with an artist on Squire or Fender. Finding your own voice is truly where the funk comes from…
You are absolutely right. Don't buy the bass you saw your fave bassist play, because you are never going to be him, and make the bass sound the exact same way. Any pink childish bass would sound nice if you know how to play it nicely. And the reverse is also true. Buy something cheap recommended by a musician in a music store for example, then train a lot until you get your impeccable sound, and then get another bass you will know what to expect of, because you are trained and so are your ears and fingers.
Corey stoll..
So true. Squier Classic Vibe series is so good and they are like $400.
Now I'm scared that I have bad wood..
Scott, you are one cool dude. I appreciate your channel more every day. Thanks.
I've got 5 bass guitars and they all sound the same to me, so I'm going to sell 4 of them and just keep the one I love most.
I really appreciate all of the lessons and tips you are providing. Especially this tip regarding not focusing on the wrong things. I am relatively a new bass player that is scrambling to garner the sufficient time to practice more so that I can polish my style and playing. I do get enamored with the different techniques you and the other guests have, but I understand from starting out on the piano that I have to grasp the fundamentals. Do you have a series of lessons that are a little slower in pace for the beginner? I want to elevate my playing but I also want my technique and fundamentals to be on point. I can play scales, but transitioning them to licks or lines and just flowing like you guys do is really where I would like to arrive. Any advice would be appreciated.
I broke the neck on one of my main touring 5 string basses. I sent it off to have the neck replaced. This meant a month missing an extra bass. I purchased a Squire 5 string Jazz just to get by. I set it up the same day I sent my broken one off to the factory. That squire was amazing. I still use the stock pickups and it's a permanent instrument in my arsenal. I've even recorded with it several times. Cost shouldn't be an issue.
High pitched 'Whoo', is always required 😀 .
I'm a gear whore, definitely. In the past I have used the promise of "When you reach this point you can have a new guitar" the trouble is once I get the new guitar I lose interest. So now I look and drool but don't allow myself to buy. It still works as a carrot.
So much good advice in this. Just because it's an expensive bass doesn't mean it's gonna sound better. By the same token, just because it's an expensive microphone, or piece of "acoustic foam", or set of strings, or drum kit, or acoustic guitar, or hell even a violin. It doesn't mean it's gonna sound better.
Thank you Scott! I'm glad I learned that lesson early in my bass career.
I got started 8 years ago with a $160 Squier 5 string Jazz Bass. It was perfect for me at the time: had decent tone, set up easy, felt good. A year later and I'm getting comfortable with the fretboard and gigging a little bit, and thinking shouldn't I be looking for a more "professional" bass? So I went over to Bass Northwest in Seattle (sure miss that place) and picked up a $6000 bass. Way beyond me price-wise, but I wanted to see the difference. I plugged it in and started futzing around and… it sounded not much different than my bass. What gives? Then the pro picked up my bass and my bass sounded amazing! Then he picked up the $6000 bass and, yeah, in his hands I could definitely tell the difference.
That told me that the Squier was perfect for where I was at. I now have a more "professional" bass (whatever), and yeah it sounds different than the Squier, but I still find myself using the Squier a lot. I love that thing.
Thanks for all you do, Scott!
To me those thousands of dollars basses are more like buying art…. a no name artist can paint a great picture….but a named artist will always command much more. This coming from a novice bassist that can make a $11,000 bass sound just as poorly as a $300 bass 🙂
