That's directly off _ _ _ _ the model base that I sell. _ _ _ _
And I replaced the tuning pegs.
Once I had the [F#] tuning pegs, and we went back [A] and looked at the tuning pegs on the model that we're selling,
we're going to upgrade them for the next one.
_ [G#] On your old [C] original neck, most of that finish had been worn off just from years of_
No, it was_
It was there?
It was intact?
Yeah, it was intact.
Huh. _
But I find it makes a great_
it's just so_
And it'll be interesting to see how that reacts in the humidity.
Uh-huh.
When you're playing outside on a sweltering day, _ _ and there's sweat all over your instruments_ Right.
It's a learning curve that you have to get through.
Right, right.
_ So I hope this works out, but it just feels so much easier to move up and down.
I have to say that this neck is a much faster neck than my original bass.
_ _ The original part is like_ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'll use a kind of _ a_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I don't know how to approach it.
Okay.
_ _ [G] And then when I play the main body of the song, it just goes back to simple [C] bass player stuff.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. _
_ _ It's really_
The boring stuff is easy to sing.
[G] Apart from meat and potatoes, man.
You gotta have it all, right?
Yeah, right.
But this_
you were asking about my comfort zone.
This is the area [B] of the neck that I work in the most.
Uh-huh. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ As we develop [C] _ songs and melodies, that changes.
Right.
_ _ It's funny when we go back to certain _ albums. _ _ _ _
_ Yeah.
Do you realize we work on different keys?
_ Being [G] fortunate to have so many albums out,
the length itself really_
I set really_
there's a lot of different [A] range in terms of the keys.
Yeah, yeah.
I hope that makes it more [C] musical.
Right.
_ In the course of the evening, I'm cool with that.
_ Just drilling the same keys.
Sure, sure, sure.
The bass I use almost as often is this beautiful red bass
that the Fender Custom Shop made for me.
_ _ It's just a gorgeous sounding instrument.
Next slide. _ _ _ _ _
Uh-huh.
And this actually made it on one of the tracks.
I'll save the space.
Uh-huh.
What's different about the sound?
_ It's hard to describe.
It's got a great bottom end sound.
The top [B] end is a little thinner, a little twangier,
but the low end is really very [F#] consistent and round.
[B] I don't think it's as big of a boost [G] as that.
My original bass has a bit more [C] gut and grunt to it.
It's a different kind of lower mid-range sound.
This is a little cleaner sounding, but it's a little deeper as well.
It's kind of a cool sounding bass.
Cool.
Here's the Pro11. _ _ _ _ _
That's the Tribute bass.
You can see the great length they've gone to. _ _ _ _
Every little crack.
Every little crack.
_ [B] _ I mean, that's crazy talk.
_ [G] But even like the Xiaomi bass that [F] doesn't have a badass bass,
[C] that doesn't have badass bridges.
Do you find that makes a [A] difference?
I do find it makes a difference.
Yeah.
I prefer [B] the sustain you get on the badass bridge.
And I add them on all my basses except this.
I'm not messing with this at all.
This was Jaco's bass.
This was not his exact bass, but [C] it's his concept,
and I pay tribute to that.
_ _ You can see how well _ rubbed in the, you know, he had the finish removed.
_ The old pegs are even _ _ distressed to feel like that.
And he's got _ precision knobs on the jazz bass, which are kind of funny.
I mean, he made this himself, I guess, when he made his own bass.
He pulled the frets out.
It's a fretted bass with the frets removed.
Right, and like an epoxy finish or something, right?
Is there like a different_
_ I mean, I guess you'd have to see his original neck
to see how scarred up it must have been. _ _
_ This is the fretted one he made, _ _ _ _ which does sound quite different.
_ But still a great sounding bass.
And I hope to use that in a future record when I need a different sound.
Right. _ _ _
And _ _ _ _ the model basses.
_ I'm getting remodeled basses on this one.
Yeah, this is a custom shop version, and that's one of those that I use on stage. Cool. _
_ So you can see it's a plethora of fenders.
Right.
