More pointless click bait permeating into the bass world.
Of course this has been done in many permutations. I won't be as harsh as the above reply however!
You KNOW its the player and not the bass; C'mon. I think it is an interesting and fairly well-demonstrative video but what really is the point, except to affirm what any player should (and probably does) already know.
Great fodder for the "Lindo Owner's Club" though!
Exactly, it's all in the fingers and now I'll sell my expensive basses (including my fodera) and buy a Lindo p bass for $100. Cheers!
Far better production values than most shootouts.
Same degree of pointlessness.

the guy makes videos constantly, most of them are... hmmm
Hey, maybe he's a secret endorser for Lindo Basses: They might give him, say, 10% for every $100 bass sold as a result of this highly-thought provoking and possibly thought-changing video! 
How much for those used Foderas BTW?

The Lindo didn't sound very good and the Fodera was lovely. The Jazz also sounded noticeably better than the Lindo.
IMO
I've seen a number of his videos. He's a good player.

A good carpenter doesn't blame his tools. There have been more recordings on a crap parts bass with mandolin frets than many heroes on a Fodera.
I agree; I think he's got some pocket.
I thought the Lindo sounded- "OK". It's a $100 bass, good for him for playing what he did.
So true.
I don't think he's ready to replace Marcus, Vic, or Chuck Rainey, but I think he did a fairly good demo.
Yeah.. I keep getting his videos in my stream. Something about the guy and those pointless videos, he just irks me. He's a good player no doubt, but, ugh.. Just ugh.
The Lindo sounded like P-bass with rounds being slapped.
Well, IMO; there's an overabundance of Bass videos on the market already: Slap, solo, you name it.
These days as w/ ProTools etc. anyone can put themselves out there.
Some should, some probably should not. At least we're not required to watch them, like the online Driving Course recently I had to take!

I mean, I guess. Just his tone on all three sounded really bad to me.
Dudes good, seen a bunch of his stuff. I like seeing how much more subtle stuff is done on the fodera vs the Mexican jazz and the other one.
I enjoyed his 12 string and fidget spinner videos. But I couldn't give a rat's ass about comparing a $100 bass vs a $10,000 bass. Never owned a $10,000 bass but I have owned several $100 and $200 basses, and if I have to choose between the two, I'll take the $10,000 bass any day of the week. It's not just about sound but playability.
Yeah, well defined, clear tone with plenty of low end and punchy mids! Sounds pretty bad to me too!
What's interesting, more than anything else, is watching how the same people play differently on different basses. Body shape, number of frets, pickup style and positions, all these things are affecting how he plays, which then affects what he plays.
