Why the Jazz Bass CRUSHES everything :)

I just like the way they feel. But ...

Aaaaah, dude, it gots a tone knob.

Sorry. I'm not tempted enough to watch that. There's not enough clickbait in that image.

Well doggone. I thought the 'Tone Trick' was playing with a glove . . . .

We have variations on this topic 2-3 times a month it seems

Dammit, I just bought a P bass because I watched another SBL video that said P basses were the best. Guess that's going in the trash.

Scott's clickbait videos annoy me too, but he has a real condition. Keith Emerson had it. Glenn Gould had it. Christian Münzner has it. I have it too, and while the glove looks stupid, it lets me play. At all.

Props to Scott for making a living out of what he loves, but I can’t stand the direction he took his videos.

The video is clickbait, like most of Scott's stuff, however all it is doing is praising the Jazz bass for its history and use in the world of music, and showing off the tones of it and fits in mixes. It goes over know players and then into genres it will shine in like Reggae. I like my Jazz bass the best, the video is just clickbait saying its the best. Whatever you like and used is the best imo, smh.

Either way, yeah I like jazz bass woo.

I seriously doubt he was mocking Scott.

I simply had no idea it was a response to a condition. I frankly don't watch enough of his videos to have seen the explanation.

Had I known, I CERTAINLY would not have picked on the man, and I will have to own up to the fact that I honestly did not know, and meant no disrespect.

Thank You for filling me in on that.

Aside for anyone who doesn't already know: That "reggae trick sound" puts a little resistance between the pickup and the tone cap, and this does the same thing as the mysterious extra resistor in some of the single coil P basses (and the current AVII 54), which also reduces the volume a little. It dampens what would otherwise be a resonance between the pickup and the tone cap, often around 300Hz.

This resonance can be damped by rolling up the tone pot a little, but the above does it while keeping the tone pot at 0.

I like Jazz basses too !

I love watching Scott and Ian chatting about basses. They’re excellent players and they’re just having fun, some of you folks need to lighten up.

I dont like Jazz basses, no, not at all

 

[MrAB4003]

So Scott and Ian made a video called "the most annoying bass ever made" covering my favorite model of bass for the first time in the history of Scott's channel. But what's funny is that it can do everything a Jazz Bass can but better. Therefore, the Jazz Bass can't possibly CRUSH everything.

I know that for all the players out there that have been using FSO's since forever, this video is click bait. For the rest of us, I enjoyed the knowledge and clips they used. BTW, I had watched the video before I saw it here in this post. That's why I clicked on it, to see how people were going to react to it.

I don't fault any successful musician on YT or anywhere else trying to create new content. How many times can you discuss inversions, triads, diatonic, pentatonic, chromatic, learning the fretboard, etc., and keep it fresh. Remember, for some people, this the the first video they have ever viewed by Scott. Maybe the content piqued their interest to delve deeper into his channel.

Wait a few weeks and it will be humbucker basses! Let me know when you trash the p. I’ll stop by and pick it up!
