I think Would by AiC deserves a spot. One of the most iconic bass lines of the 90s!

Ian analyzing Guy Pratt’s bass line on “Like a Prayer” makes this worth the watch alone! Thanks bass

[xxitz_prgxx]

Ian is SUCH a cool dude, and I love how passionate he is about what he's talking about. Congrats on the collab, Spector!

Eddie Jackson from Queensryche has the best bass tone of all time. Period.

[craighill]

Doug Wimbish is a old school Spector guy and everything he does on Living colour's Stained is killer! And Ed Jackson from Queensrych is criminally underrated. Eyes of a stranger just might be a perfect bass line.

God I love Flea’s Spector tone. Knock Me Down hits the spot

[mavrikmuse]

Jet City Woman by Queensryche was an early tone inspiration for me way before I had even heard of Spector and now I’ve owned 3 and Spector is the sound I’ve always heard on record and in my head and now in my hands!

Pantera - Walk... The growl of that Spector and the fact that Rex is playing FREAKIN CHORDS.... 🤤

[just_a_random_carrot]

Owned a jazz bass for a decade never was satisfied because EVERY major tones I ever loved on songs were played with spectors. I played my first Euro and Ethos 3 and a half years ago in a store. I absolutely fell in love with both the gorgeous body, finishes and TONE!

I work in a guitar store and an Euro lt came through our doors. I cannot wait to bring it home 😍.

Love Spector basses they're perfect for me

[craighill]

And that interview with Guy Pratt was AWESOME! I love that man! As a player, they don't make them tastier and I could listen to his stories all day long & twice on Sunday! Nice job!

You're always a pleasure Ian, love your enthusiasm :)

[ibassnote]

So glad you referenced Sting’s Spector. That sound was so dialed on that tour. Synchronicity 1 is even more badass.

[stuartclarke]

I definitely lose myself to another dimension when I pick up my bass, but I don't know anyone that has much fun playing bass as Ian 😊Such a joy to watch and learn from. Keep up the great work, Ian!

[chriscuthbertson]

I was a huge Jason Newsted fan growing up and I always wanted one of his Spector signature basses, shame they never made it to production.

Now THAT's a great bass demo - thumbs up to Spector and Ian for this super informative content!! 👍

[leeallsopp]

Yes Ian! What a pleasure watching and learning from you... sold me in getting a 5string Spector 🙌

[ccjacks]

Holy crap I had no idea Like a Prayer goes so hard. Spector has my respect.

[victorbroden]

This is content of the highest gloriousness level.

As soon as you mentioned Queensryche I could hear Eddie Jackson's bass on "Spreading the Disease" killer chorus bass line.

[wolfgangsaller]

I always dreamed of having a Spector Bass since I saw one in a German Musician Magazin in the early eighties and now a half year ago I finally made it and got myself a NS-5XL and it sounds just like: "Aaaaah ....
.... and you nailed the soundpossibilities on those great basslines perfectly! Thank you, Ian! Such a pleasure!!!
