Dude thank for your channel im a life long drummer now trying my hand at bass at 44yrs old a great help ...peace!

Ty so much. I bought your Theory book and it is helping me put things together a lot. It is a lot easier to follow what you are presenting when I have a solid bit of background an everything is not totally new to me. Absolutely true; grasp the Major scale. It is the necessary foundation to build on.

Sandberg 48. Looks awesome, just cant wait to play one!

[pppsimon]

My dream bass is a Guild Starfire II. Soft and smooth.

[graemerobertson]

I once played a Flea bass and it felt amazing. I will say no more because you know my view on the numbers system!

[billyjackson]

For years I had a Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling now I have a 1977 Fender Musicmaster short scale with flat wounds, ,,definitely my all time favorite !!

[MrCalifornia]

Great video. Currently I have a Sandberg California which I love, but I have my eye on a Sadowsky Metro Line!

Could this be the most useful bass lesson on the YouTube? Each of those chord progressions seems to have its own character. I can already imagine how useful practicing them and learning to recognise them will be for jam sessions and learning songs more quickly.

In terms of a favourite bass, I like short scales - my Squier CV 60s Mustang with flats is getting a lot of love at the moment. Although this video has made me think about getting a Precision... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[mezatron]

What a great video and channel. You got yourself another subscriber.

[mfCRD]

Thanks for the lesson! Very useful!

Also, my dream bass guitar is a Stingray. I just love their sound.

[MartyWilson]

Great lesson. My favorite bass is a Fender or Squier Precision or Jazz Bass, especially with flatwound strings

[Dobroz]

Favorite bass for blues G&L 1000, Jazz peavey Palladium

[jas]

Gibson SG bass, with flatwound strings. They just sound so fab. 😊🤗🤗

[Kittygacha_playz]

Great lesson. But let me ask a dumb question as a beginner. What does all that "major" and "minor" mean?

[stevenmacdonald]

Hi, excellent content and delivery by yourself. Mustang short scale or Fretless J bass will be my next purchase 💪🏻

[firemedicns]

My favourite bass guitar(s) is/are my Yamaha RBX6JM, and my Jackson JS3V bass. I use them a lot.

My dream bass guitar would be a Spector USA Custom Shop in 5 strings

[patriciamcknight]

favorite bass is my fender jazz.I play my Jp 90 some but practice mostly with with my JAZZ

[aldoabronzino]

My favorite bass guitar is my Hofner Very Thin, but sitll love my original guitar of 50 years Fender Precision

[patrickhorner]

Speaking of Basses, I acquired a G&L Fullerton Jazz Bass that is the finest JB I have ever played. I bought my first JB in the Seventies, a Fender, and this is superior. Besides the single coil hum which is gets quite loud when turned up, the sound and playability is great. It was set-up for playing right out of the box.

[craigholt]

Have a Ibanez Talman30 and love the short scale tone
