I am so happy to hear this comparison and this is a very well made video. I have a similar 59 and I always wondered how it was compared to the 57, because I am typically a grass is greener on the other side of the road type of guy (sadly). My take away from this is that they are both wonderful when played by someone with tone in their hands like you. Honestly, I bet having different strings on them would even be a bigger difference than the bass' natural tonal differences.. To that point I love Tomastik on my 64 Jazz and for those of you out there that have not tried fIats on your Jazz, I recommend you give them a shot. Your description of the Tomastiks is spot on, very usable across different tone settings. On my Precision, I do go with Labella because I want top pretend I can sound and play just like James Jamerson :) As for Jazz basses I notice a much bigger tonal string across the different fretboards. What are your thoughts on that?
Yeah, different string types, or even brands, will have a bigger difference in tone. I have a couple of maple neck basses but it’s my rosewood ones that get all the play. I feel like I get a kind of “stickiness” under my fingers with maple even though your fingers aren’t supposed to technically make contact 🤷♂️. My maple neck jazz does indeed have a crisper tone than my RW ones. After 10-15 minutes I find myself going back to RW for feel and a more “complex” tone. Maple for slap though. Also, the Brazilian rosewood used back then is harder and rings better than Indian rosewood.
This is VERY interesting. To me the alder body with rosewood neck sounds more aggressive (burps) and bright compared to the alder with maple neck. This is confusing to me as I normally hear that the maple neck is brighter/hotter and more aggressive. Did the pickup's change when they changed to rosewood? also do they have the same style of frets? I think this goes to show you need to go and try before you buy. Or at least listen. Cheers for this
The amount of burp or rasp from the '59 versus the '58 is likely due more to minute differences in the setup, including how flat the neck relief is set and how low the string height is adjusted. I own two reissue-type P Basses. One with '57-'58 type 1-pc maple neck and the other with a '59-'62 style flat-lam/slab rosewood fretboard.
@@YTPartyTonightweirdly I watched this again and saw your reply. Sorry for the delayed reply 🙈. I didn’t realise setup can be a factor to the burping sound. Can you tell a difference in your basses?
Wow, sublime tones. Personally I thought the maple had a rounder tone, pfat and plump. And the rosewood was more growly like Tony the tmTiger. Both awesome, whoever bought one of these is a lucky git lol
Amazing basses Andy! Curious to dive a bit deeper into the tone differences between the maple and the rosewood some more. Not sure how... but maybe somebody else has an idea how to do that.
The rosewood came louder / more aggressive. Perhaps different signal output between the two. Absolutely amazing bases and playing as well. I have hot 73 rose, also with thomastik.

Great playing and sound! For me it's the 58
Both sounded sublime with the tone rolled back. Amazing basses!
Os dois foram excelentes.
Both are sounds great! l like 58PB with maple fretboard.
I’ll take both, thanks.
The best comparison video ever! I prefer the rosewood more, both sounds good of course, cause the player rule the tone!

What's the reading of the pickup on the 59? I wish I could have heard the tone at 50% :)
Oh my both very very nice luv the tone off sounds ❤
That 59 Rosewood board sounds very sweet but both great instruments. Thanks for posting.
RW forever!

Beautiful tone on both of them but I do lean towards the "58, well played as always, cheers.

Check the 1977 vs 1977 video ❤
That may help too 🎉
Interesting. On a Jazz, my go-to neck is maple, but here, the Rosewood packs more punch which suits the P-bass more, IMO. Thanks!
I’d take the ‘’59 forcits rasp and beautiful board, though both sounded fantastic thanks to the superb playing.
The rosewood came louder / more aggressive. Perhaps different signal output between the two. Absolutely amazing bases and playing as well. I have hot 73 rose, also with thomastik.
OK OK OKKKK I’LL TAKE THE 59
GOTTA DIG THAT 59 P BASS
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA

Great Andy and thank you for your effort, it's very important !!!
Can you tell me what material the leotards are made of?
Thanks again.❤
Do you mean pickguard?
@@andysvintageguitars2335 No, I'm referring to the material of the body alder or ash
@ 3:07 When you turned off the tone, i got an eargasm
59 Rosewood is for my tasty
Probably I am only one bassist in the world, who hates Precision sound.
