I lol’d so hard when I first saw the bridge
Yeah man, those hex posts have to be the longest you can get for the size. Too funny. Someone must've had a precious few dollars and even less of a clue, but they sure as hell weren't about to suffer from lack of threads.
I was horrified! I've spent a good while getting my Strat to suck in those farting screws, cos I hate them biting into my hand. There's a very limited range of screwability in those bent saddles; the more solid, cast ones are better, though I'm not sure how much those affect about sound.
@@Ndlanding Bent Saddles ?
Aahh ! You're talkin' Strat ...
@@KozmykJ I did say that (although I know this vid is about a bass, but it's pretty much identoloptikal.
@@Ndlanding np
good sounding p bass,that bridge at the start looked like an instrument of torture!
Can you imagine your fingers hitting that crap?😲
You use those to stab any stray guitarist who may try to stand in front of you during a gig:)
@@briansimpson8116 If only G.G. Allin were a bassist...
The bridge is fine. Just adjustments.
That bass is fantastic. Smart upgrades. Awesome color. Great video.

I worked 50 yards from the Rotosound factory for many years. Good to see they're still popular.
Easily the best strings ever.
I used to have that same exact bass. Added a Leo Quan Badass II bridge and a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pick up. Everybody loved the sound of that bass. When I would record that bass was requested. I had basses worth four times as much or more and that was the one people wanted. Gave it away to my niece years ago.
I’ve got the quarter pounder as well, sounds good. Find the bridge upgrade helped much?
Wow, what an incredible sounding bass ! Great job Dave ... be safe ...
That first bridge was hilarious.
Thanks Dave. Always enjoyable. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful color. Blue Agave. When it comes to colors Fender has always been at the top. Nice job Dave that bass turned out awesome.
What an intro!!! Lucky for you, scare tactics barely works!!! 8:20
Always relaxing to see you work. Stay safe!
Congratulations Doctor Dave,, another successful operation. 👍
This vid inspired me to buy a hi-mass bridge for my p-bass. Best 60 dollars I've ever spent
Thinking of installing on my p bass, did it improve the tone?
Thank's
@@user-qn6dn1ht4j tone stayed pretty much the same, maybe a slight bit more metallic. but the resonance went off the charts compared to the stock bridge
@@clickpond7825
Thanks for responding,
Thanks, Dave!
I like those Roto Sound 66 I always use GHS Bass Boomers 45 to 105 Med Fender Pre
I have this bass in this exact colour! So nice.
I have the same model and color, just slightly later according o SN. I've always known the color as Ice Blue Metallic, but have had others call it Agave. It was my first proper p--bass, and still a favorite.
I have a USRI '62 Tele Custom (2001) that is the same color. Fender called it Ice Blue Metallic. The metal flakes reflect light in interesting ways that can cause it to appear magenta or other colors. I bought it used, so I didn't choose the color.
Would love to see a P Bass in Daphne Blue satin lacquer with a maple fingerboard.
Sound advice for all aspects of your life...always tin your tip !!
You got it!
Those saddle screws - LOL. I think you could hang your hat on those!
Thanks Dave! Nice work! The bass sounds great! Impressive sustain on the bass!
Exactly the pickups I’m going to do, love the channel Dave!
Good job Dave.
Man my days of soldering are over. The EMG Geezer pickups are great, have vintage 70's tone and just plug in. And you can change the the knobs. As far as the Fender bridge goes the chrome is pretty with the name on it. But they don't make black 😳 I went with Gotoh on 3 of my P basses. I really don't care about giving Fender extra money. Personally with some of the bullshit they've pulled in the past they can pound sand. That doesn't mean I hate Fender, I just hate their politics.
I think that packaging is a sign of the times. (Although now with the pandemic, times are changing.) I figure you are definitely right to say that humans love packaging. Probably sometimes we love the packaging subconsciously more than we love what's inside the package. For example, look how attractive a bag of potato chips is, all for a a handful of chips. And how often we can get sucked in to impulse buy at the checkout counter, etc.
Groovy upgrade Dave. Nice bass. Sounds great. I like the color too. Even though I am more partial to a nice fiesta red on a p-bass.
Sweet clear tone on that Precision there Dave.
I revisited Precision land a few years back and picked up a slightly modded MIM.
Changes - Black scratch-plate, nicer on sunburst. Creamery 65 pickup Omega Bridge.
I like them best when they're a little bit imperfect.
When there's a couple of 'dead spots' here and there.
The old 70s maple one I had in the 90s was great like that; dead spots, slightly tired pickup.
I was a fool to let it go really ...
This MIM I have now is a bit too 'Good'.
Maybe she'll age before I'm done.
Next string change I'm thinking of going for Flats.
I have the same bridge I need to put on. This video will do nicely. Time to get some neck shims. On another note I made some beer bread from your instructions. The family loved it. I will use Lowenbrau for the baking of the next loaf of beer bread. Yes....Lowenbrau. Or as I like to call it “Low End Brow”.
Dave's World of Fun Stuff good one
wovld have loved to zee the intonation and pickvp height adjvztment. Great work!
Nice, Mexico '02
The color is Agave Blue, Dave. I have a jazz bass same year and color.
In my opinion, the bass does not need modifications. The stock version is fine. Just maintenance and maybe better strings
@@ramencurry6672 happy that works for you!
You can only do what you can do. Sounds Killer. 👍
Right, that bridge looks like a garden rake!
Sounds fantastic, and that color really is nice the more I look at it. That shade of blue would take a black pick guard really well, and maybe even a gold one, much as I'm not normally a gold type of person. The body finish has enough pop it might compliment it really well.
Wow Dave,thanks for the power tool orgy...................
Fine to use power for screws providing the fit is correct, howevere, starting and finishing should be turned by hand,
The intro 😂
Dave here in South Australia, we have had no confirmed new cases in the last 10 days. No one in hospital recovering and we are now being encouraged to visit regional areas to boost their economy. Still have to keep social distancing in mind, but our borders are closed to interstate visits, other than freight. Australia is closed to international travel, both in and out. We have had 4 deaths here, I believe, all linked to people on a cruise ship and some American and Swedish visitors to our wine region.
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff Dave, that's sad to hear, please keep your distance from others. You probably have more people in Toronto than we have in the whole of Australia. I think we have about 2 mil in South Australia. Our Government shut our borders off very quickly to prevent more coming in, but we had a major problem with cruise ships.
Beautiful bass. My P-bass Special just got one of those bridges.
Your hired
Like the new bridge
Great job 👍 looks and sounds awesome !
Thanks Dave For A Great Job On The Upgrades On This Model P Bass. I Recently Added A Players Series P To My Collection Of Basses & Love The Bass. Made In Mexico? Hard To Believe.
Nice work Dave. Loving your work, keep safe.
Dave you have the loudest unwrapping videos on Utube.😉
Hey Dave, love your channel. I don't understand anything about how you do what you do, but I find watching you fascinating. p.s. I do play bass for my own enjoyment from time to time.
Hi Dave, Greeting from your Manchester, England fan club. Great work as usual. Is Carpal a standard for us Bass men. 😂
Nice bass! Really good upgrades.
My own personal preference would be a maple fingerboard, but that bass is a beauty.
Great timing with this video! I have my first bass still, a Slammer by Hamer, basically a P Bass copy. It plays great, but a lot is messed up. Im planning to replace the electronics, pickups, pick guard, bridge and tuners eventually, also with original Fender parts (If they fit), and it should really give it new life judging from this video!
I have one as well, in metallic red it was also my first bass. Got it used, it was missing 2 dot inlays which i have since installed myself. Also did a fret level, new tuners, tusq nut and pickguard. Haven't swapped the electronics or bridge it sounds decent enough for a plywood pbass copy!
If you replace the handle of a broom, and then the bristles, is it the same broom? If they are original fender parts, it would probably cost about the same to just buy a whole new, mid-range bass anyway.
Good job Dave. Great sounding bass.
Dave, happy freakin' Sunday dude!
Dang that thing sounds great
Hello Dave, sounds and looks amazing. Your right about the 2nd wave it'll come sooner than later. . Things will have to reverse like a double Truss rod. Stay safe and stay well..
I've heard numbers aee going down now rhat everyone is out, what's funny is the people running the towns where the riots are going on here in the USA aren't even mentioning social distancing or coronavirus spreading, it's like they forgot about it 🤔
Lookin' a little shaggy there David. Sign of the corona times, eh? My own self, I ain't seen a barber since October. My hair's - what's left of it - grown out like weeds. Strangers are asking if I've got drugs to sell. Stay safe sir.
I buzz cut mine myself. Practical....not handsome.
Ssssssoooooo...
You do have drugs?....or no?
I have a 08’ MIM P bass and installed the same bridge. Came with screws AND needed a shim. They are just a lot thicker. My bent bridge didn’t look like that though. LOL
Wow isn't that Gibson's "Pelham Blue" ?? Nice to see the brands sharing &
playing nice-nice.
🤨
The color is kinda delicious...
That turned out great!!
Good day hoser!
Dave love your show and you tips are awesome. Where do you buy neck shimes? You need to show us pictures of you in the 70’s back in you’re band days. My guess is you had long long hair.
Solder On.
Yep! Very Interesting!
Hey Dave, former electronics tech here. Noticed that I don't see you using silver solder (lead-free). I always hated using the stuff when we had to use it for RoHS compliance, it looks like a cold joint right away and doesn't seem to conduct as well. I'd always get better results using leaded or eutectic solder, plus we didn't have to constantly be filing silver oxide off the tips of our irons. Have you ever used the lead free stuff? What was your opinion?
I’ve got a new bass neck it hasn’t been pre drilled by the manufacturer. Can I attach it without drilling pilot holes into the new neck or can I just screw then into the wood ???
pilot holes dude
Nice job!
It's going to be 89 degrees Fahrenheit in Pittsburgh for the next three days Dave .
nice work
I have a Lake Placid Blue Strat with a Maple fingerboard. Sure is pretty. :)
A couple of basses that I have BadAss II bridges on have the same issue, the bridge is definitely a better item, but afterwards both necks needed shims.
My Fender high Mass Bridge also included screws. This bridge was USED AND RESEALED
I think there must be something wrong with me, when I see colours like that I don't get exited, they really don't attract me to an instrument.
I hear lots of people saying great things about them type of colours, they call them 'cool' and say 'wow' but I cannot understand why.
That does sound sweet though and that's what really matters !
Agree w/you. That color couldn’t be any more “MEH” to my eyes either. I dont think there’s anything “wrong” with our eyes.
Agreed. I'm a classic/old school fool. Traditional finishes all the way.
@@smasica FWIW, Fender used Ice Blue Metallic in the 60's.
Why do people prefer blonds, brunettes or redheads, as long as they sound sweet...
@@Declare57 I'm drawn to a nice face, the colour not so much, so long as it's a healthy one.
I had the same problem with my Fender American Professional. Had to put a shim in it. Unacceptable. Fuck Fender !! I play Squier now and glad of it. Incidentally enough, my Squire needed nothing done to it.
That’s what Billy Sheehan said.
Hi Dave, great video! Could you please tell me what link where you buy your shims? Thanks 😊
I didn't read all the comments so excuse me if mine is a repeat but, with Solo having a storefront /non-mall type store, will they be part of this soft opening? I know you will let us know when you're returning. I just hoping they are able to rebound. Looked like a great store with a solid future. Hope it's not lost to the virus. Stay safe!
The color is Agav'e Blue. I have a jazz and a strat that color.
Shimmy, Shimmy Cocoa Pop!
Hi, are those bridges designed to be counter sunk into the body? That is, similar to the BadAss bridges that they are based on?
Beauty.
At the end - THAT is what a P-Bass is supposed to sound like!
I'm wondering how many times this guy's strung a Bass...
Hey bass players: question - Do we like the nickel version of those Rotosound swing bass 66 strings? I’ve just recently replaced my strings with the 66 stainless steel strings (orange package), which I gather are well regarded and it’s the stainless version that gives the Swing Bass 66s their reputation. To be honest, I’m not in love with them. I like the way they sound - hefty and growly - although they’re sharper and more high-end dominant than I need them to be. But I *hate* the way they feel/play. They’re the least smooth strings I’ve ever tried - they grate my fingers up and down the scale. They feel like I just went to a machining/metal supply store and asked for raw industrial wire slathered in machine oil and threw those on. I’m wondering if I should try the nickel version of the 66s?
This is why I like the DR Stainless Steel strings, much smoother feel. The Rotosound tone they do not have though.. Rotosounds tend to die quickly for me though compared to other strings.
those steel strings are gonna grate your frets too
I'd say def give the nickel rotos a try, or pretty much anything from DR.
Recently got the DR pure blues and like em a lot. These are the ones DR won over Victor Wooten with. They're "quantum nickel" the idea being you get the feel of nickel with (some of) the brightness of steel. They don't sound quite as bright as steel, but I feel they sound different than most nickel strings, in a good way.
@@dickr9345 Pure Blues on a P Bass is perfection. Nickel Lo Riders on a J!
The bridge......frightening. Slicomatic 2000. 😳
11:30, Dave, did you ever fully seat the E string? The ball end isn't seated in the bridge. It's driving me crazy! Lol
Actually, it was an illusion, the ball ends sit completely outside the butt end of the bridge. The hole beside the low E is the intonation access hole.
Is that Ice Blue Metallic?
Dave, do you ever get trouble with intonation, with different pick up heights? If I have my pick ups too high, it messes the intonation up.
"Hold your group together with Rotosound strings!"
Dave, do you recommend a streightedge rule for my first jobs or is not necesary?
I used maple veneer becuz it gotz tonez. And it was cheaper than walnut.
CLINK, CLUNK, OUCH ! Can't believe they didn't oil the truss rod. And Dave, would you please move your work bench amp away from your camera? Can't hear the comments you make while your using it. Thanks.
Sounds great! Don't you use stainless steel rotos now Dave?
thats what she said
I'm not a fan of aftermarket fat bridges, because vintage bridges work great.
What is the hole under the pick guard for?
Dave was that a bridge for a P Bass or a bloody lawn thatcher? The older I get the more I shake my head
color is tidepool
The reason you have to shim the neck pocket even though the neck is straight is because the body warps slightly over time due to the string tension also. You can check the body with a straight edge.
You got screwed, by having no screws for the bridge!!!!
Lake placid blue is nicer than pelham blue to me.... A little more metal flake i think ....but hey...what do my eyes know. Cheers Dave
