What a great presentation! A "real" bass player! Playing bass the way it should be! All U amateurs, wannabes and dilettantes, - take a good hard look at this video. And then decide if U wanna play bass or not! . . . PS - I'm a Precision guy, but I gotta say the Jazz Bass sounds really good here.
@@wmhhealth2018 I also own all three of them. But being a child of the 80ies I had the strong urge for a typical graphite sound, so I bought a Status. And, although it's not my cup of tea, you have to give the Rickenbacker some respect as a bass sound on its own.
@@f.herumusu8341 I also own an early 1982 Steinberger L-2. I prefer it to the Rick. I've owned 4 Ricks and eventually sold them all. The sound was never the issue, particularly the low end which is massive but the playability. Ultimately I find it awkward. Fender and the 34 inch scale length is magic.
@@wmhhealth2018 Yes, beside the sound, that I would seldom need, the playabilty of the Rickenbacker made it always a "Won't buy" for me. But I admit that is a Non-Leo Fender Bass that wrote Bass history. Cant imagine Chris Squire without a Rickenbacker sound.
Amazing comparison! Generally speaking I am using to prefer the Jazz sound but also in this situation I must admit that the Stingray cuts the mix much better than the others two basses!
You knew the answer before you even made the video…. They ALL sound iconic. All 3 of them are fantastic basses. in the end, It all boils down to who’s mixing the cut.
I have the same trio in my own collection... Great demo and against everything, I must again admit that a proper Stingray MM20 (2EQ) is an absolute killing machine ! Love it sick.
If you're a tradesman, your skill has to be complimented by your tools. The Jazz, followed by the Precision, followed by the Stingray. Choice of the professionals. You can't go wrong with any of them. Comes down to Vanilla, Chocolate or Strawberry. Everything else is exotic.
Great comparison! What this taught me is that the tone of each instrument is down to personal taste but that any of the "big three" basses sound fantastic if the player is this good.
Brilliant as usual. Close for me between the Jazz and the Ray. I’d be happy with either for that tune. I still remember when it was released. Getting old!
I've already subbed to one million channels but i keep stumble upon great contents! I couldn't help but subscribe to your chennel as well! Very nice vid and, IMO, the P bass is killing! Thank you Obrad! And, by the way, your playing is great. Bravo! 👍👍👍
(JMO) In THIS particular "demo", the Jazz Bass sounds best; I believe it's the mids that make it stand out, but they all sound Fantastic; Hell, they're ALL Fenders. Thanks Leo. 👍🏿👊🏿
For me, the Jazz Bass clearly wins here. It's not about standing out in the mix, it's about the sound. This JB sounds fantastic in this context. It might be different with other songs. Excellent video and great playing 👍
El mejor video de versus, definitivamente y mi favorito el precisión Bass ♡ Ya que lo que capto mi oido de cada uno y sin favoritismo. • Jazzbass sensación tridente y (captación de trasteos) (de hecho este factor es muy jazzbass y por eso no me gusta.) • Stingray Si bien tiene potencia (alto volumen/captación) Sigue estando entorno muy brillante/tridente, similar al jazzbass en eso, solo que sin el aspecto de trasteos. (Se me hace un jazzbass con alto volulemen y silenciado mas los trasteos. • Precisión Bass, es como un equilibrio idoneo donde lo que sientes es la calides en las notas, sin trasteos, sin altos agudos, realmente es lo que debe transmitir un bajo y en eso esta muy bien logrado, aunque su nivel de volumen es ya sea a la par del jazzbass o un poco menos, pero nada que darle mas volumen o un booster no pudieran manejar. Definitivamente para mi el precisión Bass es la esencia de un autentico Bajo, que no dejaria de escuchar una y otra vez.
Can be..just need to get those three basses back together. Since this video seems to be interesting to the viewers, I thought to make similar one with slap, but a pic is also a nice idea.
I have player J basses most of my life. By themselves they sound the most pleasing to my ears. But even though soloed, the Stingray sounds kind of quacky, in the mix it sounds the best
@@luigi.zaninidoesn't mean the Stingray is any better or worse than the Jazz or Precision - they might want the jazz bass to sit in the mix rather than cut through, it's all a matter of taste
@@luigi.zanini TBH: I can't take that "cuts through the mix"-BS anymore. In 90% it's a bad excuse for a bad mix. All three of these basses have proven since decades that thier sound is absolutly fine for "cutting trough the mix" ... if mixed properly.
I am rather new to bass playing and prefer Precis by far as I play (hard) rock mainly. But when I hear such classy comparisons I hear the class of a Jazz bass (which was in the middle position I guess). And think that the Stingray sounded more Jazzy than the Jazz bass, but I guess that‘s a question of EQing the avtive preamp?
I don’t know what you mean for “to sound more Jazzy” but in this comparison you can realize that the Stingray cuts better the mix that other two basses so you can hear it better mostly with a track in the background!
Nice demo and playing. I've been thinking about getting a Stingray for a while now to go with my P and J, now videos like this keep popping up. Do you think somebody is trying to tell me something?
thanks for the video i am new to bass guitar and could not hear the difference between their sound so i can make my decision would it be correct to describe their sounds as follows? Stingray = aggressive, punchy Pbass = thick and warm jazz bass = growly and bright
I've always been and still am a P bass guy. I own a Stingray short scale but still like the P better. Jazz - not for me. The Jazz sounds OK but I"m not a fan of the offset body and single coil pickups.
Appreciate you plucking in the same spot on all the basses. Been listening to a lot of motown lately, don't like how the open E sounds on the p bass in this particular configuration. Just seems a bit thin

This could easily be the best comment I've received on my channel. Thank You so very much! 👍🙏
I own all 3 multiple years some vintage. They are all a bass player needs. Leo Fender was a genius.

@@f.herumusu8341 I loved Squire and Roger Glover and the sound they got from their Ricks. Roger Glover is criminally underrated.
Impossible to choose,nice sound for all of 3!!!!!
Maybe Stingray and P bass for me
I have got allmost all 3. A Fender Preci, Jazz and a Music Man Stingray 5 string. Makes fun to play all 3, depends on what song.
I own a Music Man bass I love that low note baritone sound.
Well, I had the time of my life watching this comparison video!
Thanks 👍, me to recording it 🙂
Your playing and feel is the greatest.
The Stingray for me.
Thanks 👍
Amazing comparison!
Generally speaking I am using to prefer the Jazz sound but also in this situation I must admit that the Stingray cuts the mix much better than the others two basses!
Who would have guessed that the time of my life Bass line would make for such a good bass demo 👍
Man, This guys having The time of his life!
You can never go wrong with either of them
Such great playing.
Thanks 👍
I have all 3 but I prefer the feel and sound of a p bass
For this song, the jazz bass. Hands down.

Yes, I knew...🙂
Genial comparación, se nota la enorme diferencia entre uno y otro. En lo personal creo que el mejor sonido es el Jazz Bass
All 3 of them sound great, just a matter of preference. What counts is the playing …which really make them shine 😉
Thanks 👍
Great video test Bro! I rather go for the Stingray even though I own & love my 78 Jazz & 76 P Bass as well.
I have the same trio in my own collection... Great demo and against everything, I must again admit that a proper Stingray MM20 (2EQ) is an absolute killing machine ! Love it sick.
Thanks, I love 2EQ MM. Must found one for myself as this one is not mine
I love the stingray's and Jazz bass sound ❤
They all sound so damn good.
Exactly. How do you say you love one of your children best!
That precision looks and sounds superb, but I did like the jazz on this piece, great playing obra
Thanks 👍

Three great basses.

Los 3 suenan muy bien, pero ese gruñido y sensación de "lo llena todo" del precisión es inigualable
Stingray !
Great video!! =D I Like the StingRay and Precision
Brilliant as usual. Close for me between the Jazz and the Ray. I’d be happy with either for that tune. I still remember when it was released. Getting old!
Thanks

As a real Stingray lover, i must admit the Jazz sounded the best.
as a Jazz lover I must admit that the Stingray cuts better the mix!
The Jazz sounds closest to the recording
Thank you for this nice comparative video.
Thank You for watching.
Thanks for comparison!
Thanks for watching 👍
I still love the P-bass most, it's a completely personal taste thing. Thanks Obrad, well done.
Hombre, mis 3 bajos favoritos !! Suscrito. Buena comparación 👍🏻🎸😎
Thanks! Enjoy my channel 👍
Stingray is my Favorit.😊
P sits better in mix...it just simply does its job brilliantly not to stand out..not too clicky..just fat round and punchy...engineers dream.
Odlično!!!
Great video! On the Jazz Bass, how did you have the pickup set? Neck, Bridge, 50/50?
Yes, 50/50, tone open all the way, but some EQ and compressor in DAW.
The precision almost always sounds the best but the Jazz plays the nicest.
The Jazz sounded so great
Amazing playing and tone. On all three bases. Just out of personal preference I'll always pick a jazz.
Thanks 👍
El mejor video de versus, definitivamente y mi favorito el precisión Bass ♡
Ya que lo que capto mi oido de cada uno y sin favoritismo.
• Jazzbass sensación tridente y (captación de trasteos) (de hecho este factor es muy jazzbass y por eso no me gusta.)
• Stingray Si bien tiene potencia (alto volumen/captación)

Precision fits better
All three sound fantastic! But I think the Jazz sounds like it supports the music best in my opinion.
Another similar comparison but with a pick? 🙏👍
Can be..just need to get those three basses back together. Since this video seems to be interesting to the viewers, I thought to make similar one with slap, but a pic is also a nice idea.
Comparison with a pick just released on my channel 😊!
I prefer the stingray or is it just me?
is because of the humbucker pickup
Different Tools for different tasks
I personally Love a PJ Bass with a J Neck
I love musicman stingray too
I’ve got theses 3. It’s like clothes and shoes, i take one of them to the gig depending on my mood of the day.😊
I own all three and use them all an equal amount of time. For this song I would most likely use the P-bass.
Jazcisionman
Great Video. Just confirms I want all 3 😂
Thanks!
It seems like the Music Man’s is perfect for this song I’ve always thought that was the bass they were playing when they recorded this song.
foken jazz rulez them all
Great bass player and the description under video? Legendary :D
Thanks 👍. Check my other videos if You like 🙂
I have player J basses most of my life. By themselves they sound the most pleasing to my ears. But even though soloed, the Stingray sounds kind of quacky, in the mix it sounds the best
Very distinct! How do I live only owning one???
Ese JazzBass suena increíble
I’ve had mine on order for months… and it’s due in next week!!!!
Which one?
For this song? I prefer the full and round sound of the Jazz Bass.
yes, you prefer the Jazz sound (subjective thing) but the Stingray sound is cutting better the mix (objective thing)
@@luigi.zanini Bro, we get it.
@@luigi.zaninidoesn't mean the Stingray is any better or worse than the Jazz or Precision - they might want the jazz bass to sit in the mix rather than cut through, it's all a matter of taste

The Fenders sounds more earthier but The Fender half sibling, the Music Man is a close second and more powerful.
Alone of in a low volume band the Jazz bass. In a live situation to be good in the mix with a louder band the Stingray.
Precision for me :)
great video I like it

You're right 👍. Stingray sounded Jazzyer than Jazz. Jazz Bass was in the midle position.
I don’t know what you mean for “to sound more Jazzy” but in this comparison you can realize that the Stingray cuts better the mix that other two basses so you can hear it better mostly with a track in the background!
Pbass❤
Nice demo and playing.
I've been thinking about getting a Stingray for a while now to go with my P and J, now videos like this keep popping up. Do you think somebody is trying to tell me something?
I only think I need one more Stingray with 2EQ....and probably a Jazz Bass 😫
@ObraBass I've got my eye on a really nice Stingray special. Ii know I shouldn't but. . .
In your hands they all sound great. I think the Jazz bass sits in the mix the best in this case.
Thanks 👍
Jazz Jazz Jazz Jazz...
The Jazz and Stingray sounded the best, the P-bass sounding thinner. This guy is a solid player, too.
precision....
And once agsin the precision bass shows why it’s the daddy of them all
Solo - Jazz sounds the best, but in the full instrumental mix - Precision all the way...
My eyes tell me.... Jazz bass
Great review 👍😎
Thank You 👍
thanks for the video
i am new to bass guitar and could not hear the difference between their sound so i can make my decision
would it be correct to describe their sounds as follows?
Stingray = aggressive, punchy
Pbass = thick and warm
jazz bass = growly and bright
Thank You for watching
Only one wins : the player
🙏
Jazz bass´s clasic sound forever times!
I've always been and still am a P bass guy. I own a Stingray short scale but still like the P better. Jazz - not for me. The Jazz sounds OK but I"m not a fan of the offset body and single coil pickups.
great
Gostei um pouquinho mais do precision por ter um som mais aveludado e bom de se ouvir
My rating
#1 Stingray
#2 Jazz
#3 Precision
Leo Fender's three masterpieces!
Absolutely
In the bass alone the Stingray does it for me but with the music tge jazz wins because I couldn't hear that Stingray sizzle
jazz, for this song is the best
Le recomiendo poner el equalizador totalmente "flat" ya sea en su celular o pc, ahi percibiran realmente la esencia de cada uno.
I would like to know which strings you had on these basses.
Elixir coated
Jazz,Precision,StingRay....
Without a doubt the jazz wins,all good but j bass clear winner
Jazz bass🎉
I think the jazz the tone character of the song best
For me the Jazz Bass mixed better on this song
I'll take the Stingjazzisson Bass 😂
thx
Precision rules🎉
Appreciate you plucking in the same spot on all the basses. Been listening to a lot of motown lately, don't like how the open E sounds on the p bass in this particular configuration. Just seems a bit thin
Nothing cuts through like a Stingray.
the jazz bass
JB !!! 👍
JB 👍👍👍
Ich habe alle drei und werde keinen hergeben.
StingRay, P, J, in that order
