    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.

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.

    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.

    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?
