    It's hard to improve upon perfection, and this is what old school bass tone should sound like! Leo got it right! Strung with La Bella flat wounds and played through the amazing Genzler Magellan 350 BA10; it's punchy, fat, round, with plenty of thump! The tone that sits in a mix perfectly and makes everything else sound AMAZING.

    Oh man, thanks for all the work you out into this. It’s awesome to learn the stories behind things like this. Really an incredible instrument.

    the strap button on the headstock was popular in the 60's, similar to what they did with 6 string guitars. they used straps that were thin, and it was thought made life easier and prevented neck dive. These died out soon and people when to the wider modern straps and no hooking it to the headstock.

    The tone that I have been searching for. The Fender 64 p bass, the Genzler, and the Labella Flats have a love triangle going on here. Pure magic. A truly beautiful bass sound.

      Thanks, Aaron! A P bass with Labella flats is impossible to beat for me. It just sounds like a record and holds together a mix like glue. The Genzler is just so brilliantly designed, that combo (Magellan 350-10t) is shocking with what it can do in such a small package. Thanks for watching!

      Do you use the Jamerson flats .110 E, or the regular flats?

      @@aaronmoore9055 They're the regular Deep Talkin' Flats. I think they're 45-105.

    No I think that strap metal button was put on the headstock not to put the strap there , but as a spare button

    BEAUTIFUL BASS ! FENDER PRECISION BASS WILL ALWAYS BE UNIQUE. ! IT IS SIMPLE BUT RICH IN SOUND. I THINK THAT IF IT IS VINTAGE, THE SOUND WILL BE DEEP BECAUSE THE WOOD OF THE BODY IS DRIER. !

      Wood has no impact on sound. Nothing is resonating in the wood, the sound is generated by a metal string moving above a magnet and thats it.

    The best way I can describe this sound is I hear the wood in the instrument - it's sort of a hollow sound with deep resonance of wood.

    Super cool bass and video. Pre CBS p basses still are the best basses ever in my opinion. Nothing sounds so nice balanced, punchy, throaty in the mix.

    Iirc '63 was the first year for a relatively high output pickup, 10K to 12K. LF got wider and maybe deeper but at the sacrifice of the articulate LFs that make late 50s late 50s. Which is to say, you'll need 2...
    Otherwise, more playing! No forgiveness required.

    Here’s some advice. As your talking, you should show more of the bass and less of you.
