I just bought a whale blue 10-top with rosewood fretboard. Playing through a clean amp with a relatively light finger-style, I could get the tone that Gary Grainger is producing at the beginning of the clip. I can't reproduce his style but... a bass that sounds like this one - does make me work hard to achieve it. The quality of the bass and Grainger's style - form the best incentive to strive for excellence I've had in 30 years. I love the low, precise action (that of course is adjustable for more violent styles). The action, neck finish and width are all speed-sauce for my arthritic left thumb. In short, it is an absolute blast... As far as all the comments about how these two men communicate, how much knee touching, etc... Please grow up. Mr. Grainger is obviously a genius on the bass. Mr. Smith is a genius in turning artist preference, wood and metal into instruments of jaw-dropping beauty with equally amazing breadth and depth of tone. So, the two men may not appear to be the perfect pair for charades, but when it comes to colluding to produce a super-cool 5-string for jazz, blues, rock, praise and worship... just close your eyes and listen to the bass.
"Can you do a little whoopity whapity, tappity flappity for me, Gary?"
That bass sounds like a marriage of a Sting Ray and a Ken Smith! Fantastic tone!!!
the very two basses he used before this endorsement!
I love Gary Grainger and his playing on the Stingray bass during his John Scofield days.. Top of my list of bassist who have a big influence on me
PRS really nailed it with this bass. Much like the legendary Yamaha Nathan East BBNE2, the PRS Gary Grainger bass is the result of a great instrument builder really listening to a serious bassist's suggestions and following through. I've played two of these so far and both we're easily as good as any USA MTD or Ken Smith that I have ever played. There's an organic quality to the tone, even though it's voice is very modern. The construction and playability were phenomenal to say the least. They ain't cheap for sure, but you get what you pay for in this case.
The tone is very versatile, anything from Ken Smith punch and clarity to Musicman straight up grind and bottom end. It can cover both those iconic bass tones and then some. It's always modern, but it just kills at it. These are not your Dad's PRS basses from the 80s and 90s, not even a little bit....
As good as Malcolm hall's MTD?
do this,do that boy he's bossy
"you wanna play some more Gary?" 4 seconds later "alright stop for a second"
I was fortunate to play one of these at Gruhn Guitars In Nashville and loved it . The sounds the build and the finish . I love Spector Basses ( I also own some P and J basses ) and in the high end basses the PRS and Spector are up there .
He's a very cool Cat, nice and humble guy. Was such a great experience and honor to host him in Uganda 🇺🇬 in 2013, with the late great Drummer John Blackwell 👌🏿
This guy is so, so good! Awesome. And the guitar is beautiful
That tone is godlike
Paul comes off as a control freaky knee toucher, but I love his guitars..
Mr Meier, that doesn't preclude him from being a freaky "knee touchy" guy, does it? I'll change the subject matter even more here and ask you a question. How does a real man choose to call himself a mensch? This is not rhetorical, I am curious. I have always thought that one was supposed to be assigned to a person based on ones merit. I am guessing you are the opposite of your youtube name, and "hidin behind a display off youtube" smh
Well his name and his passion and the touching is being involved .
I love how informal this is. Gary and Paul look like they're really having a good time. A.so, that bass sounds fantastic. I'd get one if I had the bred for it.
Grainger is a legend 🙌
It would have been cool if Paul Reed Smith said "Gary, how about some fingerstyle..." Oh well, still a gorgeous bass and I'm considering grabbing one.
Bass sounds awesome
Very nice bass for sure!! Gary has a great double thumb going on!
Could you guys do one like this but with the se basses? Pleaseee
Pickups in the Roscoe Bass sweet spots, no wonder it sounds so good! I like :)
Gary Grainger is one of the best! 😎🎸😎
That axe sound incredible
I just got a GG 5 a week ago, my first PRS bass.
I'm a guitarist, but play other instruments for recording purposes. I only really have a few complaints: Tele saddles, it just seems PRS could have done better than that; and the lip around the edge of the body found on the Core models is absent. I LOVE that little lip. Also, I can't find wooden tuner buttons and the solid shaft pots don't accept my push-on knobs, which are more common than the screw-on. Regardless of my doesn't-affect-my-playing quibbles, I know I got a great bass and it was at a great price.
Grainger Brothers in full effect!
That's a very good looking Bass
I would love to work with PRS :3
That's an interesting bass. Right there.
I tried this bass several times and it is maybe the best 5 stringer I've ever played. But this video doesn't make justice to it at all. It sounds awfully thin and clancky to my ears. Nothing close to how it really sounds.
Gary Grainger and Adam Blackstone play'n the same company bass. How cool is that!?
Ampeg or not, that bass kills!!!
Gary and I went to college together at Morgan st
Quit touching my knee!
he use to play ken smith. In my opinion kens smith and prs have pretty similar tone. As well as roscoe.
Some definite awkwardness in this here video. The knee touching is strange body language
two 9V batterie$
I'd play one of these over a Warwick any day.
12ealDeal I'd play most guitars over a Warwick any day.
12ealDeal lol
Having played both the PRS is like a Rolls Royce and the Warwick ???? Like a Hybrid Toyota . The PRS is amazing .
Did Paul really try to give Gary Grainger a definition of groove?
To Gary Grainger??? 😂
Lets talk about the rediculous price of this bass!
Nice bass but I could buy both a Lakland and a Musicman stingray for that money or if I had the money I'd get a Dingwall before I would buy that, wasn't impressed
Did you play one?
@@racesla Yes wasn't impressed
@@racesla And I did buy a Musicman Stingray 5hh and a Lakland 55-02 love them😄
Can someone do a bass demo that doesn't consist of all slap? Nobody, well very few, will play slap for an entire gig. This demo doesn't show us what this axe can do. How about some real functional bass demos?
paul never jips you on the top thats for sure
If this is how he treats a guest, I would never want to work for the guy.
I can't believe they're using an Ampeg tube amp and going on about how 'flat' the tone is.
Misha Rosolak They're talking about how the EQ is flat. Everything is at the middle. Not that the tone is generic or unexpressive.
We're not hearing the amp at all. His signal is direct out of the Radial. The only people hearing the Ampeg are Paul and Gary.
"You have a ramp on there, which is a manual compressor." Haaaahaaahaaahaaaaaaaa! Really?
Sounds like a Ken Smith. Not my cup if tea for that much money.
"instrument"
Will not buy that bass they need to hear my basses Anita Jazz Bass the sound in our basses will make their basses sit down thats a fact. We have the same sound in our bass that Marcus Miller have people have ask us what do I have in my basses Thunder Thumbs Production they said that they are 10,000 basses who Lie to them.
The ONlY problem with PRS is Paul! Great instruments... douche of a dude. Unfortunately, likely also a contributing factor as to why his guitars and basses are cream of the crop! ⭐️🤷🏻♂️
It sounds horrible.
"C'mon Gary, can i get a little soft shoe? A little tappity tappity?"
