Green Day's Mike Dirnt on his signature Precision Bass | Fender
/ fender
This just shows Mike Dirnt's versatility as a bass player. He's not just some lazy ex-guitar player who thinks he can play bass, he actually knows what he's doing and he makes sure every bassline he writes kicks ass.
No one in Green Day really ages.
But Mike looked like 50 since he was 20
Tomber666 mmmmm no
Tomber666
No he doesn't xD he looks his age.
So he doesn't age
He looks like 47 when he is 32 lol
Fast forward to 2021 and now look at Trè Cool lmao
Under-rated bassist.
Best bassist in punk rock i agree hes totally underated
tacokiss3 That could be argued with the bass player in Rancid though. Listen to the song Detroit by them and the song Maxwell Murder. Maxwell Murder has a bass solo, as well, which is pretty cool. You can't really judge who's the best though, because Mike Dirnt plays such simple bass lines in Green Day songs when Rancid's bassist does faster and more complex ones. But based on this video and some other interviews, Dirnt seems to be a really amazing bass player. Until they get into a room together and have a bass-off, there's really no judging on who's the best!
Lars from Rancid is a sick bassist, probably the best in punk. Maybe followed by Fat Mike. Skinny Mike (as in Dirnt) isn't as good as them, but he has his own style where he manages to make things funky from within the rhythmic confines of punk (fast) rock. His live bass line for Paper Lanterns is funky as hell and the whole song is based on (essentially) straight 16th notes.
As a drummer I appreciate that kind of thing.
glimpus Lars is not bass player in Rancid, You are talking about MATT FUCKIN FREEMAN! I loved and love green day but i've gotta say this. Matt Is the best bass player in the world
My bad.
He's a better bass player than given credit for
In 1994 I bought my first bass after renting a couple. I was ten years old, bought it with the money I saved from delivering newspapers. I used to get home from school, go right to my room and play along with Dookie. This had a huge influence on my playing and Mike Dirnt will always be one of my biggest bass inspirations.
P basses rock
Mike is one of the greats
People say flea is the greatest bassist ever well mike is equally if not better in my opinion .
Mike and fender basses equal great combo
Flea is still best bassist
Both overrated of where talkin bout solid and complex basslines look to Steve Harris.
Ok ok i do think mike is a great player, but flea It’s a whole different level
You can not compare Flea and Mike
Victor. Wooten. Easy
I just want some action so gimme MIKE DIRNT!
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
Drinking game: every time he says solid take a shot
Nathan Braswell he only said solid 3 times that's a pretty weak drinking game.
John Paul Jones and Mike Dirnt are my two favorite bassists, however different their styles!
they have one of those signature p-basses in my music classroom
Steal it
Awesome
Steal it
Jona Dronkert id steal it
I'd buy it from the school.
I own this exact model second hand, and it is a powerhouse!!!! Just as Mike says here, the pickups are hot and loud. Recently had it worked on to adjust the neck and action, and slapped flat wounds on it, and it sounds amazing.
It’s true!! I have 3 of them, one of the Squiers and 2 of the Fenders and wildly the Squier was SO hot compared to the Fender ones. I A-B-C’d them all with each other and to even get a clear signal between the 3 on the recording I had to turn down my output volume to the interface
I want to hear more from Mike he's really fun to listen to
Mike is an amazing player. He's really what got me into playing bass 3 years ago,and he's my biggest inspiration. I could see him making his own solo album later on in life. He'd be like sting was. They even have the same signature bass "model" hahaha :P
He plays the bass part of “Reject” (Nimrod, 1997) at 1:29... love it!
I love Reject. Glad he played did a tiny snippet of that. Very underrated.
bassists I enjoy listening to
overall:Geddy Lee- sheer musicianship and tone
Finger style:John Enthwistle-listen to any of his side stuff, plus all that classic Who
pick style: Mike Dirnt and Dustin Davidson (August Burns Red)
Mike Dirnt for groovy bass lines and helping accentuate Billie's playing
Dustin Davidson for being the anchor and undertone for modern metal mastery
Slap bass: Les Claypool and Flea
Les Claypool-Just listen to anything Primus
Flea-any questions?!?
Iv got this bass, its a keeper, amazing tone and feels great to play, and really does sound like a Monster!! lol
YOU SIR, INSPIRED ME TO PLAY BASS! YOU ARE A LEGEND, YOU HELPED ME FIND A WAY TO EXPRESS MYSELF AND FIT IN, THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU MIKE DIRNT!
I have NEVER even touched a bass but i am sooooo getting this bass!!
Ok so Mike is the person that inspired me to learn bass. The one I got is a sunburst squire p bass. Just found out his first bass was a sunburst p bass and he plays squires. I could not be happier with this discovery :)
Mike Dirnt slapping! I want more of this!
People, don't judge Mike, or his bass.
Just watch the interview (:
My opinion: Mike is awesome
Mike Dirnt is a way better bassist than people makes him out to be. He's just amazing!
Mike Dirnt looks hot in this one...
He plays Reject at 1:28 :D
PigmyRhino o
Of Nimrod
Happy Birthday, Mike!!! From Latvia, Golden Rivet band :)
MY EVERYTHING
Watching this video just makes me wanna pick up a bass and learn to play
love mike and love this interview
hiS CHUCKLES ARE SO CUTE AND PURE I LOVE HIM HE’S LITERALLY MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION AND I LOVE H.I M
0:55 Love it!!
Mike Dirnt!!
this bass looks like a really long neck! How can a bass like gthis make such a loverly low sound? Great design!
DL.
X
i never get sick of this video, watch it time and time agan and always smiling when he talks :D
i have this bass and i love it. Have played many others but nothing beats it.
I'll be getting this bass pretty soon. It's only $249 on Amazon, and what makes me more happy is that I'm a huge Squier fan :)
Holy shit, I totaly agree with him on the Telebass thing. That's why I bought one, and with a single coil, not the split humbuckers.
sick slapping at the ending
He ltilts the bass up/down a total of 20 times
Awesome bassist and bass
Mike is actully a kick-ass bass player, he should make some bass solos like he used to like in Longview,Chump,Welcome to paradise and the song from insomniac stuart & the ave
damn i want this bass even more now. They have the strat style pbass for the same price, but i like the body type, the custom star, the tone, and i dig mike's bass lines.
I saw his first bass yesterday in Berlin at the HARD ROCK CAFE.
It's so beaten up!
Legend
my mike D p-bass is on the way from the us, cant frickin WAIT :)
Thank You Mike!!!!!!
I got one of these, and it is awesome!!!!!!
I don't like Green Day, but Mike Dirnt was one of my influences growing up. The only reason I use a pick for bass. Other than that, I use Geddy LEe technique
he's a great bassist but I really appreciate bassists who don't use a pick more. but I can see he can play with his thumb too and Green Day does have badass bass lines
I have that bass but in the white color. It's so amazing!
I never said it was the best, just amazing
@leonoff89 because tre broke the G-3 (not the grabber but pickups aside its 100% the same) during the nimrod era. and so then they went out to get a replacement for it and he got a 60's p-bass, and then they became his favorite bass. before the signature model was designed he would mostly play old p-basses (usually 60's) that he changed the pickups in (to seymour duncan antiquity p bass pickups), and would put a badass II bridge on
Even though in early videos for like longview and what not, he used his Gibson G3 in the videos, but he used a precision bass for every album from dookie to Uno, Dos, Tre (to be released)
Looking at the specs of this bass, both the Fender-Mexico and Squier versions, it surprises me that Fender isn't prominently advertising its best feature: The neck profile, and nut width, are essentially right between a thicker/wider Precision Bass and a thinner/narrower Jazz Bass.
I own a different bass with a similar kind of neck - and it feels perfect.
I didn't know a SQUIRE was his signature bass until I saw this vid I already owned a squire bass special, it surprised me he used a squire, that's so fuckn' cool man
mike is fucking amazing. all of green day is.
Got one of those Basses, worth every god danm penny!
I've got an Fender American Standard Precision bass, and it sounds 100% like Mike Dirnt's Telecaster/Precision bass. :-)
I love Precision and Telecaster Basses!!
@SecretSpyAgent12 hes saying "cuttaways", which are contours in the body that make it more comfortable to play, because telebasses like the one i bought are "slabs" and have no contours, so, from the way he plays, the side of the bass would digging into his arm.
He needs to use the bass line at 1:28 in a Green Day song!!!
That's Reject. It's on Nimrod
He played a Gibson Ripper for a while, I didn't see him play a Fender till he played with Screeching Weasel if i'm not mistaken
Holy shit??!?!?! Why doesnt he play some damn bass solos out with green day???? Come on dude! I didnt know he was this shit awesome!
I love his little laugh at 3:08 lol
i really like him, it's amazing and i love his face at 2:47 LOL XD
i dont get why hoppus makes best bassists lists dirnt blows him out the fucking water
damn this got in my recommendations i didnt thought it was 11 years ago
Mike is so damn talented! And that bass is absolutely beautiful!!
getting it for christmas
really?
@5thseasonnmbr2 They're called harmonics. Certain spots across the fretboard that resonate if you put your finger right on the fret but not push on it. Harmonics are the clearest on places like the 12th fret and the 5th fret.
He is the reason why I just bought my first bass today.
i agree with him about the telebasses, and that is why i bought a tele bass (yes, one of those slab bodied, single coiled, vintage styled fender japan ones), and yes, they're cool as shit.
man , theres no better bass player .... hes awesome
what i like about him is he never brags about how good he is, he just plays.
that solo at 3:25 was fucking amassing holy shit
the way he talks and laughs reminds me of Max Headroom
Either way he has a custom shop Fender lol. And I must say , some of the higher end Squiers actually sound incredible
I love the little laughs he makes like at 3:10
the best bassist in the world for me
Love how it was a gift from Billie
Mike is fucking amazing.
this man..... invited me on stage at there concert
@TWoehrer He was actually doing his walking bassline pretty well. I think he probably knows how to play different styles. It's just that all we hear is his recorded stuff. He's probably isn't "elite" but like you said, he solid for what he does.
im so glad that he plays a squier p bass and not the fender version of it :) £500 for his signature edition, have to get it :D
Then do it! Great instrument, lots of fun to learn.
Mike should slap on some Green Day songs.
Damn...He's the best bass player you can find...and I like the harmonics at the start.
@3dorksters he's the bet bassist of all time, in every type of music!! M.D Rocks!!
The best bass player in the story and an amazing solo at 1:29
i like the sound, and i like it heavy
3:24 MIKE DIRNT SLAPS DA BASS?!?! HOLY SHIT!!!
mike is pretty awesome at slapping
mike
Proud To BE A Squeir User :D
@GamerMan57 yea youre right he did have g3 not a grabber i watched some old greenday clips and payed attention to the pups which points to a g3 lol wierd that i didnt notice that before
i got this bass in antique white it sounds incredible and it was like 200 buck. i think it sounds way better than my friend fender p-bass but thats just me, and
"it looks cool shit" Mike Dirnt.
, honestly if i didnt start listening to green day i never would of played bass but now i love it
Mike Dirnt might not be the best like slap bass amazing whatever but hes by far my favorite bassist, and i would say hes the best
best bassist best band.
Mike Dirnt, Green day
hes my favourite bassist
He's REALLY good. Probally best bass player right now
More artists should do videos like this, anyone agree?
He actually uses the squier a lot, watch the bullet in a bible videos, and quite a few other like vids. I have this bass and love it!
he knows his stuff on bass....cool
Im not a bassist... but im a guitarist... im gonna buy this damn bass
@alexizkoolest the 200 one, it's a squier. :) the 800 is the fender
