@@danielusa998 E ai! O Johnny customizou muita coisa, toca muito e tem um bom equipamento. Tenha em mente que o que vc comprar pode não ter o mesmo som! Mas se vc tiver a fim, não passe vontade!
Just installed the tone monster three band preamp ( 5 pots ) in my Standard yin yang and it really brought out the mids And my switch is mid cut now I love this bass
I love this video. I must say if this cheap base needs only a preamp, it might worth buying one. It looks pretty amazing. After changing the preamp, it sounds killer. Seriously, I may buy one.
I look at these every time I go on Aliexpress. This sounds great. I have thought about getting one and if I didn't like the sound using my preamp pedals to shape it like I like it.
Would you mind sharing what you spent altogether (on the axe before and after mods)? They really are great looking instruments Imo. Your vision for it is very impressive! =)
That funk got serious at 9:45 of the video.. now with that being said I've bought 2 of these joints already because when I do my gigs on the beach I don't want to take out my real Xotic 5, Sadowsky Metroline Express, nor my Fender Ultra 5/ real 74 Jazz Bass.. As for these I have the 5 string Purple Heart Ying Yang and the James Genius copy of his 1991 Monarch which I switch the pickups and electronics out with some Batolini J's I had laying around and a old glockenlang 2 band preamp and it sounds really damn good.. As for the Ying Yang electronics I replaced it with a used Ernie Ball preamp that I got of ebay and added some shielding and left the stock pickups in it because they sound really nice as you're demonstrating them now. both are played through the Gen 1 Aguilar TH500 and 2x12 Bergatino cabinet.. I have 0 complaints with these Chinese Joints ,,
Awwwwwe Daaangit! I had a bassgasm hearing this. I looove the sound of this bass. Eff American made instruments.. I'm buying one to play and im a drummer ha ha.....
Lookie hear j long prob one of my fav vids rt here I’m just starting out I’ve been a congero timbelro for 28 yrs but bass is the root lol u know rt on J long love your vids my brutha
Hello my friend , loved the video I’m just wondering if you could recommend some gold hardware the same or similar to yours as I order one of this bases and I like the gold look … thanks 🙏🏼
Hey, Johnny. Thanks for your videos. I have discovered something from you and others: To cover the basics. It can't be overemphasized! You hit on much stuff that beginners need to know! Square biz! I'm m 62, and I'm a amateur bassist, but I know how to throw down! Keeping it simple is our jobs as bassists . Even today, II'm still learning. To my fellow musicians let me say this to you: You are the supporting cast! Get it and recognize it. That's what bass is supposed to do! When it's time for you to flash, your moment will come. Be patient, and practice your craft. You'll do fine. Peace out bassists.
Shata ka-ka from Detroit my Bass Brother! I really enjoy the way you teach about basses, I want to be as informed as I can, so when I go to buy another Bass, I'll know more about what to look out for, And, your playing...SIR...You betta! Keep em' comin' from the Hobo-Depo! Peace
Sounds Killer. All the work you did to that bass made it come alive. Can you specify what type of EMG PJ set up that is? I know you mentioned that when you put them in initially, that the sound wasn't great.
You's a fool homey! But I like your playin, and I like the way that bass sounds. You could have given us the exact price tag but, that's okay we can research it. I definitely plan to purchase the 5-string model this Christmas. I do a lot of funk but, I also am hired to play many other styles, I'm hoping that it can give me a nice mid-range jazzy sound as well as a low less-defined tonal rumble for my rock and church gigs. Keep up the good work home flava! Your bass brother -Larreeex
Nice looking bass. I bought a Chinese bass a couple of years ago, the wood was really good everything else was junk. The fret work was the worst i have ever seen. I was one of the unlucky ones when it came to Chinese bass. I like your attitude, you made me laugh!
That gurl is SMMMOOOKKEENN!!!!! It sounds so sik!!!! How does it sound like that the tone monster? Them stock pickups right? What kind are they? Do you still own this bass?
It’s not cheap wood but it’s probably green. Builders like fodera season their woods for decades. Nothing will changed overtime because of that where the green wood will.
I visited this channel to learn more about Ali Express basses and to see a review of the bass, when he started playing I was making bass faces and enjoying the funk, I forgot why I came here! Love his style and energy!
Hey Johnny. I'm thinking about throwing down for 2 sets of the sbk-2 for a couple of my 90s Washburns xb-400's , one of which is fretless . Both bass's are active H-H and play better than anything I've ever owned . Low and butter soft . BUT ! … they both share a ugly thumpy slap tone , flat boring finger tone and , well I don't play with picks so that doesn't even matter . I have no experience modding electronics so I'm asking. In your opinion/ do you think my tone flaccidness (mid strong) comes from my standard Washburn electronics or pickups ? .And BTW , I do have other bass's to compare against so its not a amp issue . Cheers and love to hear your opinion .
Hey John i have an acoustic Ibanez bass that I’m starting on. Do you think I will be able to easily transition to an electronic one like that after i learn Motown and stuff?
Damn that thing sounds almost like a Geddy Lee bass. It has great top end and full bass is awesome. You do great work on everything you touch. Did you play that in church today?
Mr Long, I’m purchasing a yin yang clone in six string version. May I ask which Tone Monster you recommend. I’m looking at the SBK- 2 or the SBK-3D. Thanks
He is so funny and he make my day, and he is god playng on bass. Bro greatings from Transilvania.

Johnny Lee I love your videos and I love your playing. Both bring a smile to my face and I just want to say thanks!

Hey Johnny, You Is One Funky Bass Plunkin' Playin' Player, Bro!! You The Man, Bro!! :)
You look like a jazzy version of Willy Wonka who instead of bringing candy brings funk.
Hello my friend , loved the video I’m just wondering if you could recommend some gold hardware the same or similar to yours as I order one of this bases and I like the gold look … thanks 🙏🏼
Your tone and playing is way better than victor wooten, none need a overpriced junk to sound tasty, cool video!

Excuse me，sir. Can you tell me, where did you buy that please?
I have picked up a couple guitars from aliexpress and after the upgrades it was all good .
Funky looking dude, killer playing...Love it.
Sounds Killer. All the work you did to that bass made it come alive. Can you specify what type of EMG PJ set up that is? I know you mentioned that when you put them in initially, that the sound wasn't great.
This bass sounds awesome!!!
Sounds great whit that upgrade damm it ! it rocks

U got it on AliExpress is it?
I’ve seen those on Ali Baba. Are they licensed by Fodera?
Dam that bass sounds awesome!
Sounds great, I see you really like the Tone Monster I may have to check it out
I can listen to you play all day. Give me some pointers to reach your level. That bass sounds nasty! It’s great.
My Man Johnny L bringing the Funk! Yeah Baby!
Digging your spin on the bass joints... I do the same with JP/CHI Basses. I put all Aguilar pickups and preamp. My tone kills...
Mr. Long, you are the BEST!!
Nice looking bass. I bought a Chinese bass a couple of years ago, the wood was really good everything else was junk. The fret work was the worst i have ever seen. I was one of the unlucky ones when it came to Chinese bass. I like your attitude, you made me laugh!
Very good playin. Cheers from germany.
Wow that thing sounds awesome !!
Any suggestion to buy a china fake that's not a scam and where to buy it? Need a 6 string single cut
That gurl is SMMMOOOKKEENN!!!!! It sounds so sik!!!! How does it sound like that the tone monster? Them stock pickups right? What kind are they? Do you still own this bass?
She's a beauty.
The player flatters the bass. Dude is slamming!
That jacket is Beastly!
Pure Funky, old school terminology
It’s not cheap wood but it’s probably green. Builders like fodera season their woods for decades. Nothing will changed overtime because of that where the green wood will.
I visited this channel to learn more about Ali Express basses and to see a review of the bass, when he started playing I was making bass faces and enjoying the funk, I forgot why I came here! Love his style and energy!
You should try sticking the chinese fodera copy pickups in a real fodera and see how it goes.
I just love your enthusiasm man.
Great video. Can I ask, what is the string spacing at the bridge? 18 or 19mm? I can't seem to contact the company. Thanks.
excellent video!! I ask is the original pream or did you change it?
Where did you buy the Gold hardware ?
The Hat, Tie and creases in your pants. Jammin!!
Real! Good! Sound !
I currently really suck at playing bass so just where is this crossroad ive been hearing about?
I hear you can make a great deal.
Hi, thanks for all your videos, they are really helpful! Where can i buy a tonemonster preamp from?
Johnny I’ve been considering ordering a China Rickenbacker copy. Any suggestions on which buyer to consider
Woww...coooool breathes
Please tell me where you got that hat! I'd really love to have a black one
