    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.

    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 ,,

    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.

    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

    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 .
