To the best of my knowledge Swing Basses make the basses in Korea and sent to California where the QS and PLEK happen.

Thanks very much appreciated, there is a great bassist who thought me a few things many years ago, his name is Rael Westley Grant, I'll will get you his connection info, he is truly a beast on bass, Its all about have a good melodic lyrical vocabulary and imaginative concepts, .most of it comes from listening to pianist guitarist violinist and various types of melody instrument, it give you a wide spectrum of ideas and concepts.

Thanks very much appreciated

Thanks! very much appreciated,

Happy New Year to you, thanks very much appreciated, my concept on playing melodic lyrical melodies, is to listen to various styles of music and singers, and horn and piano players, it gives my bass playing a wider spectrum of the music, I'll do vid to explain how I approach melodies on the bass,

Thanks a lot brother I would really appreciate it

Thanks very much appreciated, it's a cheap fretless fender jazz bass, I bought on eBay a few years ago, it has a Japanese Alder body and a Mexican fretless neck, the pickups are generic stock fender jazz bass pickups, it's all passive no preamp, I'm also using a 1989 Hartke 350 amp and and a Hartke 4.5XL cab with a tweeter, for the high end and harmonics.

On Good Morning Heartache, I use the 96% of the bridge pickup and 4% of the neck pickup, it give me a big full tone when playing melodic melodies, the vintage 1989 Hartke amp has 4 ten inch speakers, in my opinion it give you a big huge tone when playing melodies and harmonics,, on this bass I'm using fender string 45- 100 gauge.

Thanks very much appreciated

Thanks! Very much appreciated

Thanks very much appreciated

Yes I do have the Bass Mods K6, I'm getting some work done on the preamp, so that's why I've not played it on any videos, as soon as the work is completed I'll post a few videos.

@@lennmendoza5130 please do I'm interested to see how the high C string behaves

Darrel thanks very very much for your kind comment, actually I'm using fender woundround bass strings, gauges 40 -100 I'm also using a very old 1989 Hartke 410 4.5XL cab and a vintage Hartke 350 bass amp, this was recorded at my church, my string setup is a little high on the FRETBOARD so it gives the bass a huge big fat tone, I'll do a Bass review on my fretless jazz bass soon, thanks very much appreciated

Thanks very very much for kind comments, very much appreciated

Barry White never gonna give you up, it was recorded in a friend of mine BBQ backyard jam session, sorry for the short video,

Thanks, very much appreciated, I love playing melodies on bass, it's a good way of training your ear to hear various intervals, and it's also helps the player understand the chord progression, however though I'm still not satisfied with the outcome, but I just have to keep working on my playing to improve it, the journey to becoming a good musician is a endless one.

Thanks, very much appreciated

Looks like a church.

This video was recorded at my church, I'm not using any pedals. On my bass, it's all passive, the church has very high ceilings, the amp I'm using is a 1989 Hartke 350 head and a hartke 4.5XL cab, it has a really nice tone.

Thanks very much appreciated

I'm still working on twerking the tone just a little more, this bass mods K6 uses Aguilar pickups and preamp, the setup is a little differ from 5 string, as soon as work out a few tone issues I'll post a few more vids.

to MrTruetwin: He sounds great! I like cool bass grooves.

Thanks! Very much appreciated

to Basszillajay: This guy sounds great on bass. He makes the bass sing!

Thanks! very much appreciated, on this vid I'm using a vintage 1989 Hartke 7000 amp and a Hartke 4.5XL cab, it's 29 years old, but I like the sound, I'm also using D'Addario XL medium gauge strings 128 -45.

@@lennmendoza5130 thank you for your detailed answer. We don't change a winning team

@@evolutiaclassic8805 you are welcome, it's all about being humble and helping each other grow as musicians.

Thanks very much appreciated

to ESCOInstrumentals: This is very “nice.” This is what I like to hear. Smooth bass grooves with a little flavor.

Thanks very much appreciated

to Bradley Parker: You're right. The tone is very nice!

Yes! The reason I haven't used it on most of videos, it has a preamp Issues, the preamp.needs to be re-wired, however though it's a great bass, with many festures.

@@lennmendoza5130 I have a Carvin fretless 5-string that I would like to donate to you it is a really awesome Bass and you are a good player and I don't play fretless!

@@MuammarHamed you also email me at lenn1222@yahoo.com, I'm a huge Jazz Bass fan, my first bass was a fender P Bass, but after I heard Larry Graham and Marcus Miller play bass I switch to the JAZZ bass, I'm planning to buy one more bass mods JAZZ bass.

to MrTruetwin: Everybody likes Bass Mod. They're taking over the bass market. This guy sounds great on the Bass Mod.

@@stefanrobert5233 I recently purchased a bass mod jazz bass oh my God they're amazing

Thanks very much appreciated

to Hijau Muda: This is “very nice.” He plays beautiful melodies on the bass. He doesn't just do grooves.

That's truly correct, great song by Frankie Beverly

@@lennmendoza5130 wow that's a really nice 6-string when did you get it? In some of your previous videos I noticed you playing a 5-string bass mod

@@MuammarHamed I recently bought this Bass Mods K6 a few months ago, a local guitar store was going out of business, it has a few issues with the Aguilar op3 preamp, it's not wired correctly, I haven't been using it, but I'm going to have it set up correctly.

@@lennmendoza5130 not sure if you're familiar with the company but I have a Carvin 6 string bass I love the high C String it's excellent for playing melodies! That Bass mod k-6 is a beautiful bass hope you're able to get it all dialed in correctly! who knows you might make it your main go to bass!

@@MuammarHamed thanks, I'm also working on buying another used bass mods k534 , as a back up bass, I like there quality and craftsmanship.

to Gotta Love Piano: Merry Christmas to you too. And thank you for saying “Merry Christmas” not “happy holidays.”

Thanks very much appreciated, on your comment

Thanks very much appreciated, the fender jazz bass I'm playing is a cheap japanese fretless jazz bass, I bought a few years ago, it's all passive, with a Alder tone wood body, I'm using a Hartke vintage 7000 Amp with a Hartke 4.5XL cab.

@@lennmendoza5130 It sounds great brother! Sometimes inexpensive instruments sound just as good as the high dollar stuff! I like your playing style you think like a horn player! Lots of bass players never touch the melody to anything they stick strictly to the bass line! Which is cool! I tried to learn the melody first it helps me better understand the bass line! And what is actually happening in the song! Try to post some instructional videos of what you're doing exactly it would be beneficial to a lot of bass players you don't have to be technically sound with all of the musical verbage for people to understand!

@@MuammarHamed thanks, a million, I'm working on buying some better video software applications to improve my videos.

@@MuammarHamed thanks, I'll work on a few instructional video that will breakdown my approach to melodies over chord changes, most of my comes from listening to various styles of music, I try not to base my concept on just bass players, I listen to piano players and various instruments, it gives the player a wider spectrum of the music.

Hi, I just wanted to give you a few more info on the Bass Mods bass, you also check Bass Mods online store, and also reverb.com online store, Bass Mods will be doing a Novermber & Christmas sale, so can email Robert Lemas @ Bass Mods and he will give you a list of what he has in stock at the California store, I suggest buy a bass with a maple Finger Board, and a ash body tone wood body, ash give you a really nice tonal spectrum of a varieties of tones, and it also durable for all weather is. Get one with either bartolini jazz pickups and preamp.

Thanks, very much appreciated

Thanks, very much appreciated

Thanks, very much appreciated, it's a cheap japanese fretless jazz bass body, with a mexican jazz bass neck, the body is alder, it's all passive no preamp, stock fender pickups, and I'm using fender medium gauge strings, I'm also using a vintage Hartke 7000 amp and Hartke 4.5XL cab

Thanks, very much appreciated,

And that's not a jaco sound. No where close. Jaco plays fretless😭

Jaco also played a fretted bass....on the exact song he was playing....sires are the best basses out...not for the money ...they compare to American fender
