Frank is the embodiment of Bass Face and is half the reason I watch this channel, make sure he knows that lol
He definitely has "Bace"
Totally agree!
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic 'Bace' 😅
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic How fitting, because it also has an "ace" in it.
@ ace of bass?
The best bass face on UA-cam. Those axes sound great.
Frank Itt basically invented the Bassface while playing.
Nickname Babyface
:C

I LOVE my two Modern Vintage basses! I have the 70s P and J, and the P in particular is now my main gigging P bass. Besides the amazing playability, and true vintage tone, the thing that makes it for me is they really nailed the 70s B neck profile. I can’t get comfy on those big, wide, flat 60s necks, no matter how nice the bass might be - I won’t play it. They modeled several 70s necks to come up with a perfect blend of dimensions. This is my favorite P bass neck ever, and surely the best sounding P I’ve ever owned - and I’ve owned a LOT of them!
The 70s J is also killer. I was sad that I sold my fantastic 74 J during Covid, but this one is intrinsically a much better instrument. There are no dead spots, the neck is perfect (no fret noise), and the instrument rings like a well-tuned bell. Fantastic!
Basically, Modern Vintage is making them the way Fender USED to. Before they used cheap neck wood and had to install graphite rods to keep their necks from instantly failing. Before “noiseless” pickups. Before “Hi-Mass bridges”. Before there was “MIM” or “CIJ”…. These basses feel like the original US Fenders of days gone by… but they are consistently great - Fender maybe hit “great” 1 out of 4 times. I HAVE played Fender style basses that rival Modern Vintage - Olinto, Alleva Coppolo, Nordstrand come to mind. Check the prices though. Those brands run upwards of 4k for a P bass. MV is under 2K! The quality/price ratio is definitely in favor of MV.
My man's bass stank face is on point.
😂
Stank face? Is that from the guy who came up with the useless ramp and Velcro wrap? Talk about money making gimmicks………
Hardcore stank face
Absolutely!
The '72 would give me that Geddy Lee 'Moving Pictures' sound I've been looking for.
Frank is the absolute king of Bass Face, that man is a complete beast of the low end and there's no doubt about it
Frank is playing! Any bass should sound good!
Gregor. The clarity of these basses. WOW!
I wonder if the recorded direct on to the audio interface or used a DI box 🤓 Super clean sound.
I had a '66 in red, and sold it. I loved it! Go to Marvin Gaye on Soultrain and see it.
I’m a true Frank Itt fan, I remember meeting and jamming with him back in 1983, while he was playing with “ Leaf” and the band “ The Touch”. He’s always been a beast on the bass and a all around cool guy.
As usual, I came for the daily bass fix and stayed for the bass face.
I NEED a T-shirt with Frank's BassFace! Otherwise, I could never even think of calling myself a bass player 😎
Frank's tune "Profilaxe" was a big reason for me getting into playing slap bass in the first place - awesome
I'm a big fan of the 70s bridge position especially when it's on active electronics, it has that distinct bite
Agreed!
Thank you Gregor and Frank.
Frank is puttin' it down! He spoke volumes through the basses!
These sounds really good! Also, love Franks Bass Face! We've all got one!
killer basses, love my MVP4-62
Grumpy German bassist was something I didn't know I needed to see today. He rules!
My first bass was from the Sears catalog. Loved it. Miss it.
If you met that guy on a boss level of a video game you would have no idea he was such a wonderful bass player.
Yeah you would - his special attack would be sonic! (You can tell the attack is coming because he does the BassFace right before slapping you DOWN!)
Frank is Way More than the King of "Bass Face", he IS BASS FACE and my girlfriend wants to dance with him if he's ever in Canada. Awesome absolutely awesome show and channel guys 😁
Can definitely see the neck issues with these basses. I bought a MV PBass model last year, and though I tough the bass sounds great, I came across similar issues. The frets needed leveling and the nut was way to high. Also the pickups were quite lose in there sockets… It could all be fixed, but took time, and of course some of the excitement.
I normally use Marleaux basses exclusively, never came across even one of those issues. Still think that these are great basses, but they definitely have to amp up there quality control.
The brand name "Vintage" was already confusing enough for search engines.
I love the sound of the 66. I hope they come out with Reliced versions in the future!
Give me $500 and borrow yours for a week, and I’ll “relic” it for you 😅
They actually sound vintage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Those basses sound GREAT!
You rock, Frank!
To have a good sound in a bass, you must also have the amp to go with the sound you are looking for. As for a really deep bass with smooth sound, the Kustom is the amp. For hard hitting amps, Fender and Ampeg are the ones.
It would have been nice to compare both basses with the same setting (bridge pickup).
That red Bass sounds amazing!
They sound great! And look amazing as well!
Dude, thumbs up to the base-face base player. He suffers along with his instrument as they pace through the notes together. Really cool.
Super great in-depth review of those Modern Vintage basses! Well done 😀
Great, I wanna grow old like Frank Itt!
Great sound.
God damn Frank has some savage bass face while playing!
Happy weekend guys
I wasn't prepared for this ol Deutsch dude to bring it like that
The bass face is strong with this one 😤
Still hankering after that Cort Elrick NJS-I feel like a stalker
Those modern vintage seem great, not really my thing but they look top drawer and sound great.
this was the perfect opportunity to compare bridge pickups in the same setting …what a shortcoming !
We’re recording the sound samples usually long before I make a concept what this video will actually be. You’re right, but when these „opportunities“ come up, it’s already too late
Me encantó!
Awesome video
Always a great video review!
Was the fret buzz the upper or lower frets Gregor?
These basses are Killer!! ❤😎👍🏼
My fender japanese marcus miller jazz bass sounds bad. Should I just change the pickups?
Love this guy's bass face!
Thanks
Frank got it going on!!!
Damn! Mortadela has skills and tone!!!
Sir!! Do they make a Precision model???
Too expensive when for a fraction of the price you could go for a Sire bass
I have a sire v7 vintage v2 and the modern vintage has a rather different sound - more grunt, punch. Maybe you could get there with different pickups on a sire. I like my sire and it’s tough to beat the value but might put some Delano or bassmods pickups in it to move the tone in this direction.
🤔... So, the steel shield is for trapping ring with the dual pickups ?
Yeah but where can I get these pick ups?
Man oh man alive, those there basses sound phenomenal shook me the core, gotta go 🚽 keep it funky😎
Uncle Frank dropping that funk
0:29 the guy is on fire! So groovy...
fine ! thank you
I listened VERY closely to this review because of how much Ed Friedland promotes these
Frank face is GOLD. You know if the product is good by looking at Frank's bass face. That's my indicator. No bass face from Frank ? I am not buying.
Allo guys not seen ya for a while Frank still got da chops then😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
PLeaaaase reveiw the 5 string version!
Your dad is a beast on bass !
:)
I hope get one but I haven’t money it is so expensive in my country
I may be able to play as bass as well as Frank, but I will never be able to bass my face as well as Frank. I much prefer the red one - love the multiple styles you can play with them.
From the headstock I thought it was another collab between elrick and cort 🤣
Quality bass face there😎
Why do they have sooo much string buzzing?
For a hot second I thought this was gonna be about Vintage (Trev Wilkinson) but it's Modern Vintage.
But which came first? Vintage or Modern Vintage?
oh my amazing bass face! cheers!
Looks can be deceiving, for sure. This German/Austrian-sounding bald man plays bass as soulfully as any funk bassist I’ve ever heard and I was playing music (drums) in the ‘70s, when I was a teenager. Sweet video!
Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊
Is there a video or will there be a video featuring that bassman rack in the background?
not yet and I'm not planning to do anything with it atm
Hi Gregor! Can you tell me what strings you had on these basses when you recorded them?
We used the stock strings. Not sure what Modern Vintage uses
Frank for president
The dark one has lots of buzz
modun & windage?
i love wintage bass
4:01 Wozu ist dieses Teil gut?
Me gusta suenan genial pero me gustaría isieran de 5 cuerdas
Frank Itt?? Never heard of him, bit he GROOVES.
I'm here for the great Maestro ITT, since I can't afford any Gear. Wish I had him in my band.
Devil's Horn = Dio
BassFace = Frank
great
Show!
That bass face!
I hate to say it, but a lot of the guys doing bass reviews/unboxings don't have a solid pocket. Which is weird. The playing here is done with a solid meter. Simple, yet funky and satisfying.
The 70s one has MAJOR neck alignment/bridge position issues. The G string is barely on the board.
that might be the perspective. the bass is still here and the alignment looks good
0:10 vintage German face.
Pai e filho, hein. Bonito ver a família unida…
Lol .
What strings are you using on these basses?
We recorded with their regular stock strings. Not sure what they were
high level bass face
Frank the Tank on Bass
Jenifer Rush-basman
There should be a Frank Bass Face video game.
best face ever JAJAJ
BassFace......engage!
Doesn't look like they're nitro which is a bummer in my opinion. Like wearing through the finish on nitros
