That intro though.
It's you!
Fender HMU if you want to give me a jazz bass please. I’m 12 and have been playing for about 7 months and I’m saving up, but maybe you guys wanna help me out 😉
It would be awesome if you make a contemporary HH with 24 frets.
Dont try to be the wendy's of youtube
@@BeezusCripes did you ever get a Jazz Bass?
I feel like Squier has become keenly aware of how Sire is encroaching on their market share and this is their response.
Will Jackson I was thinking the same thing.
I will always love Fender for pioneering so many innovations in music and bass guitar, BUT for the money Sire basses have been doing really well. I love my V3 and I have an M2 on the way. Until Fender/Squier announced these basses I haven't seen anything comparable in the price range other than maybe the VM Jazz basses.
I've had several Squiers en recently sold my Sire V7 and I think you're right. For a start the hardware is way better on Squiers, knowbs are mounted the right way and the fretworks is better.
And I’m ok with their response. More competition is better for us the consumer. Better quality. Better sound. Better price. WIN!
@Toxic Potato they weren't when they 1st hit the market...checkout the video clips on my page when you get a sec
I've long thought about starting a band with two basses. This series makes me feel more and more like it could work.
Todesnuss Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Ivan Neville and Dumpsterphunk, New Orleans.
Todesnuss check out The Omnific for some prog with two bassists
Molotov from Mexico
A Reminder from Los Angeles
Loving the look of these, can't wait to get my hands on them. Now I have another choice for my next guitar/bass, the possibilities are endless
This bass is awesome, it has good tone and clean humbucking sound. I am really satisfied with my Squier Contemporary Active Jazz Bass it is really a nice instrument.
whoa. These basses rock! love the tone possibilities.
Hi Lee, great to meet you in Andertons today. Andertons has a great buzz, really enjoyed playing all those tasty guitars. Keep up the good work, Paul
Monster playing guys, that's a fantastic improv duet!!
Amazing bass. I play in a Prince Tribute band and Prince’s music covers a WIDE range of genres. Funk, Rock, R&B, Pop... this bass does it all. I only wish that I got the 5 string instead of the 4 string.
Keep it true funky... Prince hated 5 strings. Lol! take that pick guard off and replace with gold hardware... (STYLE 4 days)
These basses have incredible tone and you guys are killing it!
This is where you start kids...these absolutely rock especially as an entry instrumental
Can't believe this iconic bass intro was half a decade ago. Still a banger.
Nathan is a monster player.
Yes, he is an incredible player. Overshadowed by the fact his brother is a legendary player but Nathan is an absolute beast.
Rock Metal Fiend His brother is mark king from level 42. Check out videos from UA-cam he is considered in the same class with geddy lee, claypool, flea, and many other contemporary players.
Mark King in Level 42 :)
He also plays guitar in Level 42. Multi talented fellah!
Wow, I didn't know that Nathan is Mark King's brother! :O Always loved his playing though and the bass videos in general!
Play dat funky music !!! It was an absolute pleasure listening to you two!
Fantastic playing boys! Cool new basses too
Congrats I'm pretty sure you all are the 1st to show these off.
love it! You guys absolutely rock!
that jam at the start was amazing
Really digging the white 4 string! Definitely want to try these dudes out when I get the chance!
Damn, that white 4-String is a thing of beauty! Jazzbass shape with active humbuckers is right up my alley!
The white jazz bass looked really beautiful I'd love to have one of those.
I have that one and it is great.
I play flats on the one I just picked up......it sounds like a MONSTER!!!!
these and the vintage modified jazz with the maple body are great basses. with 500 you have powerhouses, i like that fender stays at the classic designs while squier does the risky and different stuff
Bought the white one two weeks ago !and it is a heavy but awesome beast of a bass!highly recommended !way better than my sire v7 .... those Pickups Sound absolutely Killer! Thanks for the great video guys!
Weight?
@@deniurovic6144 mine is one of the first out. weight is around 5.8 kg
@@TheCrusader1099 ughhh.. Tnx
Beautiful basses!
You guys are awesome! And i like this new acitve Jazz
I love these videos. I just wish the audio was bit better equalized between the DI and the speaking audio.
Great vid as usual. How about a rundown of bass octave pedals, MXR, TC, Boss, Aguilar etc
The five string Squier Contempoary is a seriously mighty upgrade from the earlier active five string 15 years ago. Great tight jam too!
That jam is awesome.
Espectacular, saludos desde Paraguay
New Squiers = Pretty damn nice. Thanks for the video.
So saw one in a store got hooked up with a 25w orange amp the tone is an absolute killer and the orange just compliments it.
The orange crush?
@@thomasoneill4386 yeah
Love the intros before the talks.
Crazy finger works!!
Tengo una gran pregunta cuál tiene sonido más espeso y más claro el Jazz bass classic 70v o el Jazz bass contemporary?
Those guys are havin' a really good time. Wonder what's in those mugs.
Finally a video that gets a decent tone out of a bass!Moving beyond that cellphone bass sound!
what kind of drum machine is used?
I don't know, I'm not really convinced... I mean I love the look (matching headstock!!), not so much the sound and the biggest problem for me is that I won't be able to buy better pickups so... Either you love it straight away or not. Also I would have loved a mat finish on the 5 strings too!
what kind of amazing music is this that they are playing at the begining?
Great video! And yes, it should be iNAMM.
Guys!!! Awesome videos!! I would like you to make a review of the ibanez tmb100 tmb105 and tmb 505 all those talman bass series the 505 is a monster!! Thank you!!
1:22 is my favourite part. I like fast playing but this bit sounds the best.
I was in Townsville, Australia with the USAF BAND of the Pacific/Asia for the VP 60 Celebration in Queensland. 2004
In Canada the Active Contemporary are only available in flat black and flat white not gloss black. The flat looks pretty bad ass in black with the matching headstock though. I've been anti-Fender for years, until I stumbled across a Squier VM Active Jaguar Bass... Several followed since, including a couple Fender Deluxe Active Jazz basses. I do love the active models and I definitely want to add a black Active Contemporary IV to my Squier family, they look awesome! I also have a Fender Rumble Studio 40 amp. It is a very underrated amplifier for the price and sounds great! The built in effects are cool but unnecessary, what I like about it are the different amp profiles. I've played Ampeg amplifiers most of my life and it has a very convincing Ampeg style sound coloration with great input tube saturation sound of a tight 12AX7(Newer Pro series) not a 12DW7(Classic 70's SVT). I could only assume that the other profiles would be as close if not closer than the Ampeg... They do profile their own amps as well, let's hope they get it right.
Boys...that was smoking!!!! As usual Nathan got some chops so good, should be downright illegal!!! Lovely improvements on the new Squires.
Said it before but I would very much appreciate a video comparing the squier and fender jaguar basses against the ibanez tmb 100 and 600
I need to get that 5-string!
The black headstock is sick
If these catch on I wouldn't be surprised if a Fender Player version gets released.
F0dd3r I hope so
F0dd3r it's done, fender flea signature model... Active pickups and preamp
No it's not. The new Flea sig has 1 MM style humbucker. These have 2 humbuckers.
+1 to Rumble series amps. Fantastic value and convenience.
I have the impression that the Sire V7 would be the better choice. If only for the active/passive switch and for the looks.
Wish they had more colour variety, but still, this basses kick ass!
Are the Pickups active? Or just the preamp?
Never knew that Jay from Half in the bag was such a great bassist!
Haha! Gotta love Jay! So.. is this replacing- .. no, I won't go there.
How is the slap tone?
Muito bom demais
You demo'ed me into buying one. Black 5 string on order. 👍
Lawrence Genereux is it a good bass I might buy it ?
These are the only guitars in the Contemporary line that don't visually turn me off. I can't get into the matching head stocks on the 6 strings.
Whats that thing over the mark bass amp in the video pls?
Man! If that bass makes my fingers move like that, I'm buying 4 of them today!
These have a very stingray-ish sound to them
Great sound Basses but that type of tone isn’t my cup tea however for those who like that Sting ray type tone then you would probably take a look at this bass
What amazes me is my eyes see a jazz bass while my ears hear a StingRay! Incredible! I need to get the 5-string version!
But only when played on the bridge pickup
@@yisa3615 Correct! I didn't specify that!
Keith Copeland just saying
Lee, your playing is going from the sublime to the ridiculous. What band(s) do you play in? I'd love to hear what you do when you're not doing this.
Man I'm so bummed, bought this bass from a local shop and the neck rod was broken so I had to return it. Wish I would've gotten the chance to play it!
hey, very good video.
Would you recommend this over sire v3 or v7?
Thank you!
nekem volt sire de nem szerettem, más hangja van a single coil pickupoknak. már választottál?
Are they have same size pickups?
How about a Captain meets Mark King. I'm a guitarist but loved level 42 since the 80's. Maybe Nathan could interview him, would be fascinating.
Natham IS Mark King’s younger brother…
I think I have a new front runner for my next bass
6:32 - "And on that bombshell..." Did I just head a Top Gear reference?!
I wish they did the V in white.
Chris Cuthbertson Youre in luck because they do! in a matte white finish
they dont
Paint it
@@unicornpoo7441 ...they actually do...I have one.
@@jackieclark8253 THey literally do not make the 5 string in white.
The blue one rocks
Nice basses. But jeeez, those guys where intense:)
Could You describe the rig You've used for? And about wheight? How much did they are heavy?
Ash bodies, heavy.
white and black bass looks smooth operator.........
Squier kicks ass
How bout a 5 string in white matte ?? 🤔 I want one
Should I get the Contemporary J Bass or the Vintage Modified? I’ve tried and liked both but I can’t decide.
Seamus That’s the dog It depends obviously.
I myself prefer passive electronics because it’s easier to upgrade and mod and it’s more expressive, active basses all sound the same to me.
These contemporary basses are AWESOME!!! I have only one, unfortunately.
Will they work without batteries?
That treble boost was a bit nasty, but other than that, sounds pretty good!
Go on my son.... why aint these guys playing in the andertons backing tracks.. B-)
Can I have permission to jam over this and upload to youtube please ? :)
Gents, how much does the 5'er weigh?
Gee, thanks guys. You've given me GAS for that stunning blue metallic model. A fairly inexpensive passive bass would nicely fill a gap in my arsenal.
I would like to see a mosrite style guitar shootout
Are the jams getting longer?
Looks like a cool mod platform.
I see that musicman cup lee😁😁🥰🤘❤
are they good?
I need those humbuckers ... BADLY!
why did they use poplar on the 4 string jazz and ash on the active, should have done both in ash and tweaked the price instead.
Tell me about the Kemper.
If they release a Contemporary PJ Jag bass with a full scale neck they can just take my money
OMG, the junkyard dog teaches the young dog. I'm so impressed as the young dog knows what he's doing.
Just wondering why you have separate videos for the different departments in Andertons, but not for the bass. I know it's kind of with the guitar section, but at the same time it's a very different instrument.
Matt Elliott it's for the views mate. Making a new channel just for bass wouldn't be profitable
Just wondering what's the problem here...? It's not a very different instrument at all, same construction, different approach to playing, that's why they have actual bass players playing it. It makes total sense to have it in the same channel. And even if it didn't make sense, who the hell cares?
A lot of folks, myself included, play both.
No problem really, just wondered why they decided not to split them up. More of a random question that floated through my mind
Are they going to make a Contemporary Precision Bass? They released the Strat ones out but we should get a bass that should match with the Strat under the same series.
Contemporary PJ bass. I want it
Not yet. Hopefully soon. Fender uses p bass as old school which is bullshit. They put more thought into the jazz bass models. Jazz bass even has more variations.
Joe_1984 Jazz bass is better in my opinion and it has more versatility
Update: I’m getting the 5-string black and white Jazz Bass like the one in this video. I got a used 2018 model and I should be getting it by the end of this week. I see a lot of decent reviews about this bass, hopefully I can do some funky slapping on it.
They finally did last year.
great playing guys!..sound nice but build quality on these particular 2018 models is really cheap! I bought one and returned the same day. The pots are garbage and mounted directly on the wood (no metal or at least plastic plate). If not handled carefully you can hit one of the pots and crack the thin wood. I also found the tuners to be very cheaply made. It did sound nice but I want something that will hold up and this wasn't it.
I would get this in fretless.
Are there any basses that don't feature an excessively tapered "jazz" neck?
Something like Stanley Clarkes alembic, without the ££££ tag?
I had the idea of buying a bass vi and converting it to four strings...Nice sounding pickups and any 'proper' neck.
Squier PJs are a bit wider, as are other brands’ Ps. Musicman are chunky too, but that may be it.
try Vintage . They make a Jazz with a 42mm nut.
this is absolutely a stupid question but is it possible to play the active basses without batteries installed? because as far as i know these don't come with active pickups, it's just the pre-amp that needs the battery, right?
The Mediocre long story short, no. The battery powered preamp sends the signal to the output jack, and no batteries means no signal being sent. You *can* look into installing an “active/passive switch” to bypass the preamp and just send the pickups to the output jack... I’m not sure what the electronics look like so taking it to a guitar tech would be your best bet. Probably wouldn’t cost too much to have done. Hope that helps!
