Well... there's a rumor going around that - yes, 3 of Fender's Board members do play bass guitar. One of them plays a Gibson Thunderbird; one plays an Alebmic Orion; and one of them plays a Rick 4003...😆
I've learned so much from Dave's channel! I wish he was closer so I could ship my basses to him. Hello from the almost great white north! Brent, VT USA
Beautiful bass guitar but thats the most static I ever heard come out of a guitar 4:58 lol that you were getting ready to bring back to life. Anywho, enjoy the rest of the Autumn Dave.
Dave, you & I are in total agreement about the Fender truss rod access & that ball-end on the wrench! I wish they would put the adjuster at the headstock on ALL of them & be done with it!!!
We also had our first real snow here in Central Wisconsin. The roads were terrible, but people weren't driving like idiots (at least from what I saw...
Fuck me - glad you're Canadian - middle class English person with some punk heritage (thanks Dad)! Feeling some synergy with you across the pond : ) Thank you for all of your videos - I've used many of them - you're the best at putting things simply relative to cost / just saying it's a lost cause... Your back seems better and I'm really glad for that. As an aside - I did ask a long technical question once and your answer was just 'no' - made me laugh : )
I have the regular 60th Anniversary American Standard Precision bass and it's a great one. My favorite thing about it is that the body is 1/16 of an inch smaller all the way around which make's it more comfortable to play than any other Precision bass I've played. That one there was the fancier one that you just perfected though.
I was confused until I realized this was celebrating 60 years of the Precision, not 60 years of Fender (my 60th Anniversary Jazz bass is 2006). I've always wanted this style of p bass. Alas I don't think there's any reissues that are a little more reasonably priced, or at least I never see 'em, and the "telecaster bass" models just don't have the right vibe. So far I've been considering a Schecter Model T, but I'll have to play one first.
Another 60th Anniv. Jazz player! Hell yeah, brother! That's the first nice guitar I ever bought myself and one I will own forever. What a treat that thing is to play; it just goes!
Yep, I agree…why Fender? I guess “vintage” means it has to not work like it can or should! I have a Fender Japan one like that and I had to take the neck right off to adjust the truss rod FFS.
Hi Dave. Question. What is that small circular hole in the body by the lower horn? I've seen them on strapped bodies before but don't know why they're there why they're there
guitars used to get better quality for more money. now you get higher prices with cost saving shortcuts to keep it not too insane where you stop buying. goodbye gibson and soon goodbye fender.
Fender should stop hiring Boeing engineers to design their instruments. Ie: Access to truss rod, Machine heads, ect……. Imagine if the Fender name wast not on the headstock, sales would plummet significantly……
are we tribulating yet? will you pass muster when the 'rapture/time line split' takes place and splits the positives from the negatives? good luck with it! lol
Dave+Fender Bass=Oh YES!!😊
Thats why I love Music Man basses, the wheel truss rod at the 20th fret is so easy to turn!
Dave you are my favorite guitar tech and now repair man up north, have a wonderful holiday season.Ernie here from Chicago
and Nashville USA..
Great stuff dave thank you for your excellent content i always learn new things from you 😊

They all need to play a P-Bass with flats... the bass version of learning to drive a stick shift
Yeah I bought one of these, sold it immediately.
Hey all right. I have one of these in the blonde color.
Great job Dave, cheers!
Really nice bass.

You talking about snow and cold made me feel like I was in the back seat listening to My Girl by Chilliwack.
My dad has 32 bases and they all need your touch lol he already has carpet tunnel it may be too late. Love ya Dave god work you do!
Nice bass, sounded great too.
happy holidays dave

Don’t forget to screw those pick guard screws backwards until they click into their thread. 👍

Another excellent Video! Thank you!!
Yoo! Awesome video as always!

1/16 ? Do you understand how minuscule that is?
Great vid, Dave! I've been meaning to ask what the opening music is. Great groove!
You know what, Mr. Dave?! No? Well, I'm gonna tell ya - I like you. There, I said it!
Thanks Dave!
Oh, and those low-profile tuners are obviously for aerodynamics - increases your top speed.
Looks better without the pickguard, I think... Pity a bit the c and c machine hole.
C and C music hole! I remember their hit from the ... 90's?
Computer Numeric Control = CNC manufacturing :D

Dave the slapper! 🎸
I was wondering what that hole under the pick guard was. Found the answer in the comments. Figured it was too small to be a stash hole.😁
I know you don't read these, but why is there an extra hole under the pick guard?
that's the hole that let's the machine make the body..position
@DavesWorldofFunStuff thank you
what was that hole in the bass under the pic guard?
Hi Dave. Question. What is that small circular hole in the body by the lower horn? I've seen them on strapped bodies before but don't know why they're there why they're there
CNC machine position
👍
Sweet looking p bass
Sweet P Bass but you left the amp on the buzz was driving me nuts when you was talking
I guess when Fender makes a re-issue, they use the archaic design to be faithful to the vintage stuff.
They should abandon that style of truss rod.
Why would Dave pop off the pick guard when he has a whole drawer full of wrenches that would fit it ?
they still don't fit and fuk the finish
Rebuild & not try it ?
guitars used to get better quality for more money. now you get higher prices with cost saving shortcuts to keep it not too insane where you stop buying. goodbye gibson and soon goodbye fender.
Made me laugh!
Not a Fan of the Scratch Plate.

The Fender truss rod like this one is a 70 year old design, and it has always sucked
are we tribulating yet? will you pass muster when the 'rapture/time line split' takes place and splits the positives from the negatives? good luck with it! lol
