    GREAT video!
    I also love EMG pickups, preamps, pots, and especially their solderless wiring (they are the standard wiring used on all of my custom bass and guitar builds), as well as Ampeg amplifiers (until I recently had to sell it, my favorite amp was my Ampeg SVT 4 PRO, run with on board crossover bi-amp low, below about 700 Hz through a Sonic ported cab with 1 x 18" ElectroVoice (it's about 200lbs. but it thumps like a size 18 boot side kick to the chest, absolutely beautiful!!!), and frequencies above were run through a Sonic sealed cab with 4 X 10" Celestion speakers, and a matched piezo horn. This cab has an internal crossover to split the highest frequencies to the horn. BOTH cabs are equipped with circuit breakers to prevent blowing them (VERY important when running an SVT 4 PRO that can be a tsunami of current as high as 1,600 watts!), AND are equipped with internal lights which can be seen through the speaker, just outside the cones, lighting up when driving a signal approaching the limit of the circuit breakers (... yes, I've lit them up).
    Dean Markley strings are great. Used them since early 90's because the cryogenic Blue Steel were the only E and A strings that could survive my most intense playing.
    Notes:
    Wenge, pronounced WEN-gay
    Budokan, pronounced BOO-do-kahn
    "Send Me Your Money," and, "I Saw Your Mommy (and Your Mommy is Dead)," are two completely DIFFERENT songs. If it does say that the song was renamed on the website, then that is completely incorrect.
    Otherwise, a very enjoyable, interesting, and informative video. 🤘🏼😎👍🏽

    If you look for (in UA-cam) Metallica Swanzey New Hampshire you can see me in the front row (Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies & Danzig). I'm being tossed around by the crowd during the opener "Breadfan" w/ jeans on & no shirt. Security pulls me over the barricade & I face the crowd with my first in the air while jumping up and down lol. That was my 21 yr old self. Now I'm 50 :/ This was the show that Jason Newsted passed out at and Metallica played without him for while. Until he was revived & could come out (just to sing) & then eventually play bass again. But I was also in the front row during ST watching Robert in all his glory :-) Great video & awesome choice of shirt as well as the way you are wearing it. Cheers!

    Brilliant video as usual looking forward to part two it was punk that got me into bass some of the artists where
    Norman watt Roy
    Steve Wilson
    J j Brunel
    Bruce foxton
    Steve severin
    To name just a few I guess they didn't use a lot of gear so it probably wouldn't be possible to do a video on one artist but how about 70s English punk bassist's stay safe take care

    Yooooooo I owned that custom 5 string fretless stingray for a little while around 2016. I never knew it was Trujillos but i bought it from a pawn shop here in the LA valley. I regrettably traded it for a very nice jazz bass but now i wish i kept it. I popped off the neck and it looks like it was a 1980 stingray 4 string that was turned into a 5 string and had an ebony fretboard, small lightweight tuners and looks like it had a veneer on the front of the headstock. It played very well but was super heavy.

    I’ll tell you what,
    Forcing yourself to live with the fretless for everything (for as much time as it takes) is actually, IMO the best way to become really intimate and comfortable with playing fretless in general.
    Oddly enough,
    Nowadays even though I have everything from 6 string down,
    A lot of times I naturally grab the fretless!
