my RIDICULOUS bass collection - 2023 Update

As your pseudo advisor, I'm advising you to NOT sell or give away any more of your basses! From now on, you should only be taking in basses, not handing them out.
You do indeed have some exceptional basses. Hold On To Them! You'll thank me, some day, maybe.

At Smuc? Up Bcn!

sell the 4 string Fenders ... nobody needs that kind of bass ... they were cool in the 70s, but that was then

Best collection I've seen. Thumbs up!

Why so many basses when you only have two hands. 🙌

anyone know if the BB is series or parallel

No Cort or Ibanez? 😄

🎸+🎸=👍👍👍

Is the F bass a Fodera?

Think the Yamaha BB3000 is my fav bass ever - serious piece of kit.

yes, MOOOORE!!!

My favorite bass is the one i own😅

That 74 Jazz is probably a 75 transition year bass, it has the chrome bullet truss rod adjuster for a a 75-76 but it has the older style headstock decal.

😢😢 One of the great tragedies of Bass history, is how briefly both the WAL and the Kubicki Factor Basses were in production.
Of all the basses out there that just get made forever, all the while being utterly forgettable in tone and performance, and these two absolute marvels saw only a tiny fraction of the life they DESERVE… sad.

🦶Footnote: While I’ve never even played a WAL. I can say I DID get to play the Kubicki Factor bass.
My good mate at the time from high school was none other than Christopher Bruce, and he had socked up the money to finally get a really good bass and fancied the Kubicki. I remember we had to drive a long way to find a shop that had one. (I know because I was the one driving 😆.) When we finally got to the shop late in the evening it was near closing time and they only had two. One in black, and the other in that “hospital” light mint green. While I really wanted to see Chris hold out for a red one, he opted to take the weird looking green one and just be done with it.

When we got it home to my little studio, not only did we quickly realize that the Factor WAS indeed everything it was made out to be- pure genius of an instrument, but that based on the serial number (and a few signs of wear despite being sold as “new”) that THIS instrument was almost definitely the one from the sales brochure. The OG Kubicki “Hospital Mint Green Bass” as it were. We thought that was pretty darn cool!
To this day, that remains my one true “brush with Bass Guitar greatness”.
Christopher Bruce went on to play for SEAL, Wendy and Lisa’s touring band, and about a thousand other studio and touring credits including David Sanborn.
It’s so nice to see both of these truly legendary Basses here, getting the love they so richly deserve.
🤘😎🤘

Scott, were you at NAMM at all with overwater?

If I could own just one bass guitar Fender jazz. One bass no budget a Ken Smith

My dream bass is a F-bass. They make them 2 hours away from me. Unfortunately they are a little out of my price range... and they keep going higher lol

Kubicki Мечта.Вам повезло,что вы живёте в США и можете иметь такие инструменты.А я мечтаю о Music Men Stingray.

Нет,не могу смотреть,белая зависть и слезы обуревают.

This video was such a pleasure to watch. I'd love to see Ian's collection

I know you got a beautiful new F, but I still can’t believe you parted with the banana. And I’m still broken up that I didn’t win it!

That Journey bass is insane!

Iconic duo!

I wonder what kind of deals F Bass gives Scott. Those things are ridiculously expensive, and to have that many?!

They actually seem to be getting a little burned out by the end

You need to interview Alain Caron. The master Fretless F bass

Yeah, I'd watch a vid of Ian's basses

keep the Yamaha!!!!!!

yea. access to the three hundredth fret! 😂🤣😆😁

*Flea on give it away*

EPIC

Get rid of 'em all...except the Fender's. The rest look like they were made in High School wood shop.

Live in Carlisle, and love Overwater! we used to be Facebook pals, and man, I adore your journey, Scott!

I was looking for a fretless bass recently and found a 2019 MIM Fender Jazz for sale for 400 bucks. The guy bought it during covid but never played it. So i decided it wasnt a bad price. It came with a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pound pickups, badass bridge, hipshot tuner, and a hard case. He even gave me the Rumble 25, well worth the 2 hour drive.

Those wondering the shop where he bought the bass from did all the work and the old parts were in the case.

Trying to conjugate the verb “to treat” as “tret” in the introduction video to the “P-Bass of Doom” years ago was the dumbest thing associated with it … until you swapped its neck with the Moollon. Yeesh.

Surprised there's not a single Stingray!

Would be great to see a Daion MK2

That b.n.f. is awsom

Is there any basses i can buy similiiar to the overwater expression 5 string hollow body

Peter Hook was the reason i bought a Yamaha BB myself:)

Is there any reason you don’t use fodera anymore?

Youguys need a gibson eb-3

Call it good branding, but I don’t think I’ll ever buy a non fender bass. I have an aerodyne jazz bass and I am in love with it!

It'a a nice collection, especially the Wal MK1 and Ovation Magnum IV but I'm surprised there is no Alembic, Warwick, Gibson or Stingray in the collection! For me variety is the key as it makes you play differently, I never have more than 1 of the same model/type of bass. I'm guessing Scott is mostly a lover of Fender Precision & Jazz basses and variations of them which is fair enough, they are classics (I have both too, but one of each is enough!)

That BNF 5 sounds amazing

LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Why the glove...?🤔

The Wal is my dream bass. I don’t have any where near enough money for one, but maybe one day.

That F-Bass BNF 5 sounds killer....
