What the he’s balancing the strings with distortion on? He has no clue what he’s doing.
Oh and oh i didnt know bass players played with brownies… wtf. what else would you play with rather than fingers or a pick?

yeah, when they …
yeah, when they first made the 4001 they only had flatwound bass strings, then when roundwound strings came about the extra tension would warp the necks on 4001s so the 4003 is designed to cope with that

they dont make the …
they dont make the 4001 anymore mate. they 4003 is esentially the exact same model but with a few changes. i think they made it because of something to do with different strings, but im not sure haha

There you go. I …
There you go. I think a bass has to be a bass for that person. Set up the way they like it, adjusted for their taste and style. Strings they like, not the kinda strings someone else recommended. Playability, neck profile, weight and sound as well. So in the end, the bass basically becomes an extension of them. For you my man, Rickenbacker does that. I love that, that makes it you dude. We are all unique, our instruments should reflect that.

alot of bass players play with their fingers or a pick.
REALLY! i actually have no respect for expert village no more.

Gotta be a …
Gotta be a Rickenbacker 4001 or 4003 for me. I’d have to say the 4003 just because its the only one of the two that i’ve tried. Absolutely beautiful to play and sounds sooo good, and such a unique tone as well, you can hear a Rickenbacker from a mile off.

The best bass is what sounds good to you and is easiest to play.
The most expesive basses are Ritter, Fodera, and Tobais. That I know of.

As for the best …
As for the best bass, I dunno if their is one almighty bass out there; it really depends on the player’s preference. The most expensive basses you’ll probably find are rare vintage ones. The P-Bass that this man is adjusting is a pretty good bass, a good all round bass really. Doesn’t make it the best though. Like I said, different bass for each player.

it’s actually so …
it’s actually so easy! I got ripped off last time I brought my bass for fine tuning, he did a lousy job, whereas if you have time, you can achieve perfect adjustments in your own room! thumbs up mate
