Do YOU need a BASS? - 5 reasons to ponder (with examples) - MIJ Fender P-Bass

#BassGuitar #BassforGuitarists #BassTips
Have you been playing guitar for awhile, but don't own or play a bass guitar? This video explains 5 essential reasons you NEED a bass ASAP.

As a 5-decade guitarist and bass player, I noodle on my Made-in-Japan Fender Precision Bass (1957 Reissue) to show my love and respect for the bass guitar — along with a little bit of bass history, and some audio examples.

Hear snippets from:
John McVie's bass part from "Go Your Own Way" (Fleetwood Mac)
Paul McCartney's bass part from "With a Little Help from My Friends" (The Beatles)
Adam Clayton's bass part from "Mysterious Ways" (U2)

And finally, I share some recorded tracks from a bluesy and funky new Cosmic Spin recording of the Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart classic "Last Train to Clarksville" (The Monkees) to show how and why bass changes our audio perceptions. Hear for yourself how adding a bass to your collection will take your music to a higher level — by letting you go lower!
