The Ultimate Bass For A Guitarist!
By
When asking one of my fellow worship-bass-guitarist collegues, Steve Araujo, about purchasing a bass guitar, he enthusiastically directed me toward the Fender Vintage Modified 70′s Jazz Bass (It also just happens to be a Squire).
I went out and gave the bass a test drive. All I can say is that this bass absolutely sings!
Needless to say, I bought it (for a little over $200).
Steve Araujo affectionately calls this bass, the anomaly since it is so inexpensive and yet plays so well.
After a good set-up, this bass is extremely easy to play. If you are not a good thumper, this bass will surely help you to become more funky.
I initially did some research on the Fender Vintage Modified 70′s Jazz Bass at Harmony Central. It seems that some pro players had actually made the Vintage Modified Jazz Bass their primary axe over their more expensive basses.
All I can say is that I’m having a blast pretending to play like Melvin Davis (also a worship-bass-guitarist colleague at Saddleback Church) and Marcus Miller.
