Hi, this is Greg from Greg's Bass Shed. In this video, we're going to be comparing a P-Bass and a Tele base
So the P-Bass I'm going to be using is a Lakland P-Bass
with a bare knuckle pickup and the Tele Bass is this one I put together myself and stained.
You've probably seen it in a lot of of my videos. That's also got a bare-knuckles pickup on it.
I'm then going to play the Tele Bass with the tone knocked off a third and that's a setting I really like with this bass
The Lakland I prefer with the tone all the way up. Both sets of strings on the basses have been played in a bit.
Obviously the age of the strings and also the wood
on the bass is really changes the sound but you'll get an idea of the
Characteristic sounds of the P bass and the Tele.  I'm plugging in through an Apogee duet
interface into the computer
Into logic and I'm using a clean sound so you really get the sort of transparency of the sound hopefully. Next
I'll be making a video explaining how to plug your bass into the computer how to get a good sound and how to record
So if you haven't already then subscribe to the channel and you'll get notified when that video gets uploaded
So, yeah, hopefully I'll be doing that in the next week or so
I'll be playing the same bassline on both bases and on all the settings
I originally wrote this bassline for a bass magazine article
and so I've written a PDF of it. If you want that then click in the description below, write in your email address and
Then I'll send that to you.
So there you are, that's a sound comparison of the P bass and a Tele bass
Both bases have that classic sound and they're really in the same ballpark
but to me the Lakaland sounds like it's got more focused mids and tele bass sounds like it's got a wider range of
Frequencies. I'd love to know what you think of both the basses in the comparison and which one you prefer if you've got a preference
Remember you can download the PDF if you want to learn the baseline and the link is in the description
Look out for my next video of me explaining how you can plug your bass into the computer and get a sound and record
after that
I'm also going to be doing a video comparing the P bass the lakland P with a J bass with my Suhr Bass
so watch out for that video too.
Obviously subscribe if you haven't already and like the video if you enjoyed it. Keep practicing and see you next week
This is Greg from Greg's Bass Shed!
