As a Rancid Fan I really appreciate this kind of content, I think it's a way to get just little closer to people you admire and everyone here know how legendary this P bass is. Thanks again for the video Sir.
More! More! More! All the basses, all the guitars, all the everything. This is food for the eyes.
Agreed 🤘🤘🤘
I bought mine MattFreeman signature Squier in Milan for 450€.
Very hard to find in Europe.
I play it all the time.
❤
More basses you have? YES PLEASE!
Yes, more bass videos! The jazz bass on AOCTW would be interesting. And the signature bass too. All of it haha
This bass is punk rock history. I loved this video. I am also a proud owner of the Matt Freeman Squier bass. One of the best basses I own and it cost a fraction of what some of my others did.
The sound of that bass is driven into my heart. I'm happy it's so well loved🎉
You answered so many questions I've had for so many years! Thanks for this.
Ive been waiting for this video since 1997 when I first heard Rancid. Your 1977 P bass to me, a bass player, is like Hendrix's Strat to most guitar players. Thanks so much, Matt!
Absolutely! More of these videos, please. 3 reasons why I bought my Fender white p bass and slapped a black pickguard on it, Paul Simonon, Dee Dee Ramone, and of course, yourself.
Would love to see more of everything, basses, amps, how you get your tone, practice routines, etc etc, thanks for the videos Matt!
Growing up, I learned bass by playing along with you, to your records, so to see these videos and content is like a full-circle experience for me. Thank you Matt.
I’d love to see more videos about your Basses, Matt!!
Matt I’m your fan 20yrs long from China. I love those late 70s white P Bass just because of you. I went to Japan to see Rancid live which was one of my happiest moment in life. In 2008, I bought my first Fender 78P which is blonde-white and it brought me so much fun in the past yrs! Earlier this year, I eventually bought a genuine Olympic-white Fender P from late 70s when I traveled in the US , which is exactly the same color as your 77.P. This is my dream, thank you for inspiring me across the ocean.
I'd love to see you cover your Matt Freeman Squier bass.
Matt you changed my life. I used to try and learn your lines when I was younger for hours and hours. I learned so many techniques that I would use for the rest of my life. Thanks for sharing this content and remaining humble regardless of being a living legend and also many kids’ hero
I'd love other videos like this -- in addition to play-alongs and other stuff. Pretty much, whatever you want to do or talk about, I'm guessing the majority of us will geek out to it. Thank you for always sharing all you do 😀
I love the detail you go into. People always call their instruments "just tools" without showing appreciation for the tools they make their work with.
there is some kind of magic on those 70s precision basses!
That is THE bass! Would love to see the Jazz as well.
YES I WOULD LIKE MORE BASS AND GEAR VIDEOS 😁
Love seeing musician’s old, well played basses in the kind of detail.
I bought a bass a few years ago, i'm still killing my fingers on maxwell murder, this video is so freaking awesome
I loved this rundown! I got the original Op Ivy record when I was 10 in 1990 from my older sister and it changed everything for me.
I just like re-living my teens here, so I'm stoked for whatever!
Hola Matt soy Traver de la legendaria banda punk argentina 13 Puñaladas, saludos desde Argentina, aguante el punk rock y el Bajito!!! Abrazo idolo!
This is so exciting. I’m only 20, but I’ve been daydreaming about playing your basslines since I was a 10 year old girl listening to Op Ivy with my dad. I got an electric bass when I was 12 after deciding to pick up the upright, and have been trying to coherently play Op Ivy songs since then. This year, I finally have gotten to that point, and am SO explosively excited about it, and then I stumble upon this channel!!!! What a blessing!!!! You are such an inspiration!
Please, more videos like this one! Thanks, Matt, you're awesome!
Hey Matt! Long time fan! Please do more in depth bass videos like this. So cool to see this up close and learn about it!
Maybe a bass collection video one day? Thanks for all the years of awesome bass playing and music!
Really appreciated the look at your bass! Us fans/bass players are always down to find out about your gear.
You’re such a legend, dude. I was 15 when “and out come the wolves” was released and I spent hours playing along learning the bass parts. This such a thrill to see. Thanks for sharing
I love this, please do more! The history of that bass is mind blowing to the rest of us. ;)
I bought an olympic white p Bass because of you and dee dee too! Love these bass , so good to play ! Thanks for the video !
The 3 pioneers that made me get into playing bass is matt freeman steve harris and alex webster ...legends
I bought a 2000's Fender P Bass 24 years ago just influenced by you and I still play on it!!!
Love "Crimpshrine" written between the bridge and guard. Would love to see a video on the guitars behind you as well as your stand up bass(es) during the Devils Brigade days
Would love to see/hear more about your basses. Especially the Jazz from ...And Out Come The Wolves, the internet argues to this day whether you used a Jazz or a Precision on that record.
Hell yeah, show us some more basses you’ve played! So cool to hear all the history of that bass.
this bass is a huge part of punk history and i only hope one day when its live its life we are able to see it in the punk museum in Vegas. I'm sure that's a long ways away.
We're one step closer to the Matt Freeman rig rundown we've always wanted haha
The bass of legends!
Got to see you live in Memphis quite a few years ago and got to talk to you about basses at the time. You played a Geddy Lee jazz that night and just absolutely killed it!
I remember talking to you about a signature model. This was before the Squiers.
Such an iconic bass! I actually built my own 70’s Precision modeled after these white ones. Definitely do more bass/gear rundown videos!!
That's the same reason I love my white p bass. The maple neck is always a plus too!
I do bought your signature back in 2012, i changed the pickup with some Fender 63's and sanded the back of the neck just enough to remove the shine for fadter action. It is my favorite instrument and i will re-install the pickup that came with it soon. Thanks for your videos as I really enjoy to know more about you, your gear and your talent.
So cool! Would love to see the jazz and maybe you could talk about the differences and your preferences.
yeah, as a base player who has been chasing your sound forever it was really awesome for you to give an overview of this bass.... the brightness it has is very unique
I would love to see more videos about your gear
Matt, thank you so much for making this. In my opinion, this is most notable Fender P Bass in all of punk history.
I wanted to get one of your signature Squier P Basses when they were available new, but my finances never lined up quite right. They are even more expensive now on the used market! Maybe Fender needs to do another run?
I'd love to see a video about what it was like working with Fender to create your signature P Bass. Also, tell us about the guitars hanging on your wall, ever since you started these back during the pandemic I always wondered what their story was.
Thanks!
Please do more videos like this! How about a video on your love for jazz and precision basses. I would also love to hear about the squier. I hope fender can reissue them at a good price. I recall it as the best sounding bass I’ve ever tried in a music store.
What a tasty bass !🎸
Using since "Operation Ivy"?
Master Matt with a very nice vintage bass✨
Do your whole rig tour - amps, preamps, pedals, etc
So cool to see a legend like Matt just playing with everything stock and not messing with it. Looks well loved!
Yes! More videos about basses and your bass lines too!! Thanks
Great video Matt. Would definitely enjoy seeing more of this type of video. Really cool how you talked about the stickers and other oddities surrounding that beautiful bass. Thank you for this.
I'd love to hear just isolated bass tracks from the albums so I can learn how to play more accurately. I love that bright bass tone. I only ever wanted to learn Matt Freeman style bass
I know some people aren’t into Fenders but honestly look at well that instrument has held up after 40 years and 30 years of shows and recordings. I’ve never played a genuine fender P but man, do I have a lot of respect for those instruments. I also appreciate Matt playing a Squire at live shows bc there are valid reasons to use professional grade instruments, there’s some pretentiousness about it too.
You rock Mr. Freeman. Big fan of MDC 😎🤟🎸
I'd definitely LOVE a video about the stuff you've played on records!
Yes please - more videos about your gear would be appreciated.
Legend!
I still have my Squier signature model. It’s my go to bass.
I absolutely love my Matt Freeman Squier. I own probably 15 basses, it’s my cheapest bass and also my best playing. I have it all stickered up like yours.
I've always been a fan of what artists play from instruments to rigs! I always scope out what's on the stage. This was a great vid for all of us fans and I'd be honored to see more about your different instruments. I love the guitars behind you too!
What an honor to have a reissue made, huh? Dude, that is one incredible bass! Cherish it and make sure that it goes into the right hands when you're gone... I'd love to see more videos and hear more stories about your guitars. Yes. Cheers!!
Lovely bass. It really captures the time and tells your story.
Never been a massive punk fan, but this boy is fucking monstrous. The nofx cover of sticking in my eye is awesome
more videos about basses you have, YES
Heck yeah I would love to see more of your collection
I've got the black squier matt freeman signature p bass. It's my favorite bass.
Need more.. would love to see everything
Another cool video, grateful for it being put together
Thanks for being a constant inspiration I wouldn't be able to play bass for shit with out learning your bass lines when I first started playing bass I learned pretty fast and thought I was hot shit until my friend silver put in his operation ivy record and said oh yeah can you play this shit and was floored so I spent the next six months learning all the op ivy songs and the three rancid albums that were out at the time and for the first time ever playing bass got me laid by a hot skinhead punk chick and i dated her for a while tried to start a band with her brother but he just couldnt pay attention long enough to learn the songs
What a piece of history! Thanks for sharing matt 🔥
First time I I saw you guys was at the Berkeley Square with Tilt and Green Day, only $6.00! It was record release party for the first album, you were playing a black Epiphone P-bass, I had the same bass at the time, but the white one because I wanted to be Dee Dee. Thanks for decades of great music and outstanding bass playing!
1. Yes it's special because it's yours.
2. It has a fantastic nut size for a bass.
3. The Matt Freeman Squire bass is way too expensive used... We need a limited rerelease!
4. I would love to hear more about your gear.
Yes!!! More content on your basses, Matt!! There’s one in particular I’ve always been curious about that has your name inlayed on the fretboard, looks kinda rickenbacker-ish
I love how much character this bass has. It's so impressive to see an artist use the same instrument for most of their career. See also the Bouncing Souls guitars.
Would love to see a side by side sound comparison of the Fender and Squire.
Definitely would love to see more Basses!
Yes, do all your basses!
Definitely more content like this, need to hear the story of the jazz and squier
Cool bass, I love instruments with mileage and history.
you’re my inspiration as a bass player for fuckin 25 years, thanks for your genuineness!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🇧🇷
BTW that extra tuner you got is a Squier Classic Vibe/Matt Freeman tuner that Squier had between 2008 and 2018. These are shaped like Schaller but with a longer spindle, and no brand name. Best tuners, made in Taiwan.
Thanks, for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also Saturday is my friends birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
From seeing dee dee sling one at his knees, to you playing like a demon on one or sid vicious bleeding on one, Ive always Loved this bass! I have a '76 precision with that same burnt yellow cream coloring! Videos and picture do it no justice! Theres something to that "corner of grandpa's smoking room" color that gets me everytime.
And its orange felt case has the smell to match!
I wish they would do another Squier run of these, hard to find used and worth a ton when you do.
My first bass was a White Jazz with a silver scratch.
This was awesome. Loved hearing the stories behind the bass.
8:40 Reminds me of the time when I tried to put a Hipshot Xtender on the E-string key of my Yamaha, it was too fat so I put the Original on and one of the screw heads broke and there’s a broken screw in the headstock of my Yamaha.
His 77 p bass reason i lookin and just pickup a 79 p bass..wanted his signature Squier too but can’t find, so happy found one 79 p bass, maple neck, natural colour
Awesome content. I love the history. I could picture all the shows as you were describing them. Yeah, more videos like this would be great. Thanks for sharing.
So so stoked to see this, absolutely love this bass, really helped inspire the way my bass looks now, much more importantly it’s inspired the way I play. You’re a beast Matt!
I love my Matt Friedman Squier! Have the black one, though.
Thanks for making this Matt. Really fun and intriguing change of pace to break up the more "shortform" play-along style material, although to be clear I love both. Hope you continue to supplement the channel with more stuff in this vein!
Similar story, ran into your used signature bass in the Emoryville guitar center last year. Been gigging it out ever since
i’d love to see more of ur basses! and hear the history of them
matt🫡🤝first,a white/maple neck p bass,and then we can start!!amazing bass and bass player my friend!
Thanks for all these videos!!! please keep posting, all the basses is fine with me.
Definitely want more videos
