Thank you for this list. You not being a snob, and daring to include budget basses, makes this list so much more relevant. I ordered a Rickenbacker 4003W a few months ago. Hope it will be as good as promised, if it finally/ever arrives! 😅
be prepared to give it time to accustom to. They are so different in almost every regard. If you are anything like me, first contact will be Yikes! wtf is that thing. But boy it sounds really good and is most of the time worth the hassle they bring. I like the W models a lot more, so nice choice!
Yo Sapko! Long time listener, first time caller. As a long-term MusicMan player I have to say, YES! Tone control, playability and looks. Mine is a 2008, and we've been happily married ever since. Keep rocking in the free world brother!!!
I have a Squier Classic Vibe '60s P Bass. I like it more than some of my instruments that costs five times as much. It's incredibly comfortable to play and sounds great. Mine was made recently though. I don't buy into the hype that the older ones are better.
I love my Squier PJ bass. I dont know why that pickup configuration isn't more popular. It's the best of both worlds. You get that fat P bass pickup, with the dynamics of the Jazz bass two pickup config.
I absolutely LOVE my Stingray. I'm lucky enough to have that, a fretless Conklin, and a 1984 Steinberger -- 3 of my dream basses. Only took 30 years...
I own only one bass. A Sterling by Music Man Stingray. I cannot recommend it enough. Amazing looks, amazing sound, amazing feel, for a fraction of the price. It might be the only bass I'll ever need, it's so flexible.
I sure hope so. I'm gonna get a Ray24, because it's the only decent version I could find with 38mm nut. I had a "real" Stingray, but I hated its wide neck, so I sold it, no regrets. It did sound amazing though, but I felt it was resisting me, so to speak.
i have the sterling stringray 5 and its so nice, the only bass i've played that i liked more was a musicman as well, but a SUB that came on tours with me and got the heck beat out of it
The epiphone brought back ptsd of a rivoli I almost bought. I genuinely bonded with it off the bat, talked myself out of it. Went back the next day and it was gone 😞😞 up there with my biggest regrets
i think what i love most about your playing is that you like shape every chord with your whole hand and it just shows how in the music you are! you're becoming my favorite bassist (after mr. dart of course)
Hey, Danny! I’m a guitarist mostly, and in a month I’ll be proudly wearing your merch on my first gig as a behsist! Love your energy, and good luck in the finals tonight!
My first bass was a 70's Fender Musicmaster, I switched to Guitar at 1982 but I still have a 91 Fender MIJ Precession Lyte (the guys at Long&McQuade love it when I bring it in) which will only leave me when I pass.
I gotta say it's so nice to see that the reserved demo guy turned out to have such a fun and explosive personality, it's almost hard to believe this is the same Danny Seriously dude, love your work
My wife is a Brit so we will be watching as well here in the US. I have my heavily modified 1967 EB0/3P right here. Figure that one out. Go Kane and Co.!
I started playing bass again after a 15 years hiatus, and what really got me back into loving it was a SUB sterling 4 bass. It weighs a ton and half, but for an entry level bass the sound is massive. I look forward to getting a musicman one day.
Thanks man! I spent years and years in the shops in Toronto and the East Coast looking for a “real” Bass, but after all these years nothing beats my 78 Peavey T-40. It’s the one.
Danny, have you ever thought about the Reverend Mike Watt Signature bass? The Wattplower MK II ? It’s got a very unique pickup configuration , the ability to swap between a regular precision, and a reverse precision pickup… and I believe the neck pickup is a guitar pickup. Very unique and cool bass, also comes in a cool root beer sparkle color.
Awesome basses! I've owned/played many of these over the years but my favourite will always be the Mustang (yes... I'm short). The one I use on most of my recordings is the P/J Mustang - it has the P bass thump, with Jazz clarity, whilst maintaining that classic Mustang feel. Anyway, loved the video :) In addition to being a funny wee sod, you're an amazing bass player :)
Ray 4 = best stingray. Increase the size of the control bay and put in a real preamp (the $30 Korean ones are killer) and real deal pickup and you'll have the best instrument you've ever owned for under $500. Awesome video. I'm jelly of the Mustang. I really want to even try one. Being a lefty is tough.
I just love your videos mate. You can tell when a man is of great character.Your honesty is refreshing and you can tell you'd be the kind of dipstick that would help a Yank like me out if I were broke down on the side of the road. So that's my brown nosing for today. Thank you.
I own the exact black stingray you were playing and it’s my favorite bass in my whole collection. Never played one before I bought that one and it wows me every time I pick it up (which is everyday).
I have a mustang, Jaguar, and jazz bass but I also actually have that Epiphone Allen Woody Rumble Kat. I love that bass and it plays great and looks so good with its upgraded appointments… binding everywhere, rosewood board and gold hardware
Ric 4003 is my favorite of your choices. I play a 35 inch scale fretless 5 string Warmoth that I built myself almost always, but I’ve had a Ric 400x since 1977 for when I needed it and always will.
.......I liked the Musicmans out of your selection......my favourite actual bass SOUND is Hugh Hopper's, of the Soft Machine, whose band was the only band, during a classical music festival in Britain, violins, cellos, orchestras, symphonies......the only band with fretted electric bass, keyboard, rock drumkit.......to be a night amongst all the symphonies......Soft Machine also played at higher volume than other rock bands, you'd think they'd be quieter.....you needed to hear Hopper at that volume. My cheap bass choice is Guild, pricey choice RD from Gibson........I'm also more interested in basses with whammy bars than other bassists. 8:10
My over the sea BEHS brother, A tear rolled down my cheek when I saw that the 4003 didn't make the top three. I mean, I thought... Oh never mind. Keep 'Rickin'. You kick ass.
Hey Danny - I'm soooooo glad that you mentioned price while not holding it against the manufacturer. Oh so many reviewers automatically rail against the manufacturer when they are discussing Rickenbackers, etc... and it's really annoying. You buy what you like that you can afford - if you can't afford a Lexus or an Infinity you buy a Honda or a Toyota, or maybe even a Kia. Can't afford a RIc or an Alembic? Get a Squier P or J bass and tweak the EQ as best you can. Thanks again.
I have a Squire Vintage ‘77 Jazz Bass. I put a Babicz Bridge and Fender Vintage Jazz pickups. Like you said about your almost similar, they play like the the real deal. Not my most expensive but definitely one of the most playable!
I had the Epiphone Thunderbird and liked it but it didn't fit well in my usual setting (90% of the time I play in church) so I traded it. The Mustang reminds me of the first BEHS I owned, and recently reacquired from my brother, a 1973 Musicmaster.
Great vid on basses! I've got an 80's Squire P bass I found in a pawnshop w case for $75. It was a steal!! It plays great and I'll never part with it. Love your extended vids!!
As someone who has owned a Rumblekat for years, and needs to get it restrung and cleaned up (the neck is filthy), I can certainly say I'm glad you like it too! I'm sure my Ibanez SR600 is the better bass, but the Rumblekat is a delight to play: shortscale and with a fantastic neck
Mustang yes. Rick 4000, one pickup, one volume, one tone, bithchin Rick body. Lemmy Rick, looks like three pickups, one volume, one tone, three way switch? I say play all three pickups. I mean, there they are. Tele bass, one big a** humbucker in the neck position. Thump there eyes out. Carlo Robelli turn of the millennium red PJ fretless bass with ebonol finger board. Instant Jaco Tone. Roundwounds of course. Squier fretless jazz bass, ebonol finger board, roundwounds. Again, instant Jaco tone. Beautiful out of two different cheap fretlesses. If you can find "em now. Possibly one of the Hofner shorties. And life without a Hofner violin behs? I suppose one could limp by without one. Love you to pieces, Danny. Keep doing what you are doing. That cutie pie is your manager?
Two of the favorites in my arsenal are a fretless Rob Allen and the extraordinary Gibson RD Artist, sadly, no longer made, though one can be tracked down if you search hard enough. Note that the Gibson RD does not have the electronic enhancements of the RD Artist. By the way, the RD Artist's active electronics were developed by Bob Moog. Yes, that Bob Moog.
I bet that Epi Rumble Cat sounds very similar to my Epi Viola. With flats on that thing is the chef’s kiss of deep smooth tone. Some great choices here and some bonkers ones Danny. I sold my Gibson EB0 as the only thing it had going for it was it looked cool. Horribly heavy, and sounded like mud. And the neck dive WAS terrible!! Love my Squier VM mustang - you’re right they absolutely thump. If you can’t afford a MM Stingray, grab a Sterling - I love mine! So much bang for your buck there. Also love my Squier CV P bass like you but you’ve missed out on my my favourite secret weapon - Danelectro longhorn. Sounds like a P, looks the bomb is TINY for us hobbits and weighs NOTHING AT ALL. If you haven’t tried one, you absolutely must!
My current favourite instrument (and I'm primarily a guitar player) is my white Classic Vibe 60s P Bass. I liked it the moment I tried it in the shop and a year and a half later I still can't put it down!
I have the Epiphone Goth Thunderbird and it's quite awkward to play because of the steap position. The neck just feels further away, but it looks grear! I have a Squire Mustang also, the orange one, and its a joy to play.
I don’t play behs or anything. Dabble on the traps. But I’ll watch any Danny Sapko video that pops up. Yeah, Charles is amazing, but Danny’s like a friend.
That Squier CV Jaguar bass in black is my band practice bass, as it belongs to our rehearsal space = the music room of the school one of my band mates is an art teacher for 😊 Apart from its looks, I love how light and easy to play it is, as a medium scale with a very slim neck, and the pick-ups aren't too shabby either 🤩 I'm impressed how good yours sounds with Drop-D tuning! Heavier strings than the original ones, possibly? _This_ one sounds pretty sh*te with that tuning! 😅 And I'm again impressed by your great playing! 😍👍 Greetings from NZ! 👋😊🎵
The Thunderbird Gothic is an awesome bass. My friend has one that I played quite a bit. You can really dig in with a pick, so it's especially great for rock/punk/metal, but I played every style of music on it and really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of the celtic cross pick guard, but you could always change it to something else to make the bass a bit less "this bass is for metal playing only yeaahhh!!"
I have a mid-00s vintage white MIJ Mustang with flats. It’s fantastic. You can really nail that Holger Czukay sound. Also, day 1 of asking for a Holger Czukay behs tone vid.
Have a 94 precession Japanese with the foto flame Hamburglar print , sounds amazing & a ricky 4003 1992 Agree the ricky is not for everyone but for me it suits . But the fender is my go to
Hey dip stick Sapko Great video as usual Well im happy with my 8 basses 1973 sunburst Fender P bass 1990's Japanese 51 P bass reissue 1982 Japanese Squire JV jazz bass 2000 Hofner Very Thin bass 2005 Special Edition MusicMan Stingray 1880 French Thibourville Lamy 3/4 double bass 1900 German Mittenwald 3/4 double bass And a 1970 plywood East German double bass with gut strings for playing Rockabilly, RnB , country and bluegrass I suppose im just as much as a dipstick as you 😂 and I love your videos
Have you tried the Gibson Ripper (Or the grabber or the G3?) Those things are absolutely marvelous! I have a fond memory of a MusicMan Sabre too. I do love a Thunderbird although I tried a bunch of Epiphone series and they all felt different for better or worse. The classic IV with the Gibson pickups is definitely the best I've tried though. Absolutely killer! Keep up the good work!
I like the thumping tone of all of these! Maybe not the price of some tho. I've no doubt Danny that you could snap a couple of rubber bands over a pencil box and produce a killer BEHS tone! Best part... it wouldn't cost you a lot of dosh!
danny for prime minister
All prospective MPs would have to win a bass battle before being accepted into parliament.
Agreed... 😊
Forget that! DANNY FOR PRESIDENT OF US!
He'd have his (voter) behs behind him for that gig
Nah Danny For King
Not sure if Danny will be reffing the England match this weekend or starring in Beetlejuice 2 with that get up.
Both.
"NICE EFFIN BEHS, HONK!"
Thank you for this list.
You not being a snob, and daring to include budget basses, makes this list so much more relevant.
I ordered a Rickenbacker 4003W a few months ago. Hope it will be as good as promised, if it finally/ever arrives! 😅
be prepared to give it time to accustom to. They are so different in almost every regard. If you are anything like me, first contact will be Yikes! wtf is that thing. But boy it sounds really good and is most of the time worth the hassle they bring. I like the W models a lot more, so nice choice!
100% agreement
'A man of no fixed hairstyle ': the Rutles quote
I am the original owner of a 1980 Ric 4001S. Still plays and sounds great!
Thanks for all the BEHS Danny.
Enjoy the match.
Yo Sapko! Long time listener, first time caller. As a long-term MusicMan player I have to say, YES! Tone control, playability and looks. Mine is a 2008, and we've been happily married ever since. Keep rocking in the free world brother!!!
2006 Honeyburst with a maple neck here! Unreal basses. Enjoy mine every day.
I have a Squier Classic Vibe '60s P Bass. I like it more than some of my instruments that costs five times as much. It's incredibly comfortable to play and sounds great. Mine was made recently though. I don't buy into the hype that the older ones are better.
If you can’t do it with a Squier P Bass, is it really worth doing?
i have the Classic Vibe Jaguar he mentioned and i love it. I even grab it over my Ernie Ball Musicman depending on the day
Yeah! CV 50s p bass is one of the best instruments I’ve ever had, flats or rounds 🤘
@@0ldMatty2 nice! I’ve been thinking of grabbing a CV jazz bass actually!
I love my Squier PJ bass. I dont know why that pickup configuration isn't more popular. It's the best of both worlds. You get that fat P bass pickup, with the dynamics of the Jazz bass two pickup config.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching

I absolutely LOVE my Stingray. I'm lucky enough to have that, a fretless Conklin, and a 1984 Steinberger -- 3 of my dream basses. Only took 30 years...

Same here! Love my Ray4 to bits, it's all I could want in a bass. Both Metal and Funk sound great on it!
i have the sterling stringray 5 and its so nice, the only bass i've played that i liked more was a musicman as well, but a SUB that came on tours with me and got the heck beat out of it
I too own a Sterling Ray 4. Sounds great straight out of the box.
Love my Hamer Quad bass. Ordered new from the factory in 1977 (yeah. I'm an old guy).
The epiphone brought back ptsd of a rivoli I almost bought. I genuinely bonded with it off the bat, talked myself out of it. Went back the next day and it was gone 😞😞 up there with my biggest regrets
A great video! Especially for someone that is in the market for a Bass. Thanks! 😎
I sold my 76 mustang bass with original shortscale case five years ago..
I’m still slappin’ my face till today 🤦♂️
I like your enthusiasm……it’s inspiring
The Squier classic vibe line in general are really slept on. Any bass in that lineup is good for the money.
Bought a classic vibe jazz bass it’s a great value.Plays great.
I’m not surprised that in first place is the stingray, I have a stingray sub series with replaced pickups and it sounds amazing
i think what i love most about your playing is that you like shape every chord with your whole hand and it just shows how in the music you are! you're becoming my favorite bassist (after mr. dart of course)
Hey, Danny! I’m a guitarist mostly, and in a month I’ll be proudly wearing your merch on my first gig as a behsist!
Love your energy, and good luck in the finals tonight!
This makes me want to pick up my BEHS and play! Also, Danny makes me wish I were English.
That Epiphone is a truly beautiful. Nice piece of wood!
I have a Cort Active DLX. Great for me, still learning at 77!
so cool dude. Great video!!!❤❤
Great video as always Mr. BEHS
My first bass was a 70's Fender Musicmaster, I switched to Guitar at 1982 but I still have a 91 Fender MIJ Precession Lyte (the guys at Long&McQuade love it when I bring it in) which will only leave me when I pass.
I gotta say it's so nice to see that the reserved demo guy turned out to have such a fun and explosive personality, it's almost hard to believe this is the same Danny
Seriously dude, love your work
Thanks for doing your thing!
Fantastic video I don’t play bass but you have inspired me to give it a go !!!!!
My wife is a Brit so we will be watching as well here in the US. I have my heavily modified 1967 EB0/3P right here. Figure that one out. Go Kane and Co.!
Nice vid man.
I started playing bass again after a 15 years hiatus, and what really got me back into loving it was a SUB sterling 4 bass. It weighs a ton and half, but for an entry level bass the sound is massive. I look forward to getting a musicman one day.
Thanks
Good Vid, great choices!!! Godspeed!!! And good luck to your football team!!!
Thump on!!!!
Sorry about the match.
Thanks man! I spent years and years in the shops in Toronto and the East Coast looking for a “real” Bass, but after all these years nothing beats my 78 Peavey T-40. It’s the one.
Best short scale bass I ever heard was a 70s Mustang.
IIRC it was Sandgate from Newcastle at Llandaff Tech. circa '73/'74
P.S.
What strings are/were on that Squier Precision ?
Rotosound Flats ?
Holy shit, I was not expecting the Rumblekat to have that much of a growl!
Keep up the great videos. All about the tone. Cheers!
Wow! Thanks so much!
Danny, have you ever thought about the Reverend Mike Watt Signature bass? The Wattplower MK II ? It’s got a very unique pickup configuration , the ability to swap between a regular precision, and a reverse precision pickup… and I believe the neck pickup is a guitar pickup. Very unique and cool bass, also comes in a cool root beer sparkle color.
Best behs CZcamsr
A very classy collection of choices .... I'm mostly there for the Mustang ....love them
Very much agree with StingRay in top spot. I’ve owned boutiques, high end production stuff, etc and nothing gets playing time since getting my ray
Thanks!
I completely get why you put the Stingray #1. Reckon I've had three different ones, and a Big Al bass too lmao
Awesome basses! I've owned/played many of these over the years but my favourite will always be the Mustang (yes... I'm short). The one I use on most of my recordings is the P/J Mustang - it has the P bass thump, with Jazz clarity, whilst maintaining that classic Mustang feel. Anyway, loved the video :) In addition to being a funny wee sod, you're an amazing bass player :)
If we ever meet at a show one day I will be so happy to show you my SG basses
Ray 4 = best stingray. Increase the size of the control bay and put in a real preamp (the $30 Korean ones are killer) and real deal pickup and you'll have the best instrument you've ever owned for under $500.
Awesome video. I'm jelly of the Mustang. I really want to even try one. Being a lefty is tough.
I just love your videos mate. You can tell when a man is of great character.Your honesty is refreshing and you can tell you'd be the kind of dipstick that would help a Yank like me out if I were broke down on the side of the road. So that's my brown nosing for today. Thank you.
Real interesting video! I personally love my Sterling, as well, and would never want to get rid of it. Keep at it, and have a great evening today!
I have 3 from your list; the Japan 'Stang, the red Squire P, and the Epi 'Bird.
Danny for official mascot to the next Birmingham soccer club… the Birmingham BEHS? 😆🎸
As a Dutchie: I hope football never comes home :^)
As a bass enjoyer... love your content as always.
I own the exact black stingray you were playing and it’s my favorite bass in my whole collection. Never played one before I bought that one and it wows me every time I pick it up (which is everyday).
The Squier short scale Jag is my gigging behs of choice, it's utterly fantastic!
Great content as always Mr Sapko. I got me a stingray that looks very similar to that one and I love it to bits.
These were some tasty sounds mate!
Wow I love hearing you play. You’re bloody good.
Day 289 of asking for Paul McCartney behs tone
Wow; there’s a few variations of that!
Cool. Great playing as well.
I have a mustang, Jaguar, and jazz bass but I also actually have that Epiphone Allen Woody Rumble Kat. I love that bass and it plays great and looks so good with its upgraded appointments… binding everywhere, rosewood board and gold hardware
I have a music man stingray. Got it in 2009 and I love it.
Football, and music!
Ric 4003 is my favorite of your choices. I play a 35 inch scale fretless 5 string Warmoth that I built myself almost always, but I’ve had a Ric 400x since 1977 for when I needed it and always will.

My over the sea BEHS brother,
A tear rolled down my cheek when I saw that the 4003 didn't make the top three.
I mean, I thought...
Oh never mind.
Keep 'Rickin'.
You kick ass.
Hey Danny - I'm soooooo glad that you mentioned price while not holding it against the manufacturer. Oh so many reviewers automatically rail against the manufacturer when they are discussing Rickenbackers, etc... and it's really annoying. You buy what you like that you can afford - if you can't afford a Lexus or an Infinity you buy a Honda or a Toyota, or maybe even a Kia. Can't afford a RIc or an Alembic? Get a Squier P or J bass and tweak the EQ as best you can. Thanks again.
Yay, he approves of Squier. I recently picked up a Classic Vibe Jazz. After upgrading the pickups and bridge it's incredible.
Love my 1979 Fender Mustang in a natural finish.
Day 233 asking Shane embury behs tone
I second that motion!!! I saw Napalm Death in the 90's. It was intense enough without the four hits of acid I took,lol!!!
I have an Epi Les Paul Special, Jack Casady goldtop and a Fender Jazz
All different, but when playing, they are all my favourites.
I have a Squire Vintage ‘77 Jazz Bass. I put a Babicz Bridge and Fender Vintage Jazz pickups. Like you said about your almost similar, they play like the the real deal. Not my most expensive but definitely one of the most playable!

I bought a new Japanese Fender P-bass in 1990. It plays great, holds its tune well, and sounds great too. Still have it.
Loving it. C'mon England!
Great vid on basses! I've got an 80's Squire P bass I found in a pawnshop w case for $75. It was a steal!! It plays great and I'll never part with it. Love your extended vids!!

hopefully 3 lions can bring it home for you guys tomorrow.
I have the Epiphone Goth Thunderbird and it's quite awkward to play because of the steap position. The neck just feels further away, but it looks grear! I have a Squire Mustang also, the orange one, and its a joy to play.
I don’t play behs or anything. Dabble on the traps. But I’ll watch any Danny Sapko video that pops up. Yeah, Charles is amazing, but Danny’s like a friend.
It didn’t come home either 😂😂😂. I am Italian worry 😂.
Love this video. As always. You rock mate ❤
That Squier CV Jaguar bass in black is my band practice bass, as it belongs to our rehearsal space = the music room of the school one of my band mates is an art teacher for 😊
Apart from its looks, I love how light and easy to play it is, as a medium scale with a very slim neck, and the pick-ups aren't too shabby either 🤩
I'm impressed how good yours sounds with Drop-D tuning! Heavier strings than the original ones, possibly? _This_ one sounds pretty sh*te with that tuning! 😅
And I'm again impressed by your great playing! 😍👍

I have a 2008 vintage white MIJ Mustang behs just like the one in a video and its the best instrument I have ever played
I hate picking a favorite out my kids… but that Ray does something different to me!
I have a mid-00s vintage white MIJ Mustang with flats. It’s fantastic. You can really nail that Holger Czukay sound.
Also, day 1 of asking for a Holger Czukay behs tone vid.
I can get all of these sounds from my Westone Thunder 1A... it's fantastic.
Have a 94 precession Japanese with the foto flame Hamburglar print , sounds amazing & a ricky 4003 1992
Agree the ricky is not for everyone but for me it suits . But the fender is my go to
That Japanese Mustang sounds incredible
Hey dip stick Sapko
Great video as usual
Well im happy with my 8 basses
1973 sunburst Fender P bass
1990's Japanese 51 P bass reissue
1982 Japanese Squire JV jazz bass
2000 Hofner Very Thin bass
2005 Special Edition MusicMan Stingray
1880 French Thibourville Lamy 3/4 double bass
1900 German Mittenwald 3/4 double bass
And a 1970 plywood East German double bass with gut strings for playing Rockabilly, RnB , country and bluegrass
I suppose im just as much as a dipstick as you 😂 and I love your videos
Have you tried the Gibson Ripper (Or the grabber or the G3?) Those things are absolutely marvelous! I have a fond memory of a MusicMan Sabre too. I do love a Thunderbird although I tried a bunch of Epiphone series and they all felt different for better or worse. The classic IV with the Gibson pickups is definitely the best I've tried though. Absolutely killer! Keep up the good work!
Always loved the classic vibes. I have a fancy shmancy American P-bass that I love, but something about the classic vibes p bass is so perfect.
That Retro Vibe sounds better than Geddy Lee's Fenders. The Squire Jaguar too.
I like the thumping tone of all of these! Maybe not the price of some tho. I've no doubt Danny that you could snap a couple of rubber bands over a pencil box and produce a killer BEHS tone! Best part... it wouldn't cost you a lot of dosh!
Without a doubt the best bass I’ve ever played is my 96’ warwick corvette,the wenge neck and brass frets and nut give it a super fat punchy sound
Would love to hear you play, and your thoughts on a G&L 2k!
