The $20 bass is a Roytek found at a flea market a while ago, it is very dirty and damaged.
The $620 bass is my signature Davie504 bass by Chowny;

The $5,000 bass is from Supra Basses, many thanks for sending it to me! (last time I checked it was $5,000 USD, but there might be a discount price now)

Which one sounded the best? Let me know here :D
esketit
Replace the 20$ bass strings and it'll sound a LOT better. I prefer the 620$ bass.
The bass for $20 sounded the best
The $620 bass, This video was amazing bro!
$5000 had a very smooth sound to it
I’m a bit triggered that the Davie504 signature bass doesn’t cost $504
thats cuz it will sell for $69. if not He will call the police, lol
Thomas House bb
Or $420 *LMAO*
It'll be sold for $6969 LMAO dollars
$911
I would like to hear the $20 bass with new strings
Was going to say this. Strings, in my experience, make A LOT of difference.
Thank you! They look like the Jolly Green Giant used them to floss.
But that would make it a 40+ buck bass.
That would double the cost of the bass lol
for real, those strings are so fucking dead.
I can make the $5000 bass sound like a $5 bass. That's my talent
U change the strings
@@ahmadridho215 no either break it or play really awful
jajajaja
Outstanding.
@@ahmadridho215 irony deficiency
I think you just proved it's the player not the instrument
it have a different sound but you wont listen to it properly from a recorded audio from a camera, a friend of mine showed me the difference between two guitars in a recorded audio and there is no difference until you heard them in person. i agree the bassist mmakes the bass sound good, mid range prices are good enough
It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools.
Very impressive but can you change those rusty ass strings on the 20$ bass?
dominion player
But a set of decent strings would probably be more expensive than the bass itself. Is that really worth it?
Andy Marcs the best guitar (bass) is a guitar with new strings. So probably yes
I was just thinking the same,hahahahahahaah, how could he play that without having something? Hahahahahaha
just about to put some reply with this comment.!
Good suggestion buddy. I was gonna suggestion it myself.
Very impressive,but can you sell that $5000 bass to me for $20?
BXW lol
Yes, you win. Good job. Here are your internets.
I'll sell you the $20 bass for $5000 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Davie504 prove it... put that $20 bass on eBay for $5000 with a screenshot of your comment and a link to this vid. Let's see if it sells!
No
In conclusion, every bass sounds good when Davie's playing it.
Underrated
The perfect bass will be:
The look of the 5k€
The sound of the 620€
And the price of the 20€
The look of the $620 is better
@@heliomateuscardoso1058 I kinda like the 5k more but we don't need to like the same things
that's what i think too... Slapp men... Nice comment!!
@@elpsicoloco8025 thanks

I mean hey
The $20 Bass didn’t sound bad.
in DAVIE we trust
thebahooplamaster
Thats what i always say
If the strings weren't dead af I think it could sound pretty good.
Strings look real sticky tho
That would be a 40$ bass then ;)
Of course you go to a *Flea* market for a bass.
holy shit

Is it just me or does the $20 bass sound really cool here? I think this part sounds better here than the other basses.
sounds smoother/warmer to me which I like , not as punchy/harsh as the others.
It could be that the music style of that particular piece is more complementary to its tone and better served by that mellower sound
Yeah, I especially liked the high pitch hum ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If that’s the case you should probably string your bass with flat wounds. They sound like dead strings and you can change them less often
The $20 bass had strings older than the Soviet Union. Give it some new strings, and it would sound as bright as the other bass guitars.
I kinda like that dirty sound the $20 bass has though.
yeah and it probably wouldn’t be $20 if the strings were replaced

In my opinion The best is the $620
Ann Potter because it has the punch
Не соглашусь. Слишком специфично звучит. Если даже выбирать между 620 и 20, я бы ещё хорошо подумал)
Точняк.

Very impressive. But, can you play a Flea bass solo, with the flea market bass, while at a flea market?
swap that 620's strings to 20.
sound = 5000.
My favorites
For sound, Davie504 signature
For looks, $5k bass
For price, $20 bass
No one cares

@@aphenmcdonald6196 True Lol
@@aphenmcdonald6196 *RUUUUU TOC, noice.*
@@strawbandit173 Davie cares, because he literally asked which one we thought sounded best.
The $620 one sounded really nice, and somehow I liked it more than the $5000 one
Mauriello Edoardo it's a Dabie504 signature, it was designed to be played by one specific person....
Oh, you're right... I didn't notice. That's why it sounded better
Yep, the Davie Signature has the same pickup style and position as a Musicman Stingray, a bass renowned for it's very unique voice and extremely full tone. That $5000 bass just sounds like a more hollow version of a Jazz Bass.
ditto
MaxTheKanuck Completely agree. I have a StingRay Sub and I adore it. It has that clear bite to it that Davie's signature bass has. The $5000 bass just sounds too bland. Good, but bland.
For 20$ it has incredibly decent sound... Sure the 5k one ofc has professional and crystal clear sound, but for a begginer with 20$ he can get things done! If you play the violin you need at least 350 to get a decent sound.
Great comparison and you did fantastically well to get a bass for $20! I actually liked the sound of it and would love to hear it after being cleaned up (the strings) or perhaps new strings ... Keep up the great work Davie!!
And the winner is YOUR TALENT!!
+Alexander
do NOT make excuses such as "talent", it's all years of hard work and dedication.
dont call it talent...pls
its all skill baby
Alexander talent can make crap look like solid gold! 😄😃
In the hands of a master, etc.
There is a clear difference between the $20 one and the other (or maybe is just those rusty-ass strings) but I don't think the $5000 sounds better than the $620, just different
That's not rust dude...
ShaxxHD then what is?
Skin, dust, general gunk. You know, fun stuff.
Thomas Ledesma I would like the comment, but I wanted to keep the number at 69, so this will have to do 👍
Video was for $20 bass vs $5000
$620 bass hold my beer
البرتغال مرة
The $20 bass with new strings and a proper setup would probably kick ass.
Very impressive but can you play eruption on a bass??
The Ed Zone
Anyone can play Eruption on bass, especially Davie.
The Ed Zone yes please Dave do it
Play it on a volcano
Nahh¬ He couldn't pull it off___
Callum Smith thats not dormant
If you replace the strings on the cheapest one you essentially double or even triple its value
Killing its sound? Has absolutely no attack
Just setting a pack of strings NEAR it would increase its value.
it's no longer an $20 bass if you replace the strings
임채현 That's like saying that a 150€ guitar is no longer a 150€ guitar just because you put new strings, which you should do before a recording session. The set of strings is not part of the instrument. You're going to have to change them sometime if you don't want your bass sound to be completely dead.
Nick, he's actually right. If the goal is to play a bass you bought for 20 dollars, then adding ANYTHING to it makes it cost more than 20 dollars, which ruins your goal. I understand what you're saying but for the purposes of a video that requires a budget, then you don't get to use the same rules as you would in a recording studio.
I like the cheap one....they get too seinfeldy the pricier they get
Very impressive, (really) love the edits to compare sound but I found myself wanting relatively new strings of similar quality and make before I make a judgment.
Very impressive, but can you play Korn with corn?
Please play korn with corn
This ones actually good
Nice cube
The people need korn with corn.
Make sure you get cornrows in your hair while you do it.
Love you Davie! I think that look at the end says it all!
This is so EPIC.
Do you really do your own editing? It's MIND-BLOWING!
Very IMPRESSIVE BUT can you play Lady GAGA...
With GAGA Tuning
Oliver Hernández You stole my idea Meanie !!!
I know that. Probably do it if he see it 2 times
Do this
Barggy I heard that live once
Lol
Very impressive, but you can play "The Beatles" with beetles?
Beat Draws que toque una canción de the Beatles!!
Beat Draws this ^
Hahaha xD
Man, can we get a round of applause for that dope snazzy part at 0:16
I'm a guitarist, and I'm more used to the Fender Jazz kind of sound. So on the normal finger technique I actually liked the 20$ Bass the most :D However for slapping the Davie504 was the best sounding. Funnily, the most expensive one had a crystal clear tone but wasn't as warm as the 20$ and not as crisp as the Davie504 Bass on slap.
Amazing playing. So so tasteful.
My favourite is the $5000 bass. It was the cut and the warmth. Looks great too.
But I feel in a studio environment they’d all have a use. I actually like that $20 bass. It sounds good. Quite 70s.
No self respecting studio would keep that $20 bass. it's much better to have a bigger sound with all the harmonics and frequency content that you can then cutoff than trying to add something that isn't there.
Merkk for when you want an “authentic” sound ;)
Honestly, you don't build guitars (I do) you would know that it is a combination of wood and electronics. So that $20 guitar can sound like a $ 650 with the right pickups. No piece of wood is worth more than a few hundred dollars, but if someone slapped a hefty price tag on it, you immediately think it sounds like heaven... nuts, pure nuts I say. Sure the $20 bass won't be setup the same but if you suck on a $20 guitar, you'll suck even more on a $10,000 one. Ok
Merkk Studio faves: a Fender P-Bass
I mean, I could be wrong, but as far a I can tell, with guitars that use pickups, the composition and design of the body doesn't change the sound
That 20$ one sounds not bad at all
赵格初 it really does, it’s only 20$ because of the flea market, so it isn’t amazing for the price as the original price would have been around 100$
it sounds terrible, the strings are probaply older than you
The sound is kinda dull, but still funky
Think about it though, it’s $20 compared to $5000. Yes the 5K bass sounds awesome but for $20 you can’t complain at that sound
0:43 in love with that... Lol
three sounded awesome with those slapping fingers of yours... very impressive :D
I really prefered the 620 dollar one it is just alive and not too controlled or free it just sounds so good
michel quintana izzo it’s his signature Davie504 Chowny bass. I really want one.
Buzzfeed: Today were looking at 3 different basses at 3 different price ranges.
Hi i'm Tre cool and I'm a guitar!! I like ur username
and cheapest bass has at least 2yr old strings :v
Ya I wouldn't be touching those.
@Digity thing is that some people doing this on strings for purpose. bass sounds more fat then. but for comparison it's just misunderstanding. you have cheap bass with old strings that is always 'muddy' and more expensive basses with fresh strings, where pops are more 'poppy'. another thing with rusty strings, not old or oiled ones, are problems with tuning.
I am well aware.
The $620 would be a really damn good starter. I have two years of guitar so some skills would transfer over. I want to also pick up bass as I want to play some bass riffs as well. I might consider your signature now.
Your talent is making all of them sound musical and useable 🎵🎶👍
Very impressive, but can you play Ween with your ween?
ok that is a good one!
Nooooooo🤣
PLZZZZ DO IT
Pls do it

You got the 20$ one on a FLEA market
Lollofrog I see what you did there! Lol
Lollofrog hehe i got it
Very impressive, but can you play RHCP with a flea? Under a bridge?
daddymuggle he did under the bridge already
MauryFF true, I forgot
I'm sorry, but does it have a lite version? I'm on a budget.
The $20 bASS just needs new strings.
strings are expensive though
Very impressive, but can you play Welcome to the Jungle in Jungle?
Very Impressive, but can you play "Do I Wanna Know" with colour in your cheeks and an ace up your sleeve?

After being sad for see her go
That's the tune that makes me think of him somehow
While playing it on repeat, until he falls asleep.

O negócio mesmo é saber trocar. Parabéns!
Dude that was like so grooovy!
I actually really like the sound of the 20$ bass
Jack me too, I like the dirtier time cheaper instruments tend to have
Hell the 20 dollar one sounds better than the 5 grand one
Indeed. Isn't even that bad. If it stays in tune, and you don't cut your hand on the frets and the neck isn't twisted, it's a damn fine bass
I wonder what it would sound like with fresh strings, though.
me too!
The 620$ one sounds really good
super well done
Yet again an amazing musician showing he can make any instrument sound great.
You sound the best!
I think all of them sound good and each can serve a unique purpose. The cheaper one definitely sounds flatter but sometimes thats what you want from a bass. Sometimes you want the bright sound that only a more expensive bass can get.
Iamsosaucee I think is just the strings, thet are rusty as fuck
It's 100% the strings. Not really a fair comparison when one has dead strings.
its the strings my dude
edit: also you never ever want a 'flatter' sound from a bass.
The strings probably cost more than the guitar from the *flea market* itself.
ItzBacon Nah, it completely depends on the genre you're playing. A bass with a flatter sound usually fits better in a EDM/House song, where a bass with a more ringing and rich timbre would sound out of place and not fit the other sounds at all.
Good thing you have bass back
Ur editing is so fcking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Funk me, you're talented!*
420 dog years
I'll gladly go with the $20.
Only Davie504 makes a $20 bass sound like a $1000 bass!
the 20 bass is loterally the only one with old strings on....sounds alright aswell, would love to hear it with fresh strings on
Think the 20 bucks Bass needs new strings, my dude. When the strings are worth more than the instrument.
They were rusty.
Personally, the type of music I play and listen too sound like the $20 bass, so I find that sound most appealing, however its obvious the other two have far superior sound in terms of range and clarity. But the muddy tone you get on a shitty used bass speaks more too me.
If you're willing to share some of that music... Please do, I might discover something new
just like teens who enjoy mcdonalds cant appreciate the delicate of a full course; casuals who cant tell the difference between a haut medoc and first growth
He literally says in his comment that he can see the others have better clarity and range...
I think you like the sound of flatwounds which have the rich darker sound
any punk band ever
Love this video. Just shows it’s not the instrument it’s the person playing it they all rocked
It's all about the man, you are incredible. Both are just a tool for Da Man You Man
theres just something charming about the 20 dollar one... maybe its how warm it sounds
Alex Nute the 5000 one sounds way warmer, its also more crisp, fresh and full
UGSDIT well some people prefer p bass pickups and some people prefer j bass pickups it's all subjective but changing the strings would make it sound way better
You should do like a bass comparison between all your basses ranging from lower to higher price
Juan Francisco Herrera good idea
They all sound so different so cool
I like how each bass has its own unique sound
you’re such an inspiration man
you have no idea
hella pure Same
Very impressive but can you give me the $620 bass?
Thuper Nice
Thuper Duper
This is an original one
Veterano 4K well someone didn't get the joke...
Thuper
same
The 20 dollar bass has the best sound if you play jazz because it is very smooth
The 20$ strings looks like it has gone through countless wars before
Very impressive but can you play a $20 amp vs $5,000 amp
Well that's one that would be a little different mic'd up and recorded vs hearing them live and in person. That said, with bass you can pretty much skip the amp altogether and plug in directly with naught but a cheap pre-amp. The sound will vary by different recording methods and equipment of course, but just for the purposes of making a video an expensive amp is pretty unneccessary.
He doesn't use an amp.he just plug the bass into the soundcard
PLS DO THIS
If you really want to test a cheap amp vs an expensive one it would be much more effective to go to your local music shop and try it yourself. Doing it in a video is not really going to come out the way you think.
Very impressive but can you play Matchbox Twenty with 20 Matchbox cars?
Andrew Huang probably can.
Your signature has such a great pop and tone to it.
Damn, you can definitely notice a massive difference. Also, you played the guitar quite well.
BASS
*Ah, yes. A Flea market.*
AAAAAH Now I get it :D Thanks
How did I not see that
The $20 one uses old corroded strings, that's not fair
That's why it's 20$
It did give it a bit of an advantage over the over zingy fresh strings, didn't it. The new strung basses can't compete with those fulsome, retro tones.
It means cheap can be awesome
None of these videos are fair, we don't know how the bass is recorded, he can do whatever he wants with the sound on the computer.
I feel like anyone who has a $20 bass isn't gonna change the strings like, ever.
Toca muitoooo
The 5k bass is amazing!!!!!! That wood combo and grain is so siiiiiiiick!
It's the player that matters 90%...The bass is just a tool
And here the player is a GOD.
You barely figured that out?
He's not a player.
He IS god.
($20 bass plays): - Hmmm... not bad!
($620 bass plays): - WOW! Much better!
($5,000 bass plays): - DAAAAAAAAAAMN!
Davidson Paulo Supra is a new company in Germany. If you look up basstheworld.coms video on it, you’ll basically find the holy grail
This video shows that it is not the instrument which makes a great bass player but the skill of the musician. All the guitars sound great when paired with your skills.
Thanks for posting.
I prefer the warmer less high fi bass sound so that Roytek sounded alright, with some new pickups and strings, I think that thing could sound alright assuming the intonation isn't shot.
probably got tetanus from the 20$ bass' strings
:(
Davie504 lol
😂😂 lmfao
xD
I'd say the 6mm of rock hard calluses on the fingers of each of his hands protected him. :) But, seriously, Davie504, no more rusty strings of unknown origin, okay? The only chances you should take with those hands are musical ones. ;)
Best was Davie’s signature bass. Had that punch into it and not as much grit as the £20 one. The 5k one sounded too fat
Cavolo, nelle tue mani suonano tutti bene! OMG
I like the way you SLAP IT ! You make a 20$ bass sound like a 5000$ one VERY IMPRESSIVE !
Very impressive, but can you play Eye of the Tiger with a tiger's eye?
For legal reasons, no. (Could do a cats eye marble, though.)
Tiger's eye is actually a mineral thought, so it's actually pretty reasonable to make a plectra out of it
oh, I thought he would have to murder a murder-kitten. That sounds much safer.
Very impressive, but can you play ghost with ghosts
haaaaahaahahahaa
davie? may i have ur 20 dollar bass? cause of u im playing bass tabs on my acoustic guitar.. u r an inspiration thanks for being a part of my life definitely
I think your signature bass is the best, maybe with the $ 5,000 pickups :)
His signature sounded the best. $5000 is just too ridiculous to pay for an instrument when you can get a signature one with your specs on it that sounds even better.
jmcsquared x2
But it's not a Fodera, that's a life time investment.
You paid 4 grand for that extra string?
the extra string needs extra space on the neck, also needs an extra big pickup, extra headstock for the extra tuner and an extra bridge saddle
Hahahha
If you can rip ... they all rip. Great vid really enjoyed the the video. Edit was great along with play choice.
The quality differences are noticeable, but as always, the most important thing is the musician.
One thing we can't experience though is how it FEELS to play each bass. Great instruments make you feel like you have the wind at your back and work with you.
