I have watched this sho probably 3 times the past week and it is absolutely amazing!! Your drummer is awesome!! Love his solo, and when he puts the cymbal on the snare I have never seen that before just genius!! Your bass playing is so great Johnny, you are a true bass player, your hobo depot vids do no justice on what you can really do, and this singer is amazing!!! That's what makes the world go round. Love it. !! That groove, and everyone is dressed so clean. The drummer is amazing
Watching this again for the 6th time twice this week. Such a great gig. A d that bass tho Johnny and all the solos and that chic is singing like a boss Thanks for sharing thses gig’s with us buddy.
Johnny, I only listened to the 1st song. It was all I could take. Yall killed it. Everyone of you was so on point and the groove never died. Peace and love brother.
I am a professional drummer (20+yrs) and I just got a Sterling Musicman Stingray SUB as my 1st bass. I saw your video on Stingrays and was doing more research for the sound. On my bass search I went through 2 PJ's and tried a bunch of others. But the Sterling Stingray SUB spoke to me on a random trip to get my PJ set up. I told the tech to stop and I wanted to switch out my bass. She's been with me about 2 mos and she sounds beautiful. I hope to make "Bea Arthur" (my bass, get it? lol) sing like you did with yours. And you have a new fan. Salute fam!
Got my girl Tanya and my brother Marcus!!!!!!!! Played with Tanya in The Katz Band and grew up and recorded with Marcus! Good peoples!!! Great set!!!! That Sting Ray sounded good Mr Johnny!!!!!
Thanks Johnny! Shadda ka ka ! I love your posts, your personality, truth and love! I’m in the U.K. so no chance of coming by for a bass set up But enjoy your videos and you’re keeping us cheered up during this pandemic. Stay well!
That lick at 15:39 mark made me jump up. Johnny your a inspiration to me I follow the Hobo Depo videos and started following your band , you are an amazing person , amazing musician glad I came across your channel.
musicdad420 i truly understand your feel,yet the jazz bass was the cat on the scenen,,and the same man who put it there also put the musicman on the scene also...me i love them both almost equally...lol
I am Hispanic BUT music has no language, the bass guitar is the vertebral collapse in a group. Because it must support the other musicians. You must always maintain that time and touch with feeling so that there is a perfect improvisation. I congratulate all the musicians because they performed very very well, and also my respect for JOHNNY LONG because I love the bass guitar and all the secret is in our own HANDS. AMEN !
bflo1000 Is say Jack Bruce has full on tone roll off with the EB-3. The lager years with his Warwick, id agree, but I’d disagree when talking about the EB-3.
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and to see you kick off this gig with Cissy Strut and knowing the meters by now was a full circle moment. Thanks for groovin’ and keepin’ us all movin’
The neck on your Stingray has aged very nicely. They call that look “Roasted Maple Now”. Nice bass and amazing tone. And of course you playing is awesome.
Outdoor gigs are tough too, but man you got some great vibes goin in here.. killer tone and great playing brother. A total honor to simply listen. Thank you.... You made me smile today 🙂 !!!
EQ'ing on the bass and amp, and right hand technique will get you a very close approximation of a Jazz-style bass on a Stingray. It doesn't quite "thump" like Marcus Miller here in this video but I'm sure the cat's amp picked up the slack where the camera mic was weak. The Stingray was and is a very versatile instrument, one of Leo Fender's final and greatest gifts to the low end.
the bass is all original...1978 vintage stingray...what an AMAZING BASS and BAND

I can't tell what the head is but the bass speaker cab looks like an SWR 4-10 Goliath II. Great sounding cab.
great pocket playing bro , i used to play this by the meters .... sick
Whole group is fire. Every single member. And that Stingray sounds incredible. Fits the music/band perfectly.
" Kudos To The The Smooth Legendary " Johnny Lee Long " & Band Once Again ".........
Right on, I'm just giving respect to the instrument. It's so versatile. Leo knew what he was doing when he envisioned.
amazing band!
Hey Johnny, who is the AMAZING ANOINTED vocalist at this gig??? Whoa Baby!!! God Is Good All Of The Time God Is Good!!!

She sings great.,
Great band! Super drummer!
Musicman is great, but a just little less treble would be my favorite sound.
Mine also. Lots of growl w massive low end. Almost reminiscent of Jack Bruce w his EB3 & a cranked Marshall. Or Felix Papalardi or Mel Schacher.
bflo1000 Is say Jack Bruce has full on tone roll off with the EB-3. The lager years with his Warwick, id agree, but I’d disagree when talking about the EB-3.

Excellent !
Nakamichi Sony : without drummer all songs dies !
Wow!!! This Sounds Amazing & Awesome!!! :)

I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and to see you kick off this gig with Cissy Strut and knowing the meters by now was a full circle moment. Thanks for groovin’ and keepin’ us all movin’
Great job! Love that “Come Together” rendition!
For us bass players, the sound of a pre Ernie Ball Stingray is heaven.
There's not a better bass for slapping than a Music Man. It's got that greezy, funky tone no other bass can get. Sic 'em Johnny Long!
tight work man.. your drummer is badass too main!
love it
Nasty nicely funky. Jazzy JAZZ
The whole band is fantastic really. Some really good grooves going on.
