102 - What if it ISN'T a Fender? Scott Abandons the P bass! Technique is EVERYTHING! - a podcast by Scotts Bass Lessons

Are Fenders really the best option, especially when you’re looking to play professionally? Maybe not? In today’s podcast, we’re exploring why your bass doesn’t HAVE to be a Fender and some alternatives that can come close in sound and vibe. AND why you may not want a Fender style instrument at all! Is there such a thing as the perfect sound? The perfect bass? Can you love a sound on someone else but not yourself? Does it, in fact, actually all come down to technique, rather than the bass you’re playing?!

In this episode you're going to learn:

• About some basses and bass brands that come close to the Fender style and vibe, in various budget brackets
• About where you might want to look if you’re intentionally NOT going Fender
• All kinds of ways of thinking about bass tone and how you might find YOUR OWN
• Why Scott is turning away from the P bass?
• How it all ultimately might come down to technique
• And much, much more!
