| 0:00.0 | I was just saying I've got this session down the road, and I'm not sure if I'm going to bring a jazz or a P or both. |
| 0:12.9 | And that's what we're talking about today, right? |
| 0:14.6 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 0:15.2 | Is Jazz bass versus P-base. |
| 0:18.7 | Which did you get first? |
| 0:20.6 | Like, did you get a P-base first or a jazz bass? Let me guess. Let me guess. It was a jazz bass, wasn't it? Was it a jazz bass? Well, no. It was a P-Base. My first base that I rented, my parents rented me a bass from Music One Workshop in Callis Bell, Montana. And it was a P-Base. It was |
| 0:38.8 | either like a honer or a, it was not a Hoffner. It was some H company. But it was, you know, an off-brand |
| 0:46.3 | P-base. And I remember thinking, because it was a P-base, I remember thinking like, oh, this thing is, |
| 0:53.7 | I would see other bases. And the one that I had, I just didn't think was any good. And it was actually kind of an awesome base. I wish I still had it.

| 1:29.9 | Really? |
| 1:30.8 | No, the P-base, but like really aggressive. I think that might have been my first P-base. Oh, maybe not. Really? No, the P-Based at Doom, right? Yeah, the P-Based are Doom, yeah. That was my first P-Based. I had jazz basses before. I had, so the history of jazz bass. But honestly, I didn't actually have that many real jazz basses. Like the first jazz bass I had was a 70s one. |
| 1:47.1 | I think it was like 77, 78, 78. |
| 1:50.3 | Like the three bolts. |
