I heard differences, but I could not assign them to the respective basses...but one I got so right: I knew with 100% certanty that the Bass 1 was the Sandberg. The bass lacked what I like about P basses - the huge low fundament and it had too much treble. That is what Sandberg is known for and that is what I hate about their basses. Got that one totally right. The rest was difficult. All sounded like good P basses, eventhough Bass 5 had a bit less attack than Bass 2-4 (which I dont like)

This inspired me to plug in the P Bass and jam a bit. Fun Comparison. I'm a big advocate of kicking ass with what you can afford. Potentially a lot of bang for the buck if you find a good Squire P Bass and set it up properly . Its wood, each individual is slightly different sounding IMO

I've owed, used and gigged 100+ basses and only ever owned 1 PBass (which I no longer have). They are not versitile, they are popular because producers and sound engineers both find them easy to eq into the mix. Unfortunately time has moved on and playing many types of music requires a better built more flexible instrument (usually a 5 string with a good basic on board eq) , which the PBass is not.

All sound the same to me too. Apart from brief dalliances with other basses I have only played a P Bass for the last 40 years. The main reason apart from the sound is the neck width. They are the only basses which give you acres of room on the fingerboard which I like, and is the reason why I've never got along with Jazz Basses

I figured that # 4 was the Sandberg or Fender because of the harmonics when being picked. Surprised the hell out of me to be told it's the HB. I already have 2 USA Fender P's too. I also have 3 HB basses, a J, a MM and a MP. I think a HB-20 is in my future. Love the HB-J. The MP and the MM are very nice but just don't suit my taste.
Great video! Please do a slap comparison with a wide mix of P, J, PJ, PMM, Humbuckers Series/Parallel etc.

I made a list of which one I liked most. Order was G&L, Fender, Squier/Harley Benton The Sandberg was the most distinguishable out of all of them to me because it had less boom in it which is cool for some stuff but terrible for other stuff so I'm not sure where to put it. The others were all pretty similar to me in the bass territory. Soundwise Squier and Harley Benton can be used just as well as the others so I'd conclude just buy what you can afford.
