Special thank you to my good friend Dave for loaning me this beautiful vintage Fender!

Both of these basses feature stock/original pickups and hardware. The Junior Jazz is strung with Fender nickel roundwounds 100-45, while the vintage Fender is strung with D'Addario nickel roundwounds.

The recording chain was the same for both basses. Level matched, but no EQ or compression was added in post.
