The SBL Podcast

So, what makes a particular bass guitar a classic? While some basses are undoubtedly born great (it’s a testament to Leo Fender that the P-Bass is still one of the most played instruments ever): some achieve greatness over time and some have greatness thrust upon them (Rickenbacker have long enjoyed the star power of Lemmy, Geddy Lee and Chris Squire, for example). And so, for your viewing pleasure, we’ve put a spotlight on 5 of the most iconic bass guitars of all time.

In this episode:

• What sucks about a Hofner Club Bass?
• If you’ve never played a P-Bass – you simply have to!
• What kept a Thunderbird at the top of Ian’s wish list?
• Will Scott pass our blindfold test?
• And much, much more!
