Percy White: Hi and welcome back again. This is Percy and I was telling you earlier about choosing different basses for different technique or different sounds that you want. Earlier I was playing a six string bass, this is four string bass, its a Fender Precision Bass. I have had this bass for over 20 years and the difference in this bass than the other bass is that this has got a nice heavy wood and it gives you in fact full sound, if you playing it. At the same time you can use it to give you nice tonal quality if you are playing something, like a funk feel. Thats another good thing about having this bass. So, this is just another example of how you get the right kind of bass for the right kind of sound. The six string bass that I played earlier, you still have the highest C and low B which will extend this range, but for a nice basic sound that it has a lot of variety to it, a great Precision Fender Bass will do the job for you.
