we put out the call<\/a> for someone to submit a rare (as in under-200-made rare) ’65 thru ’71 Fender Bass V as a Bass of the Week, and the video below actually shows that bass being played. (Note: The Bass V is the very first production 5-string electric bass.) We are still hoping someone that owns a Bass V does submit a BOTW entry.<\/p>\nThis is the list of every bass seen and heard in the video.<\/p>\n

As far as we know, no other video showcases this much highly desired electric bass goodness as this one does.<\/p>\n
The best part? You can hear tone vs. tone from bass to bass all in one sitting. You get a very good idea just from sound alone why certain basses from specific years are so sought after.<\/p>\n
Which bass has the best sound to your ears?<\/h3>\n
