  • Recently got this Kala U-Bass (bass ukulele). I muted the original bass (Jamerson) from the multitrack and recorded the bass uke straight into Logic

    I own a ukulele and for the first time today ever saw a ukulele bass. I was at Sam Ash Music and saw one and was impressed. Came back to watch vids of ukulele basses on RUclips and found your video amongst all the videos and I have to say your video sold me on this bass. I gotta get one after seeing/hearing your video. Thanks for posting.

      It's still not the real thing, if you listen carefully. you can tell right away if you listen to his other video with a normal bass.
      I was thinking of getting these things and then I thought maybe I should just get a real bass.

  • @johnnywilson8529
    @johnnywilson8529 9 лет назад +24

    Awesome playing man, I can tell you really studied Jamerson's line. A lot of uke basses have a string noise/attack similar to an upright, a clack, but you achieved a very smooth attack, more like an electric with flat wound strings. Did you do anything special with your strings/technique/signal chain to achieve that?
