I have 2 high dollar Fender basses and a Chinese clone of a 3/4 size Fender bass. I haven't opened the cases of any of them since I bought my first U-Bass (Kala), followed by my Caramel U-Bass several years ago.
So I'm researching bass guitars for my 12 year old grandson and I was brought to your video and channel! I think I might have found the answer to what bass to get him. Now to find an affordable bass amp.. New sub here thanks!!
I would get him a short scale bass The cheapest one is the squier mini precision bass which is 200 dollars in sweetwater (free shipping and 2yr warranty)
I have a Fender Fullerton ukulele bass. The strings are metal-wrapped nylon, very comfortable to play. The rubber strings available on other uke basses have a lot of traction, causing a "sticky" feel when playing. In practice, it's mostly only noticeable during slides. Otherwise they're very comfortable to play. Nylon-core strings feel better and sound brighter to me, so I prefer them, but the rubber strings aren't bad. Oh, solid-body uke basses use steel-core strings, pretty much just conventional bass strings. So you have 3 distinct options!
@@tysonblake515Thanks for your thoughts. My U-Bass has Aquila Thunderblack strings and I find them to be great. Perhaps it's because I don't know any better. LOL And they'll probably last a long time without having to change them. So, I figure if I get used to them, they'll be a breeze.
First off, Hawaii isnt asian its pacific, second off the ukulele describes the transition from thr machete being a Portuguese instrument (which it still is) to an Hawaiian instrument made by Hawaiian people with different tuning, strings, and builds along with different woods. While yes they are similar they are not the same. Additionally this is a U-bass which is literally just a bass slapped on a uke body with rubber strings.
I dare to disagree: They only sound good if they are plugged in. Why should I buy a semi accoustic Instrument if it only sounds good plugged in? In that case I can just buy a fully electric short scale bass…
@@drawadog What the hell sort of music would you play that sort of awful crap to? Nearly all "demonstrating" bass players feck about, playing exotic twiddling to show how good and clever they are, instead of trying to make the bass sound like it does on nearly all records that sell in any quantity. And doing this twiddling on a bass mandolin is the height of stupidity. Its real role is to sound more like a acoustic double bass without the weight, bulk, fragility, difficulty and expense.
This is the best sound I've heard out of a U-Behs

Isn't that Danny Sapko?

For a moment i thought there was no strap and you were just playing it really really uncomfortably haha. Sounds awesome though, I want one.
What it sound like without an amp?
What tuning do you put it in?
Danny?
You see that new Fender Fullerton Uke bass they just released? I havent seen anyone make a video on one yet
Same
They sound better with steel bass strings!
I seen a number of reviewers comment on the "stickiness" of the strings. Can you offer any observations to that point?

Spray String-Eaze on them, problem solved.
@@SpringfieldGuy thanks
I love my u bass as it gives me the standup bass sound, plus it’s easier on my woman hands.
I'm old GREG!!!!
That's a phrase I haven't heard in yeeears 😂
How to sound like Danny Sapko on BEHS ukulele in 3 minutes and 13 seconds
Now can we make a bass that sounds like a ukulele?
Yea just put ukulele strings on it
BEHS!!!
In my country ukulele basses cost more than electric basses
That is a Machete.........the Hispanic people took their musical instruments to Asia (hawaii). Hawaians only changed the name to uculele.
Ukulele. There is no "c" in the Hawaiian alphabet.
