I'm so buying one of these things I'm having to go to live in my car and I can't have my standard size base in my car with me it takes too much room so I saw this and it looks amazing I'm going to buy one so I can play in my car acoustic ally or with my little amp

I do live streams from my car, so I know from experience that you can even play it in the driver seat as well, though you might still want the window down. It’s fun to have when stuck in traffic as well. Thanks for watching!

I'm thinking of buying a bass. What are the differences between a jazz bass and a precision bass sound??
@stephencoxbass
@stephencoxbass Күн бұрын
The Jazz is generally more punchy/bright, though you can dial it back. If you like more bite to the tone, the 70s model Jazz has more of that. The P vs J also have different necks: the P is wider, and the J is narrower. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

I think I'm going to pick one up next week. I saw it a month ago and ended up buying a full size acoustic bass instead for dirt cheap but that little guy has good sound and is loud and it doesn't take up space in my truck when I bring it to work.

What about the Amp? Is it necessarily with a Bass Amp? Or a Guitar Amp works with no issue
@stephencoxbass
@stephencoxbass Ай бұрын
The U-Bass has a lot of low end frequency, so I would highly recommend a bass-specific amp. You could technically use a guitar amp and turn the low tone knob all the way down to not hurt the speaker, but the tone will not be enjoyable. Thanks for watching!

I am thinking of buying a set of roundwounds to replace my rubber strings, but I am scared off by all the strings that say they only work on Kala U-Basses and no other brands. I have a Harley Benton one. Can I put those strings that say Kala only, or should I avoid them?

There are forums on Reddit and Facebook where people do these types of things and discuss them. I think the most important factors are to make sure the scale length is the same and that the bass has a truss rod. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Gooday Stephen, if you listen to Peggy Lee singing her hit song "Fever" from 1958 (it's on KZbin) , it is just her voice and the walking bass line backing her. It is easy to work out the bass notes by ear and a great song to play along with.

Excellent lesson. 29:50 really nailed the walking line. Thanks for showing the process that you use to work through a chord progression to workout a Bass accompaniment. This lesson covers so much and explains volumes of the thought behind the bassists choices. I am sure I’ll watch this again and workout some written notes to fix this to my playing. You’re a great teacher and a groove master. 🎶🤙🏽. Cheers

recently replaced rubber for flat wound and i’m getting a loud click when the string hits the fret. does that get better with time? or is there something to do to lessen that metal on metal click noise?
@stephencoxbass
@stephencoxbass Ай бұрын
Is it when you fret the note or when you pluck the note? I’ve noticed a quiet click when pushing the string down on occasion, but if it’s when you are plucking it might be due to the action being slightly too low. Try taking a bit of the high end eq out to see if that lessens the volume of the click enough. Thanks for watching!
