Love it!!! I just got asked to play the bass UKE and was kind of freaking out about learning a new thing, so finding out that it's the same as the BASS guitar is fabulous!

I didn't realise they were the same for a while too. If you can already play bass guitar you are laughing, much easlier to carry too!

Oh Chris, the bass that I'm in love with (Nik West edition) is back in stock but they are not shipping internationally at the moment! Arghhhhhh. Probably just as well as I'm skint..... LOL

You make it look easy! A true sign of mastery! I have acquired a U-bass, so I guess now I have to figure out how to play it.

Thanks Steve. I really enjoyed watching your Aklot fretless unboxing, especially as it was fretless. Your playing is great.

Can I ask for some advice in deciding between bass and baritone Uke? Is one better for people with hand problems such as carpal tunnel? I’m a total beginner who prefers low pitched instruments. I don’t plan to play in a group. I’d like to play melodies for my own entertainment. What do you recommend?
@UkuleleWales2 ай бұрын
Hi, the bass and baritone are very different instruments to play with the baritone generally playing chords although it can be played finger style. I have found players who suffer with carpal tunnel can manage the bass but it does depend on ndividual cases.

I have a really hard time strumming uke chords... I can play three, but I have to pause to watch to re-place my fingers... very frustrating. I can, however, pick out melodies with no problems. Would I be better off trying bass ukulele? On a side note, my heritage on my mother's side is Scotland and Wales; my Great-Grandmother Elizabeth Jones from Wales immigrated to U.S.A. with her parents as a child in the mid-1800's (yeah, I know about 90% of Wales has the surname Jones, and Elizabeth is too common also!). I've seen your husband "pass through" in a couple of your ukulele videos. Does he play also?

Hi, interesting question. It does take time to build muscle memory with your fingers for chords, have you been playing long? Playing bass is completely different, like you say, you do just play one note at a time. Maybe have a look at some of my bass lesons to give you more of an idea. Give me a shout if you ahve any questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3bWqWh5q6-Gfbs

Prynhawn da, shw mae, y’all. Thank you so very much for sharing your instrumental knowledge and musical acumen. What fun to listen to your instruction. Through reviewing your channel we have called #Kala and bought a #kalau-basssmhg-fs . That is a Kala UBass Solid Mahogany fretted. We may receive it today from a online source #SweetwaterMusic&ProAudio here in the U.S.A. So just letting you know that your music is reaching the very southern tip of South Texas where it is loved and enjoyed. We will be watching you and learning while we wait to return home when the pandemic woes and issues have diminished. Meanwhile let’s play🎶.

Thank You for such a lovely comment. Apologies for my slow reply, it is a bit hectic with school work right now. It's always lovely to here I am helping folks and inspiring them to learn and espicially if it's encouraged you to buy a bass uke. Hope your new u-bass has arrived by now and you are enjoying it. Greetings all the way to Texas from Wales!

Wonder if these can be converted to baritone uke - with the same strings as baritone - obv a few things will be changed...but...hmmm. Like these except the rubber floppy strings are disappointing - great video and content
@UkuleleWales3 жыл бұрын
Hi, honest answer is I don't know. I've heard of baritone to bass but not the other way around. You would certainly need to alter the nut and saddle. If I find an answer, I'll let you know.
