Welcome back Julia. During you absence I was moved to purchase a Sandberg (I call her Sandi). Its a fantastic instrument.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

That's awesome! Enjoy the bass, James. 💪//Kris

[@estherlord6330]

Julia is one of my favorite for on line learning !! I also love learning with Rich Brown /The Brown'stone.

[@crashwelder5337]

Julia is as talented as she is beautiful. She has an excellent Groove and I love watching her play.

[@frozenborderline2109]

If ever in doubt of renewing my musical commitments (god forbid), I can look no further than your example(s) and demos. Welcome back, Julia!

[@elrafa782]

It was such a treat ! Passion humility honesty, we saw all that today guys ! Thanks you so much 🙏

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks so much for the kind words! It's always a pleasure hanging out and jamming with Julia! Cheers //Kris

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Awesome upload. Truly was a great insight from two great musicians.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks so much, we both appreciate you dude!! //Kris

[@georgespencer3973]

Always great to see Julia on here. I’ll bet she’s a good teacher.

[@KairuX32]

Julia is the best!

[@hoferlchg]

Hello, Julia, my name is Luís Carlos Hofer; I'm a big fan of yours in Brazil... welcome back...hugs!

[@TheDarkKnight73]

Awesome need more bass talk

[@bubuAudio]

she's awsome 💕 I loved that guitar intro solo, though

[@robbartlett5887]

Julia has introduced me to the new genre of bass covers by various artists including herself. seeing the intricacies of bass lines in common songs has opened up a new world of listening to songs. Julia led my interests to JuliaPlaysGroove channel on KZbin. The bass lines are as important to me as the lyrics

[@brunobarcone8345]

Complimenti Julia ❤

[@barrydouglas6276]

Welcome back! Your playing as always is lovely and my, my my that instrument looks so good. The occasional fret buzz suggests that either the action or relief is not perfect. I don't mind but Thomann would do well to avoid this in future.

[@marquisdecarabas1312]

Sadly missed it... I realy wanted to ask Julia if she could cover and show some Ton Steine Scherben Bass stuff in the future 😢

[@anthonycook4297]

Nice🙌🏽🎵🌊

[@shipsahoy1793]

😵‍💫Another video bites the dust..🥳

[@joermnyc]

Julia should check out a Fender/Squier Bass VI sometime.

[@mattgibson6144]

Julia's such a sparkling personality, and you can see her love of music when you watch her play - so expressive and such a talent. Not sure I could concentrate on my lesson with her as my teacher though 🔥🤔🤣

I have a gig for you in the USA! S Flarda this winter Julia! You will love it here in the winter. I just have to make sure my wife is gone… for good… 😂 And Kris. What’s up with the Georgia license plate?

[@congapaul5131]

Julia, thank you for your amazing musical intro. I missed the live show cause my job is finished at 17:00. Julia i wish you a good musical lucky future, thank you the time you give us all, thank you.

[@bubuAndBass]

Hello !! amazing chat !! At 49:41 is that a famous song or it's "just" jamming ? that's beautiful !! 🤩

[@stevenstewart5122]

What is your favorite Tube?

[@andrewpinner3181]

Thanks Kris, thanks Julia, great interview ! Congrats Julia on your latest accomplishments ! A string question, what gauge do you use ?

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks! Julia uses 45-105 gauge on 4 string basses and the fitting 5th string on a 5 string bass. Cheers //Kris

[@andrewpinner3181]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses Thanks Kris !

[@victorcrews9004]

Julia who is your favorite bass player?

[@user-du1yk7uk9v]

More DISCO-FUNK guys!!!! This is the REAL bass Music!

[@josephhughes9490]

I'm so disappointed I missed the live show. Julia isn't around there much. Would have loved to shout out to her.

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

That's alright, she'll be around again eventually. Julia loves being around she's just super busy (which is the best thing that can happen to a young musician :) ). Cheers //Kris

[@josephhughes9490]

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses Kris, Thanks so much. Julia rarely comes around and with you and Julia as my absolute favorites and incredibly talented I always want to see you both. You are both inspirational.

[@Nanu4711Nanu]

[@katevalentine7075]

I'd like to see her do a collaboration with Fil Henlty of "Wings of Pegasus " fame

[@yetimatzenightcat8702]

Der warwick ist einfach der knaller 😂👏👏👏👏👍

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Schon, oder? Ein Statement 😜 //Kris

[@shipsahoy1793]

Jeff Beck has a cool right hand technique on guitar.

[@VincentMennella-hg9fs]

Julia I purchased my upright bass from a George Hofer of Savanna, Georgia. Any relation? (I noticed the Georgia license plate in the background.)

[@Ca_milo_G]

400 👍

[@nycshelbygt500]

Could you imagine if #JuliaHofer was your professor at University? The class would fill up with 200 students. Give me an F on the first day. Curriculum: Week One: #GeddyLee Week Two: #Flea Week Three: Let's get #Funky Week Four: Slap City Thesis: #Rush's #2112 Final Exam: #YYZ while riding a #Unicycle

[@user-ub5pi3wo6t]

I am a former musician, a drummer, in the U.S. I would like to know when and where I could travel to see Julia perform live. Thank you. My name is Skip Lackey.

[@hazardeur]

so are drummers calling themselves "musicians" now?

[@cskeise]

💙👊😎💙👊😎

[@madfranklin.]

Where do I get that MM P configuration? If that’s a Jazz neck spec, fantastic! Throw in some white pearloid inlays.

[@yigitcengil2465]

It`s a Sandberg bass

[@fraggleoscuro]

Sandberg VM4

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey, here's the bass (there are all kinds of versions and finishes of course): tho.mn/95dzo Cheers //Kris

[@klaussturh3445]

guitarists and fingerpicking? I've been a huge Richie Kotzen fan since the late 80s, but when it comes to "intensive" fingerpicking there are really good guitarists: O.K., Spanish flamenco musicians in general, but how about Matteo Mancuso?

[@kevinkerfoot9102]

don't you need a realy low action to do overtones?

[@MichaelEdwardLee]

You said noonoonoonoonoo; and it remind me of mork and pam.

[@nycshelbygt500]

#JuliaHofer #TheBassonator #BigPineapple

[@shipsahoy1793]

That’s the action I prefer on bass 2.5 mm 😉 (or 0.1 inches).👨🏻

[@emrenpegoyan9409]

harmonies and harmonics telling different stories . .

[@jimpatro]

Great, but... seems like a lot of bassists really want to play guitar. They almost never play down the neck.

[@josephukedaddy0548]

Will they ever get rid of that zipper noise on guitars?? The noise when you slide your finger a little. Drives me crazy. Hurts my ears. And everyone seems to do it. I hear it major songs. 😢

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Hey, if you're not a fan of that scratchy noise you might wanna check out coated strings. Those are silent when sliding the fingers around. //Kris

[@MrRickburns]

I want that bass. Take my money!

[@ajconstantine3593]

She thinks the pineapple gag is still a secret in 2024? 😅🤷‍♂️

[@Paul1210JesusIsLord]

Amazing Grace John 1:14-16 ESV - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

[@CAMSTAS]

Why are you forcing the poor girl to speak English? Don't you notice that she can hardly express herself in a foreign language? KZbin offers plenty of translation options in all languages of the world. She would surely be able to share interesting things if she could use her own vocabulary.
