THE ESSENTIAL UKULELE BASS / MINI BASS VIDEO! (Kala vs Flight vs Fender)

[@UkuleleWales]

Great video showing them all Thank You guys. I am LOVING the new colours on the Flight basses. 🥰

[@johnd942]

That final jam session was brilliant!

[@4stringboy]

Bass and beards, I got everything I needed from this video. Lovely playing boys!

I played the KALA fretless and liked it alot! Then in addition to the instruments you introduce here, Alex, there’s BLACKSTAR 🇬🇧 w\ their Carry-on mini electric bass guitar 🎸 I play one, it’s a great instrument!

[@lokiatwa]

Hey any chance you have any advice on strings for the blackstar

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Dr Google says its 23' scale so those kala stings will work and do a good job I'm sure.

[@vince5678]

What about Blackstar?

[@jdoane67]

Thanks for the video? Can you tell me the weight difference between the Fender hollow body and a Kala hollow body ubass?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

No idea but the fenders will be noticeably heavier

[@jdoane67]

That’s what I was wondering, thanks!

[@teresapavone1549]

You don't mention intonation which I believe can be a problem with Flight

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

A change of strings makes the flights intonation as good as the Kalas that's a fair point

[@kohanmike]

I guess I can say this is a pet peeve of mine, I'm a stickler about the designation. To me the proper generic term is bass uke, just like the other uke designations; soprano uke, concert uke, tenor uke, baritone uke. Uke bass or ukulele bass is not consistent. I will only call the Kala a U-Bass because that's their specific model name. Since mid 2014, I've gone through 54 bass ukes/mini bass guitars, and now my collection will amount to fourteen RondoMusic Hadean violin/Hofner style copies. Let me add that Kala licensed the bass uke design from Owen Holt of Road Toad Music, which is why there's a toad on the faceplate of the Kala U-Bass.

Why so much fret buzz on the flight poplar?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Very light factory strings on the Flight, the audio is possibly picking it up acoustically in the room.
