finally a bassist who treats this as an instrument on its own! proper technique and great sound for this kind of music. exactly what the ubass does so great! lovely music too!
This is solid right here! I just got me a U bass because of this guy. It's almost sickening how close this is to the upright bass sound. I'm using mine to finish an acoustic project I'm working on.
I am a bluegrass banjo picker, part time bass player that recently bought a Kala UBass. What a surprise, this little monster is really something. The stand up and guitar bass on going on the auction block. The traditionalists give you more dirty looks that should be legal but can't argue with the sound. Well done Kala, if you made an amp this light you would have the best of both worlds.
I love bluegrass because in my opinion it’s what REAL country music is supposed to be. The entire group sounds awesome 😎! Also, that U bass really sounds great in the mix. Also, Every Paul McCartney Beatles fan needs to get one of these because it sounds exactly like my Hofner 500/1 Beatle bass for a fraction of the price! The Hofner is a short scale bass already but this is even smaller and i’ll bet easier to play and transport to gigs. I definitely gotta get one now!
I'm not a bluegrass fan, but I actually liked the sound of your group! LOVE THE U-BASS! This would be an excellent upgrade for my current back-breaking neck-diving electric bass that I play at church. I'm trying one of these out tomorrow!
good stuff. been contemplating a kala ubass and wondered how it might fit with traditional Hawaiian music...since bluegrass is pretty similiar I think I'm sold...Now waiting on my tax returns to pick up my new tow..LOL.
Finally, a good use for those rubber stringed things! Sounds perfect for that genre of music, and a lot easier to deal with than an upright. Great job!
To be fair, I've just started playing with a borrowed electro-acoustic shortscale (30") bass, and although if I'm playing alone it sounds reasonably loud to me, my son's electro-acoustic guitar drowns it out when playing together both unplugged. This bluegrass sounds fantastic. :)
My first youtube comment/question ever! Great sounding, like upright bass! I want to get my 12 yr old granddaughter exact sound Kala that you are playing. What is the current Kala model/wood/strings config to compare to? She currently plays Ibanez Mikro, but complains of weight on shoulder. Love that sound and your style!

Except that he’s laughing at it the whole time.
@@sesa1076 yeah how dare he enjoy himself
You’re silly

this is inspirational. most bluegrass purests would frown for sure, and who needs them anyways?
GREAT TO SEE & HEAR YOU GUYS, BUD, E.T., MICKEY & GEORGE...from HAMPTON, VA

Thanks, I was using a Samson wireless plugged into a GK Combo 112 amp, really has a good fat sound
This made my heart smile. I hope all these gentlemen are doing well.
I can't get enough of this, on the fly fantastic jam.
Anyone with a "Bass Pro" shirt on is coooool, great notes guys ;)
It's amazing that the tiny Kala U-bass sounds almost like an upright bass.
Epic group. Glad to have found it! Cheers for posting.
puts a smile on me
I bought one of these kala U basses and i love it
I must have watched this video a hundred times. Love it guys.
Wow, I'm loving the Ubass, sounds so warm and round. Makes me even doubt this is completely acoustic. Sounds incredible.
Pretty sure it's amped.... from what I've read about the U Bass. Don't quote me though... :)
oh this is through an amp for sure... but even an upright doesn't sound that loud acoustically
Enjoying this track in 2020! Great tune and nice bass track; that little bass is on fire!

Einfach klasse 👍👏👏👏👏
U guys are freakin sick
Amazing
Beatyful
Once I put my headphones in, the bass dominates even the singers! Is this really the acoustic sound picked by the mic on the camera?!?
Of course
Wonderful ensemble! All that's missing here is a fiddle.
Parabéns! muito bom
Great music!!! I love the U-Bass!!! Was it the solid Mahogany or the laminated "Rumbler" model?
Rumbler because I had that same model
Pickin' and grinnin' !
Why cant all old people be this cool

Combine that with a Markbass amp and you would have the best of both worlds.
has anyone ever done the song truck driving man in bluegrass style? hmmmmm
yyyyyyyyyyyyyhaaaaaaaaaaaa..........
great.... from Chile.
🎶💞👏
Your bandmates are looking at you and the ubass thinking "how is that possible?!" 😂

Kala U bass Magony finish with a Gallien Krueger Combo MB-112 amp, I got the bass from Sweetwater Music
Which model is it? All solid fretted mahogany with no preamp/ built in tuner?
i love this shit better than mcdonalds..fuck yeah, good music
Which model is this Kala?
Is that U bass plugged in / amplified?
is the bass in the video plugged or unplugged? The small thing sounds loud!
Was the level way up on the bass for demo purposes?
Is this on iTunes?
Which U bass is this and what is your amp?
Plugged. The UBass has almost no volume without amplification.
It looks like he's using a wireless send to the amp.
It is great, but what we want is a little bass that puts out that much with no amp,oh well.
What is the name of this song?
Don't Say Goodbye
Is this U Bass the Rumbler model?
It is one of the early mahogony models with no yuner built in
