Like a multi-faceted funk feel finally settling into the groove, Bass Player LIVE! 2012 is now moving full bore with one of our most potent and diverse events to date. On October 20 & 21, Los Angeles is your must-do destination, as we present Lifetime Achievement Awards to rock icon Chris Squire of Yes and Bob Marley and the Wailers reggae legend Aston "Family Man" Barrett. Both will perform at the Saturday night concert and appear at live clinic interviews. In addition, the late genius Jaco Pastorius will be honored at the concert with a Posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award presented to the Pastorius family on the 25th Anniversary of his untimely passing. The ceremony will include a specially-edited advance clip of the upcoming Jaco documentary hosted by Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. Newly named Berklee Bass Department Chair Steve Bailey will resume his musical director role for annual All-Star-Jam.
An unparalleled clinic line-up, which will once again coincide with gear exhibitors rooms and booths at S.I.R., includes debut spots by Duran Duran's John Taylor, Metal master Frank Bello (teaming with Megadeth's David Ellefson), Whitesnake bassist Marco Mendoza, bassist/educator extraordinaire Damien Erskine, and LAMA Bass Department Chair Jerry Watts performing with the John Daversa Progressive Big Band. Returning clinicians include Nathan East, 2010 Bass Player Lifetime Award recipient Alphonso Johnson, Rickey Minor, Hadrien Feraud, and Bobby Vega. In addition, Robert Trujillo and Steve Bailey will present a tribute clinic to Jaco Pastorius, while Phil Chen and Nathan Watts will offer a tribute clinic to the late Bob Babbitt and Duck Dunn. Elsewhere, Brian Bromberg will do a live broadcast of the two-day happenings on his Bass On The Broadband internet radio station, and Stu Hamm will host clinics in the Musician's Institute room.

NIce! Got me a California U-Bass (natural finish) a few months ago and I'm not looking back. It's a beautiful thing and I love it, love it, love it! Thanks Kala.
awesome basses....
Sound like elastic bands.
I believe that the sound of the U Bass is improved tremendously by using regular bass guitar strings. ..
+JOHN THE BAPTIST Won't this affect the stability of the neck in the long run due to the tension of strings made out of metal? And is it possible to achieve the necessary tension so the strings won't flap when being hit while they're still sounding low? I've only seen people slapping metal strings and not striking them. Would be good to know.
I agree with you
I've tried one of these before. The strings where just really floppy feeling and you couldn't slide on the strings well, so you couldn't do much with it. It also can't really slap so that's a deal breaker for me and a lot of people. Fun toy and great tool for people who travel and play upright, but if you play an electric bass, it's definitely not worth around $1000. It's a cool idea, but extremely underdeveloped. Give it at least 5 years before you buy one.
Spencer Beberman just got one today. I waited long enough yeah?
@@tidaltripod2920 I ordered one today. Hopefully 7 years is even better!

who was jamming out with mike meritt @ 1:25?
I Feel like the classic u-bass is a really odd shape and uncomfortable to play
kkkkk, não é tão ruim assim, mas é muito especifico o som dele né!!!
There isn't much decibel to this bass when it's un-amplified. It's not much of an acoustic instrument.
Rubber strings...you could seriously make the same thing for like...$25
Not rubber. A polyurethane type of material.
é bonito, mas o som é uma merda..
Damn, sounds like crap...so many bass celebrities, and how many of them play this thing on a regular basis?
regular bass-is?
that's so cute. but sounds terrible.
Abraham, not this time dude!👎🏻🤭
Terrible solo 😂
Rofl, that sounds like garbage
