Once the initial laughter at the small stature of the ukulele bass died down after it was introduced in the 2010s, bass players quickly looked beyond the novelty of a comically small bass and found a useful instrument that not only had a huge tone, but also was also super-portable. It soon became popular among all sorts of musicians looking for an easy-to-play bass that sounds great.
Playing these wee basses back-to-back made something very clear-the components and setup make a difference between a bass that was merely usable and one that was user-friendly.
Some of these uke basses are closer to traditional ukuleles, but they all have a few things in common: Each comes from makers that specialize in ukulele family instruments; they’re small; and they wouldn’t be out of place at a ukulele strumming party. All of the basses in this roundup have onboard tuners, which helps, since the elastic strings fitted to most of the instruments seem to require frequent tuning. - Hudba
Strings make a big difference
Get a bass player for this demo please
Somebody finally said it
What about the e-string sound? ;)
Not really a review, more of a 3/4 sound sample.
I’ll grab a Chinese Uke Bass! These prices are rediculous.
Never plays the E string!!
Peter Marshall actually he does. Multiple times.
@@nathanmagnus5008 He should be playing the lower strings more if it is a Bass review
@@nathanmagnus5008 The E string is the thick string he is resting his thumb on. And no, he doesn't play it a single time.
The G on the Oscar Schmidt sounds like it's twisted, which creates a chorused effect.
and the E string ??? You don't play it ?
the last one is definitely attractive
How do I get a Kalau-Bass of yours?
Here in Brazil you do not have it, I like you too much, playing your videos.
Thank you.
Lol here in Europe is full of ukulele basses, sites like thomann or gear4music sells every type of bass(electric, acoustic, hollowbody, bass ukulele) lol
Once the guy went fretless ...played off key in between the lines ,not a bass player

We call it microtonality
Had to fast forward past the goldtone, sounded awful. Loved the last solid body the best.

Gold tone is the best and longest scale. This guy had no tone adjustment. They have roundwound strings for it too.
Playing by numbers? Lol
I gave you a thumbs down for not playing the E string on any of the ukes.
Man that was some really terrible playing 😬 😘 (didn't say much about them either..) C'mon guyyys xXx
those rubber bass strings should be illegal, they are horrible!
You are not a bass players my friend.
