- James Hill and Bakithi Kumalo (Bass player for Paul Simon) playing Billie Jean on a Kala Acacia Tenor Ukulele and the Kala UBass in our booth at Winter Namm. Thanks to Mighty Uke creator Tony Coleman.
first time I ever heard and listened to the lyrics. Great re-interpretation of a classic! Then there's the musicianship.....Wow
It's a bit of a shock when we all know the MJ original so well but once you get over that this guy has a good singing voice without taking himself too seriously.
Brother on a Uke bass? that's what I'm talking about!
ya thats pure inovation of an instrument..just great
The Bass solo is instant thumbs up
Awesome doesn't even come close to describing this performance! Love it :)
awesome inspiration for the acoustic world
Camera man, why deviate from the bass solo? What's up with that? Not cool! :(
I think the U-Bass is gonna be my next bass
So funky, so simple
Cool!!! Never heard like it this before and never cut out a bass solo...LOL!!!
I am blown away.
what a groove!
awesome musicians!
Great Job Dudes! Jammin' Good!!!
Singer's style reminds me of the dude from Cake lol Cool stuff.
That's because of the Heisenbergian uncertainty principle. That might sound strange but it doesn't apply only in quantum mechanics but everytime something oscillates.
When you play short notes in a low frequency you simply can't intonate that great. It's not about skill it's about math and physics.
that is amazing
Amazing
superb!
That was Good!
faaaaaaaaabulous!
I didn't know Kyle Hevacheck could play ukulele... so well!
hells ya...Nice little jam
wow
ya munnnn
nice
He's playing a fretless, so the intonation is all him. But with only a 21" scale it's naturally less forgiving when it comes to intonation. Personally he doesn't sound off to me, but my ear isn't perfect.
My fretted ubass's intonation is spot on (according to my tuner) all the way up to the hole.
Laid back
how blue and swollen did your finger get after this?
is this the only song he can play? i've seen 1000000 + videos of him playing this song.
Very inventive. way better than the original......
Congrats. Is that a tenor or a baritone uke, please?
I know. I think I must have been surfing youtube under the influence when I wrote that. What gibberish!
Is it a Blundstone commercial?
Anyone here ever build a bass soprano? 🤔
It's alot fatter sound than regular electric basses and less sustain which gives it more of the upright bass thump sound.
lol the poor mans loop station
Sounds like Soul Coughing meets Michael Jackson to me.
sounds like a good band named Cake. I hate M Jackson songs, but in this version, it is OK !!!
That white boy's got rhythm...
Eaby: $362 for a fretted spruce.
It sounds like cake did this cover.. which us not a bad thing lol
too bad he doesn't actually sing the beginning
If anyone is interested, I have a new Bass Ukulele Method book available for purchase! Here is the link: payhip.com/b/4I8q
Whitest thing I've seen all week.
Why do you have to bring race into this?
He isn't even playing?
+Eric Blair loop station
+Eric Blair loop station
Eric Blair yep. He's playing that all at once, excluding the bass line.
LoL very good playing but it's no billie jean. The voice's totally wrong...
never let that guy sing again. come on bro we all know you can play the uke well, just hire a REAL singer
why say shit like that?
