I just found your videos, and I wanted to say how cool it is that you put the charts in the middle of the screen instead of at the bottom where they get covered by add popups and video control stuff. Thanks for that! I'm a guitar player who just got my first Ubass
Thank you for the feedback. I've tried it both ways, but never really thought about that being an advantage. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for adding the time stamps!
This is perfect. I ordered myself the Hadean u-bass start my journey.
Awesome! Those are surprisingly good for the price!
I’m getting my U Bass tomorrow, will be watching again. Thanks 👍🏻
Awesome! Welcome to the U-bass club!
Thank you for including the notation instead of just tabs. I'm much better at reading notes than figuring out tabs.
I’m glad I could help. I like having both as well. Thanks for watching!
Oh yes just what we all need❤😊 you are a great teacher!
Hope you keep on with more ubass tabs and tuts😊❤
I’m glad I could help! Thank you!
Thank so much I bought my Kala fscout ubass after watching you omg best investment i made I love it I wished I started playing this sooner plus I’m going through all you videos and learning so much thank you again
I'm glad you like your Scout! Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
would love if you could make another one of these videos! this was really helpful with the notes & fret locations
I'm glad you like it! I'll definitely be making another one soon! Have you checked out the other ones I've already done so far?
Awesome!
Thanks!
🤘🏻 rockin!
Thanks!
Cheers this is quite the lesson
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff keep the bass lines coming
Thank you! I plan to do a few more like this one in the new year.
❤
Love your videos very good. Is there any advice you would give to beginner bass ukulele player with some jazz experience on piano. As it is hard to know where to start? The aim is towards playing jazz bass lines. P.S thy can read music too. Keep your videos coming. Thanks
Definitely memorize the note names! Start with open through the fifth fret on each string, as many bass lines can be played with just these notes! Then branch out from there. The one thing that's interesting going from piano to a string instrument is that there are multiple ways to play the same pitch in the same octave! This can be confusing to know which one to use at times, but allows you to play some lines without having to jump all over the fret board. I have a beginner warmup video on one of my play lists...it will help a lot with technique.
Great Instrument! And Good Tutorial. I suscribe ✌
Pd: You look like Domenec from the Chanel "Verdadera Seducción" 😱
Thank you! I'm not sure who that is, but I'll look them up...haha.
@@stephencoxbass you're welcome :)
And yes, see it, you are going to surprised when you seen him. His chanel it's also in CZcams
Fun! I like your channel!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Hey, i had a question. I found a bass, the Mirco Bass 23 from Gold Tone. Do you think you would recommend it? It has the same strings as a Ubass, but it's a little bit bigger
Robin Van Der Craats I have yet to play one, but people that have them seem to like them. I imagine that the longer scale would increase the string tension, making the strings less floppy/apt to buzz. Ohana also has a slightly longer scale Uke bass if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your opinion! I love your videos by the way! Keep it up!
ok so here i am trying to learn ukulele, i think i was gonna get a banjo ukulele but now that i have seen a bass ukulele i want this
They are pretty nifty...why not both? :p
Perhaps selling the tab set for these great videos at a $1 a pop might bring in some great returns !!
Interesting idea! I'm not quite sure how to get the rights for that, but it's an interesting idea.
@@stephencoxbass Well it's just a phrase from a song for a particular instrument. I'd be surprised if they hit you for royalties.
What kind of Tune do you use?
The U-Bass is tuned to EADG like a bass guitar (same octave).
@@stephencoxbass Thank you
Whats up with the four naturals key signature
Zara Lindholm Brandt On the program I notated it on, I wrote it after notating "I Want You Back" ...so those are "courtesy accidentals." Just disregard them...sorry for the confusion. :)
Would you recommend a Makala UB-15 U-Bass? It is a cheap Kala one for £170
I didn't know there was a Makala one...now I think they replaced it with the cheapest Kala models. I'm sure it's fairly good if it's part of the Kala line!
Damn that bass sounds smooth!! What are amplifying that with?
I plug it into a focusrite scarlett solo interface...and eq it a tiny bit on Garage band. Then I mix that with the mic recording.
There's no speaker involved.
I’m trying to find you on Patreon but can’t seem to figure that out.
patreon.com/stephencoxbass I hope that helps!
U-Bass
The one, the only!
Damn! You look like Paul McCartney! Hahaha good video
Thank you, man!
