    Played a couple of these in a local store. It is best described as surprising. As pointed out, not loud unmiked, but plugged in, it is super fun and cool to play. I kinda liked the rubber strings, but I play fretless, have an acoustic bass and upright too. I liked the mellow sound. The package is small, but the sound is BIG!

    Met a bass player who exclusively uses a Uke-Bass for gigs, since he only does small to medium venues. But man, you are 100% right, these these are surprisingly powerful.

    I couldn't believe the richness and fullness of the journeyman when I first played it. Bought one with roundwounds (which are even fuller than the rubber bands) a while later and love the thing for portability. String tension is different which makes slap technique quite challenging. The big caveat for me is that if I spend too much time on a tiny scale like this, moving back to regular scale feels uncomfortable and requires too much re-adjustment. I won't be able to play it often, but being able to take it with me nearly anywhere makes it worth owning.

    Just for info, the first U-bass was built in 2011 by Stevens guitars of Munich for me, Jonty of the Ukulele orchestra of Great Britain, and always had steel roundwounds

    The U-Bass with roundwound strings has a very distinct sound. I got a fretted journeyman with round wound strings and fell in love with it. I liked it so much that I got a fretless model with thundergut strings. I mainly got into the U-Bass because I wanted a portable bass, and that it is, but it is much more. It really is its own instrument. There are a few things that are harder to do on it, but there are also a few things you can do on it that can't be done on any other bass.

    Micing up a solid bodied electric bass is seriously underrated. Try it when recording double bassy jazz and blues parts and blend a little of the acoustic sound in the mix

    The music is hilarious. I didn't expect this to sound like a full sized bass. This is the music that plays when the movie cuts to an 18 wheeler barreling down the highway, ultimately to reveal a skunk is doing the driving. Not to compare the bass to a skunk. It's a nice bass. Probably smells nice, too.

    With the kala flat wounds by galli the tension will be a lot more. Those strings will also stay in tune a lot more and the final result is so fun to play, personally I consider it the best 200 euros (I got a b stock) I've spent on an instrument.

    I bought mine journeyman the past year and absolutely LOVE it. Nevertheless it is annoying that they don't produce it in 5 strings version i would definitely buy that one. 5 strings is my preference. Today, I have mine 4string always with me. Just throw it in the car or travel case and of i go. It is simple as that. Please build 5 strings journeyman version!

    i had a u-bass a while back and took it back because i just hated the rubber strings, they were sticky, clumsy feeling, and made things like slides impossible. i'm very very interested in the new ones with proper metal strings

    I have one of those myself (the red one) and it truly is a beast of a bass. With the 3Sigma Double Bass Impulse response it is indistinguishable from an upright bass. You can make it sound like a P-bass too. All the pro's without any cons. If I'd have to make one point, it's very light, so if you have a heavy right hand it's better to wedge it under your arm to keep it stable. But hey! who wants to hang it low like a metal/punk bass player anyway :-)

    • @Ignacio.Fernandez.Santamaria
      @Ignacio.Fernandez.Santamaria ปีที่แล้ว

      3Sigma Double Bass Impulse response is a pick up for the u bass, software or what? I am looking for the most similar sound to an upright in a u bass but I still I can´t see clearly what I should buy

    • @Hexspa

      @@Ignacio.Fernandez.Santamariaimpulse responses are digital filters applied via convolution in a computer. Just think of it as a regular effect that gives you the sound of spaces (like the inside of an acoustic bass, a room, or electronic devices like a guitar cabinet or preamp.

    Is the E A D G perfectly balance. What I mean you know how some mini acoustic bass. E sounds loud, A sounds loud D sounds low and G sounds low. Would this bass cut through the mix in a live gig

  • @doug1844
    @doug1844 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gregor, Has the bass you’re playing been set up for the roundwounds? I have a U-Bass and the black strings are a larger diameter than the rounds, so when I put on the roundwounds they sit high off the fretboard. I like the rounds, but the playability is unacceptable.

    The only thing I don't like about mine which I got recently is the E string has to be played softly or muffled with the palm so that there is no rattle.

    Hey Gregor! Cool bass, great video and it is possible to make it a little bit better by putting softboxes (light stands) a half meter lower. Right height is when a light sparkles in eyes appear :)
