Magnus Sjöquist I've been trying out the Tanglewood fretless version in the local music store. I love the sound but I want to try one of the Kala fretted versions before buying one.
@bobothecreepyclown Thanks! I really love playing Ubass! I do play other basses too but since I started playing Ubasses they have a special place in my heart :-)
Thanks! I'm working on a CD that will feature the ubass and different guest musicians…Check out the progress on my blog if you like. Link in the about section of this video!
@svenskfence3 Thanks! I enjoyed that jam :-) I actually got to play with these guys yesterday :-) There might be a video from that gig up here soon... :-)
Thanks so much for posting videos on U-Bass real gigs. I'm deciding between a fretless and fretted. I played electric bass for several years in my youth, but I've always been a standup jazz bass lover. I miss my 3/4 stand up. What would you recommend, a rusty old bass player, who is looking to play a lot of straight ahead & bossa covers, fretless or fretted?
Hej. Jag funderar på att skaffa en Ubass då jag inte har plats för kontra. Med tanke på att basen är så kort, är det svårt att intonera rätt med fingrarna, för jag tycker det ser ut som en bandlös. Jag spelar mest bandad elbas, men har både bandlös och cello annars, men den här verkar kortare i mensuren. Btw, grymt spelat.
Tack! Jag har spelat bandlös elbas ganska länge. Jag har även spelat en del kontrabas. Men det absolut viktigaste är att 'lyssna' bra, att bli snabb på att korrigera när man inte hamnar riktigt 'rätt' på en gång! I just denna video var förutsättningarna inte de bästa. Jag kopplade in mig i den 'ljudanläggning' som fanns på plats. Som du ser är högtalarna ganska långt från mig. Den akustiska volymen (på en UBass) är ju ganska svag så bra 'monitor' är viktig!

The "bassy" part of the soundspectre is just so very very nice. I drove to Sweden from Fredrikstdad Norway to get it. Im Danish and we are not used to drive very far DK being to small U know ;-) Oh and BTW great playing man, also happy playing...
@bassMAGics The standard fretless version. Very nice tone, btw. Although i cant seem to dial in that upright tone you've got goin on. And thats pretty good playing for one show! Guess thats one of those "once in a lifetime" moments lol Ill keep up with your work as long as you keep up the good work! Ill be the first to buy the CD!!
Mad respect for the other musicians on stage with your. That's exactly how you support a bass solo.
There’s nothing quite like watching true artists go at it like that - every performance is a unique entity!
Man the change in "feel" at 2:57 is really great jammin true proffs.
3:43 seeing them planning what's next to come via body language and eyes is fun.
It's funny seeing the bass player using the smallest instrument on stage.
Yeah, it sure is a bit strange but also cool that I don't must carry a doghouse around but can still get a warm "upright-like" sound:-)

Between your playing and the tone of that bass i'm inspired to buy one. Love the tone. What kind of amp were you plugged into?
Sweet lord o migthy! Great jam! =) Awesome job on bass! =)
You're the man !
Hej Magnus. Nice playing! The Kala Ubass is cocking!
WOOOWWW!!! Way cool! Thank you.
Good vibes
Thanks! It was fun for sure!
Tack. Det blir nog en bandlös då :) Jag har cello och det är väl ganska nära i mensur ...
/Magnus.
that's sick!
bravissimo. i'm making a DIY uku bass (from an EKO 1/2 guitar) because the cost is too expensive plus i also have 3 bass guitars yet. i give a try.
Good luck
You've inspired me to buy one of those! Great playing bro! Do you guys have an album or cd? Id love to hear more
Thanks!
@Gibsonlove1055 Thanks! Good luck on the tests :-)

Ukulele U-bass power
Great playing! Anyway..What was that hanging behind your back on your guitar strap? Was that your pre amp?
badass
Yeah! That's kind of neat isn't it :-)
I'm wondering when you use your Fishman bass preamp for your Ubass, what's your preference or where do you set your bass and treble knobs?
Funny, I did not even notice the 4th guy sitting on the far right till he started the slow-clap.
:) Yeah, he played with Vinny and Frank except for on the two songs I played!
Wow!! Jazz me !!!!
@davemo65 Thanks!
What guitar is the lead guitarist playing!?! wantwantwant. Great playing though:)
Here is Franks gear page! frankvignol(dot)com/gear/
It's a The Frank Vignola Signature Thorell Guitar
It's only about $8,000 lol
Oh. Well ill put it on the bucket list anyways
It has a lot fatter, deeper sound than a regular 34 inch scale steel string bass.

Magnus Sjöquist ...cool...thanks
C Jam Blues in B flat? Eh? Just joking!
Uke basses, small instruments but can make big sound with a good amp. I wanna buy one
