Greetings Dan; Just got mine this week! In between the magic time warp finger snaps, did you A: Loosen or tighten the truss rod? B: Raise or lower bridge saddles? C: Move saddles closer to the nut or further away? Thanks in advance Brian
Hi, What_321. Can you tell me what's the weight of this upright bass? To me it's extremely important the weight, because I cannot carry a heavy instrument due to my physical condition.
@@what_321 Ohhh, so the stand is heavier than bass itself. What a surprise. Thank you very much, my friend. I'll have to evaluate whether it's worthwhile. 🙏
Hey Dan! Thank you for the video! I think of trying out the Ibanez Upright for a long time now... I think it's a real good start in the upright world, isn't it? How does the low B sounds? Thank you and greetings from germany 🙂
@@dose505 Yeah in upprigt mode it perhaps is better with finger picks? But i ment if it is possible to hold it like a frettles bass guitar and play with a guitar-pick (or is the instrument to long)?
You can also use Round Wound strings on it to get that Jaco Pastorius vibe
I call it a "Mini EUB" because it's a Mini version of the EUB.
Thank you 👍😊
How much does that upright bass weigh?

Are those the Factory strings on there for the video?

@@luisnatera It weighs about 27 LBS, but that is the Bass and the STAND! If I had to guess, Bass = 12 lbs. Stand = 15lbs.

Yes, great intro to upright. I'm really enjoying it. low B sounds great, and entire instrument fits in to a recorded mix very well.
Would it work well with a bow? Also could ya play it like a bassguitar with a pick ?
works with a bow! but fingerboard is not as rounded by a traditional upright. kinda hard for me to play it with a pick, and the upright angle.
