I've been playing bass for 47 years now, and I enjoy Ellen and her Dad's videos so much. I started playing at 17 and Ellen already plays rings around anything I could do at 17. This beautiful little girl has a very bright musical future ahead of her. Her Dad, who is an excellent musician in his own right, is guiding her beautifully every step of the way.
And the great thing about him (Hovak) is that he only provides guidance in the direction that Ellen wants to go. He never forces her to play, or move in a direction of his choosing.
@@glennrosa234 I’d rather just continue to play and admire Ellen’s gift. I know you were joking about giving it up anyway. Let’s face it, it’s in our blood and we probably couldn’t stop even if we wanted to. Ellen is a special case and a rare talent ♥️
What a great dad and what a great little legend you are, Ellen. There's no better team in music on TH-cam at this point. For entertainment value, musicianship, and the feel-good vibe you guys bring, you own this thing! Respect.
@@robertakerman3570 They are very different but very intelligent young girls. Exposure has a lot of variables with TH-cam the Masters. It really is Apple's and Oranges.

Todays technology allows them to virtually meet and Jam together and they have made incredible Videos.
Why choose, enjoy both! LOL She is hilarious. Even when Hovak teases her, she just laughs it off. Great kid, great father and great relationship they have!

Have a Wonderful day, every non clunky Day! Bye!
That piece really shows off Ellen's skill level. It's been fun watching her hard work pay off. She's so comfortable playing she can even straighten her hair without missing a beat.
I’ve worked with thousands of bass players over my career doing live sound this young lady is one of the cleanest players I’ve heard . If the bass player is not defining the notes you just can’t get a mix together . The lady already has the future planed I look forward to hearing you on many recording . Amazing
I simply love her enthusiasm when it comes to her craft. Hovak...you are a great father and mentor to Ellen. I pray I'm still around to see the next chapter in her career.
Amen! You can not teach "want to". Ellen, that is what drove me to learn, and is obviously what keeps you playing. I remember what those wows felt like when I was your age. I am super happy for you and your family. Music has added greatly to the quality of my life. And I am sure it will to yours. Great job! Keep it up.
I don't usually comment on youtube vids- even good ones!... But, Ellen, as a fellow musician I was hooked on your videos because of the JOY that shows on your face when you play. Your talent is obvious, even at a young age, but the pure joy you have makes me want to pick up my own ax and play for the pure joy of it! Thank you and keep up the great work!
The bass sounds good, but Ellen makes it sound magical. I am totally entranced watching her fretwork and her picking. My fingers can't move that quickly just randomly drumming on my desk. Ellen, your playing has gotten so very good, but what makes you even more special is your smile while playing. Never lose that. Cheers from Wisconsin.
Awesome playing! I'm a piano teacher and it's so hard to find people (children or adults) who can truly feel off beats. You feel the on beats underneath, making it two layers. Little Ellen nails it and never rushes! That's fantastic.
I’ve been a singing drummer all my life. About a year and a half ago, I started playing bass guitar. I just want you to know, Ellen is an inspiration to me and I’m sure to many. I’ll say it, Ellen is really cool. So very cool.
Amazing job you are doing with her. She's a legend in the making. And I love her smile, it's sery contagious :D I think I'll get this bass for my 6yo. He loves music so much and already know the musical notes to any song he hears immediately. Thanks for sharing
I just bought the Ibanez Mikro earlier this week. It was $199. I wanted either a Mini or a 5 String Bass. I've been playing 2 years on a beginner 4 string Squire. At 65 although I learn quickly my brain to hand coordination isn't as good as younger folks, but I love playing the bass in my church praise team. It's so much fun. Thanks to Ellen and this channel I'm learning so much more. As someone else said, watching Ellen's passion and joy is infectious and wonderful. Thank y'all for all you do!
She's going places musically. Next, we will see her either as a session musician for BIG names, or as a replacement band member for a world-wide successful band (possible Metallica, lol).
Ellen your a real inspiration, youve reignited my passion for playing bass again! Love watching your videos, especially if im feeling stressed or down...as your smile and humour has an uplifting effect!we can all learn alot from you!
So, Ellen, now that I found your channel, I am finding myself listening much more to the bass. Thanks, kind of a new world for me! So much fun watching the two of you!
I will agree, that it is the coolest bass for that price range. It is amazing to me that they can sell a bass of that quality for $110.00. Great video and thank you both for all of the smiles that you have put on my face!!
Absolutely fantastic. A great guitar played wonderfully by Ellen. What I love about these videos is the total lack of theatrics and sheer joy that Ellen exudes whilst playing.
I never thought I'd be inspired by a little kid. Ellen makes me want to get off my butt and work on the stuff I love to do. Painting, biking, and yes, even playing the bass. I'm 58 and Ellen already blows me away. Good job dad, btw, you rock too.
Thank you for your inspiration and smile (dad too).. You have created a monster unfortunately ( with a smile )- made it to my 70th birthday and been playing for 3 months - I already have FOUR basses!!!! - loving every minute and watching you makes me want to pick up my bass instead of getting ready for work (lol). Keep up the great work
As usual, Great job Ellen! Can't wait to see more great stuff from you. But also - a million Kudos to Glarry! They are doing a tremendous job with their supplier to bring really good, really affordable instruments to us!!
Proud new sub here! I felt the same magic when I 1st picked up a guitar at age 8. Wow Ellen...in the pocket and right on that kick drum. You play funk way beyond your years. Glad I found this channel. Rock on girl! 🤘
I started playing bass at about 38 or so, always with a pick; but watching your right hand technique is helping this old guy get some confidence with plucking. Thank you!!
Because of this video you made testing this small and cheap bass, but that actually had a pretty good quality, I decided to buy it to make a Piccolo Bass with a Dadario, 20, 32, 42, 52 gauge string. I also changed the bridge, the tuning pegs, put in some EMG pickups and lined the body with snake vinyl. It is now a beast capable of rivalling any guitar and riffing hard on metal, stoner, and any style of rock, while sounding great clean. Thank you very much for this video, and best regards.
Awesome! You guys probably paid more for the setup "surgery" than you did for the bass! Also, I love seeing Ellen grow, both as a person and as a bass player. This is a fun channel. Thank you!
Watching you play is as good as listening, Ellen. I dig how you're dancing in your chair as you jam. You've got to feel what you're playing, and you definitely feel it, because you never stop moving to the music. I love it! Keep it up little lady. You've got a long career ahead of you. 👍👍👍👍
You are too nice together :-) And the bass suits Ellen perfectly, sounds exactly as it should. A really good bass with Ellen's magic fingers. She has perfect timing in her playing :-)
If she's that good now, I can only imagine how good she'll be in a few years. I've been playing for 45 years and I think I need to do some practicing after hearing her. Very nice, keep it up.
Been watching just a week or so and I love watching Ellen! She's so good and loves what she's doing which is so wonderful! Keep up the great playing, you got me loving the bass sound!
The bass is cool (I thought its price is somewhere between 2 and 3 hundred bucks), and Ellen is awesome and lucky one to have such a Dad, who is both a friend and a mentor. Thank you guys for the video and for the vibe! You earned my "like"!
That is a great bass for the price.I got one cause I love the way it looks and I have a thing for tiny basses lol. I'm using it as a mod platform and trying to make it is "high quality" as possible. Great video!
DERRICK! Those were some of the funkiest couple of measures of bass lines that I have ever heard; from Derrick the technician. The undiscovered talent that is all around us is mind blowing!
Hi to al of you! I played the bass for 10 years off my life, from Jazz-Rock to nearly every stile, but you impressed me a lot more then anyone in the bass world. You could play at your age in any band on this planet. Great thanks to your father, parents too. Keep on posting! Thank you.
After the loss of my mum before 3 years ago, i had a bad luck and difficulties i had and still have to go through. I really had bad thinkings passing through my tired mind. Today i received a gift as i found Ellen's videos. The bright light that is coming through her beauty, gave me a lesson to realise what a miracle our life is. I have a rare short scale Gibson SG bass. I hope sometime you come in Kefalonia Greece for summer vacation where you can stay in my house where my mum used to live and now it is empty, for free. I will be very happy if i see this amazing beautiful gifted angel playing with my SG bass. It is an open invitation if you like to come for relaxing summer holidays here in Kefalonia. I will fix the bass hoping sometime Ellen come to make it sound again. I will try make a video so you can see it. My best wishes to you Ellen princess and your lovely dad. Congratulations to both of you.
Boy, they say dynamite comes in small packages... That thing sounded awesome! Not to mention the cool Yousician track... Another amazing hit by them... And of course Ellen's flawless playing.
Great job and great playing Ellen! I have an Ibanez Mikro on order for my daughters to play around with. It's very interesting to see this at almost a third of the price! I still think the Ibanez will be a little bit better quality, but this is definitely great for the price, and you rocked it!
I have both a Glarry and Ibanez Mikro. They are the two basses I play most often. I upgraded the pickups and bridge on the Mikro, but only the bridge on the Glarry. The soldering on the pot wiring is a bit iffy on the Glarry and the frets could use a bit of work, but otherwise, it's a coin flip.
This reminds me the Amadeus movie. Salieri says "I do not envy Mozart, but I do envy having a father like his who taught him everything since he was a child".
If Ellen and her Dad don't Inspire, motivate and make-you-feel good (you have no soul). They are truly wonderful-together, and she has-become: a little beast on Bass. oNe LovE from NYC
@@EllenPlaysBass Nice! I look forward to seeing that sometime in the future! Fretless acoustic upright bass might be fun in the future as well. I've seen very young people in bluegrass music bands using stepstools to enable them to play those.
Great overview Hovak, and demonstration Ellen! Definitely a good starter for a child, and the price is reasonable! On edit, I just re watched her doing the demo again, and the size of that bass seems to be exceptionally comfortable for Ellen's personal playing style!
At just $110, Glarry is going to sell a thousand of these little basses solely on the basis of this one review. You folks had better hire some more craftspeople - especially a really great bass tech like Derek Jones - and while you're at it buy a bunch of really amazing wood planks as well! Ellen and Hovak will be coming back very soon for another, somewhat larger bass, and they're going to ask for something really special! Meanwhile, Ellen's playing just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what she's playing and who she's playing beside, 10 years from now! 😎
Thanks for the review and information! Ellen, your smile and laughter are so contagious. I always feel happy when I watch your videos. Thanks, Hovac, for sharing Ellen with us!
I've seen a couple channels review Glarry 6 string electric guitars and they were relatively pleased with the value.. Of course, set ups were necessary on all with a few tweaks on frets here and there. Good starting instruments or a less expensive backup to have on hand.
Ellen is the cheeriest and coolest bass player on the internet. Such happiness and fascination I thoroughly delight to see & hear! Thank you for putting this treasure together that we can enjoy.
Hey Ellen always amazing and a joy to watch you playing. You're playing made that bass have a hope for others to purchase as beginning entry into bass playing for those of your age. Positively inspiring you are to many who want to play the bass. Your dad, so supportive, and truly a genuine musician.
I’m 70 and my gingers don’t like to do they are told to do. I purchased one of these little gems, and was blow away by its qualities. No sharp frets. And the nicest setup on a bass guitar purchased new, to date. Thank you for presenting this. Ellen you are an inspiration to all young ladies. I can actually play this. Disobedient fingers not withstanding
Smart as a whip! … and definitely has her own voice! I wish you all the best that this world has to offer! So that you can encourage ALL little people to pick up an instrument!
Cool how you show how low key affordable entrance gear can be enough to become a good player. Everyone should start like that. Great video again as always! 😃
I bought one of these off Ebay last year for $67 free shipping.... Just got another one off there for $68 with free shipping.... Can't really beat it.... I like them.
I began playing bass in 2011 with a praise band. My bass was owned by the chapel and recently bought my own. It was this exact same bass. I paid $115 for it and set it up myself. For the price, you can't go wrong. Now I am back on my regular practice and getting my licks back. Keep playing kid. You got great chops and kudos to you dad for supporting her passion for this instrument!
Congrats! Dad & Ellen! had me smiling through out the review! Note: for a little person you sure are digging into those strings, I only see this in highly skilled bassist not coming from guitar or any other instruments transitioning to bass. Great Job!
What a great dad and what a great little legend you are, Ellen (I dittoed this from Rusty Keys down below. I'm new to your channel and this like the 4th video I've seen and have commented on them as well. If I have my facts straight, apparently this little lady admired her Dad''s gift so much that she followed into his footsteps, What a wonder thing for a child and parent. Mohini Dey did the same and WOW, look at her. I know you are so proud of her and so are we, but just wait as she grow into womanhood and more advance skillset. You and us will be grinning from ear to ear. I am already blown away by her skillset. Nice job guys.
I've been playing bass for 47 years now, and I enjoy Ellen and her Dad's videos so much. I started playing at 17 and Ellen already plays rings around anything I could do at 17.

Hi Mike. Ms Ellen will always be a musician; though may become a Producer or work @ JPL. Time will tell; - Her greatness can not be stopped.
And the great thing about him (Hovak) is that he only provides guidance in the direction that Ellen wants to go. He never forces her to play, or move in a direction of his choosing.
I've also been playing that long . & concur with you , we can't touch Ellen who's been playing for 2 yrs What!?? I think we gotta hang it up. Hah..

Yep her dad is amazing, cool guy, his passion for the music is great. Ellen couldn't get a better bass teacher.
Not only a star musician she is so personable and isn't camera shy in the least. Enjoy the climb Ellen!

I have both a Glarry and Ibanez Mikro. They are the two basses I play most often. I upgraded the pickups and bridge on the Mikro, but only the bridge on the Glarry. The soldering on the pot wiring is a bit iffy on the Glarry and the frets could use a bit of work, but otherwise, it's a coin flip.
I really enjoy watching this young lady play and the joy on her face brings a smile to my face! Keep up the good work!😊
This reminds me the Amadeus movie. Salieri says "I do not envy Mozart, but I do envy having a father like his who taught him everything since he was a child".
If Ellen and her Dad don't Inspire, motivate and make-you-feel good (you have no soul). They are truly wonderful-together, and she has-become: a little beast on Bass. oNe LovE from NYC
Thanks for the fun and informative video! I loved the envelope filter in the demo!
Do you ever play fretless bass?
Yes, practicing it slowly to get used to it.
@@EllenPlaysBass Nice! I look forward to seeing that sometime in the future!
Fretless acoustic upright bass might be fun in the future as well. I've seen very young people in bluegrass music bands using stepstools to enable them to play those.
Just love Ellen’s smile and her enthusiasm. Great video.
Ellen has the coolest dad.
He is obviously very proud of his daughter.
It gives a very wholesome feeling to watch
Great overview Hovak, and demonstration Ellen! Definitely a good starter for a child, and the price is reasonable! On edit, I just re watched her doing the demo again, and the size of that bass seems to be exceptionally comfortable for Ellen's personal playing style!
At just $110, Glarry is going to sell a thousand of these little basses solely on the basis of this one review. You folks had better hire some more craftspeople - especially a really great bass tech like Derek Jones - and while you're at it buy a bunch of really amazing wood planks as well! Ellen and Hovak will be coming back very soon for another, somewhat larger bass, and they're going to ask for something really special!
Meanwhile, Ellen's playing just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what she's playing and who she's playing beside, 10 years from now! 😎
Thanks for the review and information! Ellen, your smile and laughter are so contagious. I always feel happy when I watch your videos. Thanks, Hovac, for sharing Ellen with us!
Don't forget her mother. She gave birth, to this little miracle. ❤
Mothers get enough credit. It's time for fathers to shine.
Oh my god hahahah can't give one away hahaha
The moms job is to keep her a lady. The fathers job is to keep her focused and the boys at bay.
Okay disgusting perv@@BedrockMediaGroup
I've seen a couple channels review Glarry 6 string electric guitars and they were relatively pleased with the value.. Of course, set ups were necessary on all with a few tweaks on frets here and there. Good starting instruments or a less expensive backup to have on hand.
Ellen is the cheeriest and coolest bass player on the internet. Such happiness and fascination I thoroughly delight to see & hear! Thank you for putting this treasure together that we can enjoy.
That giggle at the end. Thank you two. I see this is a year ago now. I look forward t0 catching up.
She's improved so much since I've watched. Absolutely Awesome!☝
Hey Ellen always amazing and a joy to watch you playing. You're playing made that bass have a hope for others to purchase as beginning entry into bass playing for those of your age. Positively inspiring you are to many who want to play the bass. Your dad, so supportive, and truly a genuine musician.
Thanks, you just crushed my dreams. Good job.
I’m 70 and my gingers don’t like to do they are told to do.
I purchased one of these little gems, and was blow away by its qualities.
No sharp frets.
And the nicest setup on a bass guitar purchased new, to date.
Thank you for presenting this.
Ellen you are an inspiration to all young ladies.
I can actually play this.
Disobedient fingers not withstanding
I've got to thank you Hellen and Hovak. Everytime I watch one of your videos it motivates me to get my eletric guitar, at least a little bit to play.
Many people try to learn to play an instrument, and they just don't have the natural talent for it. Ellen absolutely does! Very smooth and competent.
Way cool. Thanks for the info Ellen and Hovak! Awesome! I may have a student that could use that bass.
Smart as a whip!
… and definitely has her own voice!
I wish you all the best that this world has to offer!
So that you can encourage ALL little people to pick up an instrument!
Cool how you show how low key affordable entrance gear can be enough to become a good player. Everyone should start like that. Great video again as always! 😃
I bought one of these off Ebay last year for $67 free shipping.... Just got another one off there for $68 with free shipping.... Can't really beat it.... I like them.
That´s a cute little bass, great sound. You play it very well Ellen, keep up the good work! Perfect mix, dad!
Great!!! If I had a daughter, I'd be so proud to see grow such skills and abilities day by day, video after video, as Ellen does!
I began playing bass in 2011 with a praise band. My bass was owned by the chapel and recently bought my own. It was this exact same bass. I paid $115 for it and set it up myself. For the price, you can't go wrong. Now I am back on my regular practice and getting my licks back. Keep playing kid. You got great chops and kudos to you dad for supporting her passion for this instrument!
Congrats! Dad & Ellen! had me smiling through out the review! Note: for a little person you sure are digging into those strings, I only see this in highly skilled bassist not coming from guitar or any other instruments transitioning to bass. Great Job!
What a great dad and what a great little legend you are, Ellen (I dittoed this from Rusty Keys down below. I'm new to your channel and this like the 4th video I've seen and have commented on them as well. If I have my facts straight, apparently this little lady admired her Dad''s gift so much that she followed into his footsteps, What a wonder thing for a child and parent. Mohini Dey did the same and WOW, look at her. I know you are so proud of her and so are we, but just wait as she grow into womanhood and more advance skillset. You and us will be grinning from ear to ear. I am already blown away by her skillset. Nice job guys.
I soooo love watching Ellen play. Just by watching you can tell she loves what she’s doing. Keep making us smile girl!
what a sweet kid and dad ,love it ,,brings me so much joy and to the world ,,,keep rocking
Bless you guys. I hope you inspire hundreds of young musicians.
This is such a cool bass! I wish something like this had been available back when I first started (late 1979)!
Thanx for the review! This bass guitar just made my daughters Christmas list!
