Ukulele bass - ok for the course?

1

Hi guys, I’m new here :slight_smile:

I’m wondering if you can follow the course ok on a ukulele bass?

Just ordered mine a couple of days ago and I can’t wait to get started

I see some mentions of it on the forum already, but its not clear to me if people are playing just uke bass or they have an electric bass as well

Cheers

Yes of course, they are smaller so it’s a little harder to play technical stuffs but if you are starting everything is harder :joy:

No worries @kalkulus ! They sound just as good as some of the big boys.

@JerryP is right as usual here @kalkulus bass is bass. No matter what you play.

Enjoy the course, it’s fantastic.

Make no mistake the U-Bass is an awesome little instrument, everyone I know that has them loves them.

mmmm … sorry but I can’t really agree. the U-Bass is super-cool for sure but it won’t feel like a “normal” bass. Not sure it’s the best choice for the course.

There we go, trust the French :fr::baguette_bread: to bring down the mood :wink:

The U Bass might just be the gateway drug to a lifetime of bass GAS?

Well he’s right - it is much smaller. It won’t be the same as a 34" scale. The concepts are the same though.

I think it’s supposed to be a baguette but it looks like a hot dog bun

This isn’t helping. I still want a baguette, ideally with some brie and jambon, and butter. A jambon-beurre used to be one of my favorite lunches :slight_smile:

Popular in Tokyo actually, probably due to Joel Robuchon.

Now that I think about it I would not be surprised if this were a US or Canadian invention either, we put butter on everything :rofl:

Canadian maybe…

The USA does not understand how to make a proper sandwich. It ALWAYS starts with butter, irrespective of what other condiments you plan on putting on it.

Bleedin philistines… :roll_eyes:

Oh no, trust me, in the US butter is in our blood. I know of people that even put butter in their coffee.
