Thank you for sharing this with us. Ellens fingers were automatically ready to go as soon as she touched her new bass. Her smile simply takes away all the ugly in the world. God bless your whole family.
I smile, laugh and beam watching the two of you together. I'm a father of 5 and I can imagine the joy and pride you must feel sharing your passion with your daughter. Awesome.
I can't get over how Ellen's focus just locks on that bass and she grooves even before having plugged in as if she's been playing this bass for a good bit of time. Adjusting to the different scale so fast is not as easy as it may seem. This video also shows her hand positions and her technique which is getting better and better so quickly.. Awesome.
Every vid I see of Ellen playing, I am astounded by her sense of melodic rhythm. If there ever was a "natural" bass player, she is IT. Very cool of Mayones to send her this, and very smart, as it will return many times over in positive publicity for their fine instrument. Thank you for sharing this. Very fun.
She did NOT want to let go of it once she got her hands on it.Awesome !! And ,Mayones...that was a wonderful thing you did for this budding star !!! Great support dad !!!
Ellen's eyes always seem to sparkle with pure joy... I'm so happy to be able to watch this little lady on her adventure of music 😀 Thanks again for sharing her and her talent with the world⭐
It's been a pleasure watching this talented young lady grow. Her infectious smile, super star!!! Have a great New Year Ellen and family. Your parents are doing a great job!!!!!
Boy I love watching you guys, such a breath of joy and fresh air , And it goes without saying Little Miss Ellen is touching so many hearts. We definitely love you mom and dad for helping and guiding your daughter on her journey. This old world definitely needs more of this in it, music is the key to life and you all are definitely striking the cords that give it beauty And depth of purpose, thank you for all you bring into our lives.
That bass is probably more expensive than any of my full size basses.... look at the construction, woods, pickups, hardware.... fretwork, all completely custom..... holy moly. And it sounds amazing, of course in the hands of one of youtube's top bass players Ellen!
The best part of all of this Hovak, is your relationship with your daughter. The pride and the joy that is in your face is worth a thousand accolades. The way you nurture this beautiful soul should be an example to all. Society needs more parents like you. Future may not be so grim for our children after all.
Along with all the amazing, loving instruction in music you've given her, thanks for letting Ellen be a child, Dad, even as her gifts mature beyond her years ❤
Wow! Stunned at how well Ellen played that thing. Her fingers danced all over that bass. And what a beautiful mini it is! Sounds fantastic! More please!!!
A 10-year-old girl rockin' a Dark Side T-shirt. Ellen Rules! That bass is very cool, as well. Very nice craftsmanship! Thank you for the miles of smiles, and please keep the vids coming.
I am always inspired and motivated by her level of professionalism and her love for music. kids like these will make this world a better place to live thank you.
When the dad looks to be more excited about the bas his daughter got, than his own instrument he has been waiting on for 3 years. Props to Mayones for being super awesome!!!
Wow! That's all that comes to mind ... just Wow! Such a wonderful gift for a truly wonderful young lady. You two make a fantastic musical team and I love all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this surprise.
Ellen, we are so happy for you and your family. You are so talented and we wish you all the best in your life, and career in entertainment. Just remember, you can do, be, and have anything that you want. Practice, practice, and practice.
How in the world does she not have a million subs.. I'm telling all my friends at guitar center and we'll get the ball rolling. And rockin ... With her magic touch she turned that into a bass .. and with her magic fingers played it beautifully. The neatest lookin mini bass ever...
This is really cool, like seeing someone so young(let's call her what she is, a prodigy) so into music is just awesome. Shes gonna be in so many bands and show off her talent and that's just cool.
Best video of a father presenting his daughter I've ever watched. Congratulations! And I keep saying how happy I am to follow the evolution of little Ellen in playing the classics of Rock and Metal.😄
I have watched at least 10 of these Ellen videos in the past few months. She said that she started playing when she was 8 and the video was done when she was 9. Young minds can pick things up fast. Also, I am sure that besides already having an exceptional sense of music (choice of notes, timing, syncopation, no fret noise etc...) she is the smartest at her school in everything. Very high intelligence and manors so good... she is just great. Her dad loves her. He is a good dad. He takes interest in what she does, wants to make sure she is on the right path. He will not ignore her and let her end up playing with other kids who are going in a bad direction. That warms my heart!!! As I watch these, something has been creeping up on me that has become irritating. (Just me, or you folks too?). He could explain something to her, and she will play it. But she understood what he told her to play the first time. He tells her again anyway. Like she is slow (but she is not) and needs to hear it again. In this video, when she is taking the Uke bass out of the case, he says 'be careful'. Then he said it again when she took it out. I know he loves her and is a great dad, but he needs to back off a few feet. Don't stand right over her. Give her the autonomy she already possesses and acts upon. A little less smothering. Don't worry that she won't understand! She will figure it out for herself.
Her smile and enthusiasm are unmatched!!! I wish her the very best in life. I don't know any little ladies her age that even know who Pink Floyd is. Glad to see her Rockin the Floyd T-shirt!! You guys both Rock 🎸
That's a gorgeous instrument, it really is. It probably has to be set to a different register than a standard bass, but that's a common feature among orchestral instruments. Good for practicing transposition. Major props to the builder for the inspiration, dedication, and kindness of doing this. That's my kind of luthier!
Ellen your physical beauty is unparalleled. You are a daughter any father or mother could be proud of. Your wisdom precedes your time on earth. As I sit here right now I can only weep as one who has no children nor ever married. This makes my day ... 🦋
That bass is SO cool!! And the color of the woods are AMAZING!! I've owned two custom Warrior Instument basses, and those remind me of his guitars. Congratulations!!
Your daughter is gonna be a legend if she sticks with music. I've been playing music about as long as she's been alive and she's already playing basslines as good or better than I can.
Linda, Maravilhosa... adorei o vídeo em que ela tocou Rush. É uma criança abençoada. Sou brasileiro. Beautiful, Wonderful... I loved the video where she played Rush. She is a blessed child. I am Brazilian.
Wow that small bass looks amazing, is reaaly a unique instrument, clearly the guys at Mayones master their craft. But, i think that the sweet spot of the video is to see Ellen's smile. (is really priceless to see a happy Kid and a loving father sharing a cool momento).
Exactly my thoughts: come one, a custom guitar he waited 3 years for? Just OPEN THAT BOX and SHOW US! 😅 Maybe it's exactly the same design than this beautiful piccolo bass?
@@rayhaynes2021 Well, "piccolo" is Italian for "small" and often used for "smaller instrument than normal size", e.g. piccolo trumpet. So I literally meant "small bass". ☺ If you associate bass = big, this look like an oxymoron indeed. But since it really exists, I think it's closer to a paradox.
No flies on Ellen, she knew exactly what was in the box. I hope in future she looks back on these times as the best and most formative time of her life, and that she appreciates the beautiful things you have done for her.
I love watching Ellen's videos, and I'm always smiling. I have seen a clear evolution in her technique over time. Good pizzicato, sweeping through the strings, she plays amazingly. This little bass is so cool, I miss one like this for carrying on a travel

Dude, when she started playing those motown sounding melodies, my heart exploded, played like a champ
Even though Dad waited 3 years for his guitar to be made. He is genuinely more excited for his Daughters new bass. Great Dad and so nice to see !
Not really a good thing. Thats some dance mom vibes Looks more like the whole thing is more about him getting the attention using his child.
Loopspin: That's because he's one of the coolest Dads in the world.
I agree more worried about content than letting be a kid for a moment
Man she deserves this bass… She’s such a well behaved little lady. It’s perfect for her too!
Seeing her play that tiny bass was one of the cutest things I've ever seen, and her technique is amazing!
Yeah, and I bet having that mini bass will make it easier for her to improve.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Ellens fingers were automatically ready to go as soon as she touched her new bass.
Her smile simply takes away all the ugly in the world.
God bless your whole family.

You can be justly proud that you have one of the rare UA-cam channels which is heart-warming and enlightening.
She did NOT want to let go of it once she got her hands on it.Awesome !!
And ,Mayones...that was a wonderful thing you did for this budding star !!!
Great support dad !!!
She is absolutely so very much talented, so darn cute and an angel. God bless you both! That laugh, as a father of a daughter, it is priceless!
Ellen's eyes always seem to sparkle with pure joy... I'm so happy to be able to watch this little lady on her adventure of music 😀 Thanks again for sharing her and her talent with the world⭐
I always enjoy watching Ellen and Dad . So much joy 😊

I’m a new dad; and watching how you support your daughter is awesome.
dude. i get nothing but good vibes when I see how you are with your daughter. makes me smile
❤ I don’t know you guys but it makes me happy to see that you’re so happy what a blessing
So patient while Daddy plays his gaslighting games. She's a keeper.
You got the BEST daughter! What a joy she is! Her laugh is just infectious!
"People are GREAT!!". I agree, that is the coolest bass EVER!! And it sounds as good as it looks!!
And here is the proof, Mayones is an instrument, and it sounds awesome if played by such talented musicians. Looks sooo cool, perfect travel bass.
It’s so beautiful! What a lucky little girl to get such a magnificent present! As my late father would say, use it, enjoy it in good health!
That bass is probably more expensive than any of my full size basses.... look at the construction, woods, pickups, hardware.... fretwork, all completely custom..... holy moly. And it sounds amazing, of course in the hands of one of youtube's top bass players Ellen!
I'm not sure who was more blessed by this.
Great Gift from Dad to Daughter... GOD BLESS YOU!
very talented little girl, adorable!

Cute little bass. Just As adorable as the child playing it!
That ain't no CHILD.
.
. == That's a BAD - ASS little 4 Slinger ==

That is about the coolest bass I have ever seen! What an amazing gift!
Kudos to the manufacturer for blessing Ellen with an instrument that fits her tiny hands.
That will help her immensely.
What an awesome father daughter relationship ❤ ♥ 💖
this IS the coolest bass ever... and it sounds even cooler. smooth as mayonnaise
Along with all the amazing, loving instruction in music you've given her, thanks for letting Ellen be a child, Dad, even as her gifts mature beyond her years ❤
She’s so adorable she’s definitely the sunshine to whole of this world,,, you’ve always put a smile in my face ,,, God Bless You!!!!
One of THE BEST youtube videos ever!!
Just GREAT!!
The relationship that you have with your daughter is magnificent, You sir are the example of being a great father, God bless you.
Como é bom a felicidade dessa menina com o agrado do seu pai.
A felicidade desse pai é tão somente ver a filha feliz.
Q Deus abençoe vcs.
She's so adorable!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ellen is more dexterously fluid on bass than most lead guitarists! The late John Entwistle would surely approve...
Most lead guitarist? I get it that people here are bassist but damn you guys haven’t seen a real guitarist if you’re saying that
Woah!!!!!!yeah indah suuuuut gitar basses!!!!!yaeeehhhh!!!
I lake fadr sou
Wow! Stunned at how well Ellen played that thing. Her fingers danced all over that bass. And what a beautiful mini it is! Sounds fantastic! More please!!!
All bright eyes and smiles, ooooo wait, and talent. I wish we all could have had a dad like that.

Молодцы не все в мире потеряно
.пока на свете будут такие прекрасные люди счастья вам.
What a proud dad... and what a sweetheart young lady. Priceless.
This is really cool, like seeing someone so young(let's call her what she is, a prodigy) so into music is just awesome. Shes gonna be in so many bands and show off her talent and that's just cool.
Best video of a father presenting his daughter I've ever watched. Congratulations! And I keep saying how happy I am to follow the evolution of little Ellen in playing the classics of Rock and Metal.😄
That is SO cool. You are both such a joy to watch.
Amen
Awesome! Now I want to see the guitar.
omg out off the box and she plays it like a pro. she's sooo good
You put a smile in a childs heart and the imprint will last forever. Love her bass and she can tickle those strings!!

Her smile and enthusiasm are unmatched!!! I wish her the very best in life. I don't know any little ladies her age that even know who Pink Floyd is. Glad to see her Rockin the Floyd T-shirt!! You guys both Rock 🎸
If she keeps playing in 3 yrs she will be phenomenal.. keep it up.
gorgeously CUTE lil girl with the SUPPORT of daddy/family....OMG!! what a lucky and TALENTED lil girl!!...god BLESS you ALL!!!!
I am very happy for Ellen🤩 it is very important that the children learn and play good instruments.Bravo Mayones🎸
She picked it up like an old friend! I'm truly amazed of her talent! So smart and artistic as well! I've seen your drawings, extremely well!!
Don't you just love that little kid? And she's such a good bass player too! Jacko Pastorious would be so proud!
Wow wow wow wow! That is a beautiful bass and gift!
Watching her thrilled and playing. The best gift
Also, Ellen... you have the BEST natural rhythm and feel of any young bassist I've heard. Ever.
That's pretty cool! I would like to see the customized guitar as well.
That's a gorgeous instrument, it really is. It probably has to be set to a different register than a standard bass, but that's a common feature among orchestral instruments. Good for practicing transposition.
Major props to the builder for the inspiration, dedication, and kindness of doing this. That's my kind of luthier!
Ellen you are so deserving of this! Mayones, bravo!! You saw talent from the start and you have sponsored a well deserved artist
Ellen your physical beauty is unparalleled. You are a daughter any father or mother could be proud of. Your wisdom precedes your time on earth. As I sit here right now I can only weep as one who has no children nor ever married. This makes my day ... 🦋
What a cool company. I'll be checking them out. And that bass is uniquely beautiful.
Amazed by the bass, blown away by the girls talent!
That bass is SO cool!! And the color of the woods are AMAZING!! I've owned two custom Warrior Instument basses, and those remind me of his guitars. Congratulations!!
Never seen a bass this small, really special
Your daughter is gonna be a legend if she sticks with music. I've been playing music about as long as she's been alive and she's already playing basslines as good or better than I can.
Talk about a feel-good video!
Super sweet. I love seeing a kid acting like a kid…add loving music and the love to make music and you have a dream life watching her grow.
Wow it's so cute to see how thrilled he was...
I hope so much for her!
Linda, Maravilhosa... adorei o vídeo em que ela tocou Rush. É uma criança abençoada. Sou brasileiro.

WELL DESERVED - good on you Mayones. Come on dad we want to see your box opening.
Exactly my thoughts: come one, a custom guitar he waited 3 years for? Just OPEN THAT BOX and SHOW US! 😅
Maybe it's exactly the same design than this beautiful piccolo bass?

@hay here
Yeah!!!! I Want To See The Big Box, Unboxed, Too!!!! 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
So sweet! I am curious to know if there are any videos of dad and Ellen playing together? I would love to see that.
No flies on Ellen, she knew exactly what was in the box. I hope in future she looks back on these times as the best and most formative time of her life, and that she appreciates the beautiful things you have done for her.
Wow. That's the nicest mini-bass/guitar Ive ever seen. Well played too.
What a tender imagine...this girl so happy about is brand new mini bass! These things warm our heart...my best wishes Ellen!!!
