Gawd, so bloody funny when you said, "Look at it!" I totally heard Rick Gervais, 100%!
Lovely review BTW!
Hehe appreciate the comparison!
Very nice brother, im shopping for a left hand U bass now 👊🏼
Great information 🤝
@@therooster6104 glad this was helpful, let me know how you like yours!
Im getting mine tomorrow from southern ukulele. This video is very interesting. Thanks
@@mikeclarke9281 great to hear, hope you enjoy yours!
I have the Flight P Bass. It came perfectly set up and intonated. Maybe I got Lucky? I bought it at Thomann so I dont think it was given a set up there. I am soooo happy with it. Beats my acustic Ukulele Bass every day. Good Video, thanks.
@@cantamusquerbeat glad you like yours!
How does this compare to a Fender Japan Junior collection jazz bass?
@@bjamminsincebirth3494 never heard of it so I can’t answer sorry. Let me know how you get on though!
if the tuner stable? will it easily out of tune wbile playing ? or after playing a while? it seems to be a common issue in short scale instrument.
@@MusicTyson honestly, yes. It keeps up-tuning and I thought it was just my cold house. I had it downstairs so I kept checking the tuning as I walked past it daily. Hoping that some new thicker strings will do the trick. And also the tuning machines are way too sensitive
oh ic . seems okay .
but after massive slapping it, can it till stay in tune？
@ that leaves a little more to be desired
@@MusicTyson Just retune. All instruments go out of tune. Try playing violin! What’s the problem?
It needs audio taper potentiometers instead of linear
@@bassclefconnoisseur maybe, could you explain what that means?
I don’t understand why a normal short 30” scale bass isn’t a better option. This is just too cramped even if it sounds acceptable
@@jazzman1954 ukulele players gotta ukulele player.
@@MarcGallagherMusic I guess you can get therapy!
They are heavy
@ 30” Heavy? Have you ever played a Precision 34” or a Jaydee? That’s heavy unless you are a child or a physically challenged person. Most 10 year old kids are able to play a 30” scale with a little work.
Why make such a fuzz about the intonation, it's a 5 minutes fix!
@@piaten it’s really not, turned out part of the intonation video was the string gauges being too thin
@@MarcGallagherMusic I got a Mini Corsair, and the string gauges never was a hindrance to adjusting the intonation. That being said, these minis could do with thick strings, just for tension and keeping the tuning better, but that 's a separate issue. I now use the bottom 4 from a 5-string set on mine, a bit on the tight side, but works pretty well for standard tuning.
the uke simply isnt a serious / proper instrument, its for kids like a recorder. its tone SUCKS, therefore for 99.9% of songs - its useless, thats why you can hear a million mandolin parts on countless famous songs and almost not a single uke part.
@@johnwatts8346 a bass is a completely different instrument to Uke though?
@@MarcGallagherMusic yep, and id suggest you devote yourself to that instead.
@@johnwatts8346 I’ve played ukulele in 12 countries, I think I’m doing just fine
I had a look at your vidoes mate and although you are a good guitarist there are ukulele players out their that are better musicians than you. They can do more with a uke than you can with a guitar.
@@pinkelephant4591 of course there are, but i still think its an instrument for kids / not serious.
