The MicroBass 

What kinda set up did you get for it? Like strings and size? Im nervous about getting comfy on a short scale and then being bad at regular sized necks.

@@skaterdude7277 you'll be fine I switch between this M-Bass to my hofner to my 42" scale Upright double Bass & then to my full scale Thunderbird bass all the time and it never affected me in any way, the trick is I think, is to switch between them a lot don't just stick with one for a long time switch it up a lot. Even though ever since I got this bass I've been playing this one way more than any instrument I got, it's so fun to play and sounds so unique and dirty I love it!

I want one!🎸🎼👍

If it wasnt 400 dollars I'd consider it but for 400 you have a lot of better options.

I thought about MIRACOLI 🤣

Noodling on a bass.

😂🤣

Loool

Alien Breaks I'm craving pho now

@@ryucanlas9612 Shabu here XD

As a stringed instrument player i can't confirm these are noodle strings except for ukuleles, those are pasta strings

Easy. Don't present us your mum or ur gf buddy, or i would buy it too.

Yea but you didn’t

Thank you!

The second song was “This Love” by Maroon 5.

Just a clarification: Ain't Nuthin But A G Thang IS NOT A SONG BY DR. DRE. Dr. Dre simply sampled the song "I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You" by Leon Haywood.

@@SpectorEuro4 This is true but most people will recognize it by the Dre song anyway.

@@ccaa7674 True. But the Dr. Dre is known as being quite the fraudulent guy. All you have to do is watch the Straight Outta Compton movie to see that.

It showed up in your recomended feed cos the interent is watching and listening to us at all times. But then you probably know that don't you? Peace

and how much exactly did this acoustic bass with about 1/2 the available notes cost you?

Tetra Digm A: you mustve not read it. The school bought it. Not me. B: Its a shortscale. But it has 20 available frets. Thats only 16 notes less than my full 24 fret electric yamaha. C: Believe me. Its worth it. A handmade bass that has beautiful tone and easy handling/portability without compensating volume, not to mention its electric acoustic, is worth the money. If i could record id make a demo and send it to these folks just because of how amazing this bass is. I can play stuff from the gorillaz to tool to metallica to the killers to weezer on this thing. Its a beautiful and amazing machine.

thats actually only 4 notes less, the notes of the highest 4 frets on the E,A, and D string occur a string up 5 frets lower.

Lucas Martin 4 frets missing on each 4 strings 4*4=16 notes less

We offer a 23" and 25" scale microbass so you can find the one that fits you best! goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldtone/products/basses?menu_category=micro-bass&sort=az

Just curious, but what does being a girl have to do with wanting this?

@@profile2047 Trash marketing bro. LOL

Nothing wrong with that! 😎

We'll definitely consider it.

forever looking down on 5 string "bass players"

Welcome to the Low Zone Stay out of treble.

Percy Barbarossa take walks on wild side

do you know where i can find those strings?

@@profeat *elastic bands* y'know?

It is. We also have the 25" scale, which is similar to a Stratocaster, so it's even easier to play!

interesting

Thats actually a great idea.

very impressive but... oh wait

impressive, but can you send yourself to him?

Yes

But he has a uke bass already it sounds very similar

We're big fans of Kurt, and since we try to go see him play every chance we get!

I've never seen any evidence that says they wouldn't.

It definitely will improve your right hand fingering action...

Well, they might know you exist.

Jeff Smith only if you can play wonderwall

most definitely.

if you like shoegaze, look up Seagull by Ride, the bassline is extremely similar

It's Taxman by the Beatles.

Paul McCartney

Taxman - The Beatles

#TYBG This like is for you, internet gentleman

Thank you for your service to the internet.

Also sampled in "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest.

@@theHumanBryno, "sampled"...or what talented people tired of being ripped off call it, "plagiarized."

Thany you so much

@Jo P I disagree, it sounds pretty good for what it is. If you're comparing it to an E bass or an upright bass, then yeah, but you're comparing two different instruments that have similar but different uses in a rather unfair way. Beds are certainly a lot more comfortable than sleeping bags, but no one would want to carry around a full bed for a hike just because it's more comfortable. The acoustic body on the uke bass is for practice not performance, you can hear it fine in most situations, and it even holds up well in quiet jam sessions. When plugged in, it sounds very good, and the quality of its playability for the money when compared to a full size bass guitar it is superior. I own a comparably priced full size acoustic bass guitar, it does sound amazing compared to the U Bass, however it's only marginally louder. Anything I can play on an e Bass I can play on my U Bass with ease, but that is not the case with the full-size acoustic Bass. The internal electronics and the quality of wood on my U Bass are much higher since there's less material and labor needed for the same price.

@Jo P Not from what I've seen online. I mean yeah, you can buy an acoustic bass for $100, and it may sound fine acoustically, but it's playability will be shotty at best. Something in that price range, if it has internal pickups at all would be pretty shity sounding. I've done a good amount of research on these basses, it seems like $300 for a full size acoustic bass guitar is about what you'd expect for something of reasonable quality. A good quality acoustic bass guitar costs a little over a grand. So, to carry on with my analogy, for $100 you'd get an awesome sleeping bag, but for that same money, you could buy a cheap uncomfortable mattress. Btw, $100 is a lot for a sleeping bag, but $300 is not much for an instrument.

@Jo P They both average at around $260. So, I'm not sure what you're suggesting costs twice as much.

Nothing solid yet, but we have been playing around with that idea

I had thyroid cancer and lost my high range so I use baritone guitars tuned to a standard with 5 string basses. I have a Taylor acoustic bass but that thing is for e tuning :-( . How about a BARITONE 4 string bass?

Yes PLEASE. I love the 5 string and one in this form factor would be amazing.

@Jen Striker it's a iykyk situation

tremendos los beatles robando la línea de bajo de 31 minutos para 'Taxman'

@@chemahefferan9653 unos descarados

Nylon strings are more suited for high notes and pitches. It wouldn't make sense to put them on a bass unless you are davie504

Yes, Sir!

i learned this song when i took bass lessons. still haven't heard the actual song so im glad i saw this cuz i would have heard it somewhere and tripped out not knowing why i knew it lol

No lo c bro (Si es Taxman)

Check out my cover of "taxman" on my channel if you want to see some sweet Hofner action!

uh oh i am trippin'! lol whats the first song you played? i learned that in lessons too lol

They wouldn't work unless you have a piezo pickup

Also I believe it’s not possible on the longer scale.

@@jazzman1954 thanks

ernest_hemingway666 put 4-6 quart water in pot. Put 1/4 cup salt in. When boiling, place strings in for 3-5 minutes.

Gloo Boot that’s only for box strings if you whip up a batch of fresh strings they reach al dente in less than 30 seconds

Ain't nuthin' but a G thang baby

Sounds like it! I’m happy you recognized it.

Then what is the point of having an acoustic bass? Might as well get a short scale regular bass if you have to plug it in anyway, no?

I agree. Why have an acoustic bass that you can't hear acoustically.

MomoTheBellyDancer They sell a solid body with the same strings.

Tom Lauria You would feel the vibrations. That's why uprights are so cool...

it sounds like utter shit thats why

We do have a left-handed model!

Gold Tone this is wonderful news!!!!!!!!! I'm super excited about this.

My left-handed friend received his last week and loves it.

What's up with you lefties? Just become right handed and stop making everything so difficult.

Ein Walroß yeah...not that easy

sean blake Walk on The Wild Side by Lou Reed

Taxman by the Beatles or Start! by The Jam.

Mr. Wright by the Claypool-Lennon Delerium is similar, too. They picked up a lot from Beatles style.

Gioele Gentile Lou read walk on the wild side

Thats a club penguin bass riff? :v

David Holmes - Yen on a Carousel (from oceans eleven)

Lou Reed - Walk On the Wild Side

Lucas Rocha couldve swore it was Can I kick it by A Tribe Called Quest

I need to know 2

@@1998superjet ATCQ, forgot what song tho

@@maxcruz15 I found it, it’s actually Take a Walk on the Wild Side

From Lou Reed's 1972 album " Transformer" ' walk on the wild side' ... Herbie Flowers played the bass on this track. Though David Bowie was credited with producing this album,it really was done mostly by guitarist/arranger/multi- instrumentalist Mick Ronson who got zero credit for his extensive work on this LP.

Joe Taylor can I kicks it by a tribe called quest

Kevin_Sayegh No, it's walk on the wild side by Lou Reed.

honestly I thought it was the ending song from Super Mario 64

Dennis Kramer They are the same riff

Kevin_Sayegh they sampled Lou reed for that

topopops Get real

Gideon Horowitz ??????

IDK how much those actually cost, but I'm guessing its a lot more than $99

Gideon Horowitz €99 seems like a fair price

You know what? You're right. My comment was out of line and I sincerely apologize.
