I have the ibanez and its the ideal sofa or garden bass. No faffing with cables and short enough that you can sit next to someone whilst playing, plus loud enough to jam with acoustics in the garden without annoying the neighbours or wildlife.

Lol that's literally why I got it, to just play when I'm laying on the couch or in bed. And because i live in an apartment and just dont wanna be a noisey dick lol It's my first bass so I just wanted to have something to mess around with as I've always been curious about the bass but mostly play the ukulele 😅 this is a super fun instrument though I wish I would have grabbed one much sooner

@GabrielVelasco 2 года назад

The Gold Tone really comes from the direction of being a bass UKULELE. It's tone is intended to work best with other ukuleles, I have used it with a regular band.

@mp3o Год назад

The Gold Tone Micro Bass comes in three types, either fretted, or fretless: the 25 (not shown here) has a standard Sratocaster/acoustic scale length of 25 1/2 inches, about 5 inches longer that a typical 'bass uke', and the 23, which can be either acoustic (the one in this clip) with a piezo pickup (like the 25), or solid body electric. Also, three types of strings are available: the standard polymer strings come installed, but you can order round wound "Silver Backs", which are nylon core, metal wrapped, similar to classical guitar strings, or lighter gauge flat wound nickel/steel strings that are suitable only for the fretless models, due to intonation differences. No affiliation with Gold Tone, just a satisfied customer.

Awesome presentation bredren 👍🏾 Picked up the Ibanez Looking forward to enjoying it Thanks for sharing

@LatiNoble Год назад

These are definitely niche products. They’re meant to play along with other travel acoustic instruments. As a bassist I always felt left out when a jam session would break out at a party or the beach campfire. When I did buy one, I would lug my acoustic bass, hard case and all, to the beach or on the trail with the risk that we wouldn’t play. One of these would’ve helped a lot.

@galindobbqanddeli Год назад

Played onthe Taylor today in my local shop........the finest acoustic bass i can get around me.....the action was superb and that neck is butter

@annode 9 месяцев назад

I just bought the Ibanez used w/case for $179. I plan to use it as an acoustic bass to play with recorded music as to practice playing along without needing to fuss with an amp. I also think electrically it sounded incredible and will for sure be recording with it. It appears to have a very sharp dynamic signature which I also like. Money well spent. Thanks for the demos guys!

@NickWeissMusic 9 месяцев назад

for campfire situations, I bring a mini bass (Ohana OBU, it's great), and a battery powered speaker. Acoustically, little basses just can't cut it against more than one guitar, if that. Upright bass bodies are big for a reason! Full size ABG's have a chance, but still generally so much better plugged in.

@forensicbass 2 года назад

Nice intro jam, guys! Worm String - sounds like the name of a character from Lord of the Rings. The Ibanez gets my vote for best unplugged sound. Plugged in, the Gold Tone sounds the most bass-y, less buzzy than the Taylor or Ibie.

@theUnSub_46 9 месяцев назад

I just purchased a Gold Tone M-Bass. That's how I got here. I have a Kala U-Bass but the balance between the strings doesn't match. The two outside strings are softer than the middle 2 strings. These types of basses have their own sound and I like it. Not like an upright nor an electric. I use the Kala in a bluegrass band when we play on crowded platforms that are sometimes difficult to get 5 people on much less with an upright. It work great and the look is exactly the opposite of an upright.

Funny how the American $1000 Taylor has an issue out of the box that just needs a little bit of adjustment, but if a Squier came that way, you'd dismiss it as "well, this is what you get from Asian factories."

@steverolfeca 2 года назад

Could have done your research better. The Ibanez, like the Guild Jumbo Junior Bass, uses exactly the same nylon-core D’Addario strings as the Taylor. Also, if you lighten up your attack and let the amp do the work, you get a much better, woody tone.

@glueball9511 Год назад

just buy a cordoba minibass 2 and call it a day. these are super cool and sound awesome but are as everyone is pointing out niche instruments, so unless you have a very particular usage/intentions for one of these, your GAS would probably be better satiated with something else. me on the other hand, do love what these things do and are for! i imagine someday i will buy a more expensive mini like a ukulele-toned GT, but for now and for the use 150 dollars for an ultra small scale acoustic electric bass cant really be beat by anything showcased in this video imo (although i hear the ibanez is great!). dont let GAS get you!

I'd love it of someone could make an acoustic bass that doesn't need to be amplified in an acoustic setting. As soon as an acoustic guitar or singer join in, the bass gets completely lost.

@mastadon7771 2 года назад

Unfortunately, it’s just not possible to get sufficient volume in those low frequencies. I’d say finding a smallish amplifying setup is the best compromise.

If played correctly you can play the Taylor so it doesn’t twang

@masonjones1506 Год назад

Same with the GoldTone. The secret to the U-bass strings is don't press down right behind the fret like you would on an electric. Press in the middle between the frets and you get less buzz (that seemed to work with the Kala U-bass anyway). Plucking takes more control as well. I see why Nathan held back on that on, it takes some getting used to!

@masonjones1506 Год назад

The U-bass strings really take some getting used to to get them to sound good (no disrespect to Lee who is a fantastic bassist!!) but they are a different animal. It's worth checking out Julia Hofer's demo if you are considering one...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f1eunn_7rfc.html.

@yomommaiscalling Год назад

Playing lightly is the key. Also seems you get less buzz by fingering more in the middle between the frets rather than close to the fret like you would with standard strings.

@luismrodriguezjr Год назад

I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Just the convenience of having something small and comfortable to play is what I’m looking for. Larger scale acoustic bases are so lame and huge that’s why you never see is playing them lol

A terrible review of a good instrument, the Gold Tone micro bass. Lee decides to play it as though he's hitting a jazz with roundwounds - totally incorrect and ending up with a misleading review, which could leave many folks doubting its use. Ive played for over 40 years, I have one of these in my collection and it is great for certain situations, is well made and well priced. Lee should consider a second review.

@oldraventwo 2 года назад

You absolutely do get drowned out by an acoustic guitar. It's why I got rid of mine. It's passable at the kitchen table, with one guitar only. Outdoors, it's much worse. If by the campfire, you'll blister yourself trying to keep up with 2 guitars, or get an awful tone with a pick. People shouldn't expect to be able to perform with an acoustic bass not plugged in.

@spicealbert4904 2 года назад

100% this. I don't know how they've got the cheek to say, "They don't need to be plugged in to sound good!" Of course they do. There's so little volume, especially but not only on the low E string. There's a reason why a double bass is the size it is.

@ratblls 2 года назад

@rafaelaparicio9682 2 года назад

A double bass is still much bigger and in most cases expensive than a small amp and an acoustic bass. And it also requires a very different technique... as for travel id take a ubass and a mini amp... enough for a small campfire gig...

I have never understood the point of an acoustic bass and I never will. Virtually none of them are loud enough to hear unplugged in a band setting, and when they're plugged in they either have that crappy piezo sound or a sound not that dissimilar from an electric bass anyway, so why bother? Play a P bass and be done with it. I will say that the basses that use the silicone strings (Kala, Goldtone, or the original Ashbory) are at least unique in that they do have their own sound plugged in (a huge fat tone at that too), but again, you could never play one unplugged and be heard. The only "true" acoustic bass you can play unplugged and be heard on in a band setting that gives you enough low end is an upright.

@rafaelaparicio9682 2 года назад

Aesthetics... sound is debatable too... ubass and mini amp for portability... there's the issue of feedback... idk. Volumewise... maybe perhaps for a chill two piece?

@annode 9 месяцев назад

Bass is an instrument you always need to be plugged in to play. It's a hassle as for learning and practicing. These small scale bass formats make it feasible for bass players to just be able to grab a bass on impulse like you would an acoustic guitar and play it. You clowns can't seem to wrap your heads around that concept...what blockheads!

@pjmuck 9 месяцев назад

@@annode Yes, let's resort to the name calling when we have no intelligent stance to back up our asinine comments: "Bass is an instrument you always need to be plugged in to play". No you don't. Ever heard of a double bass, genius? That's the ONLY acoustic bass capable of keeping up with a band unless you're plugging one of these toys in, and if you have to bring an amp to a campfire just to hear it when jamming with your friends, then you're not really all that portable anymore. So bring an electric bass (Um, they do make short scale basses too, you know). "Hassle"? Maybe to a talentless hack like you. "Acoustic guitar is played on impulse"? Hello! You can actually hear an acoustic guitar! Keep going, you're batting 1000. You want to play one, go right ahead, but I stated why I don't see the point. No "concept" to wrap our heads around.
