The Chain - U-Bass Solo Arrangement

The most difficult passage uses the right hand index finger to push down a fretted note while the right hand middle finger is plucking that note...all while the left hand is playing the iconic bass line towards th...

Learn To Play "Brown Eyed Girl" On U-bass In C Major - Cynthia Lin's Arrangement!
Переглядів 8555 місяців тому
This U-Bass part comes from Cynthia Lin and Ukulenny's version of the Van Morrison classic. Brown Eyed Girl is originally in the key of G, but the ukulele adaptation is often in C. @ukulenny uses arpeggios and scale walk ups plus a slightly syncopated rhythm to form a verse and chorus bass line that gives a hint of "island" vibes to the song. The original song uses a bass line that is more simi...

      The more expensive models with a different pickup like the ebony, exotic mahogany, and other models in that range as well as the solid body models don’t typically have this issue. It’s more common in the entry level models, and I’m not sure if they have solved this issue yet. Thanks for watching!

    thank for the sharing, it is very nice, I tried to use the string of normal bass and put it on my u bass, and I have intonation problem , the note at 12 fret will have halt note Sharper than the tuned open string. is it because of the normal scale length bass string?

    • @stephencoxbass
      @stephencoxbass 10 днів тому

      It could be the length, it could be the gauge of the string, and/or it could have to do with the string height/neck. I would recommend getting the strings specifically designed for it first…they have a nylon core instead of a metal one as well. Thanks for watching!

    Hello thanks so much for this information; 🙏🏾 I just received my “Luma Koa Ukulele Bari Bass” today. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the lil black strap knob on the bottom. 😢 I’m wondering would it be safe to have one installed? Also it’s hard to see how you have the strap attached on the top by the nut? 🤷🏽‍♀️ It’ll be awesome if you don’t mind sharing were you purchased your strap?

    • @stephencoxbass
      @stephencoxbass 19 днів тому

      Hi, and thanks for watching! I have definitely had a strap knob installed on a ukulele, so a shop should be able to add one for you relatively easily. The other end of the strap has a shoestring on it that just ties around the neck under the strings just past the nut. Congrats on the new bass ukulele!

    Great video! I tried on the same day as getting my Kala U-bass. Was very disappointed about the low volume of the E-string. You can easily test if your U-bass is suffering from this issue: Press hard on the E-string right above the saddle. If you hear a "click" noise when doing this, it shows that there is no tight contact between the saddle and the piezo. I used this video as reference for the modification, but I only cut the saddle between the E string and the A string (using a proper saw :-) and left the other three sections together, because only the E-string had a volume issue. That immediadetly removed the issue! The e-string is still a little "wobbly" due to its thickness, but the volume is now nearly the same as the other strings. If Kala reads this: Please fix it, it is definitely a design flaw.
