I think it looks great.

You can get a lot of uke for £100. I recommend having a look at this store: https://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/

The exotic-looking uke is a Fluke... I have one, it's a fab little instrument.

I certainly do, but that wasn't one of them.

But was that tone or his style of playing?

I think you might have missed the point. Attracting and retaining viewers on a YouTube channel is not something everyone can do or learn to do. It does take talent. Some people have a natural flair for entertainment, most don't. Would you be able to generate material that would attract hundreds of thousands of viewers on a regular basis? There are kids on YouTube who have earned far more than I'll earn in my lifetime. All power to them.

...quite a decent living from all accounts: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sweet-sound-of-success-for-online-bass-tutor-7hjktpgtm

I don't know his playing to be honest. I haven't watched his videos, but clearly other people have and he's making a living from them.

When your field is earning money from youtube it does.

You'll have to share it with me. It has 325 k views so far... which is higher than his average views. It's earned him a few hundred quid.

Oh yeah... jazz flute!

A neat trick is to get the Aebersold playalongs and hit Spotify for the classic versions of the tracks. Volume 54 and 70 are good places to start (volume 1 and 24 are usually cited as the best places to start, but that's more for soloists).

This list ^ Add: Moanin' - Art Blakey Django - Joe Pass Miles Smiles - Miles Davis Round About Midnight - Miles Davis... in fact all of the late 50s - early 60s Miles albums Duke Ellington & John Coltrane Blue Train... too many

You look awesome!

I don't really recognise the picture painted by the OP. Basschat is one of the warmest, friendliest places I've been a contributor to. One thing that comes to mind is that it's easy to mistake the intentions that the author of a post had and to draw offense where none is due. Try to imagine they're written by nice people with smiles on their faces and winks in their eyes (but not in a Werthers Original way).

I've seen people do this to take advantage of free listings.

Have no intention of watching the video but "must play a precision bass" is short hand for "must play bass lines rather than jaco noodling".

Both are unofficial. "Longhorn"... it has a long horn. "Boner"... it has a long horn. Fender played with the length of the upper horn for balance reasons. Some people liked it, but not enough for them to keep making it.

They're not all that common in that body shape... I think they only did them for two or three years

That's a longhorn "boner" Jazz.

Well. I'd paint that.

No, still there under this listing... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Jazz-Bass-Guitar-1970s/273613510006?hash=item3fb4a2d576:g:rhsAAOSwujJcFnL2:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true
