bornagainbass65 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Of course no standard scale acoustic bass guitar is going to sound quite like an upright ('I cannae change the laws of physics!') but I thought this was a pretty good impersonation. Doesn't look as cool though. Nice job by Mr. Vliex who deserves more than 300 views on YouTube. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Blimey. If I heard that on an audio recording, I'd have put money on that being an upright. Full disclosure - I am an unrepentant Rockin' P Bass guy and consequently unused to the dulcet tones of a proper bass, and a bit deaf. That said - that was great. Fantastic playing too.

NickA Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Nice sound and another world from my Tanglewood acoustic. Doesn't sound any more like a double bass than a kalu u-bass though. Too twangy? The attack is wrong somehow. And at the size of it, may as well get a double bass .... almost. Still good playing and a very worthy sound of its own ( unlike my Tanglewood) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not really the bass that’s doing the impression, player is 80% of it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 That brush work is not hurting things for the overall vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
