Jammin' with my Kala UBass | 07 "C-Jam Blues"

Video number 7 in my "Jammin' with my Kala UBass" series. This time I'm jammin' on "C-Blues Jam" with the great Frank Vignola Trio @ Galleri Astley in Uttersberg, Sweden on April 16 2011.
For you "perfect pitch" guys/girls out there - it's in B flat ;-))
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. I really hope I'll be able to play with these guys again soon!

I'm wondering when you use your Fishman bass preamp for your Ubass, what's your preference or where do you set your bass and treble knobs?

[bassMAGics]

@popitn2nd Hi! Well I've used the Fishman preamp almost every time I've played the bass since I first got it July 2010. If I haven't it's because I might have forgot to bring it to the rehearsal or gig ;-)

About the settings: I put the treble and bass at "12" as a starting point but might roll of some treble to get rid of some piezo "uglyness"!

I've recently bought another preamp (2 channels, built in DI…) and I will compare the two in a future blog post at playubass[dot]wordpress[dot]co­m

[popitn2nd]

Great playing! Anyway..What was that hanging behind your back on your guitar strap? Was that your pre amp?

@popitn2nd Thanks! You're absolutely right! The Fishman Pre has a clip so I can put it on my strap. Sometimes I do this, sometimes I don't. This time it was a smart thing since I plugged straight into the mixing board that was far stage right. This way I could control volume and tone (treble and bass) right at the strap!

@JohnnyNeptunchi Great that you bought the fretless one! Have you read my blog posts about my signal chain? Check it out at playubass[dot]wordpress[dot]co­m

If you don't use a pre-amp before your amp och PA system you will get a quite harsh sound. But using a pre-amp will soften the sound…It will hopefully help getting a more upright sounding sound! I'll keep you (and everyone else) posted on how my CDs projects develop on my blog! Take care!

Customer Reviews:

"I received my uBass 2 (spruce top, fretted) and love it. I usually play short (30") scale basses and did not find the size of this bass that hard to adapt too. I am playing it thru an Ampeg Portabass amp and the tone is great. As everyone says, very much similar to an upright bass. I used the normal passive input (without an outboard ..."

@bassMAGics The standard fretless version. Very nice tone, btw. Although i cant seem to dial in that upright tone you've got goin on. And thats pretty good playing for one show! Guess thats one of those "once in a lifetime" moments lol Ill keep up with your work as long as you keep up the good work! Ill be the first to buy the CD!!

[bassMAGics]

@JohnnyNeptunchi Thanks! What version did you buy? Just curious :)

I've only played this once with these guys. I just 'sat in' on two tunes without any rehearsal whatsoever...But hopefully I'll play with them again soon!

I have some recording planned for early 2012. Both a UBass specific CD and other stuff involving the UBass... Stay tuned on YouTube and at my blog playubass[dot]wordpress[dot]co­m for info on these projects!

[JohnnyNeptunchi]

You've inspired me to buy one of those! Great playing bro! Do you guys have an album or cd? Id love to hear more

[bassMAGics]

@Kalenski Thanks! I aim to put smiles on peoples faces. So thank you one again!
