Hey everyone, hope you're having a great weekend!

So I decided to buy an acoustic bass sort of on a whim but also because I knew it would unlock a whole new range of sounds that aren't possible on an electric bass, especially percussive stuff. I think it turned out great and I'm looking forward to doing more videos with it!

Thanks so much for your support and have a great weekend!

See you in the next video,

Charles

Slapping an ACOUSTIC bass sounds ridiculously FUNKY!

Great playing. I loved it. I’m curious—did you adjust the action on that acoustic bass? If so, how?

Also, I was thinking, what about you on acoustic and someone else on upright—a bass duet. Playing something like a contemporary take on Mack the Knife. I’m probably dating myself. Great job on this video by the way.

Yeah the guy at the instrument shop actually adjusted it for me... I don't really know how to adjust the action on an acoustic unfortunately... it seems very different from an electric. Sorry I can't help more but if you have an acoustic that needs adjustment, I guess you could either look up how to do it on YouTube or take it into a store!
