​@@guymanmen7556that Snargemccoy deleted his comments. I would have said "bass" refers to the range of notes. Upright bass is also called "bass violin" because it's a violin that plays in the bass range of notes. Bass Guitar is a guitar that plays in the bass range, bass tuba, same range.

To anyone out there. What Movie line is this from? "This is a Bass Guitar, and it's exactly the same thing, but instead of playing like this, you tip it on the side, 'chello', you've got a bass".

As someone who’s first instrument was an upright bass, it takes it mad difficult learn guitar because the notes are different and you only look at the bass clef when learning bass. It does make it easier to learn electric bass guitar though.

I learned double bass in my school’s orchestra around the same time as guitar.

yes you can! slapping the bass has existed for a long time,

the upright bass from my perspective is that it's used a lot in classic country music.

Intonation will be off until you learn where the notes are.

Other way ‘round for me.

“And know you can pretend to play an upright” hahaha until you discover finger destruction after a min straight of playing

cool hoodie , where did you get it?

It's a real shame I can't find a cheap one (under 300 euros) because I'd LOVE to have one in my own studio to play on some jazzy songs I've written. Also, the fact that it has a fretless fingerboard makes it a perfect instrument to strengthen any musician's ear. The intonation of the notes is all down to the player's touch and I love this challenging aspect about it!

What type of acoustic guitar is that in this video?

Put some scotch tape along the side of the neck/ fretboard where you can see it. Use a tuner and sharpie to mark where the notes are on the low E string. Lets you know places to start for the fingerings to keep things mostly in tune. The rest is your ear and knowing your fretboard for notes on the other strings. You can at least imagine where the frets/notes would be. :)
