Konnichiwa! I'm Brent. I live in Japan, and I post mainly about music and Japan life. I hope you enjoy both, but if not, let me know! I might separate those topics into different channels.
I really appreciate every subscriber I get! Thank you so much!
My original music is on iTunes, but viewing and liking is much appreciated!

cool! I also commented on KZread. The rating should be good.
Your pronunciation is beautiful! I’m so touched 🥺
Great video!
Thanks James!!
its a simple chord progression. one doesn't own that
We also have this in India
Thanks!! Seems like all of Asia has it. I wonder about the Americas and Europe.
Nice groove...
Thanks for listening Willie!!
How about Europe or the Americas?
OK, so it seems I've never tried this in other Asian countries!! I've been to Thailand, Singapore, etc... just never tried it, or it was so long ago elevators didn't have that function.
In india too, pretty common for newer elevators
standard feature for many elevators in asia. it depends on the elevator model too, some only need to click once, some need to press and hold to cancel.
older elevators before the 2000s don't have this feature.
It also works in Singapore
Ye in the Philippines too
Oh oh!! I think I need to travel more!! LOL
In my country you just click it again and it deselects.
Really!! Awesome!! Why aren’t ALL elevators like that!?
Why was I expecting him to go to floor 345 or smth
😂
My Dean Exoticas are more versatile than my P or J basses...Aphex System electronics, Aural Exciter and Big-Bottom Sound. Killer tone with the proper strings...D'Addario black tapewounds. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKealNudccWuqKw.html
I heard the wound strings tend to break quite often with locking tuners? That'S more or less the only thing keeping me from them
Interesting. I’ve never heard that. That has never happened to me on acoustic with locking tuners, and I play really hard. I don’t bend much though.
I’ve now come to the conclusion that I’m also crap on fretted too after this performance mind you I’ve only been playing 50 + years! Great playing there. Brilliant.🏴🇬🇧
Wow!! Thanks so much!! I’ll release another vocal/bass video once my intonation gets better on the new bass.
La Bella sounds fuller to me on the lows. I’ve got an 80,s Japanese Vox white Shadow fretless do you think these strings would be suitable! By the way my fretless playing is crap. Cheers….from 🏴🇬🇧
Wow! Rare bass! Some people really love them. I’m sure the LaBellas would sound great on it, if you’re interested in tapewounds and you like that rounder tone. I agree (I think everyone would agree) that the LaBellas have a fuller low tone.
Yeah I got the Vox from ex Be Bop Deluxe bass player called Mike Close here in Yorkshire England. It’s currently got 45 rounds on it. Beautiful dark rosewood unmarked board. Seriously don’t spend enough time with it. I have a 77 Rick and a Japanese Boxer in Torino red which I absolutely adore and gig with. Seriously Japanese craftsmanship is second to none. Cheers mate.🏴🇬🇧
tried them both: I played the LaBella's on a second hand Fender jazz (fretted): even with good setup it was not possible to have good intonation on the E string ... This second hand bass had already wider cut out nut slots that you need to put something like a 115 for the E and 60 for the G string ... When I wanted to put these on my P bass, it didn't work because it has the normal nut slots ... Than in a (jazz) band situation it's true that it becomes less clear what note you are playing because of the character of the sound of the LaBella's. (sound very good on your own but does not always work with other instruments) So the negative: you need to cut out the nutslots, intonation on E string, too wooly sound playing in a band. So I went to the d'Addario's ('cause I like Damian Erskine's sound with them). I was afraid that they would feel to sloppy because of the thinner gage: that was not the case, for me they even feel a bit stiffer (or maybe because they have more attack, I play them softer ...) You don't have to widen the nutslots (so now I have these on my P bass that I use to play jazz), they have more highs and mids so you hear more clear what note you play when playing with other instruments, when you want them to sound warmer, just roll down the tone knob ... and maybe most important: no more bad intonation on the E string! The problem I always had with P bass when playing jazz: the sound always works anywhere with any band (which is not the case with a jazzbass: sometimes it's great and sometimes it doesn't work at all ...) but it worked on my nerves that you keep on hearing this typical P bass character. That's better now with the d'Addario tapewounds: makes the bass sound more neutral. (also tried the Rotosound tapewounds: the intonation problem was worse than with LaBella and on every string, a bummer because I liked the sound!)
Seems like we both came to the same conclusion but you went through a lot to get there. I feel the same about the gauge. They are lighter, but the tensiion is good. Anyway, thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Cheers for the info.🏴🇬🇧
Hey Man, (Brian B , from the Valley here) Love them both!! Nylon is a very animated sound :)
Hey man! Thanks for watching! Yeah, I love them both too! Can't go wrong with either.
Ghs use flatwound for EAD & round for the G sting. LaBella uses round.
Oh! Interesting. Thanks. I just looked at the Fender site for another poster and they didn’t say.
D'addario are round wound with nylon tape.
Thanks!!
Nice job, I enjoyed listening to the ENTIRE recording... having the timings was extremely helpful also... it allows me to go back to review stuff. Thanks
Awesome, thank you for checking it out!! Glad it helped.
I use the D'Adderio's on my fretted acoustic bass - I find they have a 'crisper' tone.
I agree! Thanks for watching.
Wooowww......heart piercing..... Best
Have you ever used Fender Tapewound? I'm under the impression that they are round wound under the tape, which defeats the purpose? Any way nice bass!
I looked a bit on the Fender site and they didn’t really say. They mentioned that in general, tape is wound over round or flat strings to produce tape wound strings. In any case, they sound pretty good. And glad you liked the bass. Thanks for watching!!
I'm very late but happy birthday, 🕊🕊🕊
Never too late! Or too early! LOL
I am very impressed with the srh500f, depending on the venue I either use aTakemine TB10 or this. I am very tempted to get a 505!
I think as far as types of acoustic basses goes, the TB10 and SRH500F cover the gambit and represent the best in their particular genre.
Now I'm definitely considering getting this bass!👍
Go for it! You won’t regret it.
Awesome! 👌
Thanks! 😁
If you want an acoustic bass guitar to use amplified, you really should get one with a magnetic pickup. Piezos alone have a clacky sound that will always sound artificial. There are some things you can do with compression to help. You can also use an EHX attack decay pedal, in parallel to dry signal to tame that clack. But the best solution is a magnetic bridge pickup. If you want an acoustic bass guitar for recording, get a Martin, use flatwounds or tapewounds.
Hey! Thanks for your comment. I'm sure it's good for people to read because I did not mention it and I actually disagree - I don't like the sound of magnetic pickups. But that's why I like your comment. You're not wrong! Many people would prefer your way I'm sure so thanks for sharing. I agree that some piezos can sound artificial. It depends on the bass, and the ear. And oddly I always use compression when I record, but never when I play live. Maybe I should.
Bought the 500F 2 years ago and haven’t put it down since. Sound and playability are fantastic, you get the mwah!!! 🤪
Right!? Amazing bass!! If I always played through an amp, it would be the only fretless I own!
I own one of these and I love it. The acoustic mwah sound I get out of it is insane.Melodies just fly out of it, highly recommended 🤪
Totally agree!!
Loved it….made me cry! Adding the pictures really hit home! ❤️
My god! This thing looks and sounds AMAZING! I have got to get one!!
Do it!! You absolutely will not regret it!!
Looks awesome and clean!
Thanks! I'm still loving it after all this time!
Thanks for NOT doing a bunch of sound samples. There's no way to really hear what an instrument sounds like over the internet. Too many factors affect the sound. The conversation was excellent, speaking about the various scenarios for which someone might want an acoustic, and the applications thereof. Nice work, thank you.
Glad we think the same way! You’re exactly the kind of person for whom I made the video.
Great review
“20 grams of carb, if your on a low carb diet, you’re not having these” did you mean you ARE having these?
Haha. Interesting point! I guess we have to talk about what low carb means. I should have said that if you’re on a NO carb diet you’re not having these, just to be safe. These potatoes are among the healthiest carbs.
FAHRENHEIT 😂
Still got the ol tagger on it.
Already sold!
"Bass players when you go to the campfire, just play acoustic guitar" Gem comment :)
Talking +++. Too much.
Yeah! Sorry! There were already tons of sound samples out there so I wanted to do something different. I guess I should have added my own. Anyway, here is that bass in action - no talking. Just listen to the right channel only to isolate it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nX5-1ZJtfae0csY.htmlsi=IN09vMC4altwHPzM
You are revoltingly talented. Just stop it.
Wow!! Thanks so much, especially since my voice was shot that night!! You made my day!
I’d like my voice to be shot like that
Man you’re both fantastic! Lovely.
Of all the acoustic basses out there, the closest I've heard to sounding like an upright is actually a fretless Uke bass with silicone strings, however, none of these instruments put out enough volume unplugged except the long discontinued Ernie Ball Earth bass (and few sound like an acoustic once plugged in except the aforementioned Uke bass).
Hm! Interesting! Not the first time I've heard that, so it makes me want to try it out for myself, but as you wrote, it's impractical. I want my bass heard acoustically, but if I didn't I'd have stuck with the Ibanez!
Excellent … bravo 👏🏻
Excellent review … thank you
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
rotary club gigs are the best!!.......thanks for posting , Brent
Bravo, Brent👏❗If not your best, it's surely one of your best songs that I have heard👍
Thanks buddy!! Much appreciated!!
