I would also like to point out that this bass projects like you would not believe

Recommended for bassists looking for something a little different; for guitarists who always thought that basses were a little too big for comfort; and for anyone who wants a good bass sound without having to drop thousands of dollars (this one ran about $400), or whose hands aren't quite up to getting around on an upright instrument

Amazing bass and so much fun to play.

Having said that, this is one nice instrument, with the ability to offer a variety a tone options from it's “signature” upright double bass sound to a more “classic” electric bass sound

Great bass!

One minor disappointment for me is, apparently, this hollow body U-bass is not compatible with my Line 6 Relay wireless system

All in all a good bass for traveling especially when paired with a battery powered amp.

Great little bass

Not Like any other Bass Most People have

Bought this for my husband—he typically plays electric bass but has a soft spot for the uke—and he LOVES it

It is shipped with polyurethane strings and right out of the box, when amplified, it does give you a really nice upright bass tone

I bought new in 65, as well as 4 other basses, but this is the one I reach for first

If you're a bass player and haven't tried a U-Bass then prepare to be amazed because, plugged into an amp, this "just larger than a ukulele" sized guitar sounds disarmingly like an electrified double bass

the U-Bass is just too cool

The body is solidly crafted, well reinforced with bracing inside, and produces sweet, thick bass tones

It's a fun little bass to play.
