Oak-bodied Bass Uke with Fishman Electronics
Top, back, & sides of triple-matched, satin-finished laminate oak give the Lanikai Oak Bass A/E Ukulele a deluxe tone and exotic good looks — all with the quick-gigging convenience that Lanikai's premiere acoustic-electric ukuleles are known for. You get the same wide, comfortable neck profile, upgraded Graph Tech nut and saddle, and lightweight open-back tuners that have helped make Lanikai ukuleles a household name among players in the know. This result is a great-playing, high-performance bass uke that'll draw the eye hanging on your studio wall or slung over your shoulder. The Fishman Clásica II pickup system gives this uke rock-ready (so to speak) tones in a stage setting. Adding value are the D'Addario strings and Lanikai padded gig bag.
