It’s All in The Name: Meet the Ultra-Light Bass Guitar

The next time you travel, leave your prized standard bass guitar at home and instead take flight with the compact Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light 5-string bass in tow. Traveler Guitar specializes in producing out-of-the-box designs and Sweetwater’s found the Ultra-Light bass to be a boatload of fun with great sound through its onboard piezo pickup. This bass features a maple body, neck, and fingerboard for a smooth feel and playability. Plus, a short and comfortable 30-inch scale length on this 33-3/4-inch instrument means you don't have to sacrifice that traditional bass fretboard feeling. For quality design, sound, and portability, you can’t miss with an Ultra-Light bass guitar from Traveler Guitar!

Ultra-compact design make it the optimal travel bass

This bass is compact: and we mean it! Weighing just under four pounds, this bass is the optimal instrument for traveling — it even fits in airline overhead compartments. At 26% shorter and 61% lighter than a standard bass guitar, the Ultra-Light bass guitar is your new go-to travel companion anywhere the music takes you. A few other features that make the Ultra-Light unique are its removable laprest, in-body tuning system, and short-scale neck.

Piezo pickup for big, full sound

Small body, huge sound: that’s the Ultra-Light bass from Traveler Guitar. Play acoustically or plug in via the onboard piezo pickup, which is excellent for studio work or jamming out of your favorite amplifier. This fully voiced under-saddle piezo pickup element translates the Ultra-Light Bass’s natural acoustic resonance into the sound of a full-sized instrument. You’ll be astonished at how good this pint-sized instrument sounds!
