Get to know them!

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!

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
