Rich Low End from this Uke-sized Bass

Whether you're playing in a ukulele ensemble, or any acoustic-electric arrangement, you'll love the full, rich low end provided by the Lanikai FB-EBU Figured Bocote Bass acoustic-electric ukulele. Its 23.4-inch scale length maintains the familiar ukulele playability you're familiar with, but in a lower octave that pairs perfectly with soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone ukuleles. The neck is wider than traditional ukes, for a more comfortable bass playing experience. And the FB-EBU Figured Bocote Bass is equipped with a Fishman Clasica II preamp with built-in tuner for superior plugged-in tone. Whether you're recording your next song, or simply having fun around a campfire, Sweetwater is sure you'll be impressed with the Lanikai FB-EBU Figured Bocote Bass acoustic-electric ukulele.

The solution for an acoustic bass!

Man what a great little bass! Ive had acoustic basses before, however I found they were always so way too big. They dont travel well and they sound ok. I got a resonator bass which is slightly smaller and sounds excellent but it is somewhat fragile and still has to use a big acoustic bass case to travel with. I was looking for an acoustic bass I wouldnt mind beating up, getting sand from the beach on, smoke from a campfire, and also having the piezo acoustic sound for recording occasionally. Man this thing hits the mark! Its a perfect small size for my big hands, the smaller uke basses were just too small for me and I could never get used to the rubbery strings. I like how the body joins at the 15th fret to give you more access, but there is no cutaway which keeps the sound nice and full. It uses the D'addario strings with the nylon core and bronze wrap which gives it the feel of a classical guitar at times (on the high G string) but nice attack for the lower strings, awesome. The fishman preamp is great, you get a tuner and Bass/Treble controls instead of just a tone knob like some other uke basses. You also get a phase switch. The acoustic sound is deep and rich and the direct signal is great too. I like how they put grown up sized machine head tuners on this one as well. Comes with 2 strap buttons, which should be standard but sometimes they are not. Binding on the body and neck with the figured body woods looks great, what a killer deal. Great value in this bass. It came setup perfectly from Sweetwater, I can slap on it, I can play fingers, I can tap on it. It will stay in my collection for a long time.

Sweet little big bass

Don't let size fool you. This is a quality made Bass Uke. Great electronics with a built in tuner so it sounds sweet when plugged in. I used it in my duo and it sounded so nice and deep and super fun to play. Nice case with it as well. Great for proactice or live with a band or duo plugged in or unplugged and totally portable! Looks great too!

Love this little Bass

I love this bass. I use it in my office at work to practice at lunchtime. It has a beautiful sound. I also use it for when I travel, I don't fly, so that I have a bass with me. I recently used it for a Sunday morning acoustic set at church and it played beautifully! I love the length and prefer it over the smaller 20" Uke Basses. Well worth money, it has a superior quality!
