There's a reason you see these all over the place
If you're not a bassist but need a bass now & then - this is perfect for you. If you're a bassist this is also perfect for you to have in your tool kit.
At first the strings, very rubbery, are a little weird - but once you get the hang of them (less than a day) you'll realize the genius of this choice.
It sounds great. The onboard pickup works really well and the tuner/EQ are excellent. You can play it on your couch and lowkey annoy people just trying to watch TV.
The only "con" is that the soundboard of the bass gets picked up by the pickup very easily. You'll get various taps, scratches, and swish noises until you change your hand position. However, with a little thought, you can actually incorporate that into you overall sound.
Good sound, very portable, and stunning
This obviously needs amplification, but wow does it deliver for it's size! We picked this up because our festival band is playing mostly instrumental tunes this year due to COVID, and we wanted to enhance our sound. Since this arrived, another band member ordered one. It's fun, effective and compact. Highly recommend.
Great little UBass
Love this ubass. It has great sound. I got a lot of comments about how good the sound was. It plays very nicely as well. The high/thinnest string seems to be a bit slick and came unstrung at one point, but strung it back up and it has been fine. The connection on the low string to the under saddle pickup was a little weak so the low string did not amplify as much as the rest of the strings, but works fine after loosening the strings and adjusting a bit.
