This Full-scale Bass Takes Up Less Space!

Traveler Guitar's Ultra-Light Bass gives you full-sized acoustic bass guitar sound and feel to go. Easily Traveler Guitar's lightest and most compact bass guitar model to date, the Ultra-Light Bass takes its cues from the rest of the Ultra-Light lineup, offering you both stripped-down portability and comfortable full-scale feel. In fact, despite its compact size, the Ultra-Light Bass still gives you the full 30" scale length you need to play normally. And when you get to hear the massive sound of the onboard piezo pickup system, you'll discover that the frame is the only small thing about the Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Bass.

This axe was made for bass players on the go

When you pick up an Ultra-Light Bass, your search for the ultimate portable acoustic-style bass guitar is officially over. Your Ultra-Light Bass can easily fit in your luggage, backpack, or the overhead rack on the plane. What's more, it comes with its own custom, low-profile gig bag! And since there's no folding, fussing, or frustrating assembly required, you'll reach your destination ready to rock.

Ditch the bulk, keep the scale length

The Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Bass gives you something that virtually no other travel-friendly bass can promise: real full-scale feel. That's because the Ultra-Light Bass's unique design loses the access bulk of a traditional bass, without cutting down the scale length. That's how Traveler Guitar managed to fit a 30"-scale bass in an instrument that's only 33-3/4" long. And you don't even need to buy special strings!

Piezo pickup system delivers huge acoustic bass sound

Here's probably the hardest thing to wrap your head around about the super-portable Ultra-Light Bass — it sounds huge! That's because Traveler Guitar decided to outfit their Ultra-Light Bass with an impressive electronics system. This system includes a highly sensitive under-saddle piezo pickup element, which translates the Ultra-Light Bass's natural acoustic resonance into the sound of a full-sized instrument. You won't believe how great this pint-sized bass sounds!

Traveler Guitar Ultra-Light Bass Features:

  • Full-sized bass sound and feel that you can take anywhere
  • Traveler Guitar's lightest (3 lbs.) and most compact (30" x 5-1/2" x 2") bass guitar ever
  • Unique folded string design gives you full 30"-scale bass — no special strings needed!
  • Compact frame packs small enough to travel anywhere
  • A fantastic bass for playing on smaller stages
  • 1-piece Eastern American hard maple body and neck provide enhanced acoustic resonance
  • Undersaddle piezo electronics system captures full-scale acoustic bass guitar sound
  • Detachable lap rest, thumb rest, and custom gig bag included

Rated 4/5

Perfect for Practice on the road

Pros: Perfect for Practice on the road, fits in overhead plane carry-on luggage bin, perfect for unplugged practice during lunch hour at work, fits under the desk.
Has doubled my practice time, in my busy, hectic schedule.
Works with Xvive Audio U2 Digital Wireless Guitar System, and headphones, for late night practice in hotel.
Bonus: recently had a severe operation, now under severe weight lifting restriction, which rules out lifting/playing my monster Fender Jazz 5 String. Still practicing, in bed, with a ton of time on my hand, with this light little bass!

Cons: NOT for Performance, unless you have a very good EQ system. Lots of tin and scratch, and very little boom.
Upside??? It will force you to practise a lot better finger placement, and string damping techniques.

Note: pickups on this thing are VERY hot. You'll want to turn you preAmp gain WAY down, if you plug into a regular amp.
Music background: Blues Bassist
