Beyond its striking appearance, this Pacific walnut U•BASS® delivers exceptional acoustic performance characterized by a well-defined low end that provides the punchy, articulate bass response that has made the U•BASS® format famous among touring musicians and studio professionals. The walnut construction contributes warm, rich tones with excellent note definition and sustain, while the mahogany neck adds structural stability and additional tonal warmth to the overall voice. Premium appointments include elegant black binding that beautifully frames the walnut grain patterns, a smooth rosewood fingerboard and bridge that enhance both playability and tonal character, and professional Graph Tech Black TUSQ® RW nut and TUSQ® saddle for optimal string performance. This model comes equipped with high-quality Kala Round Wound Strings by LaBella that provide the familiar feel and response of traditional bass guitar strings, making the transition to U•BASS® seamless for electric bass players.
