In general I like the bass. What I don’t care for is that you have a to be in a perfect spot on the fret or it rattles. The rubber strings stretch a lot. You also can’t slide finger on the bass because of the rubber strings and it rattles as you slide.
I bought this UBass to use with a ukulele group I work with and they all want a chance to play on the instrument and experience the uniqueness of this, compared to other ukuleles. Leading up to the arrival of the instrument I had been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and playing my normal ukuleles was painful. The UBass, even though I was scheduled for the surgery made playing music approachable for a day or two again.
It is a perfect addition to a group and a very approachable instrument for anyone!
I have had my Ubass for just over a year now, and every time I play it, it's just a delight. Beautiful tone, great intonation, easy to play, and it a beautiful instrument. People always ask about it. And of course, so light weight and easy to carry around. I'm so happy I got it!
