It’s a challenge and a joy! Fretless and 5-string is different than most basses you’ve played. I still reach for it everyday to just noodle about. I also purchased the flat wound strings which I will use in a year or so from now. If you have any doubt, just buy one of these beautiful U-Basses!
- LGLarry G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8 months agoReally cool little bass!
Actually the one I ordered and bought was a fretted five string. That was a couple weeks ago. I have turned it up and played it for maybe a total of half an hour and I am thrilled with the touch and the tone, but the intonation is a little off, so I’ve taken it to a friend of mine who is much more experienced, not to mention bolder than I am when it comes to tweaking truss rods and such. He said he’d have it in perfect shape in a couple days. I’m really looking forward to getting comfortable with it. An amazing bargain. As a matter of fact after I am ready to take it to a gig I May go ahead and order a fretless, as well.
Highly recommended.
