SOLD. !!! Ibanez electric upright bass UB804 Price reduced to £599. £699 Scotland

[Lakland5]

I bought this just before lockdown and it has been gathering dust ever since. To my ears, it sounds very good with the pick ups in each string saddle giving lots of sustain. It’s very “easy” to play in that it’s a 34 scale 

lighter than the NS and better hardware - the stand is Tama and really solid 

it’s virtually new and comes with its carry case 

can’t see these in stock anywhere and new prices appear to be in the 850-900 range

it’s currently strung left handed but it’s never been used and very easy to change back 

thanks for looking 

Price  £599

Never tried a short scale bass. What's the arco tone like? What strings does it take? Looks cool.

These just look so odd 'n cool... but wouldn't know where to start...

Hi 

From my point of view, it was a very comfortable instrument to play. All tone is subjective and there are some poor demos on the internet however  for me, both arco and pizz were very good. 
For my gigs, ( remember them ?) it was bought as a back up for my NS  however the sound/ sustain was  way better for what I needed it to do and had lock down not interrupted everything, it would have probably been the bass doing the gig 

that is not to say it’s better than the NS nor is it a replacement for a DB  but for what it is, at the price point it has, it is a useful alternative to have 

The purchase of a new Yamaha silent bass  means I can now sell this on with the NS already sold 

For the money, it’s a great piece of kit. 
best regards.
