The pickup helps to balance the output levels so youll always have a smooth dynamic level and a full sound. The minimal body and through-neck design comes with a TAMA stand so you can easily get set-up on stage with a small foot-print - ideal for cramped performance areas. A mono-rail MR4 bridge gives optimal string stability and isolation while the maple body with maple/walnut neck helps to give the natural wood characteristics of an upright bass.

If youre a player who wants access to authentic double bass tones but in a more portable package the UB804 is the perfect solution.
