"Awesome tone!"

This little beauty has awesome tone! It really can put out the low bass frequencies and is really fun to play. It's very easy on the hands, and the fretless wasn't hard to get used to at all! Awesome! My only complaint is that the 2 batteries that came in it were too weak to make it work!! If the batteries are low, the tuner might not work either but it might still be able to make sound through the amp.
Musical Background:
bass for 10 year or so, bass guitar, double bass and now u-bass!
Musical Style:
folk, very eclectic
