Solid UkeBass Spalted Maple : Do not hesitate -- Just buy it!

I can't believe I waited so long to buy this. What wasted time! This is a FABULOUS ukulele bass. I got it because I play Ubass in a little folk band and we've gotten a couple of gigs. I've been playing a second-hand Kala Ubass that I bought used. I decided that I needed a 'backup' instrument in case something happened to my regular Kala at a gig. This was so reasonably priced that it seemed like a great choice for my 'backup' plus I've always loved the look of the spalted maple. Well, it arrived and I've been playing it NONSTOP, and this is definitely NOT going to be the BACKUP, this is going to be the main act! It's a beautiful, well-made instrument. I love the integrated tuner that mutes your amp when you are tuning. It's a very accurate tuner too. I love that it has a little built in EQ. I love the Aquila strings - so easy to play. They feel slightly different than my Road Toad strings that are on the Kala - less sticky. It is a BREEZE to play. The action is comfortable. The neck is a perfect width. The instrument is easy to transport and light to carry. I literally cannot say enough good things about this little ukulele bass. If you are: a bass player, a ukulele player, someone who wants to play either of those... this is for you. I cannot recommend this enough. Sounds GREAT! BIG tone. Perfect intonation... even all the way up the neck. I am extremely happy. Thank you!!!
