Ibanez UB804 Upright Bass Mahogany Oil BurstThe UB804 is Ibanez's answer to a question many electric bassists have asked: how do I get upright bass tone without spending years learning a completely different instrument? The compact maple wing body and familiar 34 inch scale length mean you can transition from electric bass with minimal adjustment, while the fretless jatoba fingerboard gives you that expressive, singing upright voice with natural mwah and sustain.

The UB804 is Ibanez's answer to a question many electric bassists have asked: how do I get upright bass tone without spending years learning a completely different instrument? The compact maple wing body and familiar 34-inch scale length mean you can transition from electric bass with minimal adjustment, while the fretless jatoba fingerboard gives you that expressive, singing upright voice with natural mwah and sustain.

The piezo pickup system captures the acoustic character of the instrument faithfully, and the endpin lets you play in upright position for an authentic feel. The Mahogany Oil Burst finish on the maple body looks handsome and organic. This is a genuinely practical instrument for jazz gigs, theater pit orchestras, folk ensembles, or any situation where upright bass tone is called for but a full-size double bass is not realistic. A clever design that bridges two worlds effectively.
