DISC Luna Bari-Bass Tattoo Electro Ukulele, Satin Natural Mahogany

Full Description

Amazing richness of tone

Terrific treble and incredible warmth. The Luna Bari-Bass Tattoo's body is built entirely from solid mahogany, giving fantastic warmth of tone. The mahogany offers plenty of volume, with a strong balance between the high-end and low-end. This allows the Luna Bari-Bass to retain an authentic ukulele tone, meaning everything you play will sound entirely natural. The body also delivers a focused, punchy mid-range with thick, well-defined tones. A ukulele that sings sweet, sparkling highs with unparalleled warmth.

The most playable neck and fingerboard combination

Resonance and durability. The Luna Bari-Bass has the perfect, long-lasting neck to make every note you play sing brightly. Mahogany is the go-to tonewood for ukulele necks, as the material is extremely responsive to any playing style. This means you'll be able to strum, slide, and finger pick with ease. Furthermore, mahogany's structural integrity makes it a long-lasting, hard-wearing wood to ensure your instrument's life is as long as possible.

The neck is topped with a walnut fingerboard to deliver a bright, warm tone, and sparkly sound that really shines through when using finger picking techniques. The walnut also offers a smooth and energetic playing experience, allowing you to play at high speeds with comfort and simplicity. The perfect wood combination to give you the optimum playing experience.

Superb baritone depth

Brilliant bass-uke tone and a comfortable playing experience. The Bari-Bass Tattoo's baritone size body makes it the biggest member of the ukulele family, and due to its larger size offers much deeper, low-end tones than other smaller ukuleles. The style is particularly popular in jazz music. Many great jazz players favour the baritone size because of its big frets, allowing players to comfortably squeeze chords up the neck and achieve authentic jazz-bass tone. Baritone tuning is usually G-C-E-A, and is exclusively strung with a low top string. The Bari-Bass is ideal for those bass/guitar players wanting a more compact instrument.

Top quality system for live performance

The ideal gigging companion. Enjoy high-fidelity sound and flawless tune. The Bari-Bass Tattoo comes equipped with an on-board Fishman Clasica II preamp and tuning system, helping you play with added volume, crystal sound quality, and in perfect key. The Clasica was optimised specifically for nylon string instruments, offering a range of features in a compact design.

The system comes with a pre-wired Sonicore pickup, which allows you to ramp up your volume while maintaining perfect sound clarity, and eliminating unwanted interference. The sophisticated system offers quick and easy tuning via its LED easy-read screen. Features include bass, treble, phase, and volume controls. The complete on-stage ukulele.

Magnificent, natural style

Stunning, nature-inspired aesthetic. The Luna Bari-Bass Tattoo is a well-crafted, beautifully designed ukulele showcasing Luna's fantastic ability to create gorgeous, striking instruments. The mahogany top features a laser etched tattoo design, which is based on the waves from the ocean, and shark tooth soundhole rosette which embodies Luna's love for nature. The headstock has Luna's signature crescent moon brand logo which mightily stands out against the mahogany back drop, finished with black open gear machine heads. A shimmering, ocean-inspired instrument that looks as though it's come straight from the Pacific islands.

The Luna story

Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars.

Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman-specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. Yvonne moved on to create Luna guitars, an instrument line made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent.

Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour thanks to her award winning stained glass work. She then applied these techniques to her new line of instruments. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement, providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver.

Villiers' design expertise soon led to Luna expanding its product base to include a whole new range of stringed instruments, especially ukuleles. The science behind the crafting of top-calibre guitars worked perfectly in making ukuleles with magnificent sound. Not to mention that they looked stunning. Luna's quality has led to many men adopting their instruments as favourites. The company is now an industry leader, and creates instruments for both female and male musicians of all ages.
