Musical maple and black walnut
Bright, snappy, and containing excellent response, maple is the choice tonewood for this pint-sized bass. An excellent selection for its stability, durability and superb resonance, maple delivers a clear sound and sturdy platform for the body. A dense and solid wood, it imbues excellent sustain and bite into stringed instruments. While it has crisp pronouncement of the mid and upper registers, it also articulates lower frequencies with clarity, making it an excellent match for the Ultra-Light acoustic-electric bass.
Paired with a black walnut fingerboard, the two woods combine for excellent dark sonics with plenty of depth. Smooth and slick to play, the black walnut is dark in both tone and colour, providing a striking contrast to the maple body.
Shorter scale length
Saving up to 25 of the space of a full-size bass, the Ultra-Light boasts easy playability for any musician, particularly those with smaller hands. And while it may be shorter, it still offers the full spectrum of enjoyable, scintillating slap and funk you'd find on a full scale bass.
Acoustic-Electric tones
Using the marvellous maple body, the Ultra-Light generates a ringing acoustic chime. Good news for a travelling tunesmith, because with this bass it's a case of no amp, no problem. Play at any time and enjoy the surprising projection that the light maple body offers.
Take your sounds to gigs and pump up the volume thanks to the included passive electronics and under saddle piezo pickup. Presenting extremely accurate tonal reproduction, the Ultra-Light is even more capable once you plug it in. Out in the wilds or up on the big stage, this portable piece will always deliver your best tunes.
Gig bag included
It's in the name. Traveler assume that you will be, well, travelling with the Ultra-Light. And at no extra cost, they include their custom gig bag that's sure to keep the uniquely shaped Ultra-Light in pristine condition. Featuring a large zip pocket that can carry your cables and assorted bass accessories, and being designed to provide a snug fit for your instrument, you'll always be ready to perform. Small enough to fit in overhead luggage spaces and easy to carry, the gig bag completes this compact, convenient bass.
