Upton Bass String Instrument Company

Really fantastic big string sound in the VSL instrument family.

A real gem, realistic bass instrument. Love it!

Dust cover, stretchy material, pull string to tighten around instrument base. Plenty of slack to fit just about any keyboard 49-61 keys.

Ideal if you play bass or guitar and sing. It gives you space from your instrument.

This lens pouch is well made. I love the material and the way the draw string is set up with only one draw string. I have another lens pouch made by another well known camera company and it has one on each side which is a bit more difficult to maneuver. I have not yet used the clip, but I like the option and think it will come in handy.

Instrument separation, perfect size, portability. Great for my dorm. Excellent bass (unless u do not care about musicality and just want insane bass).

This is perfect for my needs. I use it for Bluetoothing both downloaded music and vinyl. The bass is really punchy and each individual instrument is really clear. Aesthetically, it’s pretty and retro-looking and sits discreetly in my music area.

I use this as the instrument cable for my bass guitar and it really lets the natural tone of my bass shine through. The signal comes out very clear and without any buzz or hum of any kind. The cable itself is very sturdy as well. Only possible gripe on my part about this is that the metal connector on the gold plug tends to twist loose by itself once in a while but it's no big deal. The cable itself is amazing. And the lifetime warranty is a sweet deal as well!

At the time I purchased this bass it was on sale at the price of $199 for the Champagne Gold finish. Although I was not familiar with this specific model line of Ibanez basses, for the price it seemed worth a try. I had played other more expensive Ibanez basses and found them to be made with quality woods and parts. They played well too. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality of this bass. I had thought I might be getting less for the lower price. Even if it had been purchased at the full MSRP of the instrument, I would not have felt slighted. The build quality is excellent. After setting it up with a new set of DR strings it plays extremely well. The tuners and hardware are high quality. The tones I have been able to get out of it with the onboard active electronics alone is pretty staggering for a single instrument - without using any outboard effects. It seems like a bought 7 basses for the price of one. I've been playing it through a DI interface and Apple's Mainstage software for effects and the possibilities seem endless. Truly a surprise for such an inexpensive instrument. Well worth a try. Great for experienced players or beginners.

This type of case offers the best of both a hard case and a soft bag. It conforms snuggly to the shape of a Kala Baritone Uke or a U--Bass. It provides almost all of the protection of a hard case, but weighs very little more than a bag. It also has a rear-mounted strap for carrying it over your shoulder. There is a small, covered, internal accessory box under the instruments neck location, and a generous zippered accessory pouch on the front of the case. This case will provide excellent protection for an instrument as long as isn't crushed by a considerable weight. Scrapes, scratches, hard bumps, and even drops from shoulder height will do no damage to the instrument inside, and no functional damage to the case itself. Have no doubts, this is real protection for you Kala Baritone or U--Bass.
