I discovered this by accident on YT, and am amazed at the “bang for the buck” that you get. (Check out the videos on it). A shoulder injury forced the sale of my American Pro II J Bass, and I then downsized to a Mustang (still expensive). But after getting this Mini the other day, I could be happy just with it. The tone, the size & weight, the relative quality and the PRICE (around $200), make this a “no brainer” IMO. If you’re not a gigging Pro, you won’t be sorry.

The minis are adorable little instruments.

there’s been a small number of bands (lesser known for sure) where the bass player’s primary is a solid body uke, you see it occasionally with kala solid’s. i don’t think you can go wrong with either the new kala solid or something like this, i haven’t played one but heard they are good. the sheer amount of rumble that comes out of my ubass always shocks people (i was getting it worked on in a guitar store once, and plugged it into an amp and a guy that worked there who was about 15 feet away’s head shot up and he said “you’re getting all that sound from THAT?”

They’ve got it on sale for $120 USD up here. I might buy it because it’s Sea Foam Green 
I mean I’m not, but it’s a great price.

You’re going to love it! I mostly play shorties, but the 32” G string and the fanned frets and staggered bridge make the first fret on the other strings easily reachable. My Chihuahua Peanut has no idea what he’s lying down next to.

I have a Blackstar travel bass (the carryon blahblahblah-ish one). Very smol. Very cute and actually plays good and is even more robust (I use it while traveling).
Only downside: THICK strings (the ones to play DROP C or A#). Still worth it!

The .125 E string is the secret weapon of the Blackstar.
Last week a girl played it to some hardcore rap stuff (in Drop D), and she was like “Wooooooow”
It will be used on a gig now, so don’t underestimate the Dark Side of the Force of this E string

I tried a Squier Mini Precision Bass a couple of weeks ago at my local Guitar Center. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the feel and sound of this bass. It actually felt better than other P-Basses I tried including a Squier Sonic Precision and even the Fender American Professional II Precision Bass.
I liked it better than some of the short scale basses I tried including an Epiphone Les Paul Bass, Flight Mini, and an Ibanez miKro.
However, I didn’t like it as much as my Fender Player Mustang or the Gretsch G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet II Bass that I bought.
Still, I would recommend trying a Mini Precision Bass. You might like it even more than expected.

I’m keeping my Fender American Mustang as well, to play after my shoulder surgery. Right now, I can’t even lift my arm to tune it. Cheers
Have been able to find a gig bad for it? I’ve been looking without any luck.
I found an old gig bag in my closet that just happens to fit. I didn’t see any online.
it’s a standard sized uke bass, any bag for a solid body one would fit i would think. like one for kala.
I have the same setup as i am a 68 year old learning a new “trick”. lol.
I also just had reverse total shoulder replacement and back in the saddle again !!!
Cheers !

This is my primary bass, it’s in Dakota Red. I tried upgrading to a Mustang PJ but it was a dud. Around black friday time I might get the squier mustang.
What you liked is a “dubet series bass” 99.99999% sure that’s not a mini 28.6”
