Love babicz bridge, a bit of a pain to install because you have to undo the saddle but so easy to adjust, especially on the fly.
Another notable bridge is the Fender Elite bridge. Made in Germany and super easy to adjust and intonation is a breeze.

Thank you. This bass feels good to me.

My guess is they saw people paying for non-export models in this price range so decided to feed the need via Fender USA Vs Fender Japan.

This is my very first post as I just started B2B about a week ago! My first bass is a Squier Bronco gifted to me by my best friend when I decided to get serious about learning to play. About three months ago I got my “big girl bass,” a Nordstrand Audio Acinonyx. I love it so much!! And because I apparently can’t stop buying gear, I picked up a Ubass three weeks ago. I travel a lot for work and the portability is intriguing.

The U Bass is a lot of fun - I definitely recommend it. I leave it out and find myself picking it up several times a day. The fat rubber strings take some getting used to, though.

Just an FYI @mikeyjayjay you can buy U Basses with metal strings. Mine came with rounds but I put on flats. Great fun and surprisingly good sound for such a tiny bass. The sound in the video is obviously through the amp. Acoustically it’s very quiet.

Loving that bassline @Barney
Thanks for sharing the comparison video and the information regards string options
Dare I say, it looks like you were having more fun on the U Bass…
