If you haven't tried a Uke bass yet, all you really need to know is that they're hilariously fun to play. Chunky strings, great tone, fun to put through an amplifier. These are also the perfect size to take anywhere, or just leave around the house for spontaneous practice. A great "toy" that also happens to be a seriously capable instrument in its own right. Plus at this price it's hard to argue against. I own a lot of different basses, few have brought me as much joy as this thing.
