Acoustic and Semi-Acoustic Basses

The acoustic bass is an instrument that in shape and type closely resembles an acoustic guitar. Indeed, its body, the soundbox, and colors are very similar, what changes are the dimensions due to the longer neck.

This instrument is often used in unplugged performances be it pop or even rock, or in ensembles of folk or popular music. What characterizes them most is their softer sound and the typical timbre due to the resonance box.

They are generally equipped with a pickup and a jack input for connection to amplification, often they also have a preamplifier with some controls such as volume, tone adjustment, and built-in tuner.

If you are looking for something special in this section, you can find the Eko Ukubass Duo Fretless, a bass with the dimensions of an ukulele but with the same tuning as a bass and nylon strings that allow it to be played at the same octave as the bass. Moreover, the fretless neck with fret markers allows beginners and others to correctly intonate the notes.
