The UB804-MOB is a really solid option for gigging bassists wanting a compact, amplified double bass. The piezo pickups capture a surprisingly warm and articulate tone, and the neck-through design makes it a joy to play. It’s a great entry point into the world of amplified double bass without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Piezo pickups offer a more natural, acoustic-like tone, but can be more susceptible to string noise. Magnetic pickups are generally warmer and offer more sustain.
The 42 mm nut width is fairly standard for a double bass, but some players with very large hands might find it slightly narrower than preferred.
While it offers tonal shaping, the active EQ is subtle and designed to enhance the natural tone rather than drastically change it.
