The Ibanez UB was developed to make it particularly easy to switch from an electric bass to an upright instrument. With its 34" scale length, tapered fingerboard radius for effortless bowing and fast plucking, and compact maple body, it combines high playability with a striking appearance. Despite its slim design, it delivers a surprisingly robust, natural acoustic sound and is much easier to transport than conventional upright basses. The UB is the result of the innovative power of the Ibanez Bass Workshop series, which has been exploring new sonic avenues for over 40 years and developing instruments that are specifically tailored to the diverse needs of modern bassists. Key features include a 5-piece maple/walnut neck, a jatoba fingerboard with a crystal-clear midrange and treble profile, and a maple body for bright, transparent fundamentals. The integrated AeroSilk piezo pickup and specially tuned piezo active tone control create the characteristic “airy” upright feel. The AeroSilk MR5 bridge with specially developed piezo saddles provides optimal support for both pizzicato and arco playing styles. The scope of delivery includes a padded gig bag with space for the bass, bow, and stand, as well as a TAMA Roadpro upright stand that is perfectly matched to the instrument.

IBANEZ Bass Workshop Upright Bass 4-String - Mahagony Oil Burst + Gig Bag & Roadpro Stand
The UB's design (34” scale length) allows for a smooth transition from bass guitar to this particular upright. Its conical compound fingerboard radius perfectly facilitates smooth bowing and fast plucking. The compact Maple body was designed to balance form and function, resulting in a bass that provides outstanding visuals and incredible playability. Despite its compact body, the UB does not sacrifice acoustic tone, projecting a robust, natural sound. The smaller body also allows for quick and easy transport.
For more than 40 years, Ibanez has pioneered new frontiers in bass development, pushing the boundaries of conventional designs to bass players of all styles, affording new avenues of expression and creativity. This spirit of exploration has led to the creation of some of the most successful and popular production basses of all time. Following this same drive to bring new and relevant ideas to the musical forefront is what serves as the basis for this ongoing project, dubbed the Ibanez Bass Workshop. The impetus behind each one of these unique instruments comes from a desire by the Ibanez bass development team to satisfy the particular needs of many players. These inventions may not be for everyone, but for those who yearn to explore new sonic vistas through the medium of bass, the Ibanez Bass Workshop project may give you just what you're looking for.
