The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Unique low B string tuning system designed for compact scale without sacrificing depth; proprietary friction tuners ensure stability; solid body construction emphasizes punchy attack and sustain; passive circuitry eliminates battery concerns; aesthetic combines retro paisley graphics with modern hardware.
Strap essential for standing play given body weight distribution. Standard bass amp recommended for volume projection. Case or gig bag strongly suggested for travel. Spare strings worth keeping on hand given specialized string gauge.
The U•BASS delivers genuine sonic character and road-ready reliability in a smaller footprint. Its distinctive voice—equally at home in pop, funk, or alternative contexts—rewards exploration. The Paisley finish ensures it won't disappear into a crowded stage.

Solid Body 4-String Paisley Orange Burst Fretted U•BASS®
For the musician who wants their gear to look as loud as their performance, the Paisley Orange Burst U•BASS® fuses a vibrant vintage-inspired graphic with a modern passive electronics designed for any stage. The solid okoume body and maple neck and fretboard (a first for the solid body U•BASS®) pair up for a clear attack and generous sustain, powered by a magnetic split-coil pickup that handles everything from smooth jazz to heavy rock. It is the go-to tool for performers who want to inject some personality into their portable setup without sacrificing professional tone.
