Anyone here tried them, have a strong opinion about them maybe? Did you keep yours or sell it off?

I'm mostly curious about other people's experience with the long term quality.

I already have a ibanez mikro bass I've been learning on for a few months, and I plan to put flatwounds on it in. I'm looking at getting a second cheap af bass just to have one for different style songs. I'm considering picking up one (bass version) off fb marketplace.

You want a cool travel bass? Check out a u-bass. I got one for my kid, and now I want one so badly.

It has thick rubber strings for that thumpy, almost upright sound.

I tried the rubber strings at a store once, yeeears ago, looking for a cheap bass to get my bf. They sounded amazing, but felt too weird for me. Knowing how sensitive he is, I bet he would've said they're too gooey, lol. I got him a cordoba acoustic bass instead

I set up mine with steel strings for more acoustic volume and tone. They still have a bit of that wobbly flab feeling but it's much nicer.
