Tuned like a standard bass and to the same pitch, the Oscar Schmidt Ukulele Bass sounds strikingly like an upright bass. With mahogany top, back, and sides, the OUB200 is part of Oscar's Comfort Series. This series is characterized by the rosewood comfort rest on the lower bout that offers an additional level of comfort for your forearm and a rosewood partial cutaway for accessing the upper frets. The integrated electronics make the OUB200 a great performance instrument.
