A very fun instrument
I bought this bass, primarily to bring it to school, since I did not feel like bringing an actual fully sized bass.
It is perfect for that purpose. Is it a high quality, and great instrument?
Absolutely not. But for what you pay, you get a really nice instrument.
Very easy to carry around, works for practicing when you don't wanna bring your full sized bass, and if you are able to set the controls right, it also has a good sound.
It takes some getting used to. The rubber strings are really odd, but I find them fun. The controls are quite hard to figure out (though it might not be for everyone). I would say that you also need to get used to the pickup. Unlike electric basses, this one detects vibrations, and is located in the bridge. So if you even slightly rub your finger on the pickup, it will make static (if the bass is plugged in). But if you can get used to playing it, and you can make it so that the tone is clean when plugged in, then I love it. I would suggest if you are looking for something silent and easy to carry in public, to work, to school, etc. Then 100% get it!
I would not use it live, however I don't know when i would used a ukulele bass live in general.
I like it, and I enjoy playing it.

Very disappointed
I bought this awesome looking ukulele bass as soon as it popped up on Thomann. I have wanted a solid u-bass for a long time, but there are not a lot of other options, and the ones I could find costs 4-5 times as much.
It's build pretty solid and the materials used are decent. But one of the bolts holding the neck is screwed in at a weird angle and some of the paint on the screw itself has come off. Looks like someone has forced it in even though it didn't quite fit. Also one of the tuners was loose on the headstock.
The biggest problem for me however is that when setting the volume to 100% and turning the bass on the EQ up past 10% there is heavy distortion. I have tried different amps and preamps with headphones and different cables. All of which works fine with other basses. If the vol is turned down I can maybe turn the bass knob up to 20% before distorting. This makes the u-bass pretty unusable unless you are okay with the fairly thin and mid tone heavy sound you get with the bass turned down.
I'm sad to say that this u-bass is going back.
