A unique model in the Alvarez "Artist" family
From the Alvarez "Artist" series, the AU60EBASS carries the brand's lutherie standards into a portable bass instrument. Its solid top, "Single Cross Brace" bracing, and understated finishes make it a serious choice for intimate acoustic sessions as well as studio recording. It serves as a natural bridge between the ukulele and bass worlds, offering an organic low register in an easy-to-carry size.
For which musicians and styles?
Designed for intermediate to advanced bassists and multi-instrumentalists seeking a compact acoustic bass for rehearsals, unplugged formats, and creative arrangements. Its warm character fits particularly well with folk, acoustic pop, intimate jazz, and world music. Advanced ukulele players will also find it an excellent entry point into the low register without sacrificing playing comfort.
Sound
The solid A+ Sitka spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and dynamics, while the African mahogany back and sides enhance warmth, with rounded mids and well-defined lows. The "Single Cross Brace" bracing promotes a quick response and remarkable coherence despite the small body, resulting in surprising projection for a bass ukulele. The Techwood bridge, paired with a genuine bone saddle, optimizes energy transfer and supports sustain. Equipped with Aquila 140U strings, the AU60EBASS produces a mellow low end, very much in the spirit of a double bass. When plugged in, the AUE 20 EQ preamp with integrated tuner preserves this natural character in amplification, offering effective control in live situations.
Recommended compatible accessories
To stay true to the original specifications, a set of Aquila 140U strings is recommended as replacement (specific to bass ukulele). For amplification, plan for a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable. The preamp/tuner operates with two CR2032 batteries: having spares on hand avoids any unpleasant surprises. For transport, choose a bass ukulele gig bag compatible with the total length of 28.9" / 735 mm.
