The new Harley Benton Solid Uke Natural and the U-Bass SB have several features in common. Both have an okoumé body as well as a fretboard and bridge made of Purpleheart (Amaranth). The amplification is courtesy an integrated pickup system. Other features include a GraphTech saddle and die-casting mechanics.

U-bass Mahogany & U-Bass Spalted Maple

There are also two “regular” bass ukes with acoustic bodies. The models U-bass Spalted and U-bass Mahoganty also have a number of features in common. Both models have a walnut fretboard with 20 medium frets, a mahogany neck and a walnut bridge.

The main differences lie in the body wood, and the reference is already in the names given to each model. The mahogany version has a cream-white binding, while the spalted mpale body has a black binding.
