Ortega Guitars Bamboo Series Solid-Body Ukulele Bass - Natural (RUNAB-UB) — Sustainable Acoustic-Electric Thump
Earthy, innovative, and remarkably resonant. The Ortega Guitars Bamboo Series Ukulele Bass (RUNAB-UB) is crafted almost entirely from solid, fast-growing bamboo. Combining an eco-conscious build with a serious double-bass character, this striking uke-bass features a natural satin finish that accentuates the multi-layered, straight grain of the bamboo. Outfitted with a vintage-style f-hole, clean black binding, and a built-in preamplifier, it is the ultimate compact instrument for unplugged living room jams, recording studios, or large plugged-in stage performances.
Key Features
- 100% Solid Bamboo Construction: Crafted with a solid bamboo top, back, sides, and neck, providing a warm, woody tone and a uniquely beautiful, sustainable aesthetic.
- Deep, Double-Bass Sound: Engineered with a compact 20.86" (530 mm) scale length that, when paired with specialized uke-bass strings, yields an incredibly rich, thumping low-end reminiscent of an upright bass.

- Sleek Matte Black Hardware: Features smooth, black die-cast tuning machines and deep black ABS bindings on the body, f-hole, and fingerboard that pop beautifully against the light natural wood grain.
- Includes Deluxe Gig Bag: Comes complete with a heavy-duty, thickly padded Ortega Deluxe gig bag featuring accessory pockets and shoulder straps for easy travel.
