## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a clip on tuner that works best with this?**
A: I never found one that I could really clip on.  I  have had to use a plug-in tuner.

**Q: What are best strings for this bass?**
A: If you like a bright sound, it already comes with D'Addario EXL165 Nickel Wound Bass Strings. I found it too bright with far too much buzzing and string noise without a lot of EQ and noise filtering. I switched them out to Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Long Scale Flat Wound strings, and I am much happier with the sound.

**Q: Is it true that this will fit in the overhead bin on an airplane? The description says yes, however it's longer than what the airline says. Thanks!**
A: Yes it fits very easily in the overhead. I've travelled many times with it. Great little bass, but the tone coming out of it is not the best. Still great to have an instrument to keep my chops up on the road.

**Q: Can I put flatwound strings on my traveler bass?**
A: Yes, I put on Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Long Scale Flat Wound strings and they fit perfectly.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this thing!
*by S***N on January 18, 2025*

I bought it specifically to practice for a gig when i went on vacation. Super compact, and sounds great, especially with an in ear pocket amp. Didn’t have to wake up the house. But it has been my go to bass more than any other when I need to learn a new song. I hang it on a wall hook by the bed and can practice as long or short as i need, as it’s quite comfortable to play. Then it stores easily outta the way. I even used it for an acoustic show and it sounded great. Best value for my usage I’ve ever had.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, light, good build quality, sounds great
*by D***N on March 21, 2025*

I love this thing. I am learning to play and my space is a little cramped. Plus I am clumsy and bump things a lot. This thing is really small and light. It sounds great. No issues. I am more inclined to practice keeping it next to my PC as it takes very little space.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Air Travel
*by R***O on August 12, 2021*

I took a chance on this guitar for practice on my business trips. With a Vox mini-amp, I found the piezo pickup too bright, picking up a lot of string noise and having to turn the tone all the way down to zero on the amp for my ears. Changing the round wound strings to Thomastik-Infeld JF344 Long Scale Flat Wound strings made a significant difference in reducing string noise, as well as more flexibility with the tone control on the amp. I am able to get an acceptable bright tone at 5, with room to turn it down for an even softer sound. Intonation was a little sharp at first, but after more playing time, it seems to have settled in to near perfect. It also developed more consistency in holding the tuning from day to day.The weight balance was a little tricky at first, but I managed to find the sweet spot for seated play with no neck dive in the traditional playing position. At this size, I find that it travels well in the overhead compartments on commercial airlines, fitting in the space above the carry luggage on a full flight with an Airbus A320. The guitar bag does it’s job for carrying around the airport, with the accessory pouch also holding a set of earbuds, the Vox mini-amp, and a small bluetooth receiver for playing along with music from my phone.On the last leg of a trip, the output stopped working. I noticed that the output jack was loose and rotated in place. Upon arriving at home and removing the access panel to the jack, one of the wire leads to the piezo appeared to have broken off the lead to the jack. A simple re-soldering fixed the problem, along with a little tightening of the nut with a pair of needle nose pliers.Overall, I think it’s great for air travel when you want to travel as light as possible and still keep practicing.
