The APC UKU Bass TMX bass ukulele is an instrument that defies expectations and opens up new sonic possibilities. Created to offer the depth of an electric bass in a compact and surprising format, this model is ideal for those looking to bring bass into the world of ukuleles without sacrificing comfort or identity. Upon picking it up, they immediately realize this is a special instrument, designed for both bassists who want to experiment with new textures and musicians who already play ukulele and want to expand their musical range.
The solid acacia body gives the UKU Bass TMX a rich and natural resonance, enhanced by the open-pore finish that keeps the wood breathable and highlights the beauty of the grain. Acacia, a close relative of the Hawaiian koa, provides a perfect balance between full bass and defined midrange, delivering a sound that surprises with its weight and clarity, especially when amplified. The instrument also stands out for being slightly larger than a baritone ukulele, creating the perfect foundation for any musical arrangement.
The black strings, developed specifically for this type of instrument, allow for a smooth and precise response, while ensuring the necessary comfort for long rehearsal sessions or performances. This model's greatest asset is its tuning: identical to that of a bass guitar—E, A, D, G—making it intuitive for bassists and accessible to any musician looking to explore the bass quickly.
Connected to an amplifier, the UKU Bass TMX unleashes its full potential. The built-in preamp, developed by APC, includes an integrated tuner and equalizer, offering complete control over the tone and allowing you to adjust your sound to a variety of situations, whether on stage, in the studio, or for casual sessions. These reliable electronics transform the bass ukulele into an extremely versatile instrument, capable of integrating into genres as diverse as folk, jazz, pop, and traditional music.
Although a relatively recent innovation, launched only in 2014, the idea of adapting the ukulele to the low register quickly won over musicians worldwide. The UKU Bass TMX combines this modernity with the artisanal expertise of APC, a Portuguese company founded in 1976 and now internationally recognized for the quality of its string instruments. Each instrument is the result of a combination of traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology, maintaining the commitment to building unique pieces that reflect authenticity and precision.
