Electric Bass

The UB804 Black Ice Burst bass in satin finish combines a sleek aesthetic with surprisingly supple comfort and a versatile sonic personality that feels fluid under the fingers. Between the neck and bridge of the UB804 model, Ibanez has placed several innovations, creating a coherent whole that favours responsiveness and generous natural projection. You'll enjoy a compact silhouette that moves effortlessly and retains its assertive character even in tight spaces.

You'll discover precision craftsmanship, where the maple & walnut neck offers stable rigidity and even vibration for a clean attack, whatever your style. The overall shape of the UB804, combined with the Black Ice Burst colour, gives it a modern yet familiar feel. You'll quickly feel a particular ease, as if the bass is anticipating your every move, even when you're alternating between fingering and fast passages.

The AeroSilk system built into the bridge ensures astonishing sensitivity, capturing the instantaneous dynamics of your hand and adding a subtle airiness reminiscent of an upright instrument. This approach comes into its own on the UB804, as the instrument responds to both softness and tension with rare fluidity, producing a nuanced, stable timbre. You feel a natural continuity between the vibration of the strings and the amplification, which creates a very direct link with your playing, even in the finest nuances.

The 34" pitch plays an essential role, providing a comfortable transition for bassists used to horizontal models. The brand has placed enough space on the fingerboard to allow precise work, while maintaining balanced tension on each string. The particular comfort of the UB804 is particularly apparent when you're exploring slow or vibrato phrasing, where stability remains constant despite variations in intensity.

The jatoba fingerboard gives a lively response and a warm midrange, reinforcing the acoustic character sought in this type of bass. When you explore more percussive nuances, the wood delivers a clean attack without aggression, creating an interesting balance for a compact instrument. On the UB804, this combination gives a controlled clarity that lets you tackle different registers, from gliding melodies to more dynamic attacks. Your fingers move freely, and you can feel how the whole instrument reacts to the slightest change in pressure.

The maple body, small but dense, provides amazing projection in light acoustic, so you can work without an amp in many situations. When you plug in the bass, this same natural volume enriches the palette and effectively supports low frequencies without weighing them down. On the UB804, this architecture forms a solid base that enhances the dynamics of your playing and gives a very direct feel under the fingers. You'll immediately feel how each nuance balances out, whether you're playing sitting down or standing up with a suitable strap.
