Not really worth a PM ... But yes, I've tried one out in the music store for a few minutes. A nice sound when amplified properly, if you want/need such a compact bass instrument. The proprietary strings would make me nervous about replacements, though they should last a good long while. Otherwise, I'd prefer a longer scale acoustic bass guitar that takes readily available string sets and may be priced comparably to the U Bass.
