The Nomad Bass is a unique instrument to say the least! With its very short 25-1/2" scale and under-bridge piezo pickup, it offers you a set of useful tonal options onstage and in recording situations. The Nomad Bass is also a fantastic first instrument for the beginning bassist. The onboard amp and speaker allow you to play it anywhere. Basswood body with a maple neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard.

Everyone is so harsh on this little bass. I love it. I take it to the beach and jam with friends. Sure its too quiet for gigging on the built in amp, but it balances reasonably well with a mid size acoustic guitar. It's a fun toy. Great for writing, practicing, etc. and much more portable than those acoustic dreadnaught basses.

I bought this bass for my 10 year old daughter, totally because of its extra short scale. I've never seen a bass with a 25.5 inch scale and it fits her nicely. That's the good part. The bad parts: The piezo is very noisy and you have to pull out all the treble on the amp in order to tolerate its sound. If you can't really fine tune the EQ on your amp, forget about this bass. The built in speaker is a joke. Even with an absolutely fresh battery, you can barely hear it. It would have made more sense to me to use a standard pickup since I only bought it because of its short scale. And I don't see a way to adjust the neck relief. You may have to pull the neck off like some old Fenders but otherwise I don't see a way to do it. Finally, it's too expensive for what you get. Way too much! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that the thing will hold up until my daughter is big enough for a 30 inch scale bass. Then I'll sell this thing in a heartbeat, if I can. Maybe I won't be able to now that I've said all these bad things about it...Oh well.
