Description

Ibanez produced the UB804MOB as part of the Upright Series, a line designed to bring upright bass character and aesthetics into an electric bass format. The UB804MOB occupied a position in that series defined by its neck-through construction and fretless fingerboard, targeting players seeking an instrument that bridged amplified upright tone with the playability of a solid-body electric bass.

The bass was built around a maple body with a five-piece Maple/Walnut neck-through construction, a combination chosen for sustain and tonal consistency from heel to body. The fretless Jatoba fretboard carries white dot inlays and runs a compound radius of 60–90mm, accommodating both lower-position chordal work and upper-register melodic playing. The nut width measures 42mm, widening to 84mm at the 24th-fret position, with neck thickness running 35mm at the first fret and 42mm at the twelfth. String spacing at the bridge is 30mm. The Custom AeroSilk MR5 bridge and black hardware complement the Mahogany Oil Burst finish. Scale length is 864mm (34 inches).

Owners requiring setup adjustments, fretboard maintenance, or bridge calibration specific to fretless instruments should consult a qualified luthier or experienced bass technician familiar with fretless neck geometry and upright-style hardware.

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
