According to Juan Dies, the only instrument he uses in Sones de Mexico that is not a traditional Mexican instrument is the Palatino VE-500 Upright Electric Bass. Juan overviews the features of the VE-500 and plays us a little sample to show how this bass compares to electric uprights that are up to five times the price.

Aside from the functionality, Juan also thinks this bass is very aesthetically pleasing and fits well with the range of acoustic instruments he uses. You can also use the base of the bass as a harpoon in case you find yourself on a spontaneous whaling excursion, which happens to me more than you'd think.

  • English must be homey's 2nd language, he says "uh" about 2.1 million times.

  • @sstrunks8000 You can use a bow with it, it has a raised bridge.

  • Can you use a bow with it or is it pretty much a bass guitar turned upward like Dean's uprights?

  • The VE-500 is amazing! We have them on sale at Instrument Alley dot com! We have replacement parts too if you need them. Keep up the good work!

  • Can someone tell me how good this bass is to play salsa? Is it reliable?

    Thank you.

  • Thank you so much for these informations! Do you think that the Palatino is a good instrument for beginners, too, instead of buying a big acustic contrabass?

  • thats the closest i was trying to buy, but a little more reasearch and soon found out that for a couple hundred more you can get a custom made top of the line Sendel baby bass which they make in Colombia.

    Cant wait for it to arrive.

  • where did you buy it ?

  • So if I used a electric bass for a middle school concert, would I be allowed to use it?
