There is an Ultra bass on eBay that interests me as a possibility for my church band. Since the solid body Ovations have never been of particular interest to me, I don't know anything about the Ultra electrics, including where they were made. Any information will be appreciated.

1983/84 Korean origin, quality pickups/hardware (this has Schaller bridge & tuners & a Dimarzio P/U) allegedly US assembled/finished. Part of the short-lived Hard Bodies series that included the GS & GP. Decent quality instruments, with the exception of the GP the Ultras usually go for around $200 which is a pretty good deal.

Does anyone know if the bodies are ply or laminate?

Is that a trick question? OK I'll try to answer, yes.
And they were all assembled in the US, Marion North Carolina to be exact.

I am putting Bill and Paul T down on my Lifeline List for when Regis calls!

If Alex Trebek calls I had better bone up on the archives.

Yes it was...I'm at my trickiest when I don't mean to be.
Glad to see you weren't fooled though, Dubyatoo!
