Product Description
The Kala U-Bass is truly a ground breaking short scale (20") bass that produces the same pitches as a standard bass instrument and is tuned in traditional bass tuning, EADG. The Kala U-Bass offers high-end style and features at a very affordable price. The Kala U-Bass produces phenomenal bass overtones and low end. The organic sounding Kala U-Bass not only sounds great and plays extremely well, but has the versatility of standard size basses for sound quality and playability. The Kala U-Bass is strung with proprietary polyurethane strings that incorporate a great bass feel, with balanced tension; it's a true pleasure to play. The Kala U-Bass can produce tones closer to the sound of an upright bass than any other instrument. Extremely portable (meets carry-on standards), the Kala U-Bass can go anywhere. It has custom Hipshot tuners and a passive Shadow pickup system that features 4 individual piezo elements and compensated saddles. The Kala U-Bass has a solid spruce top, mahogany back & sides, a solid mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Includes Kala DUB-B gig bag.

Customer Reviews
By Alan M. Mooney "Allymoo" (NW Ct.)
This bass was recommended by a friend who plays ukulele. I also play ukulele, but not very well. I was a bass player first. I like the string bass sound, and always tried to emulate it with my bass guitars, mostly by using flat wound strings, and less high range tones. This little bass sounds more like a string bass than any bass guitar I ever played! The sound is BIG and, well, BASSEY! I never could play slap style bass, and because it uses piezo pickups, I doubt this is a good cadidate for that style. If like me you like old school reggae (Sly and Robbie, Lloyd Brevett of the Skatalites, etc.) this is for you! I love it!
