Reviews around instrument (5.00 of 5)

  • The shop had three u-basses: a fretted spruce top, an fretless spruce top, and an fretless mahogany
  • The mahogany u bass seemed much better than the spruce topped u-basses, even the fretless model.
  • Anyway, love this instrument to get that more acoustic sound.

Reviews around deal (5.00 of 5)

  • The tiny scale coupled with the gigantic-gauge silicon strings makes intonation very difficult for the fretted version and there's a good deal of clacking and buzzing against the frets

More about Kala U-Bass Solid Mahogany Fretless Ukelele

  • 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. Available in fretted and fretless models, the U-BASS is strung with proprietary polyurethane strings that incorporate a great bass feel, with balanced tension; they are a true pleasure to play. We have been told that the U-BASS can produce tones closer to the sound of an upright bass than any other instrument
  • Extremely portable (meets carry-on standards), the 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
  • It has a solid Mahogany body and neck, Rosewood finger-board and bridge. This unique product is the result of a collaborative effort between Kala Brand Music and Owen Holt of Road Toad Music. All U-BASS come with a custom hard-foam case.
