Reviews around mahogony (5.00 of 5)

  • Then the Spruce top, and then the all Solid Mahogony & up from there
  • But Fretless for reasons stated was a clear choice and the solid Mahogony one my next fave for volume and tone
  • I played the Solid Mahogony one a Rumbler and 2 of the Solid Spruce Top ones all in the same day

Reviews around kala (5.00 of 5)

  • Electronics problems, or upgrades necessary to "make it sound like a Kala" made the price of a "cheaper model" about the same... with no warrentee... because you upgraded it
  • Love the idea, maybe someday I'll give Kala another shot.
  • My Kala is Solid Spruce top and laminate back & sides

Reviews around bass (4.26 of 5)

  • Having said that, this is one nice instrument, with the ability to offer a variety a tone options from it's “signature” upright double bass sound to a more “classic” electric bass sound
  • I would also like to point out that this bass projects like you would not believe
  • It is shipped with polyurethane strings and right out of the box, when amplified, it does give you a really nice upright bass tone
  • Not Like any other Bass Most People have
  • All in all a good bass for traveling especially when paired with a battery powered amp.

Reviews around deal (3.95 of 5)

  • I've had a great deal of fun with this instrument already, and enjoy it enough that I may well get a second ... perhaps a fretless?
  • First week using it at the JEMS My Hermon Family retreat, it was hard to dial in through my Hartke HA1200 KickBack12 the Low E was weak as was the G com,pared to the A & D strings
  • I've had a great deal of fun with this instrument already, and enjoy it enough that I may well get a second ... perhaps a fretless?
  • The only negative is that the pickup isn’t working evenly across all 4 strings - the low E is definitely quieter than the rest
  • The instrument can be played acoustically, but doesn't put out a great deal of volume that way, though it could probably hold it's own beside a classical guitar or lute.

Reviews around tone (3.50 of 5)

  • It has a tuner built in, really great tone and plays well.
  • The only negative is that the pickup isn’t working evenly across all 4 strings - the low E is definitely quieter than the rest
  • The bass, however, did have a nice deep tone, but I could barely hear it!
  • As wonderful as this instrument is, it is remarkable the tone you get when you run it through a bass amp.

Reviews around thing (3.04 of 5)

  • One negative thing that I have noticed is that the E string through the pickup is quite a bit weaker and does not sound nearly as strong as the other strings, which I have read the same observation also from other reviewers
  • The sound; there are so many amazing things that I could say about the sounds this little guy makes
  • The strings are the coolest fat rubbery things I have ever encountered
  • Could probably modify a few things but its not that bad.
