I just received my new UBass the other day, so I'm still messing with it. I'm not sure if the E string was set up properly, as when I move up the frets, it sounds off. It might just be that I'm not used to it, but watching this issue. I'm not sure what to do if the intonation really is off.
Other than that, it's way different from my acoustic UBass. It's heavier and has more frets, which is what I wanted. Plus, it sounds more like a guitar bass, which fits better with the music our group plays and my husband's originals. It's also showing me how much I have to learn. My other bass was more forgiving for me as still a novice bass player. This one will help me grow better, I think. I'm glad Kala finally came out with a California UBass that can handle the metal wound strings! Thank you! And, it's pretty! Now, if they can just offer a UBass stand to support it, that would be great, because none of my stands work!

We appreciate the purchase! Please make sure to contact our service team if you are still having intonation issues that can't be dialed out by adjusting the string distance on the bridge: support@kalabrand.com

The new solid body bass feels great in my smaller hands. Perfect neck radius and neck length just short of a Mustang type neck. Strings feel firmer, and sound punchy. A great bass right in between the tried and true UBasses and any traditional short scale. Love it. A great addition to my Ubass family.

A beautiful instrument. I am a California U-Bass player and the is definitely an adjustment period going from poly strings to metal strings. One thing negative is that it comes with roundwounds, I prefer flatwounds and according to the person that I spoke with flatwounds are not yet available. Lovely instrument to touch and play. Fine workmanship. Highly recommended.

It is a wonderful fun instrument, would prefer it come with flat wound strings included however. Or provide a discount to replace them perhaps.

I couldn't be happier with this Ubass. Gonna' get a 5 string when they become available. Really punchy and tight and being lightweight, I can play this all night! Bravo!
