Rated 5.0 out of 5

Based on 3 reviews

Pulling inspiration from the original California Series U•BASS®, this innovative short-scale bass is a whole new take on the U•BASS®. Kala’s Solid Body U•BASS® features a sleek off-set body shape which is contoured for balance and comfort. The 22 pocketed frets and 23.5" scale give you plenty of room to maneuver around yet it is still compact enough to easily travel with. The tone is thick and meaty thanks to the classic passive split-coil pickups. Comes with a Logo Gig Bag.

Concentrated fun

Have loved playing my acoustic-electric Kala U•Bass for a couple of years now, and the warm, dark tone of it is perfect for a lot of stuff I do, but there are times when I want a more typical electric bass/roundwound string sound. Have been waiting for the new solid body U•Basses to come out, and jumped on this when they did. It was just what I was hoping for. Quite playable straight out of the box -- haven't even bothered to tweak the setup in the couple of weeks I've had it so far. No issues I've noticed with components or build quality. Sounds great through either my old Ampeg BA112 or my Phil Jones Bass Nanobass X4. I'm not sure you can fit more fun into a smaller package than either U•Bass with the X4.

Big sound from a small package

I've really been enjoying playing my UBass. I'm pretty amazed at the sounds produced by it. My wife can't tell if I'm playing this as opposed to one of my larger basses. It's guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
