Unlock a new level of play with the fretless version of Kala’s Solid Body U•BASS®!

Pulling inspiration from the original California Series U•BASS®, this innovative short-scale bass is a whole new take on the U•BASS®. Its sleek off-set body shape is contoured for balance and comfort. A 23.5" scale fretless fingerboard supplies plenty of room to maneuver around & new sonic possibilities, 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.

Sweet Little Fretless

Very pleased with my new steel-string fretless U-Bass. Fit and finish are great, and the factory setup on mine is excellent. That said, the sound is even better - pretty much what you might expect from a fretless P-bass. The bass is a bit heavier than you might expect for such a small instrument, but that may partly be why it has such great sustain. Fretted or fretless, Kala's new Solid Body U-Basses look like an excellent value.

Great little bass

It looks very cool. I was very impressed with the playability and sound quality. The real test was to use it in a live situation, and it definitely impressed my band-mates!

Number 3 U-Bass!

I love these small basses!I bought my first UBass about 11 years ago and now I own 2 acoustic UBass with rubber strings and the mini Jazz like steel string UBass.

All are frettless which make them sound more like a standup bass. I also own a Goldtone with a longer string length of 27”and a Thomann acoustic mini bass. My Kala’s are my favorite! Easy to transport. I use the Roland battery operated small bass amp to power their sound while at jams.
