Solid Hawaiian Koa Top Acoustic-Electric U•BASS® 15th Anniversary Edition
$999
To honor the 15th Anniversary of the U•BASS®, Kala’s Founder Mike Upton wanted to create something special for the yearlong occasion. So, he sifted through some of Kala’s private stock of Hawaiian Koa and hand-selected each of the beautiful top sets for the Limited Edition Solid Hawaiian Koa Top U•BASS®. The striking Koa body paired with an Ebony fingerboard and bridge is trimmed with Maple binding and Paua Abalone shell. The headstock features a special Koa branch and leaf inlay of Abalone with 15 white pearl flowers—representing the 15 years of U•BASS®.
Solid Hawaiian Koa Acoustic-Electric U•BASS® models are set-up with Kala Round Wound Strings.
This model is incompatible with Road Toad Polyurethane string conversions.

- AKAlan K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoMy New Kala U-Bass
My new Kala U-Bass exceeded my expectations. When I first got it, I looked it over carefully and could not find anything wrong with it. There has to be something, right? So I picked up my magnifying glass and went over it again. This instrument is a tribute to the Indonesian craftsmen (women?) who built it. It is flawless.
As to how it sounds, I cannot speak with authority, this being my first acoustic bass, but as a lifetime woodworker, I think it is a work of art.
