The ubass looks good, just like professional instrument would be. Only thing that is frustrating is the different volume output of different strings makes playing it difficult , example the E string sounds too soft while the G string is too loud. I’ve tried moving the saddle back and forth and this trick doesn’t work. It should have came out of Kala with QC checked all correct without customers having to correcting the imperfections. Somehow my other chinese Taobao ubass has less volume difference. If only Kala can fix this annoying issue this ubass will be perfect.
