CALIFORNIA U•BASS®
Quality craftsmanship, versatility, and the head-turning low end of the California U•BASS® has established its legacy among professionals in the bass industry. In 2016, we redesigned the California Series Solid Body U•Basses with the player’s experience in mind. We have enhanced the look and feel to make it truly the most enjoyable small scale bass on the market. Join the likes of Bakithi Kumalo, Chris Baio, Nik West, Philip Bynoe, and more — take to the stage with a California U•BASS®.
ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC U•BASS®
Since its first introduction in 2008, the Kala U•BASS® has grabbed the attention of bass players and media alike. Bass Player Magazine praised the original U•BASS® for its colossal low end and huge fun factor. The original ukulele bass, each Acoustic-Electric U•BASS® features a custom U•BASS® pickup with built-in tuner to dial in the sonic boom. Each U•BASS® is set-up in the USA with our proprietary Pahoehoe strings, custom nylgut strings by Aquila®, or Kala Round Wound strings.
