The original U•BASS® strings, the Road Toad Pahoehoe U•BASS® Strings are Kala's signature, light tension "black rubber" strings: a proprietary polyurethane blend that gives your U•BASS® a distinctly round tone with a huge amount of low-end.
These Road Toad Pahoehoe U•BASS® Strings are recommended for players in search of an upright tone with a great deal of flexibility and maneuverability. Available in 4-Strings and 5-String sets:
*For use on Round Wound U•BASS® setups, the instrument will need a new, compatible nut to accommodate these strings. A nut swap should be performed by an experienced instrument technician.
**Modifications performed by the user will void the manufacturer warranty. Please also note that Kala is not responsible for damages to instruments caused by new string installments.
These are interesting strings and produce a sound much like that of an upright bass. They're very stretchy but curiously work and sound well, and they actually make the U-Bass fun to play.
I don't don't know the science behind these strings, but they work awesome!
This is my third set of Pahoehoe strings and I prefer them over the Thunderguts strings. I have the Rumble U-bass and the Journeyman U-bass and my favorite to play is the Rumble.
Staff was helpful. Sent items needed for repair on 2 kala u.basses .My customers where happy.
Good transaction and good sound.
