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 pickup.

I didn't think I would like this u-bass. I was so wrong! It's awesome! Sounds great, plays easy , tunes like a charm and I'm sad to say I haven't given my other two any action since I got this one! Ok, not too sad at all!

I own an acoustic ubass with nylon strings, but was frustrated trying to get rid of string noise when recording. This fretless solid body with round of flat wound strings fixed the issue completely. Fretless just makes pure sound no extraneous noise, and you're never out of tune once you get the hang of it. Flat wounds are easier on the fingers with this bass.

Great Bass
- WTWally T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoWhy I like the fretless Bass.
I love its sound and the way that I can get around the fret board, especially the high end, with less pressure on the wire wound strings. I also have the older acoustic U-Bass with large rubber band strings which is still a great Bass, although it's hard to work the upper end. So presently I'm enjoying the solid body more than the acoustic Bass. Some day I may even buy a 5 string.
