S-U-B Solid Body U-BASS - Black
The
Kala U-BASS is truly a ground breaking short scale bass that produces
the same pitches as a standard bass instrument and is tuned in
traditional bass tuning, E-A-D-G.
Need a bass you can take anywhere? Small enough to carry onto a plane (padded gig bag and all), this 4-string Kala solid-body U-Bass is perfect for bassists who are always on the go. Based on the massive success of the Kala's acoustic U-Bass, the solid-body U-Bass offers the same 21-inch-scale convenience in an electric-bass-style instrument. Despite its small format, the Solid-body U-Bass delivers the sound of a full-sized bass guitar at standard tuning (EADG). The Kala Solid-body U-Bass is not only handy, but extremely fun to play.
The U-BASS is strung with proprietary strings that incorporate a great bass feel with balanced tension. The U-BASS is a true pleasure to play, and the tone that these instruments produce is amazing. SUBs are available in Black, Red, Cherryburst, and Sunburst.
