A Signature at the Heart of Kala's U-Bass Heritage
The concept of the bass ukulele is one of the most significant evolutions of the ukulele format, and Kala has played a major role in popularizing this approach. This Hutch Hutchinson Signature U-Bass follows in that tradition: a compact bass designed to offer real presence in the mix, with a strong sonic identity and an elegant natural satin finish. An instrument that combines the "nomadic" spirit of the U-Bass with wood and hardware choices focused on performance.
For Whom and Which Styles?
This U-Bass is aimed at bassists and multi-instrumentalists who want an easy-to-carry instrument (rehearsals, travel, sessions) without sacrificing a solid sonic foundation. Its format makes it particularly enjoyable for home practice, small stages, acoustic accompaniment, and amplified sets. It excels in pop, folk, reggae, groove, variety, and any context where a round, precise bass that is quick to set up is desired.
The Sound
The solid spruce top promotes attack and clarity, while the solid mahogany back and sides enhance warmth, low-mids, and the sense of "body" in the note. The short scale (21" / 533 mm) contributes to playing comfort and immediacy, and the Pahoehoe Road Toad strings provide a full, supple low end, ideal for round and musical lines.
Plugged in, the Shadow U-Bass Active EQ (3V) electronics allow quick tonal balance adjustment, and the built-in tuner simplifies life on stage and during rehearsals. The result: a compact electro-acoustic bass with convincing projection and excellent clarity once amplified.
