A U-BASS That Has Become a Kala Reference Since 2008
Released in 2008, the U-BASS established itself as a credible alternative to the traditional bass for musicians seeking mobility and simplicity without sacrificing low-end foundation. This Spalted Mango version highlights the spalted mango wood, with a distinctive visual identity. Note: U-BASS is a Kala exclusive, an iconic model of the brand.
Who Is This U-BASS Spalted Mango For?
This 4-string electro-acoustic bass suits both beginners looking for an easy-to-handle instrument and intermediate and professional musicians seeking a compact bass for rehearsals, traveling, playing small acoustic sets, or recording. Its size and electronics make it suitable for styles like pop, funk, reggae, soul, folk, or unplugged accompaniment.
Sound
The U-BASS is known for its ability to deliver surprising lows despite its small size. The Spalted Mango top contributes to a warm response, while the piezo pickup paired with the UK-500B preamp provides defined attack and solid low end when plugged in. The short 20" / 508 mm scale length offers a smooth playing feel and encourages fast playing, ideal for round and percussive lines.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To fully enjoy the preamp, a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable is a safe choice. A tuner (clip-on or pedal) and an instrument stand perfectly complement the setup. The bass is delivered with a deluxe gig bag, convenient for transport.
