From Our Research Team:

A Fantastic On-the-go Bass!

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 huge success of the Kala's acoustic U-Bass, the Solid-body U-Bass gives you 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, with bottom end to spare. That's because of the proprietary polyurethane strings Kala have developed, which allow their small-bodied instruments to produce deeply resonant tones.



But polyurethane strings aren't the only cool thing about the Kala Solid-Body U-Bass. Driving its output is a MI SI ALIGN active preamp system, complete with volume and equalization controls. The preamp features a unique, battery-free design. You can charge it in about a minute for up to eight hours of continuous playing time. This US-made instrument also sports custom HIPSHOT tuners and a self-lubricating Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut, so you'll get reliable performance that lasts for years. That kind of quality makes the Kala Solid-body U-Bass not only convenient, but extremely fun to play.

Kala Solid-body U-Bass Features at a Glance:
  • 4-string model
  • Satin Espresso Brown finish
  • Environmentally friendly battery-free MI-SI ALIGN active preamp system
  • Preamp charges in 60 seconds for up to 8 hours of playing time
  • Volume control and 2-band EQ
  • Custom HIPSHOT tuners
  • GRAPH TECH Black TUSQ self-lubricating nut
  • Proprietary polyurethane strings produce incredible bottom end
  • Meets all airline carry-on requirements
  • Made in the U.S.A
  • Deluxe gig bag with backpack straps included

For a great bass you can take anywhere, pick up a Kala Solid-Body U-Bass!

My experience was outstanding! I feel like I'm back in the 1950's when customer service was worth its weight in gold! I love the candy and personal phone call to acknowledge my order. You deliver the goods with superior efficiency, expediency and true concern for the customer.

I bought this from Sweetwater about a month ago. I originally wanted the accoustic/electric mahgony version after reading the great reviews and seeing some videos on youtube. Iwas getting a little anx... read more [+]ious waiting for the backorder when I saw they came out with this model. I debated whether to spend the extra money for this solid body not having heard it yet. I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. This thing rocks! It sounds great and is much more comfortable to play around on with its solid body. The hardware is top notch. Electronics too. The poly strings take awhile to stretch out, but they eventually hold their tune. This little rascal is a ball to play and so convenient. I love it. Good stuff! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Danielle Cummings
The solidbody Kala U-Bass line is amazing! They have tons of low end, and the tone reminds me of an upright bass. Definitely a great tool for a bassist on the go!
