Kala Solid Body U-Bass (4-String, Fretless, Satin Ash)

From Our Research Team:

A Fantastic On-the-go Bass!

Note: This version of the Spruce Top Kala U-Bass is fretless.



Need a bass you can take anywhere? Small enough to carry onto a plane (padded gig bag and all), this 4-string fretless 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:
  • Fretless 4-string model
  • Satin Natural Ash 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!

Kala fretless solid body U-bass

Music Background:
I got this because I want to play bass but I don't like the size and weight of a standard bass, and others said the fretless is easier to play than the fretted model due to the scale length.

My primary gripe is that, for the price, they could have done a better job on the finish. The holes that are drilled for the neck screws and for the string-thru weren't sanded well and still have "fuzz" around the edges and are a little ragged. Not cool. close [-]
