Bakithi Kumalo's Signature U BASS!

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

The Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature U-Bass is gorgeous, fretless, and it's small enough to take anywhere. Based on the huge success of the Kala's acoustic U-Bass, the Solidbody U-Bass gives you the same 21-inch-scale convenience in an electric-bass-style instrument. Despite its small format, this is a serious axe that delivers the sound of a full-sized bass guitar. That's because of Kala's proprietary polyurethane strings, which allow their small-bodied instruments to produce deeply resonant tones. If you're always on the go, check out the Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature U-Bass.

Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature U-Bass Fretless at a Glance:
  • Made in California from premium tonewoods
  • Active preamp system is your key to beefy bass tone
  • High-quality construction and innovative design give you reliable performance
Made in California from premium tonewoods

The Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature U-Bass sports a toneful premium swamp ash body that gives you great resonance and sustain - not to mention incredible looks. California Series instruments are crafted in Kala's Petaluma, CA workshop by Kala's top luthiers.

Active preamp system is your key to beefy bass tone

Polyurethane strings aren't the only cool thing about the Kala Solid-Body U-Bass. Driving its output is an active preamp system, complete with volume and equalization controls, which give you a broad range of bass tone-shaping mojo.

High-quality construction and innovative design give you reliable performance

Kala's US-made California Series U-Basses sport 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 solidbody U-Bass not only convenient, but extremely fun to play.

  • Lightweight, toneful swamp ash body
  • Active preamp system runs on 9V battery
  • Volume control and 2-band EQ
