Get to know them!

Get ready for a huge bass sound in a not-so-huge package with the Kala U-Bass Bamboo. Owing to its compact 20.875-inch scale, the Kala U-Bass Bamboo is a perfect travel companion that’s ideal for playing around the campfire, busking in the streets, and bringing on vacation, so you don’t have to miss a single day of playing! Featuring eye-grabbing all-bamboo construction, the Kala U-Bass Bamboo exhibits a room-filling sound that belies its diminutive size. And, when it’s time to plug-in, you’ll be blown away by its natural-sounding electronics. Bass players at Sweetwater sure were! For a unique bass with a tone that doesn’t quit, check out the Kala U-Bass Bamboo.

Exquisite all-bamboo construction

This U-Bass has a gorgeous solid bamboo body, which exhibits a wide spectrum of sound, from low-end to high-end frequencies, with ample projection and sustain. The U-Bass Bamboo comes outfitted with a satin-finished bamboo neck capped with a bamboo fingerboard that feels great in your hand and provides an incredibly comfortable playing experience.

Special strings, special sound

The secret behind the big sound of the Kala U-Bass is almost as cool as its small, ultra-portable format. It comes from the combination of the right tonewoods and Aquila's Thunderblack polyurethane strings. These lightweight, large-diameter strings provide plenty of low-frequency oomph, which resonates with a deep, rich, and wooden quality that's reminiscent of the coveted upright sound yet colored with a uniquely musical U-Bass quality all its own.

Packed with premium appointments

Other standout appointments that add to the rich sound and stunning looks of the U-Bass Bamboo include a Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle. In addition, custom black die-cast tuning machines keep you in tune and add a nice visual enhancement. Finally, U-Bass electronics kick out great amplified tone when you plug in, complete with built-in volume and tone controls, and an onboard tuner — no more fiddling with clip-ons or tuner pedals.

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
