The special qualities of Hawaiian koa
It’s a special day when we see a Kala U-Bass dressed in such finery waltz into Sweetwater! Kala took a unique turn with this ukulele bass, hand-selecting private stock Hawaiian koa to shine on this instrument both visually and sonically. The warm, sweet tones of this tonewood are an excellent complement to the acoustic qualities of this small bass and will open up tonally the more it ages.
Proprietary Fishman U-BASS electronics system
While the U-Bass can deliver powerful low end on its own, the addition of an onboard Fishman U-BASS electronics system really makes it shine onstage. Not only does this allow you to benefit from crystal-clear amplification, but you'll also have access to a 3-band EQ and built-in tuner, ensuring pin-point tonal and pitch accuracy. You'll be duly impressed with the sound of the Kala U-Bass, as this Fishman pickup was designed specifically to ignite the U-Bass' most profitable features.
