Kala U Bass (Mahogany top)


This unique product is the result of a collaborative effort between Kala Ukulele and Road Toad Music. It has a 20 inch scale with 16 frets. Unlike strings you may have seen in the past, the polyurethane strings have a great feel, with really nice tension, and are a true pleasure to play. This instrument makes a unique sound that falls somewhere between an upright bass and a standard electric bass. It sports Hipshot tuners and a passive piezo system. Each string is compensated in length for proper intonation and has its own custom "shadow" piezo system for a perfectly balanced sound. It has a solid Mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard. This is the instrument for someone who is looking for something a little different that is also great fun to play. It comes in it's own custom hard foam case (that meets carry on standards for aviation etc)

U-BASS Cloth Strap - Black

Kala Straps are great for gigs. Easy strap on and ability to quickly change instruments on the fly, this is a must have for all.

(NOTE: Strap button needs to be purchased separately and professionally installed. Damage due to improper installation will void your Kala warranty.)












Thundergut® is a special very elastic and dense material developed by us in our headquarter that assure superior performances over the common polyuretane and silicon rubber bass strings available in the market. Thundergut® assure fast and stable intonation; no sweet finger's slip on the strings. These are an off white colour.


£29.95







The new Silver Rumbler strings are made exclusively for Kala by Aquila; they have a little bit more tension than the classic UBASS strings. They use a special "Nylgut" compound to give them increased density and stability - as well as, they claim, the ability to resonate tone at very low frequencies. They reportedly have a clearer tone and solid low end - and are significantly different than the Kala Pahoehoe U-Bass set. This is the "OEM" string that comes stock on the Rumbler U-Bass.

£29.95









THUNDER REDS®

The Thunder Reds sets: a unique look and a strong, consistent sound.

Until now, it was necessary to increase a string’s gauge to reach lower frequencies. But increasing the string’s diameter also increases internal dampening. That makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled:

the thicker the string, the duller the sound.

Our revolutionary new approach —never introduced before us— changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge unchanged.
