Solid Body 4-String Jet Black Fretless U•BASS®

Great little travel bass, and an alternative to my upright bass.

Hello Kala, and a special hello to the Kala phone representative, Will, for his help in purchasing my little UBass. I bought the Kala solid-body, fretless electric bass with the stainless steel, flat-wound, strings. The flat-wounds, along with some sponge like material at the bridge, provides me the more upright sound that I desire for the bluegrass, folk and old-time country music that I play. I appreciate the overall quality of the instrument. Also, it's a great little travel bass. I would have liked the fingerboard to have no fret marks at all. I mostly play the instrument in an upright position using a camera monopod, connected to the bass with a quick-release device, to the end of the bass. I use an extending suction cup car cell phone holder to stabilize the UBass to my body when I play. I find that the short reach on the fretboard takes some getting used to. All in all, it's a very nice little bass that sounds great when you plug it into a good base amplifier. Poul Sandersen

Love this short scale bass!

Love this little bass

I own an acoustic ubass with nylon strings, but was frustrated trying to get rid of string noise when recording. This fretless solid body with round of flat wound strings fixed the issue completely. Fretless just makes pure sound no extraneous noise, and you're never out of tune once you get the hang of it. Flat wounds are easier on the fingers with this bass.
