Ukulele meets E-Bass

Kala U-Bass Solid Body 4-String CR

Ukulelen haben in den letzten Jahren die Welt im Sturm erobert und sind aus der heutigen Musikwelt nicht mehr wegzudenken. Einen großen Anteil an der Popularität von Ukulelen hat die US-amerikanische Company Kala. Sie bietet mit Abstand die größte Auswahl an den unterschiedlichsten Modellen. Mit der U-Bass-Serie hat Kala zudem den Ukulelen-Bass erfunden. Der U-Bass Solid Body ist der nächste Schritt in dieser Entwicklung, denn er vereint die Vorzüge einer Ukulele mit denen eines E-Basses. Letzterer verhindert mit seinem Solid-Body und Split Coil Pickup lästige Rückkopplungen und bringt zudem den klassischen E-Bass-Look mit ins Spiel. Die Ukulele steuert dafür das kompakte Format und die leichte Bespielbarkeit zur Gleichung bei. Das Ergebnis ist ein „Best Of Both Worlds“ aus beiden Instrumenten. Wie von Kala gewohnt, kommt dieser einzigartige Mix zu einem attraktiven Preis.

Kala U-Bass Solid Body 4-String CR, Korpus

P-Style-Ukulele

Der Kala U-Bass Solid Body hat eine Gesamtlänge von 84,5cm. Davon macht die Mensur (Länge der schwingenden Saite) ca. 60cm aus. Für das Holz des Korpus entschied sich Kala für Okoume; der Hals besteht ganz klassisch aus Ahorn und das Griffbrett aus Lorbeer. So ein besonderes Instrument wie der U-Bass Solid Body verlangt nach besonderen Saiten. Ab Werk sind dies speziell entwickelte Roundwounds von Kala. Diese werden durch einen Split Coil im P-Style abgenommen. Die passive Elektrik des Kala U-Bass Solid Body bietet einen Volume-Regler und eine Tonblende. Steg, Stimmmechaniken und Potiknöpfe sind schwarz gehalten. Zusammen mit dem Creme-Hochglanz-Finish und dem schwarzen Schlagbrett ergibt dies einen zeitlosen Look, der zu jedem Genre passt. Im Lieferumfang des Kala U-Bass Solid Body ist bereits ein passendes Gigbag enthalten.

Low end for on the go

The Kala U-Bass Solid Body is a special and unique addition to any instrument collection and, thanks to its affordable price tag, makes a viable option as a second or third bass. A major advantage of ukuleles – and one that is also shared by the U-Bass Solid Body – is their extreme portability. The compact and lightweight design of the Kala U-Bass Solid Body make it effortlessly portable, allowing it to be easily taken on holiday, on a business trip, or even just as far as the back garden. The similar look and feel of the U-Bass Solid Body to an electric bass also make for an easy transition, in particular the roundwound strings, which create a playing experience that is reminiscent of an electric bass. The compact size of the U-Bass Solid Body will also prove inviting to guitarists looking for a smooth point of entry into the lower end of the tonal spectrum.

About Kala

Kala Brand Music Co. is perhaps the world's most recognised ukulele manufacturer. The company was founded by the American Mike Upton in the early 2000s, in his hometown of Petaluma, California. Drawing on his earlier years of living and working in Hawaii, where he developed a deep affinity for the ukulele, Mike's mission was always to create high-quality, yet affordable ukuleles under the Kala brand that would make this instrument accessible to musicians of all backgrounds. This philosophy quickly paid dividends, leading to the rapid growth of Kala's instrument portfolio. The quality and variety of Kala's ukuleles have attracted the attention of many acclaimed artists, including Bakithi Kumalo, Abraham Laboriel Sr., Hutch Hutchinson, Twenty One Pilots, Walk off the Earth, and Eddie Vedder, all of whom are among the proud players of Kala instruments today.

Caution: Not a toy!

Although its compact size may suggest otherwise, the Kala U-Bass Solid Body is far from being a toy. The special strings featured on the instrument are strong yet highly elastic, allowing buttery-smooth playability, while delivering an impressive bass sound with a powerful low end. The solid body construction and split coil also eliminate the onerous feedback issues commonly encountered with acoustic instruments, making the Kala U-Bass Solid Body a powerful contender among the usual classics for use in studio and home recordings. In terms of performance, the excellent sound and unique look of the Kalu U-Bass Solid Body will make a lasting impact wherever the instrument is played – be it on a stage or a street corner.
