Kala U-Bass Scout Fretted Bass Ukulele with Gig Bag
This is a great little bass from Kala.. I hadn't quite realised the difference in tone that a different pickup/ wood combination / string choice would make! The use of the thinner Aquila black strings really makes the play-ability of the instrument much easier and the cut away section allows access to the upper frets that feature so heavily in bass lessons. The accuracy of the notes beyond the seventh fret seems to be fairly accurate. One issue (that lost the instrument a star) is that there is only one strap stud on it which means either playing sitting down, using a tie strap around the neck or having another stud fitted (there's plenty of room for this where the neck joins the body of the bass). Not sure that you could claim the sound unplugged is sufficient for anything except personal practice as it's lost against any other instrument. Plugged in though it provides a deep, resounding bass sound which is very pleasing indeed. Light to carry, great padded case and a beautiful wood finish, I'm still trying to work out what is B stock about this instrument. Bax music delivered it ahead of schedule in great packaging and virtually in tune from the showroom.
