Unfortunately this model is discontinued and no longer available.

Although there had been compact basses before, it is fair to say that Kala’s UBASS design really brought compact ‘ukulele basses’ into the mainstream, with a host of endorsements from top players in the US.

This is the U-BASS 1, the original version with an all solid mahogany body. I features an active pickup, with built in tuner, quality tuners, frets and proprietary black, smooth feeling strings, which vibrate and sound double-bass-esque, and a pod case to keep it safe.
