Kala U-Bass Spalted Maple
Rok F. 13.04.2024
I generally like it. The woodwork on the inside of the instrument could be a bit better. The backplate is screwed on, not magnetic, unlike on some other models - this is just a note, not a downside, at least not personally. I like its open-back tuners, tuning the strings is not that straightforward though. You have to pull them and make big turns. The frets are well processed - no sharp edges. It produces a pleasing acoustic sound. I like the feel of its Thundergut strings, but I find them harder to play fast than metal strings, because of the material. They are slightly sticky. I find the E string a bit quirky - the sound is muddier than on the others and sounds slightly out of tune when played close to the sound hole. I prefer the sound it produces when it's tuned slightly flat (the E string). I'd prefer the guitar without the active electronics - with a different (simpler) pickup system. I'd like to eventually swap the strings for Thunder Reds to see if I like those any better. I haven't yet tried making any neck adjustments to see if I could get rid of some of the quirks that way.

I love this instrument.
The wood is super nice and the sound is amazing.
It take a bit to get used to the strings but once you play for a while then those feel good.
Totally recommend 👌

Super ukulélé basse!!!
Lixou 14.08.2021
Je suis super contente de mon achat!
Bassiste depuis plus de 15 ans (4, 5 et 6 cordes), ça faisait un moment que je pensais à me procurer un ukulele basse pour voyager, ou pour les concerts qui s'y prêtent pour ne pas tout le temps transporter mes basses. J'en avais testé un de la même marque dans un magasin de Paris, j'avais grave kiffé le son! Et j'ai donc franchi le pas cette année pour mon anniversaire (cadeau de tous les amis ça fait encore plus plaisir <3). Je suis entièrement conquise, le son est génial, l'accordeur fonctionne très bien et l'instrument est magnifique.
Je ne peux que recommander cet article.
Merci encore à Thomann pour leur professionnalisme

Alix, fidèle cliente depuis mes 14 ans ^^
