• THE SIZE — Rather than struggle with its stature, the UBASS draws its massive tone directly from its short-scale size. The 21” scale length enables an ease of play appreciated by new, experienced, and professional players alike. Weighing in at as little as 4 pounds, this is as grab & go as it gets in the world of bass.
• The UBASS is the original ukulele bass, debuted by Kala Brand Music Co. in 2009. No stranger to skeptics, the UBASS’ signature sound, control, and portability have earned it a spot on-stage with the likes of Paul Simon, Kendrick Lamar, Vampire Weekend, Jacob Collier, and Steve Vai. Bass Player Magazine praised the original UBASS for its colossal low end and huge fun factor.
• THE TONE — A deep and resounding body is the signature UBASS sound. Clean output garners a tone and personality of remarkable similarity to an upright bass, with naturally round notes filling out any live or studio mix with ease. Lay down a steady groove or pull to the front with undeniable character and charisma.
