The Kala Spalted Mango U-Bass delivers deep, resonant tones in a compact package. Purpose-built for bass players seeking an innovative alternative, this acoustic-electric ukulele bass boasts premium components and construction that provide professional-grade sound and playability. The spalted mango top, back and sides give the U-Bass a stunning natural finish and robust, balanced tone.

Resonant Tonewoods Produce Rich Low End

The spalted mango top, back and sides are tonally balanced, with articulate lows and ample sustain. Spalting, a natural coloring process, creates dramatic figuring in the wood. Mango's density helps produce the tight, focused low end an U-Bass demands.

Smooth Playability Inspires Creativity

The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar under your fingers, facilitating seamless transitions between U-Bass and other basses. The comfortable profile allows fast, accurate fingering, while the short 20.375" scale length reduces hand stress. Overall, the U-Bass's design inspires you to explore new techniques and expand your musical creativity.

Onboard EQ Provides Tonal Versatility

Shape your tone with the onboard Fishman preamp and 3-band EQ. Boost the lows for a thunderous bass sound, add mids for clarity or roll off the highs for a warmer vintage vibe. An onboard tuner ensures you're always in tune. Blend the acoustic resonance with the EQ'd signal using the mix control for the perfect balance of natural and processed tones. The preamp's simple, intuitive controls give you a range of useful U-Bass sounds for any genre or style.

Premium Components for Professional Performance

Hipshot Ultralite tuners provide precise, reliable tuning, while Kala Round Wound strings deliver clear, balanced tone with reduced finger noise. A natural satin finish protects the spalted mango tonewoods and highlights their beauty. All components are built to withstand the demands of regular performance and touring. The U-Bass comes with a padded gig bag for safe transport and storage.
