New: The Kala U-Bass Solid Body Collection

Inspired by the original California Series U-Bass, this innovative short scale bass is a whole new take on the U-Bass. These small bass guitars are made of solid wood and feature an element. With a beautiful clear sound, the compactness does not detract from what you can expect from a full-fledged bass guitar, but it is a lot more practical.

The Original California Series

The Kala California Series U-Bass is a compact acoustic-electric bass ukulele with a warm, deep tone. These instruments feature solid woods and high quality electronics, making them ideal for both live performance and recording. They combine portability with excellent playability and are the inspiration for Kala's latest product: the Kala U-Bass Solid Body.

 

A bass guitar in ukulele format

The body of the bass guitar has contoured edges, so that it rests comfortably against your body. The neck is 60 centimeters long, giving you enough space to play what you want. In addition, it is short enough as a compact instrument to take with you on a trip. The beautiful clear sound ensures that it remains a full-fledged bass guitar, despite the smaller design. In addition, it is a lot easier to take with you on a trip.

 

Different editions

The bass guitars come in different editions. There is the option with or without frets, different colours, and 4 strings or 5 strings. The sound is thick and warm due to the passive split-coil elements. They also come with a sturdy bag so you can take it with you anywhere!

Kala UBASS-BAKITHI-FS bass ukulele

Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature Acoustic-Electric U•BASS®

The Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature Acoustic-Electric U•BASS® is designed as an ideal introduction to the U•BASS®, while also offering sufficient depth for the experienced bassist. The all-mahogany body delivers a warm, rounded bass response with natural dynamics. In combination with its proprietary strings, this results in a clear, well-defined sound that will feel instantly familiar to players accustomed to an electric bass.
 
Thanks to its short scale length of approximately 52.9 cm, this bass is exceptionally comfortable to play. The overall length of around 74.6 cm makes the instrument highly compact and ideal for travelling, rehearsals or smaller stages. The body measures approximately 35.1 cm in length and 7.6 cm in depth, contributing to a surprisingly full sound relative to its size.
Visually, this U•BASS® stands out with Bakithi’s black signature pickguard and distinctive headstock artwork, hand-drawn by album cover artist Gus Liberdade. The active electronics make the instrument suitable for both live performance and studio recording, offering reliable control over your sound in any situation.
 
Why choose this bass ukulele?
  • Designed in collaboration with legendary bassist Bakithi Kumalo
  • Warm sound thanks to the all-mahogany construction
  • Compact size with a comfortable short scale
  • Active electronics for stage and studio use
  • Suitable for both beginners and experienced bassists
Included accessories

This U•BASS® comes supplied with a gig bag and includes access to free online lessons and bass line breakdowns, in which Bakithi explains his most well-known bass lines, specifically tailored to the U•BASS®.
 
For those looking to expand their setup, a high-quality instrument cable or a comfortable strap makes a practical addition. A clip-on tuner or an effects pedal can also be particularly useful, especially for live use or recording.
