Kala U Bass Mahogany SOLD

[TPJ]

SOLD

Up for sale, a Kala U Bass in mahogany with semi-hard case. These models have a solid carved top as opposed to the spruce ones that are laminate. One of the earlier ones, little over a year old. I used this when I was in an acoustic trio playing pop and rock classics and it was a great compliment to the double bass. It gets lots of great comments about the tone deservedly. It will do DB-ish tone to motown thump. I used to run it through an MXR80 that made it sound enormous. Surprisingly easy to play once you get used to the scale. The strings have finally settled in and don't stretch out of tune too badly any more. Strap button added to the neck for better balance. No issues and in very good condition.

This model set me back about £430 new. Looking for £300 ono plus postage. No trades, just a sale. Collection always welcome

Great looking and sounding bass. You sure that's just plain mahogany? Looks more like figured Koa to me... great bass either way!

Is it fretted? It's hard to tell from the pics.

Replied.


Thanks for the comments. Pretty sure it's not koa although the light from the flash makes it look like it. And yes, it's fretted.

I'm putting this on hold for a potential sale.
