mattyb Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Anybody who already knows these basses won't need to read any more, but for those who don't, the Kala UBass is the same size as a baritone ukulele but has the range of a bass guitar - i.e. it is tuned EADG in the same octave as a standard bass guitar. It achieves this through special polyurethane strings which might be new to you but are very, very easy to play. If you closed your eyes you could be forgiven for thinking you were hearing an upright double bass![/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]The RRP is £499 & the spec is as follows: -All Solid Mahogany body -Custom Hipshot Tuners -Mahogany neck -Rosewood fingerboard and bridge -16 position lines -21" scale -Pahoehoe Polyurethane strings -Custom Kala and Roadtoad logo inlays -Custom Shadow bass pickup with 4 individual piezo elements -Separate compensated saddles for each string[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]It's a well-loved, well looked after instrument which comes with its own case. The only blemish on the instrument itself is a tiny dent in the woodwork of the neck by the first 'fret'. I've included a photo of that where I've highlighted the mark, so you can see for yourself. Other that it's in perfect condition.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]I'm asking for £300 including shipping with the UK for this (subject to getting a final quote but it shouldn't cost much to ship!). Located in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186659:13371_10204681169762297_2304030983749009560_n.jpg][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186660:10150566_10204681169362287_3966417710661087664_n.jpg][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186661:10277144_10204681169842299_869785378477882338_n.jpg][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186662:10394778_10204681169402288_5690360730307463050_n.jpg][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186663:11067447_10204681169322286_5590518324267449044_n.jpg][/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,][attachment=186664:11070804_10204681169802298_6502964582362525424_n.jpg][/font][/color] Edited May 7, 2015 by mattyb
mattyb Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 I'm actually looking to get an Electric guitar rig together so I would be but it would be mainly that sort of kit - what were you thinking?
