Larry_M Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) Here's a very nice Kala u-bass in great condition. The model is FS and I think it's from about 2010-2012. It matches what it is says in this review: "Note that the pickup system is completely passive: There’s no preamp, no volume control, no EQ knobs, not even a passive tone—just plug a cord into the endpin jack, fire up the amp, and you’re off." I've had it a couple of years. I bought it with the intention of replacing my battered old countryman uke. it's great but I've barely played it. I have a sentimental attachment to the battered old one so I may as well move this on. Comes with spare strings and a strap. Price includes postage to UK mainland. I won't send it outside the UK. Not interested in trades. If you want to collect I'm in south London (Brixton-ish) or can meet Brixton or central London. 11 May: Still £210 posted but £180 if you can meet / collect. 21 May: Well, silly price drop. Won't post it at all now - had to use the box for something else. But it's £150 if you can collect it from Brixton-ish or central London. If it doesn't sell here then it goes on to ebay.

TheGreek Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have a Mahalo with white rubber strings - they get sticky quickly. I'm told the black Pahoehoe ones are much better. Not cheap though so the free set makes this an even better bargain. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_M Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Thanks. I haven't played this one enough to say whether strings get sticky or not. Whatever strings I've got on my old one get sticky. I solve it by rubbing talc on strings and fingers, which also sits well with me as I'm too cheap to bother with a new set. But then when beer is consumed there is talc all over the shop .... that might be a reason my old uke is a bit battered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_M Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 I have let my selling efforts slide on this. Still £210 posted but £180 if you can meet / collect Brixton-ish or central London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Even more of a bargain bump! Beautiful top on this one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_M Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Silly price drop now to £150 collected. I've gotta get "sell the uke bass" off my to-do list but I'm not yet crazy so £150 is absolute lowest price. Goes to ebay if it doesn't sell here.

Sparky Mark Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I predict this will sell today. That's an unbelievable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamIAm Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Amazing price for a very nice instrument ... I'd grab it quickly if I didn't already have one. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I might have mentioned this before, I dunno. Everyone should own one of these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 If buy it, but the train to collect it from central London is £208 return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_M Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks and agree with all those replies - this thing should sell so easily at a bargain price and everybody should have one. Maybe two is unnecessary (which is why I’m selling it) but definitely one. And rail fares are silly prices. I’ve got someone teed up to meet tomorrow morning and hopefully that will all go to plan. If not then I’ll be bumping this up again … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
