If you closed your eyes and heard the Kala U-Bass, you may think you're listening to a real-deal acoustic upright bass. When you opened them and saw this pint-sized package, you may think someone was pulling a trick on you. The Kala Exotic Mahogany U-Bass gives you the sound of an upright bass full of the warmest, most vibrant low end possible. Kala built this U-Bass entirely from exotic mahogany, whose remarkable look is almost a match for its decadent tone. Another classic tonewood, rosewood, makes up the fingerboard and bridge. If you're a bassist on the go... traveling, backpacking, whatever - don't leave your music at home. Take your Exotic Mahogany U-Bass with you. And if you happened to get a gig along the way? Use the built-in piezo pickup system with active EQ to plug in and play!
