I was looking for some really "dark" bass sound for my little project and at the end ended up with the short scale with nylon tapewound strings. These little things sound so massive when it comes to it. And yes, they are fun and easy to live with.

I use to have the acoustic Uke bass before. Was a life saver for gigging when I injured my wrist.

Dude, the riff you played with distortion, was one of the best riffs I have ever heard from anyone! Please make that into a song or let me know where I can hear it if it a song already.

I love small basses. I had the model with the rubber strings and they were hard to keep tuned. This is a step up. I have a CNZ and a Hofner Shorty and they are bargains!

Sounds Great Patrick!! I just Finished a whole series on it as well. Very Very Impressed. Great Job! 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸

I just ordered the fretless version this morning!

Im gonna be doing a 6 month stint on a ship this year, this looks like a perfect size bass to bring with me

Well-done critique, loved the distorto part...

Looks good for travelling ps love your show dude

Pretty cool demo, Patrick 😎🤘🏻🎸 I’ve recently have been seeing small basses similar to that. Only some of them have a single cut body. And since you’ve mentioned rubber bass strings, my brother had one small bass that uses those type of strings. I’ve tried it and it was interesting. Other than that, these basses seem great travel basses.

This bass is SOOOOOOO cool!😍😍😍😍

Flatwounds are also now available from Kala

That's pretty neat. I wonder if they make flats for it. Nice demo, Mr Hunter.

As a hack guitar player who loves mucking around on bass, I want one! But it will probably be ~$1000 when it lands in Australia.

I have 2 acoustic uke basses. Fretted an fretless. The rubber strings don't really bother me. Super light and fun to play. Both sound pretty good plugged in. Of course they will not be replacing my standard size bass

Wasn't expecting 110-50 strings from LaBella. That's double surprising.

I've built a headless 4 and 6 string fretless u-basses, they're rly nice and they make storage so much easier

Now take that bass to a metal gig and see what reaction you get when people see you with it.

It looks like a lot of fun.

You playing one of these is making me want one in Charlotte FC colors at this point.

The 5 string kala is insane if love to own one but there like 1,500

I'd love one of these in a full scale bass. Love that body shape. Anything out there that has a similar body shape but full scale?

Actually sounds great for such a tiny bass.

shorter scale means less overtones which means it sounds way tighter and punchier

best alternative to the mayones cali bass ^^

Where can purchase 5 string flat-wound or black tape-wound for the kala-5 string solid body

Dude! Gotta great your opinion on the t string version!

So Cool!!!

"Look at it it's so cute" "it looks like a regular .....but tiny."Thats what she said.

An electric bass uke! I want. I want now.

Perfect for F standard meshuggah stuff.

that's gotta be the most fun 350 dollars you could ever spend.

How is the sound output level from the g-string compared to the others? I don't think you hit that one in the demo, though I'm not sure.

Is the spacing from fret to fret the same as a reg bass?

Excellent video, wish they made them left handed

Honestly, i kinda think they should have made it headless. That would have solved the tuner issue and lightened it even more, assuming they use a lighter weight system.

Damn... what even is scale length? Did it ever really matter in the first place?

and I thought my Squire Mini P Bass was small.

The tone is just not there for me. i realize it is only $350 but I play a fretless squire bass that I paid $300 for and the tone on that is miles ahead of this Kala bass. Also like Patrick said, given its size, the strings are just too big for it. I play the ukulele as well and I could just imagine playing thick gauge strings on something that size.

The notes are the same as those of a normal bass, that is, SOL is on the third fret of the fourth string???

Hello! Does the tuning hold well or does it cause problems? I bought this Ubass Kala Fretted Solid Body but the strings sound very “metallic” and the tuning is wrong, it is difficult to find the tuning with a clip tuner and it also sounds out of tune, no matter how many times I play a note it doesn't give the correct note? what will it be???

This is a bass for guitar players lol

what is the length of the scale?

great video as always, Patrick 🙂🙂. Not a big fan of the bass though

Super¡

Edward van Halen has played this bass! 🪨🎯

you play really agressive

if this came in fretless it'd be cdope af

Ukala be kidding!

the old kala solid body ubass was pretty much an overpriced piece of garbage - huge volume differences string to string from the piezo pickup, no truss rod, rubber stringed, ridiculously overpriced. they were way overdue for a redo. this looks (and is priced) much much better. they're a huge amount of fun.

Nope! it sounds exactly how I imagined it. Another novelty short scale bass 🤷🏼‍♂️

how do we know its tiny? maybe you have hands like rabea massaad.

seems it´s not in tune

Use a bow and play it under your chin 😂

I love it..but i dont think id pay $350 for that..too much. I can buy a full size ok quality bass for that much $$$..just saying.

This is not the best use of $350.

Sounds convincing, yes, but aestethically it looks like you're holding a toy instrument 😅😅😅😅
