The original, groundbreaking, 21" scale, U-Bass design, launched in 2008 by the Kala Brand Music Co., brings even more of the thump and thunder in this incarnation, courtesy of an all-solid Mahogany construction and a new under-saddle piezo pickup and onboard electronic system from Shadow.

Tuned just like a traditional bass, the U-Bass is ultra-compact, totally unique and a whole lot of fun to play.
