were clean and precise with no flaws found . The ¼ ” input jack is at the bottom of the body . Speaking of the body , the slightly curved top bouts give the bass a unique visual flow that pairs nicely with the non-standard shaped pickguard . The nut width at only 1.625 ” was easy to navigate and will fit most hand sizes .
Plugged in the Solid Body 4-String has a very clean and poppy sound that I would compare more to a J Bass style . When the tone was rolled back a bit the bottom end of the Kala bass really came through . Driven through a full-sized stage bass amplifier and blind folded I don ’ t believe most listeners could tell the difference between this bass and a full-scale bass . For extreme bottom end the Kala Solid Body U-BASS won ’ t deliver the over-the-top low end , but in most situations , it will get the job done .
The street price as tested is only $ 349 which certainly makes the Kala Solid Body 4-String Fretted U-BASS an amazing value . For Praise team rehearsals , jam sessions or recording the Kala Solid Body is ideal . Don ’ t forget about Kid ’ s or Youth worship teams and what a great starter instrument this would make for a child . Also a great way to get into an affordable fretless or 5-String U-BASS and the price increase only takes you up to $ 449 for the 5-String models .
Color choices range from Sunburst , Jet Black , Candy Apple Red and Powder Blue . Each instrument includes a padded Kala branded gig bag for transporting your bass . Kala has really brought the fun factor with these bass guitars for all ages , and they are serious and gig worthy instruments . Visit your local music store and plug in a new Kala Solid Body U-BASS for yourself . Customer satisfaction reviews are high , and the 5-String models are usually solid out . There must be a reason !
