Extremely Portable Acoustic-electric Bass

The Kala U-Bass Scout is another short-scale acoustic-electric bass in their popular U-Bass line that delivers incredible tone, playability, and design. The Scout features a mahogany top, back, and sides for rich, full low-end bass tone. A mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard provides stellar response and feel as well. And with a smooth, deep Venetian cutaway, you get great access down the neck. In addition, a satin finish lets the natural mahogany really shine, and a cream binding ties the color of this fine instrument in nicely for some great stage presentation. The U-Bass Scout also fits easily into overhead compartments on planes, trains, or the backseat of your car.

The right tonewoods bring out this U-Bass's warm and woody sound

As an acoustic instrument, another major factor in the U-Bass Scout tone is the selection of tonewoods. This U-Bass gives you the characteristically full-bodied sound of mahogany construction. Plus, it looks simply amazing! Add to that a rosewood fingerboard and rosewood bridge and you get a kind of dark warmth that blossoms with every note.

Custom Kala electronics with active EQ make this U-Bass a real live performer

Introduced on the 2013 edition of the U-Bass, Kala's custom Piezo electronics give this U-Bass a vibrant and realistic sound when you play plugged in. An active equalizer lets you tweak your tone, effortlessly meeting the needs of even the most demanding venues. What's more, Kala's UK-500B electronics even equip this U-Bass with an onboard tuner — an essential part of any musician's live kit.
