Kala Solid Body 5-String Jet Black Fretted U-Bass | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The Kala Solid Body 5-String U-Bass represents an innovative short-scale bass that pulls inspiration from the original California Series U-Bass while offering a completely new take on the revolutionary U-Bass concept with extended range capabilities. This compact instrument features a sleek offset body shape that is contoured for optimal balance and comfort, making it perfect for players seeking a portable yet full-sounding bass experience with additional low-end extension. With 22 pocketed frets and a 23.5" scale length, this 5-string U-Bass provides plenty of room to maneuver while remaining compact enough for easy travel, delivering thick and meaty tone through its classic passive humbucker pickup.

Product Overview

The 5-String Solid Body U-Bass showcases an okoume body and top that provides lightweight construction with warm, balanced tonal characteristics, while the maple neck ensures reliable stability and bright tonal response. The sleek offset body shape with contoured design creates optimal playing comfort and visual appeal, enhanced by the bold Jet Black finish that offers classic sophistication and timeless aesthetic appeal. The striking contrast between the Jet Black body and white single-ply pickguard creates a distinctive visual statement.

The 23.5" scale length represents the perfect balance between playability and authentic bass tone across all five strings, allowing for comfortable fretting while maintaining proper string tension for full bass sound. The extended range provided by the additional low B string opens up new harmonic possibilities and allows for deeper bass lines while maintaining the compact, portable nature of the U-Bass design. The 22 pocketed frets and laurel fingerboard provide smooth playing action across the entire range.

The passive humbucker pickup delivers the thick, meaty tone with enhanced output and reduced noise compared to single-coil designs, making it perfect for the extended range of the 5-string configuration. The wider 1.75" nut width accommodates the additional string while maintaining comfortable playability for various hand sizes.
