Kala U-BASS Silver Plated Round Wound Strings - 4 String Set | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Kala Metal Round Wound strings deliver the familiar feel of traditional bass strings with the unique playability of the U-BASS system. These silver-plated round wound strings feature a nylon core construction that provides the warm, booming tone the U-BASS is renowned for while offering enhanced volume and projection. Designed specifically for intermediate to advanced U-BASS players seeking maximum tonal versatility and traditional string feel.
Product Overview
These round wound strings are constructed with a flexible nylon core wrapped in silver-plated metal windings, creating a unique hybrid that combines the best of both worlds. The nylon core maintains the U-BASS's signature low tension and comfortable playability, while the metal windings provide increased volume, sustain, and harmonic complexity compared to traditional polyurethane strings. The silver plating ensures excellent corrosion resistance and smooth finger movement across the strings.
Kala's proprietary construction method delivers accurate intonation across the entire 20"-21" scale length, with regular tension that feels natural under the fingers. These strings are specifically engineered for round wound-compatible U-BASS instruments and provide a louder, more projective sound than standard polyurethane options.
The EADG tuning configuration makes these strings perfect for players transitioning from traditional bass guitars or those seeking a more familiar string response in acoustic or amplified settings.
Ideal For
- Traditional bass players adapting to the U-BASS who prefer metal string feel
- Recording artists seeking enhanced volume and harmonic richness from their U-BASS
- Live performers who need increased projection in acoustic ensemble settings
- Advanced players exploring extended techniques and chord work on U-BASS
