Do these work in any Kala U-Bass? Mine still has the rubber strings. I heard I will at least need a new nut, is that correct?

No idea. I never opened them. I decided to keep the rubber strings on mine. But that sounds familiar.

I think they'll work without modifying the bass, but not optimally.

IME, they worked fine without modifying the bass. That's why they're so heavy (60-130).

Bummer, just talked to Kala and they said they won't work with my U-Bass because it is an older model without a truss rod.
