    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 6

    Don't mean to knock them, but I too just received a shipment that was incomplete. I ordered a couple of the same items and only received one. I contacted them and they appologized and quickly sent my other item, but there was a ticket in the orginal package where it supposedly went through two...

    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 6

    I see that the stringing of the Rumbler has been answered adequately by Kala. I'm glad because I don't know how to post pictures as I'm old and have never learned too!

    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 6

    Just received my Rumbler UBass from HMS with a great set up less than a week ago and I'm loving it! I get some really nice bass sound. I can get the thumping sound or just a nice, low end sound with no problem. I paired it up with an Acoustic AB50 acoustic electric combo amp which is perfect...

    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 6

    Soong, I have been doing a lot of research and reading about the UBass since I first discovered them and ordered one, and I could have sworn that I read somewhere that a number 2 on the back designated it as a second, with some kind of blemish. Don't quote me on that because I have read so much...

    Kala UBass...check them out! Very short scale, good bass sound, very light! That's what really attracted me. I have a Gibson EBO and a Fender Mustang, both short scale basses...but after problems with a torn rotator cuff, herniated disc in the neck, and lower back problem, the UBass seems...

    Kala UBass Megathread, Part 6

    Got notified that my Kala Rumbler UBass has shipped from HMS! It would have been here in two days if this was a normal week, but unfortunately, it just shipped yesterday, and due to the holiday, it won't be here until Tuesday! Drat it all! Oh well...a little more anticipation! My Acoustic...

    FNBD: First ever bass!

    Looks just like my old Givson EBO that my mother gave me approximately 45 years ago! Mine doesn't have the lower pickup. I'm sure you will love it! Enjoy!

    Buying first bass, want a short scale, please help! (thinking about pawn shop mustang

    Guess I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I just wanted to say that I have a Gibson EBO that I dearly love...played it for many years! Then, I got a Fender Mustang and I love it as well! I love short scale basses...never could get used to the standard size. I also have fairly short...
