I placed an order with a Canadian retailer on Feb 11 and was told about four weeks... but I'm betting it's longer. 8^(

Update, the small rectangular door on the back has started to flatten out again. Don't think I'll have to do anything to it.
I am glad that I have my Spruce top. I do wish that the availability of the Mahogany was clearer. Oh well, I can wait. I am enjoying what I have now and look forward to getting the Mahogany. I went through the same scenario when I ordered a Line 6 G30 wireless unit. I am back there again.
@Darko74 It is great that you are going to get yours though belatedly. It is a long flight from Ireland to Florida. I hope you enjoy it.

Didnt know you had a spruce top Ed. What made you want a mahogany too? Looking forward to my trip to FL. Get myself a
U-bass, some sun and some PBR!
OK, here's mine. Hutch Hutchinson model, next to its big brother Boulder Creek ( which is for sale on this forum).
Ah, you have the HH
How did you manage that 
How are you finding it??
Just so you guys can drool. Here are my two. Mahogany fretted on the left and the Hutch Hutchinson Limited Edition Signature model on the right.
By the way, the HH model will be going into production soon from Kala. List price will be $549. I suspect street price will be $450-$499.

Just picked up a Ubass. LOVE it! I've been using an Ashbory for years, but I really think the Kala is a superior instrument.
Do you think an A-style mandolin strap would be long enough to attach to the headstock? I don't want to install a button....
I am using a classical acoustic guitar strap that clips in the sound hole like the one Willie Nelson uses
I just use a guitar strap with a "shoelace" on the end. I tie the shoelace around the headstock above the nut and put the other end on the button at the bottom.
I am using one as well. The Line 6 wireless transmitter clips to the chest piece. Very compact.
My e&a seem kinda dull compared to the d&g. I'm missing the presence and the 'click'. Dead strings? Or is it the saddle orientation? Anyone else feel that?
How often do we restring these things ? Anyone had to order strings yet ?

Does anyone know where you can get these in Australia?
I want to do a review of the ubass for my blog

Still waiting for mine here in Canada. I've now been told they will be arriving mid-May -- must be on the slow boat from China. My vendor was nice enough to offer me a $25 discount if I agreed to wait, so I said sure.
I ordered an extra set from RT when I ordered my Spruce Top. I will keep them in reserve. The originals are fine for now. I have had to restring to remove excessive turns on the tuner posts. I cut about an inch off each string. All is good now.
