New stock arrived today and amongst the regular stuff I got the new to Australia Kala UBASS with the new Kala Round wound Metal Strings for that more traditional Bass sound.
What a fantastic piece of Kit, the nylon core metal round-wound strings brings the UBASS to life.
Easy on the fingers, and now with a nice punchy tone that is way way louder than the Polyurethane strings.
Regular Bass players will feel much more "at home" with this new UBASS and its Round-wound metal strings.
The Tuner is built in, the German Brand Shadow pre-amp is built in, and nice flamed mahogany body wood.
And 'Nice' is quite the understatement as the pictures do not do justice to how good this wood looks.
2017 Australian pricing is $915 with gigbag with Setup and includes Postage to your door in Australia.
Hit me up with a message and I can do better for you to hook you up with one.
I love to haggle, Have you seen a price from someone else here in Australia on a Stocked Item ... I will have a crack at seeing if I can do better.
The Strings are available as sets to retrofit your UBASS, they are $72.95 incl postage. Code: KA-BASS-4 and I have those in-stock too.
