Stage-ready bass ukulele with a straightforward concept
The Kala Nomad Acoustic-Electric U-Bass presents itself not only as an ideal entry into the surprisingly sonorous sound world of the Bass ukulele, but also as a straightforward "no-frills" stage and studio instrument for professional musicians. While the classic U-bass construction with short scale length promises excellent playing characteristics, a laminated mahogany body and Aquila strings provide a sonorous character. A stage-ready pickup system and tuning stable Custom tuners complete the Kala U-Bass Nomad.

The wide mahogany neck of the Nomad U-Bass promises first-class playing characteristics.
Laminated mahogany body
Despite its handy dimensions, the Nomad U-Bass from Kala surprises with a grown-up sound. In combination with the sonorous Aquila Thunderblack strings, the laminated mahogany body provides a warm sound with high punch in the low and middle registers, which is oriented towards the double bass in terms of character. The short scale length and the wide neck profile with 44.5 mm nut width also promise buttery smooth playing characteristics, so that every Bassline can be implemented with ease.
On the frame of the U-Bass Nomad sits the preamp of the pickup system, equipped with 3-band tone control and tuner.
Pickup system
Of course, Kala equips the Nomad Acoustic-Electric U-Bass with a convenient pickup system that captures the sound of the bass ukulele with natural warmth and dynamics for amplified stage use or direct pickup in Studio. The active 3-band equalizer allows precise adjustment of the sound in the character-defining frequency ranges. In addition, the precise tuner and the tuning-stable Custom Die-Cast tuners help to bring the Kala U-Bass Nomad quickly and safely into the correct tuning.
