I saw a Kala Ubass at Chuck Levins. Picked it up as a joke to show my friends, but then I played it... Wow. Then, I called my wife. Then, I bought it. Still happy about all that five years later.
the "then I called my wife" part resonates lol
Secret weapon for the ubass - Galli nylon wound strings. They're nylon core, with a nylon round winding. Higher tension than the poly strings on most ubasses, and far more stable in terms of tuning, but still give a great upright type tone
Do you have a link to where you bought them?
Love you in the review format, mostly because of your excellent playing/demonstrations. Keep it up!
Love the sound! Seems to be so practical. Thanks for the review man. Also thanks for being so generous, will definitely tap in the giveaway 😎 love the reviews!❤
Definitely here for more of the tutorial and technique content... but i'll also (happily) watch some reviews. Recently found your channel and also recently started playing bass. Loving everything so far!
Small bass with BIG sound! I absolutely love the tone that they have plugged in! 😎🔥
Done! Awesome review! I appreciate these type of straight forward, honest reviews.
A well done video!! I bought a Kala bass a few years ago and it is a GEM!! Travis demonstrates what big sound this little instrument has! Paul Simon's bass player uses one!
I'm impressed with the sound! I can see taking that on vacation to play with friends or just practicing.
What made that little bass sound so good was YOU playing it! Love your channel.
I'm in! This is on my list to buy next anyway. Great video!
Entered and liked! Love your videos. You helped me get started with bass these past few months. Thanks for what you do sir.
I have been wanting to try out the u bass. Would be great to use at church to play with a mostly acoustic set up.
Yes, big fan of this review type video. More!
That sounds so funky.. that’s awesome
Great review bro. Really enjoy your content. Not a bass player (more Keys, drums and brass) but you make me feel like I could do it. Look forward to working with you someday. God bless.
Yeah, keep doing it, man. You're killing it.
Love my u-bass with metal strings. Double love my baritone Kala electric. My Kala tenor 8 string is fun for a duet type sound.
Thanks for the review - enjoyed it.
sounds great and love the materials :) wonder what they would sound with the Aquila Thunder Reds strings.
I have the older version without the back plate and with the nylon/rubber strings. I use it when I am doing some old-time or bluegrass type stuff because it does have that big, upright sound or with a ukulele group. I also take it when I travel for business so i can practice without having to carry a big bag.
The only issues I have is the lack of the back plate, so when I have to change the strings, it's a big pain, but not impossible and the end pin is also the jack for the amp and it works it's way loose. Luckily, someone showed me a neat trip about working on those, so it's not too bad.
Nice review!
I have the exact same striped black wood Kala and I love it!
I would definitely love a review of some of the Donner basses
Excellent review. One question. I ASSUME you ordered a bass with round wounds, and you replaced them with flat wounds. Did you have to modify the nut or bridge or did the flats fit in the nut as is. Another utuber said he had to enlarge the nut since the flats where a larger diameter. Thanks !
Bro! that Ivory corduroy is killin. Great style
Love these little things even with the crazy rubber strings
I've wanted one of these for a while! I missed the chance to pick one up for a song on marketplace months back and I've been thinking about it ever since!
Great video as always. I'll definitely have a U-bass someday, no matter the brand or pricetag, just for fun, practice and some acoustic moments that life requires haha.
Awesome video. Thank You for the review.
Wouldn't buy a fretted one but the fretless one I have I absolutely love. The rubber strings aren't bad... until you try non rubber ones, now I'm never going back.
Please review the HX Stomp for bass and show us how you’d use it.
For strings... check out the Aquila Thunderbrown U•BASS strings. They aren't as sticky as the nylon types... and have a great sound. I have a Kala Passenger with them... love them.
I bought mine because we were part of a ukulele group. And they wanted a bass player... this fit the bill perfectly.
Man my UBass fever had almost been cured and then along comes Travis!😂😂😂
I liked this video very much. Thanks for sharing it.
I would e q it differently than you did, but it sounds really cool. Great playing by you as well.
I have a solid body 4 and 5, and they are power houses, kala's moto, more bass, less space. I use my pee wee basses at church, and I only have the volume and tone controls at 9 - 12 o'clock and it lays right in with the rest of the band with plenty available if needed 👍🏽
Awesome review on a pretty sweet bass, definitely sounds better than the Harley Benton that I used to have (had to sell it)
Did you add your own flats? If so what strings and did you need to adjust the bass for intonation,etc.? I notice they only sell with rubber or rounds
Yo Travis,
I say why not develop more product review episodes. Especially if these are products that you are using and believe in. As for the give - a- way , had you not offered this option, I never would have discovered your website. So that's a win. I scrolled down the site and located the email box but is that the email link to the give-a-away? or did I add my email in the wrong drop down box?
Also, I throughly enjoyed your Q&A with the wife and your buddy. Chock full of humor for sure. Anyway, thanx for all the tutorials and all the best with the calendar year of 2023.
Stay Rowdy,
Cheers
Is it loud enough to keep up withan accoustic guitar?
Love it.
love the video, anyway is the giveaway international? hehehe. living in singapore!
Do they come with strap buttons if not can you order them with them?
I love these Basses, so much fun, i Only Player Thema in a Music Store rn... I would Love to Play it in the youth of my Church!xD🔥😁
Tone is like a nice warm hug 😂
NIce! Good Info!
Pretty cool
🔥🔥🔥
I was a bassplayer for a long time but the last decade I haven't played at all and I am starting to miss it! I could totally see myself picking up one of these! They sound great, don't take up much room and I wouldn't need to buy an amp! I'm here for it and so are my small hands 😂
I’d love to win this!!!
Can u please do a review of bass synths keyboard like the moog, notation, korg ms2000?
@Travisdykes571 beware of this fake account guys
Man I’d love to tickle that little fretboard 🔥those things sound crazy for the size
I gig my Kala more than any other of my basses. I have mine about 9? Years ago and it dont have that back access then. I just buy Harley Benton and it is maybe better than old Kala and cost only 165€.
Kinda curious as where to actually buy the strings
You should be able to buy them on their website!
What acoustic bass you prefer Kala or Lanikai?
@TravisDykes. beware of this fake account
This sounds grouse and looking for a small u bass as I'm getting my shoulder operated on n will be out of action for 4 months. But, this is over a grand here in Australia!
Nice

nice vid
Perfect for traveling )
Who won the bass,
Done
I love your playing content, but would gladly accept product content, especially if it includes playing the products. A lot of 'reviews' that people put out are nothing more than talking that is basically just reading the product description.
Boss tah...
Can u slap it
Can I win it ....thank you....
So… in the Hawaiian language all the vowels are pronounced as they are properly…
So “KALA” would be pronounced “Kay Lay”
This isn’t correct at all.
Nice
