Golden Ocean Sunset: Kala Quilted Ash Acoustic-Electric Fretted U•BASS®

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Kala Quilted Ash Acoustic-Electric Fretted U•BASS® (QA-FS), an instrument that captivates the eye with its stunning quilted ash construction that evokes the mesmerizing colors of a golden ocean sunset. The striking quilt figuring creates three-dimensional patterns that seem to ripple and flow across the instrument's surface, displaying warm golden hues that shift and dance under different lighting conditions. This remarkable wood presentation makes each U•BASS® a unique work of natural art, as the quilted patterns vary from instrument to instrument, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The visual impact is enhanced by elegant black binding that frames the quilted ash beautifully, creating sophisticated contrast that makes the wood's natural patterns even more dramatic and eye-catching.

Beyond its spectacular appearance, this quilted ash U•BASS® delivers the authentic deep low end that the U•BASS® was designed for, showcasing the fundamental bass response that has made this format a revolution in portable bass instruments. The quilted ash construction provides excellent tonal clarity and projection, with the wood's natural characteristics contributing to a balanced sound profile that maintains articulation even in the lowest registers. The mahogany neck adds warmth and structural stability, while the rosewood fingerboard and bridge enhance both playability and tonal richness. This model comes equipped with premium Kala Round Wound Strings by LaBella that provide the familiar feel and response of traditional bass guitar strings, making it ideal for electric bass players transitioning to the U•BASS® format. The professional UK-500B onboard EQ ensures your sound translates perfectly whether you're recording in the studio, performing on stage, or practicing at home, while premium Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle optimize string performance and sustain. Custom black die-cast tuners provide reliable tuning stability, and the included custom padded gig bag protects your investment during transport and storage. Important note: This model is specifically optimized for round wound strings and is incompatible with Road Toad Polyurethane string conversions, ensuring you get the best possible performance from its intended string configuration.
