Nature's Perfect Bass: Kala Bamboo Acoustic-Electric U•BASS®

Embrace the future of sustainable music-making with the Kala Bamboo Acoustic-Electric U•BASS®, an instrument that represents the most environmentally conscious choice for bass players who care about both exceptional sound and planetary stewardship. Bamboo stands as the most sustainable choice for musical instruments, offering a highly renewable resource that regenerates quickly without requiring replanting, sometimes growing an astounding three feet per day! This remarkable "grass" defies expectations with straight grain patterns that are actually stronger than most traditional hardwoods, proving that environmental responsibility doesn't require compromising on durability or performance. The result is a beautifully natural-looking U•BASS® with clean, organic lines that showcase bamboo construction from top to bottom—literally from the headstock to the fretboard to the saddle—creating visual and tonal consistency that's both striking and sustainable.

Beyond its impressive environmental credentials, this bamboo U•BASS® delivers exceptional acoustic performance that rivals any traditional tonewood construction. Bamboo provides a distinctively bright tone with great volume, harmonics, projection, and sustain that cuts through any musical arrangement with clarity and authority. The natural strength of bamboo creates an extremely durable and resilient instrument that can withstand the rigors of regular playing, touring, and transport while maintaining its structural integrity and tonal quality over time. The comprehensive bamboo construction includes not just the body but extends to every wooden component, creating a cohesive instrument that showcases the versatility and beauty of this remarkable sustainable material. Premium appointments include a Graphtech TUSQ nut for optimal string performance, custom black die-cast tuners for reliable tuning stability, and the professional U•BASS® Active EQ system with 9-volt battery power that ensures your sound translates perfectly in any amplified setting. The specially matched Aquila Thunderblack® strings complement the bamboo's bright character while providing the deep, authentic bass response that has made the U•BASS® format famous among touring musicians and studio professionals. Complete with a custom padded gig bag, this bamboo U•BASS® proves that choosing sustainable materials doesn't mean sacrificing quality, performance, or professional-grade features—it means embracing the future of responsible instrument making while enjoying exceptional musical results.
