"The Kala Solid Body U-Bass is a true innovation in the world of bass," said Hutch Hutchinson, longtime bassist for Bonnie Raitt. "They are really fun to play, sound great live or in the studio, and are extremely portable."
Kala introduced the original U-Bass design in 2009. Since then it has found its way into studios and live performance in the hands of many notable artists that include Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon), Ira Coleman (Sting), Jim Mayer (Jimmy Buffett), and Reggie McBride (Keb Mo). It has also been featured in the popular TV series,Glee.
