We have been looking for the right steel strung Ukulele Bass for a while – this is it! So good the boss has ordered one for himself.
Bakithi Kumalo has been a proud endorsee of the Kala U•BASS for over a decade. Long-time collaborator and bassist for Paul Simon, Bakithi’s world-renowned work for 1985’s Graceland in South Africa launched his lifelong career as bassist, studio musician, and composer. As a new milestone, Bakithi and Kala have designed his very own Signature Acoustic-Electric U•BASS to help share his unique sound and philosophy as a bassist with players of any level. Kala & Bakithi set out to create the perfect U•BASS introduction for new and experienced bass players alike. This fretted bass pairs a Natural Mahogany build with the Kala Round Wound U•BASS Strings for a clear and confident tone. Personal touches include Bakithi’s signature black pickguard and custom Zulu shield headstock artwork, hand-drawn by Bakithi’s own album cover artist, Gus Liberdade. Custom U•BASS® Gig Bag is included with purchase.
