Kala Journeyman RED uBass Cutaway Electro Acoustic F-Holes in gigbag
The Journeyman is the grandest uBass in the new Kala line up. It's made of laminate mahogany with white binding, f-holes, and a cutaway. The Journeyman is a great for gigging, has the original uBass tone, and it won’t break the bank.
Hone your skills and perfect your craft, this Kala uBass is made to take you as far as you want to go. The Journeyman will set you on your way to becoming a master. Being the first uBass with a cutaway is handy for anybody looking to make the most of the whole fingerboard!
The preamp features a built in tuner, so no need for any clip-on tuners. And with the wound strings, you have a decent acoustic volume as well as a crisper bite to the sound if you want it! You can of course dial this out with the onboard EQ so you get that lovely warm woody thumpy double bass sound if you want - but you can have a more contemporary, rocky sound as well which is impossible with polyurethane strings.
We have recently figured out a way of ensuring much more stable and even output across the strings. We modify the saddle strip, so that instead of one long, fixed saddle strip which can lose contact with the four pickup poles underneath each string, you have individual saddles underneath each string, which make much more affirmative contact with the pickup strip. So, more volume and much more even string presence!
