Kala - Hutch Hutchinson Signature U-Bass + Housse

The Kala UBASS-HH-SSMHG-FS is no ordinary ukulele. Designed by Hutch Hutchinson, Bonnie Raitt's faithful companion, it condenses years of groove into a portable format that surprises with every note. The mahogany body and solid spruce top create a natural balance of warmth and clarity, ideal for supple, expressive lines.

The mahogany neck glides naturally under the fingers. The rosewood fingerboard softens the touch, and the 16 well-spaced frets recall the fluidity of a double bass. The Road Toad Pahoehoe polyurethane strings add an original elastic texture: you can feel the vibration even before you hear it.

The Fishman U-BASS EQ electronics turn this small size into an acoustic weapon. The transducer faithfully reproduces every nuance, from muffled murmurs to precise attacks. The simple, precise control lets you sculpt your tone to suit the context: studio, stage or acoustic session.

In terms of design, this is a reference with character. The sloping '4-Vent' soundhole is not just aesthetically pleasing - it effectively reduces feedback while adding depth to the look. The Hipshot Ultralite mechanics maintain stable tension, even when playing hard or tuning for long periods.

Supplied with its Deluxe padded case, this U-Bass goes everywhere with you. Small and bold, it embodies the Hutch Hutchinson philosophy of getting straight to the point, with style and precision. For bassists who like to feel the groove before they play it, this is an instrument that brings every note to life.
