It arrived and it's really nice. The rubber strings will take some getting used to but through my Ashdown LB it shakes the house. £288 well spent !

Amazon are doing the striped ebony Kala U bass (EBY-FS model )for £288 ! (Just ordered one ) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BL3LNCL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 They normally go for closer to £500 e,g, https://thebassgallery.com/products/kala-u-bass-eby-fs Seems like a good deal.

Agreed - the bullet I picked up for £400 is up there with the best basses I've owned. I'd have this one in a heartbeat if it was nearer (and I wasn't on strike )

They look nice - I'm sure I nearly bought this one before. Would like to try it though as I have tried a Hutchins Prince and was completely underwhelmed.

Thanks for the input Wolfgang. Does the longer headstock and therefore additional weight cause neck dive at all ? I also flagged an Adamovic bass as exquisite in the ebay section of the marketplace and the headstock shape of that one has been universally condemned too. I guess beutry is in the eye of the beholder. Good luck with the brand.

I think the Kala sub has been discontinued by the look of it

this looks lovely : https://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/big-island-ebu-aca-n-eb-acacia-electric-bass-ukulele-in-gigbag/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsaTLqt_Q5wIVmYXVCh0uywISEAQYCCABEgJK3_D_BwE and then there is the Ashbury one too for a bit cheaper https://hobgoblin.com/ashbury-au-115-solid-body-electric-u-bass?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsaTLqt_Q5wIVmYXVCh0uywISEAQYBiABEgKwXPD_BwE

`How about one of these https://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/shop-by-size/bass/gold-tone-gt-series-me-electric-solidbody-bass-ukulele-inc-gigbag/ there is a Kala SUB on amazon uk from a german seller https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kala-UBASS-SUB4FS-SBK-Strings/dp/B00I7V9QN6 guess you would still be covered by Amazon's excellent customer service

Sorry - that'll teach me to read the post properly ! I'm on a mission now to find one !

http://w.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Kala_U_basses.html Quite a few on ebay too.

I'm now dreaming of a Shuker lele.....

I now have Uke Gas (if its still gas) No.2 is on the way and I've made enquiries about a double neck. Such fun to play.

Doesn't get much nicer than this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adamovic-ContraBas-Fretless-5-string/143526481056?hash=item216ad84ca0:g:OSEAAOSwe-tePU3A

You might be better off with a spectre or a steinberger spirit

I bought this a few minutes before reading this thread -I just liked the spalted maple finish - there are loads at good prices on ebay so thought it worth a punt - hope they aren't as hateful as most of you think !

Really like that one !

I spotted the one in Bass Direct before and it looks absolutely stunning. Would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the cash.

Don't think I'd entertain it with that feedback rating unless it was really close.

I got sent an ebay offer for £1100 today

I'm sure it will be hideous to play and won't look amazingly cool with neon green DR's on ! I liked it better when you gave me reasons not to buy it !

It's back and I still want it .........must resist ! Glad its not closer.
