Lend it from a friend few years ago for a acustic concert, since I only own five string jazz-basses and stuff. The audience thought it was a joke when I walked with it on stage. But soon after I hit the first note, everyone was blown away. That thing is no joke, even if its good for some laugh. :-)

I love mine. I have small hands and arthritis. You don't have to stretch, or press to hard to fret. I like it being quiet for practice, but still have the option to plug it in for volume, and effects. ❤ Also out of all my guitars and basses this stays in tune the best. Which really surprised me.

[adriengahery]

The editing is spot on, not to mention the playing. You're nailing this YouTube thing, Philip.

[jadeclerc]

That actually sounds really really good. I’m just as surprised as you seemed. Could definitely see having that along for travel or plucking around the house

I have had a Kayla for a few years and it is a gem. Paul Simon's bassist uses one!

[kntuchy]

dude just saw you for the first time, awesome video quality and the chord progression... man the 4minor gets me everytime :D

[conorlarkin]

I’ve been thinking about picking one up for plugged-in acoustic gigs. It seems like that texture might lend itself well to the more natural and organic sounds of acoustic guitar

[judih.]

Very nice. I have a Kala Uke and it's a nice instrument.

[A-Wart-Hog]

I was pleasantly surprised by the tonal sound that it produced.

[johncox]

So glad you are still creating content. Love the video.

[holdenstallsmith]

Alright, I'm definitely gonna get one now

[TheDarklady]

I love both my steel strings and poly string Kala ubass ❤

[BrightonSad]

Man, it would be so cool to see more reviews of bass specific gear from you! Just something I think would be cool :)

[camerakungfu]

Oooh, wait until you string it with flats! Similar sound but infinitely more playable and they stay in tune.

[jeffcummings]

I liked the nearly-upright-bass tone you got out of it, especially in the upper register. That might make a good substitute for those (like me) who lack the space and skill for an upright.

[bassnsax]

It sounds great! Almost like a blend between an upright and a semi-hollow bass! I might have to pick up a Uke bass...

[dchauser]

Wow... that's a much deeper tone that I would have expected out of one. That's pretty neat.

Now to catch up on videos since the algorithm hid things. Stupid Youtube.

[Highrollinhunter]

I don't own a Uke bass but I have a nice squier affinity p bass I use rotosound strings because of Cliff Burton and Steve Harris.

Love that channel and really enjoyed your livestream although I missed it live. Just wanted to say that I would love a Tuesday or Thursday live stream. Monday's and Wednesday's seem to be the most heavily populated upload days on my end. Just my 2 cents, thanks!

[martinheath]

You got a very nice McCartney tone out of that 😊
