Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele FL : Great value for money

I wanted a Kala u-bass but when I found this one, I was very tempted by the price tag compared to the Kalas.

It is a well built instrument and plays precisely. It has good acoustic projection for a "rubber" stringed bass. The strings are stated as Aquila Thunderguts which have good reviews. The stock strings that came on the instrument, however, had some irregularities on the surface. They are easy to change, so not a big problem, only slightly annoying when you get a new instrument.

Plugged in it sounds wonderful, like an upright bass if you use the settings on your amp well.

I prefer the Kala u-bass, of which I now own two. Mainly for the size, though. The HB box has the dimension of a 1/2-size guitar, and I find that a little big. I prefer ukuleles :-)

Also, it does not come with a gig bag, but given the price that is OK. I bought a 1/2-size guitar bag for it, and it works OK. I suggest taking the instrument to a music store and try the bag. The tuners are protruding more than guitar tuners, so if the bag is too narrow at the top, it won't fit.
