Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele : Fun toy - Might not quite hit all the marks

3 years ago

Big Jacob Collier fan here - His Kala U-Bass playing always strikes me as awe-inspiring. What a fun, cool instrument. For a fraction of the price, this Harley Benton gets close... In recording scenarios, I have to do a little bit of extra work on the back end to get it to intonate well (AKA autotune... It works!), and there's a couple spots where certain frets are mis-leveled causing the wrong note to sound. But the electronics sound quite nice and for the most part, achieve that thuddy upright-y sound. I'm keeping it just because it's also fun to play, and for a little over $100... who can complain!
