Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele : Impressive

7 years ago

I was looking for an instrument that could replace a bass + amp, for jamming / songwriting session, so an acoustic bass seemed to be the ideal solution, but I don't like how big regular acoustic basses seem to be.

This is perfect, as the (acoustic) sound is impressive, and way louder than you would expect. It is very light and small to carry around everywhere.

I had my 1st gig ever with it yesterday night, so it was plugged into a sound system, and it did not disappoint at all, as the sound was very round and warm... and loud! :)

The build quality is also very nice and solid, nothing bad to say about this.

The only negative point I would have to say against bass ukuleles in general is about the strings: as they are in a different material than regular basses, they tend to grip, both on the left and right hand, so it is a bit harder to play: you can't strum too hard, and you can't really slide on the neck.
