Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele FL : I love the sound from this bass

2 years ago

I am beginner bass player. I ordered this bass because I wanted something acoustic, fretless and cheap. I always loved the sound of fretless basses. Build quality is very good - it does have some small imperfections in finish which does not affect sound at all. I love the sound from this small bass! Like some reviewers stated - it sound like small double bass :) The tone is lovely. I use it mostly for practice unplugged and as it sounds great, it is also very smooth and easy for playing - certainly easier than my electric basses :) Strings does have some strange feeling at first but I get used to it. They resonate less after some 12-13th fret, and those frets are harder to reach because it doesnt have a cutout body. When plugged into amplifier it sounds good... however it is best to leave the treble slider in middle... Preamp and tuner work Ok. Batteries for preamp in package were dead on arrival but this was no big problem to me ;) Strings settled in tuning after week or two. Conclusion - great sounding small uke bass that is very easy to play!
