Kala Journeyman Mahogany U•BASS® – Black Matte Finish with F-Holes
Model: UBASS-JYMN-BK-FS
Professional Tone. Bold Design. Affordable Price.
Step into the spotlight with the Kala Black Journeyman U•BASS®, the most striking and full-featured model in Kala’s Journeyman Series. Finished in sleek matte black with cream binding and eye-catching F-holes, this short-scale acoustic-electric bass is built for performers who want tone, style, and comfort—all without breaking the bank.
Crafted entirely from mahogany, the Journeyman delivers the signature U•BASS® tone—warm, deep, and punchy—whether unplugged or amplified. A Venetian cutaway offers easy access to higher frets, while the built-in UK-500B active pickup system with onboard EQ gives you full control of your tone on stage or in the studio.
This model comes strung with Kala Round Wound strings, providing a bright, defined attack that suits players transitioning from traditional electric bass. And with a custom-padded gig bag included, you're ready to travel light and play big.
