Kala Solid Body 5-String Sweet Cream Fretless U•BASS® UBASS-SB5-CR-FL with Laurel Fingerboard Bass Guitar Australia

The Kala Solid Body 5-String Sweet Cream Fretless U•BASS® UBASS-SB5-CR-FL is built for players chasing expressive fretless tone, smooth slides, and deep low-end response in a compact, travel-friendly instrument. Combining classic styling with modern performance, this model delivers a rich, full-bodied bass voice from low B to high G.

Constructed with an okoume hardwood body and top, paired with a maple neck and laurel fingerboard, this solid-body fretless U•BASS® offers warm resonance and fluid playability. The passive humbucker pickup captures the natural fretless character, allowing subtle dynamics, glissando, and expressive phrasing to shine through in both live and studio environments.

The 23.5-inch scale length provides comfortable string tension and precise control, making this instrument well suited to experienced fretless players and bassists exploring new tonal textures. Finished in a gloss Sweet Cream, it delivers a refined, vintage-inspired aesthetic that looks right at home on stage or in the studio.

A custom Kala Solid Body U•BASS® gig bag is included, and the instrument is compatible with the Gray Tweed Hard Case, making it ready for rehearsals, gigs, and travel. Available from Ukulele Trading Co Australia, this model is an excellent choice for bassists wanting fretless versatility without sacrificing tone or portability.
