I got one of those for a few days now, the fretted spruce version.
I have recorded some pieces with it already:
Fever (just vocals and bass, recorded unplugged, this is how the bass sounds best!)
King of the Road (vocals, finger snipping, Excelsius Ukulele, Kala U-Bass plugged)
Bass-Riff (just a small riff plyed on the plugged bass)
I compared the Kala to my Ashbory (which also have the same black strings on it the Kala comes with, I never user the white strings that originally came with the Ashbory).
The Kala has way better tuners, and it sounds absolutely great unplugged (of course a bit silent).
The Ashbory offers WAY more frets (the Kala does not even have a cutaway to access some more frets), the Ashbory sounds way better plugged.
Since the Kala is just a Baritone ukulele with some special parts because of the very thick strings I think it is way overpriced. I wonder how long other companies will take to bring a similar product on the market...
It is not a bad instrument, I like it actually. But it should cost half of what it does now.
