Hi-I don't know if this is the best place to ask questions about the Kala U-Bass, but I'll try.
I recently got the acoustic solid mahogany (fretted) model. I am not interested in an electronic sound, but rather in sounding as much as possible like an upright acoustic double bass.
For practice, of course, one can use it without any amplification at all, as one can hear the tones. Barely though. The sound is very weak without any amplification.
Therefore, I wondered whether it might be fun sometimes to practice with a headphone amp, to hear a little stronger sound.
For instance, the Vox Amplug Bass headphone amp, selling for about $50 at Amazon and other places. Has anyone reading tried that with the U-Bass?
I think though, that the controls on that bass headphone amp are likely more suited for electric bass sounds, the effects like compression, etc.
Is there a way one can set it, however, to get a good upright acoustic bass sound?
Any other models that people would recommend?
Thank you.
