Kala Bakithi Kumalo Signature U•BASS® bass ukulele – Mahogany, Roundwound Strings, EQ and Custom Gigbag

The Bakithi Kumalo Signature U•BASS® was designed in collaboration with the legendary bassist of Paul Simon's *Graceland*. This fretted bass ukulele is crafted from natural mahogany and fitted with Kala Round Wound strings for a bright, powerful tone. The black pickguard and hand-drawn Zulu shield on the headstock make this model personal and unique – a visual nod to Bakithi's South African roots.

The built-in U•BASS® Active EQ system lets you easily tailor your sound for amplified use. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge provide a natural feel, while the truss rod allows you to fine-tune the neck adjustment. The Signature U•BASS® comes with a custom padded gig bag and access to free online lessons and bassline tutorials from Bakithi himself.
