I had previously tested out a cheaper $99 U-bass, and the sound quality was not good. I then tried a $400 U-bass and it sounded amazing. I wanted something in between.... And this Kala Scout is it. It sounds great. I think the value is really good, as I expect to be playing this for years. For being so small, it really is a legit bass. The thick rubber strings are totally different than anything else in the Ukulele family. I actually find it really easy to play. If you don't know, you WILL need a bass amp/speaker with a U-bass. The low notes do not carry far. When my wife plays her Ukulele, you can not hear the Scout without amplification. When playing alone, the acoustic sound is fine for practicing. 100% recommend for a first U-bass. Review: Scout U-bass handy, light. Needs wound metal strings. - Been playing upright & Fender Jazz bass for years. Scout U-bass handy, light and a low-medium quality bass with unexpectedly one of the better playing necks. Original plastic strings tone was thin-weak acoustic, electric generally better but no cigar. Original Kala plastic strings are not for me (I'm picky) like playing wet noodles. :-( Replaced original noodle strings with Kala Metal Round Wound U-BASS Strings (KA-BASS-4). Wound metal strings made all the difference. Acoustically bass was better still weak -- but shines as an electric. Took (metal strung) bass to rehearsal, amplified did well. Other musicians tried it out, some did not want to give it back. :-) May have sold 2 more Scouts for for Kala. Upside: Great customer service from Ashton. Surprisingly good neck, OK price, light & small, handy carry bag Fits in my Mini-Cooper. Downside: Plastic strings, battery life short, poor to medium quality construction. needs a deeper cutaway. Update:-1 After writing review the 1/4" F-jack on bass went bad. Vendor will not ship replacement parts! To their credit vendor did PDQ ship entire replacement bass - Exchanged good 1/4 F-jack & shipped replacement unit back. Update-2: 1/4 jack was not the problem - This time went directly to Kala - good move. Kala consumer support is top flight. Within 2-3 working days problem diagnosed & PDQ shipped correct replacement parts. Customer support that actually supports the customer.

Sounds amazing plugged in. *by B***D on January 31, 2021* This is a really fun solid little instrument! It takes some getting used to those huge strings but even my 13 year old was playing scales after a couple minutes. It’s pretty easy to get fret buzz on the E string so you have to adjust technique a little. I don’t have a bass amp but plugged it into an old fender twin reverb and it sounded great! Acoustic it sounds good but not fantastic. Plugged in it really does sound like a bigger bass. The strings are much easier on your fingers and really nice for getting my kids playing. Built in tuner is a nice convenience although you really have to turn those tuners a lot to see a difference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kala Brand Music Co., 4-String Ukulele, Right, Natural, Ubass Scout-FS - JOYO 10W Mini Bass Amp Bass Guitar Practice Amp Combo Bass Amplifier Portable Small Battery Powered Bass Amp Dual Channel (MA-10B) - New bee 6ft Instrument Cable Bass AMP Cord for Electric ,Bass Guitar, Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle to Straight, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/204820247-scout-acoustic-electic-u-bass](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/204820247-scout-acoustic-electic-u-bass) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
