I also have this 5string model and I really LOVE IT! 🙂 A HUGE overall improvement compared to the older SUB U-Bass models! However the B-string definitively SUXX! It is just too thin to create an appropriate tone. They should make it at least 125 gauge, I already sent a mail to KALA support. Nevertheless I will order a set of these new flatwound once they are avilable over here in germany.
I've been looking for something resembling a review of Kala's 5 string bass. It's proven way more dificult than expected, so thanks for your "first look". Seeing it's been 10 days since you posted this video... Any updates to your impression of it? What's good, what's bad?
Hmm, I don't have a scale but the best I can google says 5.5 pounds. My Timber claims to be 3.25 and this is definitely heavier so that's probably right.
