Frequently Asked Questions
The shorter scale and narrower string spacing take some getting used to, but the fretless action offers a very expressive, sliding feel.
The Kala split coil pickup provides a surprisingly strong output, but may benefit from a preamp for louder stages or heavier genres.
While the stock Kala roundwounds are decent, experimenting with other roundwound or even tapewound strings can further customize the tone.
