The Kala Metal Round Wound strings continue to be a favorite among U•BASS® players that like the familiar feel of metal strings. Available in 4 and 5 string sets, this unique set is constructed of a nylon core with silver-plated windings. These round wound strings provide a warm booming tone that the U•BASS® is known for. The strings are specifically constructed for the Kala U•BASS® to provide the player with extreme playability and accurate intonation. They feature lower tension compared to traditionally built bass strings, which gives them a great feel and makes them easy on the fingers:

• Fits all Round Wound set-up Kala U•BASS® Instruments*
• 4-String Set includes: EADG
• 5-String set includes: BEADG
• Louder acoustic option than the original polyurethane strings
• Designed for the traditional bass tuning (EADG)
• Suitable for 20“ - 21" Scale
• Original string set on the UBASS-WNDR-FS, UBASS-JYMN-FS, UBASS-JYMN-BK-FS, and UBASS-EBY-FSRW

*Please note for use on polyurethane string U•BASS® setups, the instrument will need a new, compatible nut to accommodate these strings. Kala Metal Round Wound U•Bass Strings have a lower gauge that is too thin for the nut slots on a U•BASS® pre-fit for Polyurethane strings. This can cause buzzing on open string notes. It's recommended that a nut designed for the round wound strings is used. You can purchase one here: U•BASS TUSQ Nut - 4 String (RW). / U•BASS TUSQ Nut - 5 String (RW). Please note that a nut swap should always be performed by an experienced instrument technician for best results. Due to the change to a higher tension as well, a truss rod adjustment is also recommended.
