These are replacement strings for Kala's acoustic-electric U•BASS: chrome steel flatwound tape over a nylon core, in standard EADG tuning for 20 to 21 inch scale instruments. The flatwound surface is smooth under the fingers and is meant to add warmth and a double-bass-like timbre while reducing fretboard and neck wear. They are high tension, so expect a firmer, more upright-style feel than the stock roundwounds. They fit fretted and fretless U•BASS models, but the thicker gauges can need nut slot and string hole work.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 164 ratings, buyers largely report a warmer, smoother-playing U•BASS with a more upright-like voice. The main friction points are the higher tension and the fitting work the thicker strings can demand.
The Kala Flatwound U•BASS 4-String Set by Gallistrings is made with chrome steel wrapped around a nylon core. The strings are high tension and have a timbre and feel similar to a double bass. The set is designed for fast, stable intonation and adds warmth and consistency to the sound.
The chrome flatwound tape is smooth to the touch, so fingers glide along the fretboard. It also helps protect the neck from wear. The set works on fretted or fretless acoustic-electric U•BASS instruments.
This set is only for acoustic-electric U•BASS instruments and is not for use on solid body U•BASS models. The nut slots and string holes may need modification by an experienced instrument technician. A Flat Wound U•BASS Nut by TUSQ is available as an alternative to modifying the existing nut, and it should be installed by a technician only. Because the tension is higher, a truss rod adjustment is also recommended. Modifications performed by the user void the manufacturer warranty.
