Laka Bass Ukuleles

The Laka Ukulele range from JHS has really made name for itself in recent years as a highly playable, tonally responsive range of ukuleles with great specification and features. Having secured the endorsement of none less than Joe Brown with a pair of Signature instruments, Laka now release their very first Bass Ukuleles built to the same exacting standards, available from all good music stores.

Laka Bass Uke – Koa

The VUB90EA’s (£269 UK rrp) acacia koa body is set off elegantly with the black binding and abalone rosette, and its fretless rosewood fingerboard is easy to play thanks to the Aquilla bass uke strings and providing an almost ‘double bass’ feel. The Fishman Clásica II preamp system perfectly captures its unique tones.
