I've kind of blown these off in the past seeing them in music stores, they just looked like toys. I had an artist send me a song to mix where they used one of these Kala U-Bass guitars with the rubber polyurethane stings and was surprised it worked so well. I decided to give one a try and it's been really great. It's still a bit of a niche instrument and probably will not get used a lot, but it's pretty great when called for. You're not going to get this type of sound out of another bass as easily.
Here's my review. I have a couple of full song samples where I used it. I also show an example of mic'ing it up and using it in conjunction with the built in pickup. You can get close to upright bass territory in a pinch blending the two together. They're pretty affordable, so definitely worth it to add to the studio instrument lineup without breaking the bank. The basic models cost about as much as a guitar pedal...
