The Harley Benton Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele is a compact acoustic bass instrument designed in a traveller-size format, combining ukulele proportions with standard bass tuning. It features a spruce top paired with mahogany back, sides, and neck, creating a lightweight body measuring approximately 85 cm in total length. The instrument uses a short 534 mm (21-inch) scale length with 20 frets and an ovangkol fingerboard, maintaining full E–A–D–G bass tuning within a reduced playing area.

The construction is centred around a small-bodied acoustic design intended to produce low-frequency response using specialised synthetic strings, typically supplied by Aquila. The combination of spruce and mahogany is chosen to balance clarity and warmth, while the short scale length reduces string tension and contributes to a softer feel. The neck follows a “C” profile, and the compact body depth enhances portability while retaining structural stability.

The electronics consist of a built-in pickup system with an integrated tuner, allowing the instrument to be amplified for performance or recording. Hardware includes an ovangkol bridge, black open-gear tuning machines, and a 42 mm nut width. The Natural Matte finish is applied as a satin coating that highlights the wood grain while maintaining a subdued appearance, with the overall design focused on portability and hybrid acoustic-electric functionality.
