Uke-Scale Bass

Basses built with a uke scale length of 21 inches.


This bass is a 21" scale, with a piezo saddle mounted in an adjustable bridge. The soundhole is just for looks. The strings are metal-wound Kalas. The fretboard is cut out of the ugliest piece of wood I ever received. For such a small neck, I managed to cut around most of the ugly, and the result isn't half bad.


21" neck, adjustable bridge with piezo saddle, active electronics. EBay body. Now has metal-wound strings.


Several years ago, I did a lot of work with WordPress. It was no bed of roses then, but it was usable. You could design a nice site and then hand it off to less-skilled ( read: cheaper ) people to maintain, and that model worked very well for a business.
