Uke-Scale Bass

Audiovox Uke Bass

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.

I got side-tracked onto this, and at risk of turning this into a furniture thread, I think it's worth sharing. This is just a box. It was motivated by two things:

  1. I often find I am filing something ( like a pickguard ) across the front edge of the workbench - a very awkward angle. I've ruined the natural spot - the right corner - with the vise - worthwhile.
  2. I need a place to store my growing collection of templates, which is getting pretty heavy.
