Uke-Scale 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 found this old cartoon in a box in the attic and decided to preserve it here. I actually went to rocket science school, for what it is worth.
