My Ubass


I love playing bass and miss my basses terribly. I stumbled across directions for making a ubass from a cheap 3/4 size guitar. I made the conversion and now actually have a bass to play. It's not amplified yet, but I"m looking at a tiny amp just to give it a boost. It seems to be fine the way it is.
It has a small scale for a bass, more like a ukulele although it's a modern creation. There never was an instrument known as a bass ukulele until Kala started making them based on a baritone uke body. I liked the idea of using a guitar body since I thought it might have more sound.
