petebassist Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi, What's the scale length on these? I looked on the KK website but I couldn't find it - is it similar to a typical 3/4 acoustic upright (41 1/4 inch or so). Also, what strings have you got on & have you tried different strings? I understand these basses have to have steel strings for the mag pick up. I saw this review of a KB1 with a 'jazz setup', but there's no detail about what that actually means.

Dazed Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi Pete It is 41.5" scale so 3/4 length. I'm not sure what the strings are to be honest. They may well be the ones supplied by KK. I never got around to trying different strings as it was my first time with an EUB so I used it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Not got around to playing one of these yet. Wish you were a bit closer, so I could have a try Do they sound very DB-like? Or are they more like a big fretless Bass Guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I would say it's much more upright like than fretless bass, with the added bonus of no feedback due to the installed pickup. It's a shame as I frequently travel to and from South Wales ! However the Babybass is now sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
