£650

Pete made me this 5 string Bass Uke some time ago. It is a thing of joy but I am just not using it qand could usefully put the money into a bass guitar I am having extensive work done on at the moment. Pete has said that he will never make another. It is tuned BEADG. I would like £900 for it. I am happy to courier at cost. Yes, the shiny things on the neck are LEDs. Everyone needs a bit of glamour now and again. It has the one vol knob and a tone control on the control plate that needs a screwdriver. It seemed a shame to put more knobs on the front than needed. It has all the hallmarks of a Howlett but with lower notes. It has a Fishman piezo and an East Piezo buffer pre.

It sounds like this https://soundcloud.c...ns/howlett-demo

Here are some other examples of his work

I'm very aware!

What's the scale length?

Imagine reading a post about an item you want to sell and then forgetting to answer. The scale length is 22 3/4 inches. Thanks.

For that amount of money, you could buy six old bangers and drive them all to the Nurburgring ...

Does that include fuel and breakdown cover?

My chosen weapon is Bass (Weapon of GAS distraction) so I have no gun stuff going on, but a rifle case would make a great hard case.

Works for me.

$240 plus courier plus import duty & VAT, but you end up with a case that would survive a nuclear attack, has room for at least three uke basses, and is likely to get you taken down by a Tactical SWAT team as you enter the pub where you're playing.

We need more of this thinking.

:D
