Think that if the amp is rescueable then tracking down another speaker from Jim bergantino might be a better bet. I'm half tempted to explore it further

Do it for me!
If anyone is handy with a soldering iron there is a dead Berg IP310 on ebay at the moment which has a potentially really nice plate amp in it that has a "blown power stage due to water/ liquid ingress ".

I am totally going to build a solid bodied Ukebass with Pyramid metal strings with a body which will look like the fat baby of a Les Paul and a Ritter single cut. All lush curves made from a piece of Burr Elm. I have actually designed it in my head a few years ago but knew I would never have the skills. Excited I am.
My guess would be that the strings on it would be fine to at least get a flavour. The E would go down a 3rd, the A would go down a tone, the D does not move and the G goes up a tone. All things considered, not a huge change in tension.
I have an early Kingston 5. I have owned an awful lot of basses. 35+? I lost count. Many have been eye-wateringly expensive. 90% of them have gone and I still have the Kingston. It is light, the neck is sublime and it is a joy to play. I cannot comment on the more recent ones, but mine is just the bomb.
I just reviewed everything I have ever bought from Thomann, got a 50 Euro voucher and picked up the BZ 6000 for £180 so I will report back with string spacing.
My daughter has outgrown her Flea bass. It is lurid green with a pink scratchplate. 30" scale (is that short scale?). It is in VGC and comes with a gig bag. I will get pics and stuff up later, but am doing this while I remember. Price is to your door.

Congrats.
I'm a fan of Harley B basses. Just been playing my 6 er....and cured my gas for another bass ( temporarily I suspect).

Thread derial. Sorry.
Is your bass the BZ-6000? If so, what is the string spacing like?
Ta.

Blueboard is well worth it!

Is the expression pedal input on the Blueboard for a bog standard http://basschat.co.uk/topic/242160-moog-ep-2-expression-pedal-l25-delivered/ kind of thing or is it some fancy-dan continuous midi controller thang?
I am flogging the definitive book on how to write a fugue here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243517-books/ if you ever fancied knowing how to write one. I would love to tell you that it got me through my degree, but I failed this unit. However this was more to do with my application than the book itself
