[quote name='JimD' post='1109403' date='Jan 31 2011, 01:17 PM']Hi there Any pics of the inside? Is it heavy? Whereabouts are you located? JimD[/quote] I will do pics of the inside tonight, but it is just bare wood and rivets and stuff. It needs the foam It is certainly not the heaviest flight case I have owned and balances well. I am in Bangor, North Wales.

It is the second one - all solid mahogany. It seems to be almost out of the door so I don't know if I will actually make it to the pictures phase I'm afraid. [quote name='Stuee' post='1109479' date='Jan 31 2011, 02:23 PM']Hi Owen, Which model is this please? There are two fretted models and a substantial difference in list price: KA-UBASS2-FS (Fretted) £365.00 KA-UBASS1-FS (Fretted) £445.00 Does it have a case? (EDIT: Oops, sub-title says it comes with HSC). Where are you situated? Patiently awaiting pics Cheers, Stuee.[/quote]

[quote name='k-sad' post='1108686' date='Jan 30 2011, 09:12 PM']Looks nice for the money... How is the neck (looks rather "jazz" than "p")[/quote] I guess more Jazz, yes. Spacing is MM5 esque. I would keep it quite happily, and if it does not shift I will not be sad. However I actually have too many instruments which serve the same purpose.

It is old and mucky and will not win any prizes in a beauty contest. However, it will stop your precious axe from getting knackered when your guitarist's Marshall head falls on it. It has no internal foam at all so you will need to provide that. [attachment=70436:IMG_0898.JPG] [attachment=70435:IMG_0897.jpg]

Just pointing to this where I am selling my Ubass, cos it does the EUB thing, innit. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120863"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120863[/url]

I am selling my Kala ubass. Have I fallen out of love with it? No, it is just that the 5 string bass uke that I commissioned is nearly ready and I need to realise some capital. Having a collection of uke basses seems excessive! These threads will tell you more about it than I can here - vids and all. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93168&hl=Kala"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93168&hl=Kala[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=60595&hl=Kala"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=60595&hl=Kala[/url] £270 delivered I will get pics up soon.

This is one of the ones that came up regularly on Ebay about 4 years ago. I bought it on a complete punt and loved it. I then put a pair of EMG 45 TW pickups in it which did not work. By the time I discovered that they did not work it was a bit late because I had routed it for them. I then put a pair of Vilex custom wound big fat P soapbars into it. It now speaks with a voice of authority. The controls are Vol/Vol/Villex mid thing/Tone. The Villex mid thing is this if you are not familiar with it - 'All Villex pickups come with a built in mid-tone circuit and an external pot which allows to gradually change the sound character from vintage to slap. It's like having several pickups instead of one!' It is entirely passive. At the moment it has a Piezo bridge loaded onto it. It is my intention to take it off and load it on to another bass, but if you want it then I will leave it on for another £50. It needs a pre-amp for the piezos. The piezo has a separate jack socket on the side, so there are 2 jacks on it at the moment. I would leave the side jack in, but it would not be connected to anything. I honestly cannot remember what the body is I'm afraid [attachment=70424:IMG_0865.JPG] [attachment=70425:IMG_0866.JPG] [attachment=70426:IMG_0867.JPG] [attachment=70427:IMG_0868.jpg] It is really nice with a B that speaks as easily as the rest of the bass. If it is so good, why am I selling? I have too many basses and I am going to put three or four up. I have more than I need and that is silly.

Settling in nicely [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120144"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120144[/url]

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1100131' date='Jan 23 2011, 09:16 PM']No worries, Owen. According to Eubassix, this is the only bass he's ever done ...[/quote] Phew. Crisis averted. OCD equilibrium restored.

Bravewood's site says that he is not taking orders at the moment, just building what he fancies and selling as it goes. Maybe an email might tempt him, who knows. Crinson. Who they?
