petebassist Posted April 8, 2016 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 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.
Dazed Posted September 2, 2016 Author Posted September 2, 2016 Finally some pics. Also comes KK supplied soft case.

drewk_ie Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Still awaiting a reply to my pm, is this bass sold?
sblueplanet Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I like the look of this being a wee fella. Is postage a possibility?
Dazed Posted October 19, 2016 Author Posted October 19, 2016 Bump. Collection or possible delivery depending on location. I am willing to travel to meet up too.
Marc S Posted December 8, 2016 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?
Dazed Posted December 8, 2016 Author 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.
