Wee bargain bass returns!

[steviedee]

Got the wee bass I found the barras market in Glasgow back from the luthier, fixed the crack replaced the bridge and planed the fretboard.

Imho it looks great, apparently its bigger than a 1/4 body but smaller than 1/2. The luthier, who was brilliant, really liked it he had a cheaper version of the bass and a local jazzer has an almost identical bass, so he was knocked that there were three in such close proximity.

Obviously it has a smaller body so less bass but it still packs a punch and I reckon amplified it will rock, and you can take it on the bus

Hi stevie, that does look quite nice. The low bridge position makes it look like quite a long scale for its body size - what's the string length like? Did you go with Ken in Portobello for the repairs then?

[steviedee]

It's like a 1/4 size body but the string length is 1/2, and I went to Ken who I can't recommend highly enough!
