edstraker123 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This looks quite nice and a decent price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-String-Mini-Short-Scale-21-Scale-Electric-Bass/333798535695?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) There's a few things that scream cheap Chinese build quality on this... the headstock finish is rough, the through body ferrules are odd, the tuners are the 'hipshot' fakes you find on real cheap Eastern copies and the spacing is a little off. If it stays at £50 its probably worth a punt, with 5 days left it'll probably jump. Any more than £50/£60 I think you'd be disappointed with it!

edstraker123 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes I think you're right - wouldn't go much higher than the current price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Only about £30 more for a new one off AliExpress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I am thinking of buying one off Ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MiNi-5string-ukulele-electric-bass-neck-thru-Ukelele-Uke/363051228775?hash=item54878a1e67%3Ag%3AX98AAOSwH0Vb5F06&LH_All=1) and messing with it to make a very small Bass Guitar. Do any of you have actual direct experience with these? I can live with rough edges because my supreme lutherie skills are up to it. I own sandpaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
