Really small bass. No, REALLY small bass £350

[Owen]

I bought this new as a 5 string Uke. I have always wanted to try the super short scale thing. I put proper machine heads on it because the originals were made of cheese. You can see the origianal screw holes. Jez (Jabba_the_gut)(he is a wood whisperer) did all the hardcore woodwork which needed doing to turn it into a properly functioning instrument. The reality is that a 21" scale length is just too short for the B to work. But I had to try. If you fancy a 5 string strung E to C at proper bass pitch, then this is it. If you fancy one of those new fangled octave up basses strung B to G then this is it. It is properly set up and is frankly a lot of fun as well as sounding like a proper bass - until you get to the bottom B. It has the same preamp as it originally had when it was a 5 string Bass Uke. Vol/bass/mid/treble. The vol has a center detent in it. Crazy. Fancy it you know you do!

Mahalo??

 

I had one for less than a day - terrible build quality - I'm absolutely sure that Jezza did his magic on it and made it playable....

I think it is a Maholo, yes. Mine was obviously built on a different day from your's This one is all good and Jez did add the finishing touches.
