Bass Ukes have been with us for some time now, but the difference with this one is that it uses custom steel strings and a magnetic pickup rather than the Poly strings and Piezo more commonly found on other bass Ukes. This gives a more traditional electric bass sound and opens up techniques which would not sound so good on Poly strings and Piezo pickup. And it does that while still delivering lots of low end bass.

It also differs from other bass Ukes in its extravagance! This one has a 5 piece Maple and Honduran Mahogany neck through design, with Burr Maple top, Honduran Mahogany back and Maple accent in the middle.

All the hardware is by Gotoh and the pickup is a Delano Xtender, chosen for it’s great tone and also for it’s funky shape to go with the rest of the instrument.

The whole instrument is finished off in a dazzling high gloss, with the book matched Maple top and headstock face in Red, which adds some nice contrast and ties in with the Mahogany laminates and back.

Please remember, any of our models can be specified with a different number of strings, scale length, frets, pickups or anything else for that matter! Also we offer the option for you to design your very own unique guitar or bass with your own body shape and specifications.
