SHORT SCALE BASS GUITAR

This short-scale (30 inches) bass guitar was inspired by my work restoring vintage, Japanese instruments.

The bass is comparatively light-weight and compact, making it extremely comfortable (as well as great fun) to play.

As with all of my instruments, the bass is built using the finest materials and components, as well as the highest level of craftsmanship.

Two key features are the set neck and a custom bridge with 17mm spacing and strings running through the body. Both features enhance the overall sound of the instrument.

The whole design and build process can be seen in this series of YouTube videos.

The one shown here is the first built which I made for myself and enjoy playing everyday! If you’re interested in your own custom-built version, please feel free to contact me.
