    I do not know why the KZread algorithm suggested this to me, but I watched it all, without skipping any part. This instrument is a piece of art, hopefully it will find its way into the hands of a virtuoso player, where it will shine.

    I think uke basses are one of the coolest instruments. As a professional cabinetmaker and a woodworking teacher you chose some very unconventional ways to do things. Those braces look way heavier than they need to be - there would be a lot more acoustic sound with lighter bracing. The end result though must say was pretty good.

    A lovely build. Two things. First fitting the dovetail so it is UNDER the top (rather than cut into it) makes life miserable for a repair person if a neck reset is ever needed - probably unlikely with low tension. Second, I wish you had given a shout out to my old friend Nigel Thronbory and his colleague Al Ashworth, who devised the orginal solid body version (the Ashbory bass) and perfected the 'rubber' strings and the tuners. The bass went through a number of big makers (with various quality control criteria), none of whom really made a success of it, but it has a dedicated cult following.
