DIY Bass Ukulele

Just because I don’t have enough projects on the go 😉 I’ve started making a bass ukulele. I call it a μ-bass.

The body is an old Port Wine box. Since this wasn’t glued I’ve run Titebond around all the joints so they don’t buzz. The neck is a old piece of mahogany that has been lying around for 20 years. I bought some bass guitar tuners on eBay – I’ll need to make the slots bigger. Soundboard will be birch plywood.

Progress so far
