This is my first UBass Build. I've had the parts for over a year but just finally got around to putting them together just before Christmas. My intentions were to build it with a 20" scale length but when i started cutting the slots for frets I grabbed a printout I used for another build for a Baritone Uke with scale length of 23".I had it completely built and was playing around with it through an amp before I noticed the Octave 12th fret was no where near where it should be. Luckily the strings were long enough and I had enough room to move the bridge 3"!! Im pretty happy with it now. (These pics were taken before I lengthened the scale)

I sandwiched the piezo's between layers of an absorbant pad, (the kind used for chemical / oil spills) to soften the harshness a bit and it worked pretty well.
