Hi all. I am thinking of buying a Kala U-Bass of ebay. I'm in Australia and it is on the Australian ebay site.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kala-U-...683922?hash=item3af95c6052:g:xmwAAOSwy0JaHP~c
From what I can tell it is one of the old u-bass' with the passive pick up. The owner has installed his/her own active pick up which has included installing tone and volume knobs on the sound board.
My question was whether drilling through the soundboard like this would compromise the uke at all? It's always hard when someone has 'customised' a musical instrument so I thoguht I woudl get some advice
It's the solid spruce model which Sweetwater has for $460 and this one is $300 with the possibility to offer lower. I'd look to get it for $260. All figures are in USD.
For that kind of price I thought it might be worth a punt?
