It’s very close to the Blackstar Carry-On Travel Bass: Carry-on ST Bass Black - Blackstar
I have the Blackstar, it’s much cheaper and I’m very happy with it. Ok, I made some modifications, but - to be honest - it was OK before…
It’s the one on the left:
On the right you can see the Kala U-Bass Journeyman…
beautiful, sounds great and very interesting build. but (unless they already jacked them up) not as crazy cheap as he makes them out to be, starting at $1700. 30" scale.
Ok it was shipped last Wednesday and the next thing I know I was asked to pay for the import tax. Then I came home and I got this.
23” scale 24 frets with zero fret neck through single cut super awesome bass. I just had five minutes on this bass and so far the Dogal string worth the $130. It sounds just as good as the normal bass and feels just as good (tension) as regular round wound string which is a big ask.
Definitely needs to calibrate my playing to fit the scale, lol. Also kudos to Delano Xtender double twins. Imma figured out the way to put on my other basses. 
Just in case you missed this.
The video he used the regular string to do all of the setup then before shipping he installed the Dogal strings.
What a beauty and very unique too! Absolutely nuts to see how much labor went into it.
Yeah! He told me that’s why he edited with less speed up video almost all real time.
Hopefully I get to put some video up this weekend. It’s everything I love about UBass but much much closer experience to the real bass feel. Also the bends only take slight effort since it’s a super short scale just a little nudge does the job.
Congrats, @Al1885, that’s very coo!
Thanks @MikeC
I just have to remember to do vey little wiggle to get huge bending notes, we are so program to exaggerate a lot to get some notes to bend, this one is just a flick and it’s up,
Just spent the last 45 minutes playing and I’m just loving the deep deep notes I’m very impress with the quality of the string. It doesn’t do anything extra but it does exactly as advertised, to sound just like the full scale set of string. Very impressive. Hopefully I’d get to crank up the volume a bit so I can see how this bass can perform.
That’s gorgeous, Al! Congrats!
so great 
Late to the party, but until I bought the '63 Hofner Artist I hadn’t even held a short scale bass. I didn’t really see the point of them, to be honest, but now that I’ve had a few hours with it I am… well, not converted, but certainly a foot in each camp now. That’s the long and the short of it. (haha).
The only issue I’ve had with it so far is that as I’m working through the middle of the course again (with a view to finally complete it) I have found some of the pieces so far up the neck that the notes are harder to play for my currently soft & weedy fingers.
I’m now looking into building a hybrid shorty from scratch - or maybe some sort of Frankensteination of a cheap long scale bass. Just for fun.
This is the Artist, in case you hadn’t seen it elsewhere on the forums. You’re unlikely to have come across one in the wild, and not much more likely to have even seen one online. Overshadowed by its cousin, the 500/1 (aka Beatles bass), which I also want to have a play with.
OCD kicking in: What you marked as the bridge is not the bridge, it’s the tailpiece. The bridge is the bar behind the bridge humbucker. And I am pretty sure it will measure exactly 30" from the nut 
People say that the scale is bridge to nut but that’s not really accurate, it’s saddles to nut.
@Al1885 that’s a beautiful bass.
@Al1885: That is one very cool bass!!!
I have two questions:
@Al1885 can tell you for certain, but I am sure it’s like my EHBs. On the neck end there’s clamps to hold the strings, and on the bridge end are the tuners. You can see for each string a wheel, I assume you turn the wheel to the right or left to tune the string. My Ibanez EHBs have a wheel to turn, and they are so precise, more so than the traditional headstock tuners.
The mechanism will have some differences, but overall this will give an idea how it works
Cool! Is it possible to purchase those kinds of clamps somewhere?
It’s something like this, right?
Yeah, something like that. Steinberger’s system normally uses a double ball string, a ball on either end of the string which then gets stretched to tension. This seems to change it so that you can use any strings; i.e. no more double balls.
