Mini basses.
« on: October 03, 2010, 04:26:08 PM »
Found these on a japanese blog.

A Samik mini T-Bird.


A Fernandes mini MockingBird. And a Fender mini P.


Blog link: http://freeandeasy.blog.hobidas.com

This is a KB Mini-Beelze with built in amp. From a japanese company called Killer. I think this is a discontinued model.

Looks like they'd sell at least three birds if we can only find 'em!

From what I read, this mini bird was offer by Samick in Japan in the early 90s. Only way to find them know is by searching through japanese auction websites.

I did a quick search with google japan and found only one on japanese yahoo auctions, but that was already sold for 15.500 yen. I think that is about a little less than 190 us dollars.

I'd like one too.
But can't find any

Would a mandobird with thick strings work, perhaps?

I don't think so, Mandos are 18"-20" scale or something, thats too short. But aren't they cool? :D
