I assumed it was a Vito bass you had. As it's an alto it's much easier to handle!

You can always convert it into a two piece by having a tenon cork slot cut into the tenon (if you have access to a lathe), but leave a ring of plastic no less than 3mm in width at either end for stability (the cork slot being cut to a depth of around 1mm maximum in between). There's nothing worse than a wobbly middle tenon on any instrument.
