Bump. A buddy of mine has one and he loves it. It is a short scale, right?

[kesslari]

Play this and the cougars will love you for it.

[wacko hatrack]

Hallelujah... Hallelujah...Hallelujah...

[Plastic Bass]

Is it a short scale? 30 or 31?

[Winnb]

Hmmm... Thinking... Thinking.... What's written on the pick guard?

you cant just move the bridge... the frets are spaced to a specific scale length..

watch out....fret police

Such a sweet bass... I just feel like an ogre playing a short scale.

A big bump to one of the greatest, most honest (and funny) guys on Talkbass! Wacko & I just completed a transaction that sorely tested the limits of patience on both our ends. It seemed that everything was going against us, and he kept trudging along, went WAY out of his way to make it work. Including taking time off of work, taking an extremely long drive, and still maintaining the utmost integrity. In fact his honesty cost him a lot of money!
You can't go wrong buying from the Wack! And I feel as if I made a great new friend at the same time, we've had some wonderful talks!
(I'm going to post this on all his ads, so excuse the redundancy..)

It seems like in life as you travel through it...that you get a little or a lot jaded by some hurt/bad people...that they take a piece at time some of that innocence you are born with...and it wears you down. But just when things get a little cloudy...there comes a ray of sunshine...here's an awesome guy I didn't know from Adam and they give you back a little of your innocence , a little piece of your smile. His name is GaryLC . TalkBass has some pretty awesome humans/bass players/cat lovers/dog lovers here, we should all be really proud to have and to belong here. PEACE: ): ): ): ): )

Free bump to say that on a fretted bass if you move the bridge from the original position (allowing for intonation, of course) you'll still have a bass scaled as it was designed that will play wildly out of tune. That could be cool if you like that sort of thing, but twice the distance from the nut to the 12th fret dictates the "correct" scale length.

[wacko hatrack]

I understand that fully...it's just that for someone to tell you what you can and can't do is so lame...I mean what about the spirit of experimentation...doing something crazy for a different sound and feel to get you to look and play differently...that's what I'm talking about. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice...Man!

[markjazzbassist]

what are the extra switches for? did you do the mods or did you get it that way?

[wacko hatrack]

Hi the extra switches are pick up shut off switches and I got the bass that way....which I was told was all original. Cheers
