Short scale 5 string at GC - Page 4

I found one at my local GC also. Bought it, played it for a couple weeks, and took it back. I'm now regretting my rash decision...

Dude, you found one in blue??? Never seen one, that must have been the rarest one yet. Still nothing on the EST/LTD website about these killer basses (or any other sites).

Been looking for another one to maybe convert to fretless!

I just saw one of these for the first time. I wanted to get it just for the cartoon effect of me playing it. (I'm 6' 8"l

Didn't play it plugged in, but it seemed like a nice little bass. The string spacing seemed like my schecter

Floppy B string I tried one yesterday. I should bring a device to measure the P pickups on I and see what size it would take to replace it with a quality set.
I wonder If a tapered B would be less
Floppy?

There's one in my local GC too. Theyre really cool basses. I want to buy it just to see the reaction I get when I show up to a show haha. It's so tiny

tuBass · #67 11-19-2012, 07:25 AM

I'd get one if they were not so darn ugly! solid black? is that all you got?

Immigrant · #68 11-19-2012, 07:53 AM

I think I'd opt for a Kala U-Bass before buying one of these.

I just got back from GC, where I had a good look at the 4-string model. It had too much relief in its neck.

Otherwise, it appeared to be a better looking Ibanez clone.

I just saw them on-line on a website called 'woodwinds and brasswinds' or something to that effect. I would have copied it down but I didn't think I'd need it again. You all have convinced me to go to GC and take a look.

I just ran across one of these tonight at my local GC. Interesting!

SBsoundguy · #72 01-24-2013, 10:03 PM

I played the same one at GC earlier last year. The size of it really caught my eye. It felt as if I was playing a guitar, but it was really fun and comfortable. If I had some disposable income i'd pick it up, but sadly I don't.

Roadkill · #73 01-25-2013, 10:44 AM

I wish it was available in non-black on the website

I've played the four and five string versions of this bass. It's a fun little instrument. I think it would make a killer short scale piccolo bass.

Buzter · #75 01-27-2013, 03:19 PM

Played a 4 string today. Tomorrow is my bday so I will be snagging one.

**HeavyDuty** · #76 02-07-2013, 08:32 PM

Messed around with the fiver again tonight at the store. I would have grabbed it, but it would need some work to be really playable - lots of fret sprout, needs a neck pocket shim, etc. I may still grab it.

The B was surprisingly good given the ridiculously short scale.

**Ric5** · #77 02-07-2013, 08:46 PM

I saw one of those at the local GC ... the neck was bowed badly ... it needed adjustment from being in the dry climate here in Denver.

fjadams · #78 02-07-2013, 10:40 PM

Also played one at GC, and decided to get it. Not bad, but the intonation on this one is off, and I can't seem to get it right. When I get the flats for it, I'll try again.

Come spring I'll be stripping the nasty black off the body and redoing it with a more presentable color.

This bass actually has a great feel, unbelievable sound, 24 frets that doesn't feel like they are crammed in it's short 30" scale and I actually wanted to take it home with me but I'm saving up for a CARVIN LB75W CLARO WALNUT SERIES 5-STRING BASS...YUMMY!!!

pcake · #80 03-04-2013, 02:54 PM

i was just playing another one at gc on saturday, and it feels pretty good. btw, its scale is less than 30" - about the same as the mikro.
