Hey folks...I'm selling my Chowny SWB-1 Bass. This is a 30.75" scale 4 string loaded with EMG pickups and 2 band pre. The string spacing is 18mm...weight is about 9 pounds, and it's a joy to play. If you dig short scale basses, give this one a serious look. Sound is huge, playability is a dream. Another bass I have wanted has just become available, so this one needs to move. It's a month old, and it's seen one gig.
Here's some info from the Chowny website:
Traditionally 'short scale bass' has largely been associated with student basses and limited, muddy tones - not any more! The SWB-1 Scott Whitley Signature is a professional, modern-sounding short scale bass affordable to everyone. The SWB-1 Scott Whitley Signature is an incredibly flexible bass and suits any style of playing - from growly traditional through to scooped, hi-fi slap tones and everything in between. Made of Ash, with a choice of finishes it is available passive or active (with genuine EMG EQ system) so there's an SWB-1 to suit everyone. The angled pickups make for a more natural transition from low to high strings - the low strings stay nice and focused whilst keeping the higher strings fuller-sounding.
The 30.75" scale & beautifully slim yet substantial neck feel instantly easy & natural to play without stretching. The high mass chrome bridge provides 18mm string spacing which aids faster, easier playing without feeling too unfamiliar when coming from the 19mm spacing used on most bigger basses. The simple yet elegant body shape is extremely comfortable with it's smooth rounded edges.
I'm looking for $565 OBO shipped, paypal. The bass does not come with a case or bag. I do have the original shipping boxes.
This is a serious bass that's priced $125 less than new (with shipping from the UK).
Thanks for looking!
