    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    Do you still have that Dean Hillsboro short scale base you mention a lot earlier on here? Do you still like it? What color did you get? Is it a 30" scale? I was looking at them online today.

    Thank you. I understand. It is Guitar Center selling it. I am still waiting to hear from them. Amazing how I see store employees standing around doing nothing and nobody could answer an email in one whole day LOL I don't care about the brand or a decal as long as it is a good neck and no...
