    My short scale strings are too short for my short scale bass

    Thanks to all for the help. Groove appears to do their sales only through Ebay, where I promptly (and mistakenly) picked the P2024 instead of the short scale EG2030.

    My short scale strings are too short for my short scale bass

    My short scale strings are too short for my short scale bass

    I picked up a short scale Precision from Groove, a company in Quebec. I bought some LaBella flats (760FS-S), started putting them on, and saw that the metal stopped a fret and a half short of the nut - silk the rest of the way.

    G&L C&F Research L-1000 vs. G&L Shortscales

    I recently watched reviews of the L-1000 (Lobster and Bully) and thought it sounded beautiful. Are there *any* G&L shortscales which - in your ears - sound as nice? Or come close? Thank. Jon

    Can I "train" for a Fender precision with a Squier Classic Vibe Precision?

    I aspire to an American Precision someday. If I get a used Squier CV Precision, will it give me an effective, accurate preview of a top-line Fender? If not, what would I be missing out on? Thanks, Jon

    Heavy Bass Club. Greater then 10 lbs

    My 12 pound Harley Benton jazz copy is unplayable for me. It's a really nice guitar, but it's helping my spinal stenosis to thrive.
