New addition to the “collection”. Bought a Hagstrom Swede Bass on Saturday. Second toggle adjusts tone. Tone controls are push/pull for humbucker/single coil. Volume controls appear to be linked in that turning one down to zero turns both off. 30.75” scale (I liked the idea of another short...

A new addition. A Fender Dimension, Made in June 2017 apparently. Stock photo, but identical to mine.

I have a couple of Burns reissues as far as basses are concerned.

I occasionally like a short scale for a change. I have an old Futurama 6 string that needs some serious TLC. I have two usable short scale. An Epiphone EB-0 and a Burns SJB. My Hagstrom 8 string (posted elsewhere) is 31” scale if that counts. Stock photos for clarity!

Yes, it is 34” scale.

My two 8 String basses (excuse the Stock Photos).

Does anyone play one of these? I have a Warwick and a Hagstrom (retro look version) which I use from time to time in the Church Music Group I play in. I just wondered who else liked the format.

Being the only Bass Player in the Church, I get to play every Sunday morning plus special services as required. Having purchased a Sterling Music Man Stingray (3 Band EQ 9 volt) a week last Monday I gave it an outing last Sunday and was impressed with the sound on the Church Bass Amp - a Trace...

My only Sterling, purchased last week (Monday). Great sounding bass with the 3 Band EQ (9 volt). Best to avoid playing it in direct sunlight as it can dazzle!

My only Ibanez, bought last year.

The latest addition to my “collection”. It sounded superb last Sunday (first outing since buying it the previous Monday) with the Church Music Group through the Trace Elliot Combo there (15” speaker). 3 Band EQ (9 volt).

A new addition to the “collection”. I bought a Burns 6 string bass (short scale) last month and liked it so much I went for a Burns Marquee long scale 4 string. Stock photos of both basses! The 4 string is a bit of beast, it is a few inches longer than my Fender Precision!
