    NBD - short scale sterling stingray

    Yeah, I’m really glad I modded it. It had good bones out of the box but definitely needed some work, and I think the mods put it in a different league. I swapped the tuners for Schaller BMs, which are a huge upgrade. I didn’t think the stock pickup was terrible, but I replaced it with a...

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    I also have a sorta NBD (I’ve actually had it a couple of months): a vintage stone logo Fernandes P Bass short scale, made in Japan by Kawai in 1978. They’re pretty rare—I’ve only seen two online and one of them was this one. I got it from my trade buddy on the other side of the country...

    The Tokai Club

    Mustang string weight

    Don’t have anything to add on the strings—my one short scale is strung with DTFs, the other with Chromes and both are good options—but that bass is hot!
