    Nickel/Iron Alloy 52 in Short Scale?

    I have these coming to compare with GHS Bal Ni. The metal blend may not be what you’re looking for. Curt Mangan 45-105 Rickenbacker Nickel Wound Bass Strings

    I think I got a deal?

    For the win! Let us know how it is - I am a big Lakland fan but never touched a US model.

    P bass purists: can a short scale P ever REALLY sound like a regular P?

    I searched pretty hard for that answer and am very happy where I landed. Good luck on your journey! My Lakland HH30 with GHS balanced nickels scratches my never ending P itch extremely well. Pickup is a little hot so I dial it back a touch. My JMJ stang with flats scratches a very similar P...

    Our 10yo bassist outgrown her mini bass, which bass should she get?

    Lakland HH 30. (It’s actually 30.25, fyi). Great instrument, lots of versatility and a wonderful Lakland neck.

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    Love, love, love it. Been waiting for its release. Perfect balance, 8.9 lbs, that great Lakland neck (plek’d), and really great tone and tonal options. Solid build, excellent quality. I am a big Lakland fan and have had a few including a Skyline Bob Glaub P that I really dug. This HH fills...

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    I've dabbled in the short or medium scale world for years and am finally all-in. How do I join this esteemed organization? Thanks! I've had the JMJ for a few years (wearing 2 y.o. TI Flats); just added the Lakland HH a few weeks ago (have settled on GHS Pure Ni). After years of GAS and...

    Do You Own Your Perfect Bass?

    I think so, just a really great, solid, short scale PJ. Not that I need the J part so much but I don’t wanna start anything. ✌️

    One more try at a sale before I go the trade route (thanks TB). This is a great, great instrument. Just not for me (an expensive error despite my pre-purchase due diligence). I did the pickup / pots swap in an attempt to get a more vintage sound. Progress was made - the new pickups are...

    Does your favourite band also include your favourite bass player?

    In 1977, my favorite bands were Yes, Rush, and Steely Dan. The connection seems obvious now but I wasn’t consciously thinking about it at the time. The ensembles were pretty good, too - not to mention their rhythm section partners!
