33" scale 5 string but not Fodera

[ToddC]

Does anyone make a 33" scale 5 string with 17mm string spacing that costs 2K or less?

Or just over the Fodera deposit )))

Stambaugh is a great option.

JOOC...why 33"? I recall seeing a Roscoe (?) in the classifieds months ago that met your requirements...to some degree. It was a one-off custom jobby. There's not a lot of demand for 33" 5 bangers but they are available if you have the coin. Squeeze an extra inch into the equation and it opens up all sorts of options.

Clement basses will build t string 33" basses in the price range you're looking at.

+1 Roscoe or Stambaugh. Both top notch. Check out the Ristola (If I have that name right) thread also. Some similarly spec'd instruments over there.

If you go 33" you might want to consider going string through body so you can use any strings you want.

Stambaugh is a great option.

+1 One of my students ordered a 33" scale Stambaugh 6. It was a bit of a wait, but it's a great instrument!

Maybe one of these Muckelroys(scroll down about half way)?

May be a little above your price requirement though.

First generation Yamaha TRB5 and TRB6s are 33 1/3" but are 19mm at the bridge. Still they tend to run around $1,500 or so.

I bet you could make that dream come true!!

I have proof, although mine is 32" scale.

I have been wanting a bass from this guy. He does a lot of shorter scale basses

Rickenbacker

 

[Brad Johnson]

In that price range Clement or Stambaugh. Had excellent experiences with both.

 

[Randyt]

Maybe a used FBASS!!

Pete Skjold! It'll be a bit more than $2000, however.

Thanks everyone.
Getting ready to sell three basses.
Should get me to a CB or Stambaugh.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

You'll be happy with either builder. I'm quite happy with my 3 CB and 2 Stambaugh.

Here's a picture of my Skjold 33" Catacomb. It's an outstanding bass from Pete Skjold.

ACG might be able to sort you out too.
I've got 4 33" ACG basses and they're amazing
