Best short scale under $1000?

[110s lover]

I'd definatley say its better value with more option to buy used or refurbished, you can get 1-2 grand basses cheap that way obviously.

Or did you buy new?

No Gretsch? Bummer.

I did my own comparison between a Gretsch 5442, Coronado and Starcaster...I bought the Gretsch.

I hope the rest of it looks better than the top of the headstock.

Got to be Fender. Best absolute cheapest hands down is the Squier Jag Short Scale. For just under the 1 grand limit, I'd get the Fender Mustang. If you did some serious hunting perhaps getting a used Landing or Birdsong, but you'd have to be really really lucky.

If I had $1K to put down on a short scale, I would buy an Eastwood Airline Map bass.

Italia shouldn't be overlooked. They make several Bass models but only one short-scale. The Torino is outstanding in the under $1000 range. Besides the colors shown here it comes in red, white, blue and more:
