Anyone here in the next build?

Any 32" scale builds coming up?

I am not in the next build but the one after that. But it is 30".

Well, it won't be much longer for your build to begin.

More time to think about your specifications certainly isn't a bad thing.

its really the electronics. i have been converted to a 32" guy.

There are certainly many options to choose from! A 32" scale still calls my name at times.

I'm keeping my 32" CB tuned E to F and adding a 34" CB B to C. My goal is to go pretty light with string gauges on the new one.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I am loving my first 32 scale CB bass , very comfy

Summer time vibes out my window, so I grabbed my two most colorful basses and it's time to fix Monday!

I hope all of the CB family is doing well today.

As it turns out it's a good day for it for me. Stuck working anyway. At least it's not over 100 degrees anymore!

What pickups in that beaut?? Also, TI flats? I'll have to dig up a pic of my old Dola with TIs…

 

[emjazz]

Someone should definitely have Cliff build them a headless Dola. That would look soooo great.
