Show your 33" scale basses!

[Wilbyman]

I'm on a 33" kick this week, they just feel and sound terrific. Howabout showing them to us?

The fabled Wal-dera! I didn't realize it was 33", Hippie. Cool.

Rivaling Horace's Fodera in sheer headstock size (looks like they've got similar woods as well), my fretless 33" Elrick:

The one on my 33" Eshenbaugh is pretty honkin.

That's so funny! All 33's here have HUGE headstocks!

Here's my Shuker 33" 6er.
Should be getting a 33" fretless 6er later this year!

The headstock is pretty small on this one....

W,
It's nice to see a pic of you playing your Eshenbaugh- the pickup/ramp section always looked tiny in other pics I've seen of it. Now that I've seen someone playing it, I can tell that it's just the rest of the bass that's big.

And your drummer looks AWESOME! He and his kit are barely bigger than your Epi mini-stack

Soon for me.

LOL, it's true. He's about 85lbs. soaking wet!!!

The Eshenbaugh is pretty big surface-area wise, but it's actually so thin that it doesn't weigh much at all. It's suprisingly comfortable to play and doesn't seem to lose any tone because of the thickness.

Great pic Will! I really hope that Mark can get his work up to par because that is one sexy looking bass! I'd still love one from him in the future.

Oh man, I've gotta get me a 33" scale 6'er!!!!!

There are too many reputable builders out there, man...I just happen to have some basses from disreputable ones...

I'd love to have a 33" or 32" 6 string. The ergonomics would kill. Some sexy basses all around.

That's true....but they are killers for sure!

Hey Bernie! That one is actually a 32" scale length. Great looking bass from Cliff though.
