Strange short scales?

[guitarhuckster1]

Maybe one of these:

They were also available as Supro and Airline.

The Vampy Weeks dude also uses(d) a Mosrite... i think the originals, as well as the Univox copies and the Eastwood Reissues are AMAZING looking and sounding basses. http://eastwoodguitars.com/

<3 the Hi-Flyer

Also, Mod a Squier Bronco!!! That's what i'm doing. Super DUPER cheap. A lot of my fave bands (i'm a die-hard 90's indie-pop fan) use Musicmasters, and a moded Bronco can get that tone, pretty cheaply... or just buy a vinty Musicmaster ($400-$700).

+1 to a Dano long-horn.

i've only seen one of these once... it played amazingly well and it was cheaper than a sg reissue (about $700)

Does it have any more clarity than the mudbucker?

You're looking for a Hagstrom.

Man that thing is awesome!

Don't forget the Danelcctro Longhorn if you want a "funny-looking" short scale.

I may end up getting one of the RIs used if I can't get what I want.

I'm not a vampire weekend fan, I had just seen the video once on TV and really liked the bass.

The hi-flyer is an option but the first thing I think of is Cj Ramone when I see that thing, maybe its just me.

As for musicmaster/bronco/mustang.. I'm really looking for the most awkward looking nonfender thing I can find. If I wanted one of those, a local music store has an EXTREMELY sweet 70's musicmaster thats only $450 or something.

i found one like the 2nd evilbay post at a local used music store for $60!!!! brought it home and cleaned her up, through a set of strings on.........killer action, very neck heavy, and feeds back like a motherf!@$#*. best 60 bux i've spent in awhile

This is exactly what I'm hoping for.

A really **** bass from the 60s, that is REALLY cheap.

Does this count? It's strange, and shortscale. It's not 60's, though...

Get one of these.


... the teardrop, not the random equipment ( ) in the background.


Bust just browse this.

Keep in mind, alot of the old Japanese stuff is cool looking and all... but often un-intonatable junk without a truss rod.

I think the random crap completes the "look"

You and me both.

And there is a lot more of it now...

I would love to get my hands on some of the Eastern Block stuff like a Bas or Tonika:

Here are a few links to some really wild stuff:

If I had my own place, it'd be the same for me, too.

Tommy your title of this thread is perfect for you except you mis-worded it a little. It should say:

"Strange Tommygunnnn posting threads to gain post counts only with no intention of buying anything"

How about my Eko Kadett, 30", 1967 (or so). I changed tuners to small Schaller ones, so the neck-dive is gone (the bass is superlight, but tuners were not), and the bridge, coz original was trashed...

Try to find Eko Cobra, shortscale, design between jag and jazz...nifty lil bass, i had opportunity to buy it for 150&#8364; but didn't :-/

So basically you want a bass that is:

1. Old
2. plays good
3. sounds good
4. doesn't cost much

Good luck, dude....

Sounds like you want a Danelectro Longhorn. Depends if you can repel kitchiness of that magnitude though.
