Teye-bass: 32 vs 34 - your input please

[topo morto]

Fantastic looks!

Do you have any clips? Maybe a blind test would be good.

I find 34 a bit big, and 30 sounds a bit rubbish. I play the 30 anyway.

Would be interested in hearing 32 vs 34.

Also - will these be available in Europe?

I am only a mediocre bass player but with that in mind I have played a couple of the teye basses at guitar shows and I absolutely loved it! The sound was amazing! And it felt very smooth moving along the neck. I have kept my eye out for one in my price range ever since I played the first one. Unfortunately I do not have that much money l. I would have to say that teye is probably my favorite bass I have played.

unless you're fender, it may not matter too much. do you need to sell 10,000? do you want to enter a zone already dominated by other manufactureres? scarce supply of 32" units matched by loyal, thankful customer "bass" amongst these medium scale people. sounds like a winner.

I'd think 34" scale would guarantee something neck divey.

Did anyone have the chance to try one of the Tye basses?
I found a nice one La India for 6000€. 32" is fine with me, since I am looking for a fast bass with cool looks.

As a dedicated medium scaler for nearly 40 years, I applaud the medium scale Teye basses. I wish any of you could have seen the huge grin on my face when I read about the "Long Scale Option". I absolutely love it. I am still a little concerned about the weight though. They look heavy.

I have scoured the New York area for a number of years and haven't had the good fortune to see one up close or to play one - but I will. I am always looking and the next time I am headed down to Texas I will touch base.
