THE SHORT SCALE BASS THREAD!

[billbass1]

Here is one of mine.
A 1973 Guild M-85.
Waiting for a set of DARK STARS to install.
The original color was all black.
I refinshed the neck and clear coated it,
and then decided to do the same to the front of the body.

Does Ibanez stock any shortscale basses???

Yeah... one... a single pickup, one knob job... I wieh they would do one along the lines of the SRX series... that might convince me to get one... I was really looking at the SRXs before deciding on the Viola and the short scale path...

WOW! Very nice!

What about the specs?? You just can't come along and drop a bomb like that and not tell us about it.

Just got this '69 Hagstrom HIIB. It's got the skinniest neck of anything I've ever played other than a Vox. It weighs probably about 4 Lbs, but it could be heard as well as my Jazz Bass at practice last night. Love this thing.

Did you get that on the bay? I think I saw it.

I just threw this into the hollowbody thread, but here's mine:

1964 Epiphone 5120 Hollowbody.
Picked it up at a little mom-and-pop store in North GA for $350.

Yep - new for 2007 is the AGB200. 30" scale.

Looks a bit like the Yamaha BEX. I like it!

Way back in July, I got a really beat up '65 Hofner Beatle Bass. EVERYBODY said not to "destroy its mojo" refinishing/customizing it, but I did it my way. Yes folks, this is an original 65 500/1, with original pickups amd tuners, BUT, with rewired to a 2-volume (parallel not like J-bass) and 1-tone. It sounds and plays awsome. Enjoy and Drool at my Hofner "Tuxedo Bass."

I have found my people!!

New member here.....new player as well......

.....but I've already got one Cort Action Jr, and a funky SG-style 60's vintage Kay (no pics at the moment)...
...and a serious lust for a Mouse 30.....

I have teeny-tiny baby hand, so short-scale works for me....
...thanks for all the pics to lust over, folks!!

Those are fantastic looking basses:

If it plays and sounds decent, I will probably get one, just to pose with. The price sure is right.
