I got mine off Aliexpress and Temu (got two, long story). Arrived within a week and cost about £20 each. I couldn't find anywhere in the UK that sold them at a reasonable price.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Chienmortbb replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
So I am going for a short scale, but as It is because of an injury, I don’t want to pay out too much as, once I have recovered, I may go back to 34” basses. I have a bass that was paid for with some of the money my Mum left me. So the question is Hartwood Delta or Harley Benton MV-4MSB? The Harley Benton looks great but is not immediately available. The Hartwood Delta is available and the only downside is that I like black basses. If we ignore the colour issue, what should I go for? -
Fascinating. I’m late to the party on this one, and it’s been many years since I was in this kind of situation, but the memory is fresh. It’s always interesting to me that some musicians develop enormous egos, some pass through that stage, some don’t. The ones that don’t are often the ones who don’t progress musically anyway - which is usually a sign they’re not that great. They’re the ones who still crank volume WAY too high and rehearsals and gigs, take ludicrous solos (and yes, you always sigh inwardly during the gig when that happens) and generally have the diva thing going on if there’s something else in their lives bothering them which has FA to do with the gig. My take is always to be the coward. If that stuff starts rearing its ugly head, wait until you feel like it’s not fun, then bow out and find something more fun to do. Tell them you need something fresh, or you need a change of direction, anything useful. The egomaniac will know, in their heart of hearts, exactly why you’re going, but it won’t make any difference to their behaviour, and you’ll hear whispers about the whole thing fizzling out a few weeks later. Sesame Street: A is for a*%hole 😂🤣 (jk)(a bit)

LowEndLobster has posted a video about an EHB1005 with the EMG E6W pickups. No woodwork was required on the pickup slots. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
fretmeister replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
In my ongoing quest for the perfect shortie strings I stuck a set of La Bella IMA signatures on my Lionel. I really like the feel of these on my 34 scale Sandberg but the tension of the set is a bit high in regular tuning, but on a shortie they feel perfect. The Lionel has full sized machinehead posts so there's been no string damage winding them - the strings are groundwound rather than a flat and still very round feeling to me, but with much lower string noise than most others. Very reasonably priced at Bass Direct as well - I will be getting more of them. I asked IMA himself on IG about other options and he tells me that there won't be other gauges coming (boo!) but short scale versions are expected (yay!). So for basses with smaller string posts it looks like some will become available. -
BassApprentice started following G. Gould Basses - some internet nostalgia
-
I saw that No Treble featured one of G. Gould (founder of Modulus) basses as their "Bass of the Week", intrigued by the graphite composite neck I googled them.... I was met with some genuine early 2000s internet nostalgia in the form of their website - https://www.ggould.com/home.html In this day and age of fancy websites filled with Ads and banners. This hard to read, picture heavy website is a fun change and reminds me of the "good old days". Nice basses too.

It does and thanks 👍👌😊

I play my SL Lionel a lot more than my SL TT4 these days. Sometimes I wonder about selling the TT4 and maybe getting the TT Lionel version instead so I still have P and J options. Or just another P Lionel. I seem to be moving away from J sounds in general.

This pedalboard has been never used out side my shed/den/office/hideaway. I loaded it many times in different configurations, so it show minimum signs of wear. Here’s the small one I had it loaded an then bought the large one. This is the first iteration of the big one. https://nuxaudio.com/product/bumblebee/

I just glanced at that as I scrolled past and for all the world it looked like a teeny tiny Sandberg bass in Lozz’s HUGE hand!!!! 🤦♂️

The Limiñanas, Bristol. Great live band and The Fleece is probably my favourite Bristol venue.
