The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
msb replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Most of my 34 in basses have TI flats except for a Ray I keep fresh round Slinkies on , and an old Pbass with ancient rounds. Most short scales have LaBella flats , my Longhorn still has the factory rounds. It was also gigged a lot. They still intonate , and it thumps. I have some short scale Gibson rounds if I wish to change anything. They came on my DC LP Jr and I really liked them , bought several packs , the Jr has LaBellas at the moment , might return the rounds on that. I find I can leave flats on for years before I have any urge to change them. I’m mostly aiming for a classic old school thump. They deliver that. -

I'm maybe missing something, but this seems to essentially be a multifx with pretty limited fx capability? Other than the DI out, why go for something like this rather than one of the very capable mid-range multifxs available in the same price bracket?

I bought this bass about a year ago on a bit of an impulse and wondered if anyone knows a bit more about them or has had one. From a bit of googling I think the model is Fender Japan TNB 110 SPL and whilst a Precision body shape, is clearly a bit different with the pick up layout, hollow body f hole and telecaster style headstock. Think the TNB means Thinline Bass and presume SPL means Special, not sure about the 110... There are a couple of short threads on them here and elsewhere but not much info and I suspect a not often seen bass ?.

No it's not. It's also "a bold step forward in tone, reliability, and performance". Are the Chinese built ones unreliable and do they sound bad then? I've only just bought one. 😬 I think it's good that they are being manufactured in the UK, but not clear on if this is replacing the Chinese ones or is just an option if you prefer to support UK manufacture.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
tauzero replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
One song that regularly gets misplayed is Bad Moon Rising. It's not in either band's setlist but I've done it previously, and encounter it fairly regularly at open mic nights. The first and second choruses only go round once, the final one goes round twice (or more, depending on how it's ended) but a lot of the time people do the first and second choruses as double length ones. -

Not that I have many left now but for the past few years I have fitted Thomastik TI Jazz flats on all my basses. They are very bright, as flats go - by no means the dull thud of many. I love the feel of them. Quite low tension, which puts off a lot of folks. Expensive but last forever. The short scale ones are actually medium scale but that isn't a problem. -
In fact, on Beyma's figures it was more than 3dB loss, but at half power the loss was approaching 1dB. So let's say you lose 2dB or more and add the 6dB low end boost usually quoted for mutual coupling.

I’ve used D’addario EXL 170s on my Dano Longhorn for eons, and never had a duff one or any other problems. I’ve got used to the sound of them so much I’d find it hard to change now I think. They last a long time for me, but I do have quite dry hands and can make strings last a long time. -

Isn’t it just a U.K. built RM800 EVO III in blue ?? I don’t understand why as the black one is a perfectly decent amp already

Same here, Tech21 gear sounds great, is super reliable, and as a bonus sound people seem to love it too.
