    I got one from Northwest Guitars that's really nice. £15

    Just wondering what the tension of Elixirs feel like. Can you compare them to any other brand so I can get a bit more of an idea? Cheers.

    I hope the Ibanez Mezzo does well. It might convince other companies to offer some lower price 32s.

    My favourite Glasto memories are all the nice surprises I've happened upon on the Jazz, Avalon and Park stages anyway.

    Lovely lovely bass. Silly money though. I could have bought one like that 20 odd years ago off a friend for £600. Like the young fool that I was, I passed and bought a dog of a Rickenbacker instead. 🤦‍♂️

    I'm sure Scott will be popping round for a coffee or twelve 😄

    Well, nearly bought a Gypsy Rose medium scale P but it was in the states so the shipping and import duty made it too expensive for a 'look see'. Instead, I've just bought one of these in burst to see how I get on with medium scale. I don't actually have a bass guitar at present, just my upright, so I'm expecting some fun to be had anyway! Impending NBD thread sometime this week... https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-les-paul-junior-lpj-bass-32-medium-scale/

    I recently imported an Allparts maple P neck from the states off a guy who has a good rep on talkbass. He does a full fret dress including the nut, rolls the fingerboard edges and gives them an oil finish. In the hand it feels lush. Thing is I've accidentally just bought a new bass so I need some funds back from this neck to go towards it. It's as it came to me, undrilled. I paid £260 for it including import charges. Will post to you for £190 This is the guy.. (my neck is the P version of course - 1 5/8" at the nut) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-parts-Maple-Neck-for-vintage-Fender-Jazz-Precision-Bass-JMO-oil-Finished-/133012759583 I'm not at home yet but will post pics of the actual neck later. Cheers.

    As the title says.. My bitsa build has changed colour scheme now so just looking to trade my recently acquired (here on BC) cream Dimarzios for the same in black. These are thems... Cheers. Edit.. If anyone wants to buy them for £45 posted then that's cool too. Gone!

    A grand? Better off building a better one of your own for that coin.

    Keep the original white or go minty.

    Well that's a rather large F**k you to CITES!

    Green inlays? Wtf?

    Marc bought an Ibanez Blazer off me in a dead easy deal. He actually told me not to stress, no rush (wish there were more people in my life like that!😎). Good man. 👍

    Me likey.

    But it's possible it's only a minority market because they're not available. There must be quite a few players/beginners who find a full size hard to get around on but don't want a Shorty and are simply unaware that medium scale basses exist.
  23. miles'tone
    Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated, but for my tastes it has to look like a P bass. I'm really surprised nobody is making a budget 32" P. A gap in the market here for sure!

    Does anyone know of a medium scale Pbass that's available and reasonably priced? Maruszczyk and 80's mij Fender Squiers are out of my price range unfortunately. I'm building my own full fat P at the mo and I have a Hartley Benton Shorty P that I bought for my sons, but can't seem to see any mediums around. Always fancied one. Any ideas?

    As our own @discreet once succinctly said regarding GAS, "sometimes the best thing to do is nothing." Saved me a few quid that one!
