[quote name='Bassmanc' post='687484' date='Dec 17 2009, 04:47 PM']At the risk of appearing as a total numpty - what's the pointof a short scale bass? Is it just for people with lickkle fingers? - or is there a specific tonal reasoning (or some other subtedlty?) Where do you get strings for it and what does it sound like? Very curious and intrigued![/quote] Yes --- Small hands youngsters, Ladies or even for a guitarist who plays bass occasionally. Sounds like --- Different short scales have there own sounds, Gibson EB0 very muddy deep sound, Fender Mustang precision like And of course as with any bass strings make a big difference. Most String Manufacturers make different string lengths i.e. Short (30" )--- Medium ( 32" )--- long ( 34" ) and you can even get extra long! If you are in the Leeds area anytime you are welcome to come and try one of mine! Withdrawn from sale

[quote name='Audiokostas' post='687212' date='Dec 17 2009, 12:17 PM']Being an L2 owner myself, I can vouch for the quality and playability of James' (Landing owner) shorties. And with gorgeous looks to boot. Actually Will, I much prefer yours than mine (it's the rosewood neck you see) The price......... man, that's a steal. But you are creating a low-price market precedence.... ..... [/quote] Hi Kostas Good to hear from another Landing owner. They are a fantastic Bass, really outstanding workmanship! and it plays and sounds like a dream. I agree its too cheap, in fact I am considering withdrawing it from sale! Regards Will.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='685569' date='Dec 15 2009, 06:52 PM']Will did you get it off a bloke in the Midlands (specifically Leicestershire)? My mate Matt had one of these that he'd got direct from Landing. It was a lovely bass to play.[/quote] Yes I believe he was called Matt -- He actually brought it up to Leeds for me when he was working nearby! Im having second thoughts about selling this one!!!!!!! Will.

[quote name='Hutton' post='680349' date='Dec 10 2009, 03:23 PM']My 62 reissue came with a period hardcase. That was in 2006, I don't know if they still do the case. This is an absolutely beauty. At this price I expect it will sell quite quickly. Shame about the case though.[/quote] Its still listed to include the Case, Vintage style Lead and Strap -- plus candy! I think all the current USA models except Highway,s include hard case. Will.

[quote name='dangerboy' post='679498' date='Dec 9 2009, 08:17 PM']I picked this up from eBay for a project, but all projects are on-hold while I work over a Travis Bean. It transforms normal teles (or any guitar that uses the same scale length) into a true baritone with a 27.78" scale. I think it's the cheapest way to get a decent quality baritone. It's one of these: [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/allparts-guitar-amp-parts/necks/guitar-necks/baritone-neck-for-tele-p-2655.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/all...ele-p-2655.html[/url] It looks like it's only been very lightly-used. It comes without tuners or nut (although it has had both fitted at some point). Rosewood board. £60 posted to the UK.[/quote] PMed

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='679328' date='Dec 9 2009, 06:09 PM']Hey Will, Whereabouts in Leeds are you? I'd be interested in checking this one out. AJ[/quote] PMed Will.

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='678918' date='Dec 9 2009, 11:31 AM']so glad it's short scale, I wish they'd done a mustang long scale... Lake Placid Blue, filth. Best of luck.[/quote] They used to make a Fender Bullet bass that was like a larger Mustang! Will.
