I seem to think that I read about this issue ages ago where some short scale Roto's had weird overtones. It may have been on Scott Whitley's website which was called something like shortscalebass.com but doesn't look like the site is still active for me to go back and check. Either way, IIRC, you're not the first to notice this. But I always use long scales strings on my short scale basses and have never had any issues and I've been doing it for a few years now 😀

Been on the Domestos again, Stub?

Looks great @ped, I find dark themes are so much easier on the eye. Any idea when it will be available?

I'm happy to test drive it if you need a guinea pig before unleashing in on the hoards of the great unwashed.  

Congratulation you daft sod. 

"I'm going to take that as a positive crowd reaction."

It's more likely the young Teeblings first escape attempt 😀

Congratulations Teebles 😃😆

A shameless plug to a cracking short scale and a wonderful seller 

Perhaps more a more pertinent question is why is Jimmy Krankie trying to pull your pelvis out? 

I'm easily confused. Especially when llamas are involved.

I think I'm having a flashback 

I moved over to short scales last year after a damaged nerve in my wrist made playing standard scale basses increasingly uncomfortable. I've never looked back, short scales are the future! Whenever I pick up one of my 34" scale basses it just feels cumbersome now! I'm also a short ar5e so they don't look daft on me either 

@discreet does this tickle your whatsit (or your wotsit) any? I err *cough* know the seller very well *cough* and can highly recommend him as an absolute gent (that's gent, 'K?) to deal with.

Gotcha! 

Funnily enough the Magellan adds a bump to the lower mids too as well as cutting the extreme high and low frequencies to make a thick, smooth mid rich valve like drive that works brilliantly in the mix, better than any other drive that I've tried (of which there are many!). It's perfect for Motown and dad rock stuff although I often leave it on for the whole set, everything from Andy Williams to the Foo Fighters  

Never had a chance to gig the Tone Hammer, unfortunately. 

What is that you mean by chewy mids? 

But if we're going to get all daft at this ungodly hour....

If your tempted by the warmth and drive of the TH I'd urge a look and listen of the Genzler Magellan 800. Having tried both I found the Genzler could easily sound like the TH, albeit the Mag sounded a little 'bigger' and the drive was smoother and richer than the TH to my ear. The Mag also does big punchy cleans with more conviction too, in my opinion. Not that I found the TH to be bad in any way 

😁

Hey Alan, yes it it's for the new Mustang to replace the stock bridge. 

That's more like it, thank you!

I'm off to order one now, £34 including delivery

Cheers for the link @ricksterphil.

Yes that's exactly the one I'm after, but the cheeky seller is asking half as much again for a used one than a new one costs so I might pass on this one - I'm tight as well as impatient 

Like this one?

Please excuse my wife. She may appear to be rather nasty but underneath she has a heart of Formica.

Make sure she has some wet wipes to hand. 

A bit poo, or really poo?

Wasn't Gal Gadot able to save things with her amazing thunderous thighs???
