It's a good question. Personally I like a very clean amp / cab that lets the bass sound shine through. I use GRbass amp and cabs for their relatively uncoloured sound. It would be interesting to hear what cabs create that heavy rock sound, possibly the more old school cabs from 30 years ago that don't have tweeters.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

It adds a fuzzy tone to the signal. Sounds very 1960's / 70's -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
spyder replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I think many of us "seasoned" Basschatters are getting to the age where a heavy 34" scale bass just won't cut it anymore. Up until a few months ago I never considered a short scale bass but with an aging back and early arthritis I really didn't want to cart around a 4.5kg bass for hours on end. I bought an Acinonyx and didn't look back. I sold all of my 34" anchors and found my perfect bass company... Serek. Now have two, one for an old school vide and the other for more modern jazz bass tones. Perfect. -

Nearly black..........? Following a short scale transformation with a Serek "the Grand" I just HAD to get a matching 5 string Serek....... Both are incredible basses, the build quality, workmanship and sound are just what I was looking for.

I would say that they are medium tension. Not sloppy or tight. Just perfect for me. -

NBD.... Following a short scale transformation with a Serek "the Grand" I just HAD to get a matching 5 string Serek....... Both are incredible basses, the build quality, workmanship and sound are just what I was looking for. The Grand is strung with LaBella low tension flats and the Midwestern 2 is strung with Newtone Shorties. -
I had the same problem when I had a P10dx. I replaced the socket with a strong after market one.

I can put a set of DR Legend flats on that I found in my spares drawer if that helps the sale. -
