    OK, £50 price drop to £545. You guys don't know what you're missing - as Scott Whitley says in the demo vid I've linked above, this is the best 'off the peg' s-s bass out there. If it weren't for my shoulder injury, it's the last thing I'd be selling!

    SOLD

    Under offer.

    I was so impressed with my fretted SWB-1 that I bought this ash-bodied passive with flight case from Scott in Spring for a one-off fretless project. Offered in totally as-new condition, this lovely bass is an easy player thanks to its compact, light-weight design, 30.75" scale length, slim neck and flat-wound strings. Buy new today and you'll be paying £508! That's real value for money, so my price must be a bargain. "]http:// "]http:// My asking price is collected but I can arrange delivery at cost.

    What's the scale length?

    Thanks for that lojo - interesting indeed and I enjoyed looking thru all the rest on their website.

    Bump time for this excellent bass!
  8. scrumpymike
    Really surprised this excellent TE rig hasn't gone - good luck on 'the bay'.

    Loving it - every bit!

    I hope this link turns 2 people on: one to buy my Rascal, and the other to buy Scott's (preferably in that order ). [url="http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/product/fender-rascal-short-scale-bass/"]http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/product/fender-rascal-short-scale-bass/[/url]

    That's exactly what it is - and some companies will doubtless take the opportunity to hike the prices of their pre-Brexit stock in anticipation of the higher cost-prices they'll soon be paying.

    Just sold Kristo one of my basses; a very smooth transaction and a pleasure doing business with this basschatter.

    If you're looking for a unique bass that offers all the playability of a short-scale while retaining the 'presence', balance and substantial feel of a 34" standard, then this is for you. That, plus a unique pup/control set-up that allows rapid switching between a wide range of tones, is why I couldn't wait to get one as soon as I heard about them. The custom-shop design and colour are obviously a subjective thing, but personally I love the way it looks too (sorry, only group pic available but I'll take some more). [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/007_zpsapwoedu4.jpg.html"][/url] Here's the spec: Scale length - 30"; Construction - maple body / neck; Fretboard - 9.5"-radius rosewood with 21 medium jumbo frets; Width at nut: 42mm; PUPs - 3 x Seymour Duncan 'lipstick-tube' Strats; Controls - volume, tone, 5-position Strat-type switch with push/pull knob enabling 7 pick-up combinations. Condition (including hard case) is mint/as new with no sign of wear as this bass hasn't been played much. So why would anybody want to sell what is probably the best bass they have ever owned? Only because they have a dodgy shoulder for which 9 1/2lbs is about a kilo too much nowadays - and I'm really pissed off about it. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=molxHHbKqbA"]https://www.youtube....h?v=molxHHbKqbA[/url] Price is collected / delivered within a reasonable distance from Taunton.

    That is absolutely beeeooootiful!

    My experience is pretty much the same as Nik's. If you're an attention-seeker, best not take up the bass - unless you're a blindingly talented virtuoso, which I'm not. (Mind you, not many bands have room for one of those.) My excuse is I'm a singer who plays bass also. Come to think of it, that's been the recurring comment from punters over the years: "How the f**k do you manage to play bass and sing at the same time!?"

    As the name suggests, it's got 2 x 10" drivers plus tweeter and the spec is as follows: Power Handling 250 Watts; Impedance 8 Ohms; Frequency Response 60 Hz - 20 kHz; SPL 98dB 1W @ 1m Dim's: 604(W) x 468(H) x 335(D)mm (height and width are interchangeable as the cab has 2 sets of rubber feet) Weight: 29kg I bought the cab new 3 years ago, have used it paired with a TE compact 1 x 15 driven by a TE 300W head, is in A1 functional and cosmetic condition, and actually hasn't done a lot of work as I've just been using the 1 x 15 for smaller venues. This is a decent quality cab in practically as-new condition for not much money.

    Just bought a nice Ashdown 210 Neo cab with fitted cover from Will. He's only half an hour up the road from me so we arranged to meet at his office after work for a try-out with my TE head and SWB-1 bass. Paid him via PayPal and left with the cab. Nice guy, great purchase, and no carriers involved - except Will himself, who insisted on carrying it out and putting it in the back of my car!! Thanks Will.

    That's nice - same as my rig except my cabs are the compact ones (actually my 2 x 10 is the Ashdown equivalent). I just LUUURVE the 'original' TE stuff!

    [quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1466418934' post='3075602'] It would appear there's more demand for extra light ProSteels than we thought! [/quote] Along with the rest of the UK, I guess the bass-playing fraternity is an ageing population. If that assumption is right, easy playability has to become more of an issue.
  22. scrumpymike
    Very nice they look too.

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1465734175' post='3070562'] Hey all. I really like d'addario short scale nickels, the 40-95 gauge, for the feel and tension. But they aren't bright enough really and go dead too fast. Plus the E is always kinda dead. Are they any short scale steels in similar gauge? [/quote] I like the feel of the D'Add's EXL220S nickels too. Following a recommendation from Scott Whitley, it's what I've just fitted to both my main gigging basses so it's too early for me to comment on how well they last. For me they sound good though, including the E, but the stuff I play doesn't call for anything too bright. Having said that, I'd go for steels if they were available and Scott said the same (D'Addario UK pls note). Btw, I had the string nut re-made on one bass and re-cut on the other. If you didn't change yours, that could explain the dead-sounding E.

    Just discovered this thread and gone thru the lot - some truly amazing stuff! I've been looking for a replacement in the black bass department since my SG Reissue went a while back and here it is - an Ibanez Talman TMB30 short-scale.
