The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
JohnDaBass replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I guess which ever one you buy, knowing a little about your bass tastes, you'll probably upgrade the Pups. (£60-£80). So I would be inclined to add a used G&L Fallout Tribute and a used Squier SS Jaguar to your list. If you recover fully and return to 34ins scale basses , chances are you would loose less when you move on your Short scale bass. Best wishes on a speedy recovery. -
That's a handsome looking bass Lozz, with so much of everything, character, mojo, presents and a real keeper. What about a dark red tort pick guard?

I have not tampered with the neck but I can confirm that the body is alder. I had to modify the body to add two Thunderbird pickups in place of the stock P/J Pups. These are fantastic value for money instruments who's fit, finish and quality far exceed the £199 I paid for mine. -

+1 I can vouch for the HB MV-4SB , great fit and finish with a decent range of tones as stock. Alder body, bound roasted maple neck, makes a great starting point for many upgrade routes. -
Mesa Walkabout cab/Subway head compatibility

+1 Subway D800 1 x 12 Comb plus Subway D800 1 x 15 Combo plus Subway D800 2 x 10 Combo in Walkabout format pretty please with sugar on 🙏. -
John Shuker replaced a fret board and truss rod on a US Fender Stu Hamm Mk1 . Absolute fantastic work. John's work is in great demand so be prepared to have neck fixed by slotting in to his busy bass build schedule. Worth the weight!!!!

+1 Great range of tones, really liking the 3-way switching, nice idea to have the humbucking through the permanently on mid pickup. I have no concerns over the shape of the pick guard, looks fine on both colour options. Looking forward to some more videos and hands on reviews. Bit pricey though.

TC Electronics Tone Print system is a neat solution to add effects directly to their amps. I have searched the TC site but cannot find a Tone Print that offers a HPF. Has anyone built a Tone Print with just a HPF and is prepared to share the file?

Could you provide the chassis height without the feet? -
So , what's your shortlist of recommendations @Al Krow ?

Black/Maple/tort for me is 🤔

+1 Also a Rumble 800 combo user and I don't ever recall not being loud enough for any gigs. I also have a Rumble 800HD driving one or two BF Super Compact 12s and again never suffering any lack of power. Check out the advice from @Phil Starr and try to involve the whole band in a reassessment of your sound stage. One point to check is the external speaker impedance switch, and follow the manual for the correct settings. I support the advice from others that a 2x10 extension cab would be the best way forward to access the full 800 watts, more importantly the extra speaker area will give you a step up in overall sound output.

Hi Graham, am I correct in assuming this is 34ins long scale just like the Epiphone version? -
Just to add my thanks to @scrumpymike Mrs Scrumpymike and the Scrumpettes for creating such a wonderful opportunity to meet with other kind like minded bassists. Atmosphere, food and fellowship second to none. T'was an absolute joy. My humble aray of basses and home brew combos . Thanks to all for a wonderful day.
