talk to me about short scale basses please.
Paul S replied to Phil Adams's topic in General Discussion
There's lots of choice for inexpensive short scales now. EB0 have other inherent issues such as neck dive and 'muddy' sound that may put you off. Squier Bronco or, especially, SS Jaguar are good ones to dip your toe in the water. Danelectro Longhorn is quirky and individual. And an array of others - stick Shortscale bass filter on Thomann's listings and there are a couple of pages of basses at all price points. Harley Benton do some, for example. -

Daion Performer black/black/maple £110 BIN. Aren't these supposed to be quite nice?

SGC Nanyo Bass Collection 5 strings also have narrow string spacing and, despite the quality, usually sell for next to nothing secondhand.

I check in a few times a day. I have insatiable curiosity about gear - what people use, how they use it. Costs me a fortune in the classifieds, too. I mostly enjoy the off topics - I don't usually bother reading a paper but if anything worth mentioning in the world occurs it gets reported here. On the whole I think this is a wonderful, friendly and helpful community and compared to most it remains reasonably even-tempered. I love the humour of some posters and the forum is guaranteed to make me smile a few times a day. I also find it amusing to see the new heights of arrogance to which a couple of regular posters rise... there seems no limit at the moment.... IMO

Too many - rich time for music. Songs From The Big Chair, Tears for fears? Dire Straits Live in Wembley Arena?

I've bought 3 basses from Japan, no particular problems. One seller used Parcelforce as the partner at this end, 3 days from Tokyo to Coventry then 2 weeks Coventry to my local depot, from where I had to collect it. The other seller sent it DHL and it was 2 days door to door, Tokyo to Benfleet. Cost a little bit more but very much worth it. And I think the under-calculated the duty etc.

An unused Westone. Nice, but two and a half grand?
Paul S replied to leschirons's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Maybe you'd get a free card in the case? If you go through Westones at the rate I do you'd complete the album in no time. Heaven knows what he would want for a mint Paduak or Prestige, which were the more collectible models. -

Dimwit that I am, I have described this incoorectly. it is in fact a 4U case, not a 3U case. So, I am actually selling a Gator [s]3U[/s] 4U ABS rack unit, good nick. £40 posted to mainland UK, £32 collected from SS7 [s]One of these: [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/double-door-flight-cases/gator-cases-gr-3s-shallow-19-inch-3u-synthetic-rack-case?gclid=CjwKEAiAw4e1BRDfi7vghaWU9jESJACzo9ju_LthgE4rQD1kVYHUQR2E28s28tequa2b1Wb_7jMTwxoC5E7w_wcB"]https://www.bax-shop...jMTwxoC5E7w_wcB[/url][/s] One of these [url="http://www.gatorcases.com/p/29201-1609/gr-4s"]http://www.gatorcase...9201-1609/gr-4s[/url] [attachment=210355:rc2.jpg]

I bought this from our very own Discreet only a short while ago as back up to my Trace Elliot amp. I am sorry to say I have not bonded with it and have now got another Trace Elliot amp. Sorry Mark! So, heavy, loud, pro-standard rock monster amp. [s]One of these, I suppose: [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/0/secti/18/Legacy/20/ABM-500-EVO-III/"]http://ashdownmusic....BM-500-EVO-III/[/url][/s] Looks, erm, like an Ashdown ABM 500, here are some pics to prove it: [attachment=210351:ABM1.jpg] [attachment=210352:ABM2.jpg] [attachment=210353:ABM3.jpg] Looking for just £200 collected from SS7, which is Benfleet on the south Essex Riviera. I'd rather not post it as it is very heavy and contains valves which never seem to travel that well. Could deliver within a reasonable distance or meet half way for fuel. I repeat this is £200 for the ABM amp, not a MAG amp. Oh, yes, comes with the dust cover.

Here we have my Fender Jazz Bass Special made by Fugi-gen for Fender, Japan, between '84-87. Passive bass, P/J pickup configuration with slanted pickups. A very rare 32" scale and, I believe, non-export model that I imported from Japan a shortish while ago. Black everything except strings and dot markers. Deep glossy black finish has some surface scratching here and there but otherwise you could hang it on the wall and use it as a mirror. Bit of buckle rash and dink on the back, bit of paint missing at the bottom curve. Jazz width neck 38mm at the nut, very shallow. Scaled down body that looks in proportion with the neck. F logo control knobs which are vol/tone/tone with a toggle pup select switch. Overall in excellent, especially for a 30 year old bass. Very little fret wear. P pup sounds somewhere between vintage and SD 1/4 pounder - bit of aggression in there. J sounds like a J. P/J sounds lovely - dark and deep but still burpy. Weighs a ridiculous [s]7lbs[/s] 7.5lbs/3.4kg on my luggage scales. I have taken a couple of pics but link to these 100 or so taken by the original seller that are still in cyber land. [url="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4A2gt4c6rAxMDVuckdjVXJJTHc&usp=sharing"]https://drive.google...THc&usp=sharing[/url] No change since then other than the leatherette gig bag has gone. [attachment=210349:JBS1.jpg] [attachment=210350:JBS2.jpg] This is an eye catching, drop dead gorgeous and very, very rare thing. So why am I selling it? A recently acquired Squier JV Precision has caused a bit of turbulence at Casa S and I find I don't want to use anything much else at the moment. I am asking [s]£420[/s] [s]£400[/s] collected from SS7, which is Benfleet on the south Essex Riviera. Fully insured overnight courier would be another £25. I could deliver with reason or meet half way for fuel costs. [s]Now £375 collected or £400 posted[/s]. Now £375 posted to UK mainland, £350 collected.

Turn it around. You lend a bass to X, he then sells it - without your permission - to a shop, who sell it to Y. If it were mine I'd expect it back with no quibbling.
