    Stanley Clarke doesn't, he is a very tall man with huge hands, and a very skilled double bass player as well, yet he prefers to play short scale electric bass, and is even one of the absolutely legendary virtorioses at it too. I advise OP to try out both options and decide based on what feels best to them.

    These are very, as in very, reasonable priced too. I am awfully tempted to get one as well, to replace my otherwise genuinely great NUX Melvin Lee Davis Bass Preamp & DI pedal, seems for only about double the price you get a lot of extra (and potentially even also better sounding) stuff.

    😱 I would never had thought Asingardenof to actually be Donald Trump... What a reveal...

    Well, I don't consider a bad setup a flaw. Just because a bass has a bad setup it can still be an amazing instrument, so I don't think this would really give a realistic review of basses. It's adjustable for a reason and strings can be changed for a reason and this is two things I am going to do anyway, regardless of price tag or quality, to suit my personal preferences. Given an instrument a new set of great strings and a proper setup is as far as I m concerned the best possible pre requirements for a realistic and fair review. Reviewing the actual instrument, rather than the setup or strings.

    My main instrument of choice, my beloved, just 28.6" scale length, Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, that I named "Dud Bottomfeeder", fitted with an EMG Geezer Butler P pickup, and tuned in A# standard, tenor bass, tuning :

    And with a wider neck and fewer frets than a real short scale bass. And in most cases bigger body too. So won't really feel like a real short scale bass would. This!

    Finish on neck and headstock would no doubt add to the price as well.

    And basses are just wood and metal.

    Well, you might find it easier to hum an interesting bassline, then copy that on bass, than coming up with it on the bass directly. In any case I think starting to think more melodically, and coherently as one single song, rather than individual blocks of chords stacked together, would be the key here.

    Couldn't you just use the other end of the cable, so that the stiff plastic bit points the opposite way, not covering the other midi port?

    I looked for them too without luck. But my best guess is that they are working on a new version 2 with a pickup switch or a blend, instead of the P and J pickup both always full on, with no options for switching or blending, like this first version worked. I do however really love how that new shorty P Bass looks, and I actually also think the stock pickup sounds awesome. So will for certain soon get one of those.

    Snappy would be around 1KHz, and bite would be around 3KHz.

    Definitely will be getting this! Looks beautiful!

    Also guitars and basses are not a great investment, fa safer and much more profitably investments to be made.

    Not it hasn't! In fact quite the opposite. Talking real value.

    If you really put your will behind it I believe you can do it!

    Can't imagine them sounding good near and above 12th fret on a short scale bass, unless you love a dead thud.
  21. Baloney Balderdash
    Same, to be honest.

    Then that strap probably isn't for you. It's fairly grippy. Most people are interested in the exact opposite, to battle neck dive issues.
