Well I hadn’t foreseen this. Just went to restring my newly acquired Mustang and the E, A & D strings all taper before the nut. I hadn’t thought it would be an issue, but I guess it’s due to the string thru bridge. That’s never an issue when stringing a long scale bass though. Strings are D’Addario 50-105 EXL160S nickel rounds. How would anyone possibly know when ordering that they aren’t exactly suitable if you have a short scale string thru bass?! 
 

I’m guessing / hoping it won’t be an issue when playing, it just looks really odd. What nickel rounds fit a string thru shorty well from peoples’ experience, or would going to medium scale strings help? Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Did you use Short Scale strings? You'll need Medium Scale for a Mustang with thru body stringing, that will sort it out

Aah saw that one on Ebay and was tempted, they are great basses GLWTS

New batch of EBMM Stingray Shorties released, 25 of each, some nice colour combos ... and some a bit iffy ...

Having sold my baby stingray, and my Electra VS I'm sat here waiting for my Sandberg California II VS4 Lionel to be delivered by ParcelForce

 

You will not be disappointed, if you have bought blind and never played one, you are in for a treat!! Punchy, articulate, very resonant and sound great ... ENJOY

there's a couple knocking around on here @Osiris has one as well 

Valeton Dapper Bass bought for project but replaced with a wireless Pod Go

Very good pedal with good range of tones, usable FX and tuner, great condition, boxed with power supply 

SOLD

@WoodinblackThanks for your replies, @MuppetI feel your pain, I've just moved and can't find a thing! If either of you get a chance I will gladly like to have them

My RH750 is looking bit sorry for it's self ... knobless

Anyone else have  / had an issue with the knobs breaking on their RH450 / 750 Amp? The plastic used in manufacture at the time, maybe still? becomes brittle 

and easily breaks after some time. TC used to replace the knobs and buttons but now they seem to have shirked that responsibility, so you are left with trying to

source them yourself or replace them with another type. I remember Hercules had an issue with their plastic becoming sticky on their stands and even now they 

will still (with a bit of pushing) replace the part for free. Shame on you TC very poor of them !!

BTW If anyone has 2 or three spare knob drop me a message please

Yep anything Medium scale or indeed regular longs will do the job just as well

PS - I have the Gator gigbag designed for a Jazzmaster and it’s perfect for both my shorties

I was looking one of those, whats the padding like?

I think that’s one of the reasons I like it -  that it doesn’t feel THAT different from a regular 34”. 

That's why Mart has my Fallout now, yes it felt much like a 34" scale as the bridge is set forward. sounded ace but much preferred my JMJ Mustang, EBMM Stingray and Sandberg Lionel Shorties

I really do like the look of the 4 banger but I suspect that other than switching the distortion or fuzz on as a party piece I'd never use it in a gig scenario.  So I guess all the extra spend would be wasted on me.....Starry Night though....

Same .... but Ooooofffff Starry Night !!

Will get its first public airing at the Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsden, Surrey at the end of May when its (lack of) weight will be wonderful for our two 45+ minute sets!

Cool, which band are you in?

Awesome that is one super cool looking bass, it’s going to look ace on stage !!

Enjoy \m/

2) Sandberg Lionel (very nearly a keeper and probably should have been) ...

... And I am forever thankful that you made the decision to let the Sandberg Lionel go !!

Is there such a thing as a Mustang that doesn't have neck dive?

Almost every review I've read / watched seems to mention it.

 

I'm wondering if I should just keep saving up for a Lionel.

Deffo keep saving for a Lionel or keep an eye out for a used one, you will NOT regret it ! I love mine thanks to @scrumpymike

@Osirisalso has one and will maybe chip in with some wise words

I also have a JMJ Mustang and have no issues with neck dive at all, lack of arm contour is my only slight gripe I guess

Absolutely, once I saw this I had to have one !! EBMM Stingray Starry Night Short Scale … I’m a sucker for sparkly

Bleugh. 🤮

I don't like tort at the best of times,  but binding and inlays? What possessed them?

Hopefully this won't become a fashion or I'll have to give up playing altogether in order to avoid ever coming into contact with one. 

Yep makes my eyes bleed

That’s cheap as chips!!
