The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
msb replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Broughton make great stuff , and it’s a tiny owner/operator business. -
Here in Canada Long & McQuade are saying they will be available sometime in 2026.

We were beginning to look after my mother-in-law. I didn’t want to be dragging an amp between our place and hers , so I thought something small and cheap would do the trick. I was accustomed to a little GK MB150 at home. That started my quest for funky practice rigs.

msb started following Farewell Danny Thompson and Is the Rumble 15 ported?

I found the Rumble 15 awful. Couldn’t flip it fast enough.

Harmony H22 batwing , SG , and Gretsch Thunderjet 6128B , all with flats , I’m a thumper. -
I loved Pentangle , and the Martyn songs , and I felt gutted when I heard he passed. I’ve looked up a lot of YouTube videos in the last several days. Legend.

Show us your rig of choice for the weekend ** Basschat edition**
msb replied to bassace97's topic in Amps and Cabs
Mine had been modded by previous owners , Badass bridge , Jazz pickup , but I liked the mods. one of my regrets. Still have the fretted rosewood , 72 too. I was once a Pbass guy. Not so much now , I’ve come to prefer shortscales. -

Love that maple fretless , used to have one , regret selling it. Mine was a 72. -
I had several of those 50 Bassman heads , wound up selling them to guitar players. Great little heads , and not all that heavy.

Welcome , my first shortscale was a Longhorn , one of the first reissues in the late 90’s. And at first I really did not care for the shorter scale. Somehow the more I played it , the more I liked it. And for many years was my primary bass. My number 1 today is a medium scale. I prefer the shorter scale , but it’s a lovely bass. -
Thank you , I’m a bit nerdy about the stuff. I’m really just an old school thumper that likes a big , fat , rich , old school thump , and I’m ok with little Class D heads for home practice , for gigs I break out the tube preamp. I have too many amps , but just the right amount of cabs.

Here’s that amp he built for me. Simple straightforward power amp. It suites me preamp perfectly. He has built quite a few preamps based on the classic B-15.

Before Epiphone consolidated their production to a single factory there were various Korean factories making them , two of the factories were Peerless and Unsung , that produced some of their higher end models. Their work was excellent.
