The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
JJMotown replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Nice to see the fiesta red looks to be an aged fiesta red, more subtle red. Brass saddles and a set of flats. Make a very cool little bass. -

HB shorty is 42mm. -
You know the pickups are seymour duncan quarter pounds right? Not a vintage sounding pup, but very punchy, and modern p tone.

Ghs flats are very high tension, I wouldn't had put them on a semi hollow. Same with an acoustic. -
What is the difference in sound between the two birds?

New Fender Laura Lee (Khruangbin) signature Jazz
JJMotown replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I like the irony here, as she plays a SX copy of a Fender. Though no Chrome's or dimarzio pups, hipshot tuners, so other than the colour isn't an artist bass at all. -
Great p pups. Right up there with cs 62 and 63 imo.

Some new flatwounds have fairly long silks at the ball end, which go over the saddles on my fender bbot bridge, causing them to sound very dead. I saw Duck Dunn had the same issue, and put some small nuts at the ball end of his strings which sit against the heel of the bridge, extending them enough so the silks don't go onto the saddles. Does anyone know what size nuts will allow the strings with silks at the ends to fit through? Like this:

It's as HeadlessBassist says a top twenty short scale. Kay never made a version like this, and it's not teisco, like people say it is because it bumps the value. Teisco closed in 1968, this was made after that time.
