    Would throw in MTD Kingston to your list. I had the most basic Kingston model and was really impressed with it. Sad I sold it tbh.

    So dealers have started updating their websites - £299. How does that sit given specs and what you might choose as an alternative? https://www.jimmyegypt.com/cort-gb-short-scale-bass-forest-green?srsltid=AfmBOorp25-uBNzH-_YfNTakUjqyTxZiaXJrDePoxu79ZXU44aVtLCO7

    To be fair - I think this is a feeler for Cort (although they can surely see the SS market is pretty well established now...) The Action Jr is very basic, this has a few nicer aspects (roasted maple neck, Mark Bass preamp) so it probably will be around £250 rather than my previous comment of £160. If it goes well, I reckon you'll see a Fusion SS in the future.

    Yes - in Indonesia https://nafiriguitar.com/products/cort-gb-short-scale-in-forest-green?srsltid=AfmBOopK397Wey0rPCGWk7wvtf4yj9f8Bfhh1C90tfxNJpzpr7NQLcA5

    Looks and sounds good to me

    I mean, if they are around £160 - it could very easily be black with a bit of work. Matching headstock too.

    Adam Clayton is moving on some of his basses and other bits and bobs. They are, unsurprisingly, not cheap 😅 https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/played-worn-torn-2025

    I just stopped by GuitarGuitar in Glasgow and they had 2. Picked it up to compare it to the 4003s they had and the dimensions are the same. As is the weight... Didn't play it as I didn't want to waste the guys time but it's just a weird way of executing a short scale.

    This might win the award for least helpful reply in a thread resurrection 😂 7 months later and this is what he got.

    Having actually properly looked at this range instead of just making jokes about Fender recycling model names. These are some of the best colours they've had in a range in a while IMO. The Green P bass and Mustang look great.
  12. BassApprentice
    A full model with the 2+2. Both look great, just depends on your preference.
  13. BassApprentice
    They have. Or if they haven't, they probably will. Maybe. The Standard American (but it will be made in Mexico)

    I have a Vista Musicmaster - my first ever bass - which I love dearly...but is always on the edge of being modded. Leaving the original pickup but maybe a nice chrome humbucker at the bridge? Only nostalgia is stopping me from doing it
  15. BassApprentice
    Which no-one seems to like either (See Sire, G&L (RIP), Harley Benton etc.)
  16. BassApprentice
    I've followed Seldon on Instagram for a good while and really like his designs, even the weird headstock! For those that don't like it, he can do a more traditional 2+2 for you...

    I'm sorry, but for £3,400 - that's sheer laziness. Zero effort to actually try and make a new model, especially when they have the 480 in their back catalogue Think what most other custom builders could do for over £3k.
  18. BassApprentice
    Not sure what or why, but I just wouldn't buy a Retrovibe. I guess I think they are quite expensive for what they are. Bitsa basses with a nice setup.
  19. BassApprentice
    Another week - another new set of models/colours. Both absolute winners again for me.
  20. BassApprentice
    So....what have we gained here? 😅
  21. BassApprentice
    If Sire want to do a short scale P bass - I'm here for that!
  22. BassApprentice
    I appreciate this may be a phase, but I look forward to the day that I find *my* bass, like you seem to with Mustangs/Musicmasters. It's always fun to buy and sell gear - but having a bass style you just enjoy playing is really the end goal for most of us. They look great!
  23. BassApprentice
    It could just be the online pictures, but the monorail bridge looks like it sticks out a long way. Far more obviously than alternatives like the EHB
  24. BassApprentice
    Just spotted this after looking at Alnus basses from another thread. A replacement Mustang neck for under £200 - think that could be of use to any future short scale projects people may have in mind! https://reverb.com/uk/item/83942186-luthier-made-mustang-bass-neck
  25. BassApprentice
    Whilst they might be yet another clone - he does make replacement Jazz/P/Mustang necks for under £200. That's not bad all things considered.
