    I haven't played a bass with this short a scale, but I know ACG and Alpher make basses like this too. So you'd think they would be playable without suffering from the more compact scale My first thought is contact Newtone and see what options they can do for 23" scale.

    I'm going to say this is the first time someone has complained about marks on a reliced bass 😂 But jokes aside, I do understand that it doesn't quite look like aged wear. However, after a bit of extra playing it should fade into the distance.

    Any chance of a picture of the bass? I can probably guess what Harley Benton it is, but always easier to pass comment if people know which bass it is.

    Love these. Super versatile and the necks on these are brilliant. Don't reckon Santa is bringing me one, but someone is getting a great bass here!

    Similar to Hiscox - it will emerge in a slightly different form. As others have said, you just don't see them on stages anymore. I wonder if they are more frequently used for recording than we are aware of... Definitely a brand that needs a shot in the arm as I am sure they are quality instruments, even if they aren't "cool"

    Anything from the Merry Axemas albums. Bit of a nostalgia when I was discovering bass and liked a bit of slap and shred guitars.

    This has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days. Would absolutely love to be in a band like this.

    Big bass or small person? 😅 If it is as big as the pictures show, I'm sure that will sound massive!

    Ashdown put the Capri on the hot wash and shrunk it a bit. 23" scale now https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/basses-22/products/roasted-capri-23

    Seems it is the same company https://www.bladeguitars.com/blade-history/blade-history

    The pursuit for lightweight basses I presume. It could just be here - but you'll notice one of the first questions asked on a sale advert is "What's the weight?". Headless basses by nature, tend to be lighter. Even websites like Sweetwater show the weight of nearly every bass they have in stock so the buyer can choose the option that suits them. It's also provides a more modern look IMO. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea. Nice to have options though!

    I'd refer you to the BB mega thread - 394 pages all about Yamaha BBs 😅 https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/302794-the-yamaha-bb-mega-thread/#comment-3263093

    The first VS5 Superlight with swamp ash. Not bad.

    Whilst the colour isn't to my liking - the rest of the work looks great. Quite a convincing relic job, although the neck has no reason to be so worn after the 7th fret! 😂😉

    I know it is "limited", but it is impressive that Fender have elevated the Made in Mexico range to £1,700.

    I saw that No Treble featured one of G. Gould (founder of Modulus) basses as their "Bass of the Week", intrigued by the graphite composite neck I googled them.... I was met with some genuine early 2000s internet nostalgia in the form of their website - https://www.ggould.com/home.html In this day and age of fancy websites filled with Ads and banners. This hard to read, picture heavy website is a fun change and reminds me of the "good old days". Nice basses too.

    So the pre-orders are out. £4,200. Big price. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/dingwall-effigy/ Here are some colour options too
  18. BassApprentice
    What a combo!

    Will repost with photos.

    Didn't notice it before, but the fretboard dots just...stop. I think they get away with it on the 4003S as it is only 3 frets, but the 5 blank frets on these look a bit odd.
  21. BassApprentice
    Now see, for £170 I would have ignored everything from my quick review. That's a fab price for what you're getting!
  22. BassApprentice
    Aye - unless your band is famous enough to garner the attention of the concerned parties, you can pretty much do what you want. So if you want to do the LV, crack on.
  23. BassApprentice
    I think that kind of sums up what others have said across the internet. They aren't bad strings - just maybe not what you were expecting given the branding.
  24. BassApprentice
    If it's only a temporary injury, you could do worse than a Squier Bronco or Gretsch Junior Jet 2nd hand.
  25. BassApprentice
    I kind of understand what you mean - but they must be seeing how well the JMJ and other mustang models are doing and decided to do a similar model. Don't worry, they still do the mad and wonderful stuff too (I'm sure they would do these in shorter scale too)
