Les Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 New baby. I've waited a long time for a Jim Deacon/SX p-bass shorty with the fender headstock to come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A taste I've recently and rather surprisingly acquired. I bought a 30" Hofner CT Verythin and am mightily impressed both with the bass and the shortie scale.

I'm finding the Hofner experience quite rewarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikbass Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I have these, 1964 Hofner club bass, 60's Eko florentine mod 960 and a 1961 Harmony H22. The H22 was a wreck, hence the non original parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Lovely! I'd love one of those but alas, I think I'm too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I only decided I wanted one around a week ago - sourced this little beauty in no time and it more than exceeds my expectations. I've had a couple of short scales before (Epiphone Flying V and Fender Starcaster) but this baby punches well above her weight and plays like a dream. Well worth perservering to find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] How does the weight of the Chowny compare with the Coronado? In fact, please compare and contrast between the two.

Muppet Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I should do a proper comparison at some point but weight wise, the Coronado is 9lb 10oz, the Chowny is 7lb 8oz. Chowny is 22 frets vs 21 on the Fender but feels a smaller guitar, maybe because of the weight and the headstock size. Fender has a bolt on neck and the Chowny's is set. The Chowny has a floating bridge and there's less adjustment possible than on the Fender but I can get it to exactly how I want it so it's not an issue. In terms of control, there's a wider range of sounds possible from the Chowny and the volume controls are wired independently unlike the Fender which is wired like a Les Paul.

scrumpymike Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 OK guys, you've shown me yours - so here's mine! [url="http://[URL=http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/007_zpsapwoedu4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/007_zpsapwoedu4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"]http://[URL=http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/scrumpymike/media/007_zpsapwoedu4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o598/scrumpymike/007_zpsapwoedu4.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/url] Left to right: [u]Gibson Les Paul Junior DC[/u] Very good at doing what Gibson basses do and better balanced on the strap than an SG - I've got a set of Jazz Flats for it but not got round to fitting them yet; [u]Hofner Contemporary Club[/u] Acquired pretty much out of curiosity (and because it looks so COOL in cherry red) as part of a trade, and I absolutely LOVE IT! - especially for long rehearsals, when the light weight (6 1/2 lbs) is a bonus; [u]Fender Rascal[/u] This is a fabulous piece of kit with a wide range of sounds from the 3 lipstick pups readily accessible thanks to the neat switching system - this is one hugely capable and very under-rated bass that behaves more like a standard scale than any I've tried. As you can see, quirky/different stuff is what I like the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The Rascal bass looks really good. Would love to take one for a spin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
