thebeat Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) I'm putting this back on sale again...mainly because i don't play pick and my fingers are a wee but too big for the string spacing on this beast. This is a lovely sounding bass...very versatile for a shortscale. It's as new with only minor swirl marks. This bass retails for around £1600.00 brand new...i got mines for £1300 new from Promenade music a few months ago ( can supply receipt) I'm asking a very fair £950 posted for the bass....may swap for something like a nice MIA P bass.

thebeat Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='294855' date='Sep 29 2008, 08:15 PM']That is lovely. Have a bump.[/quote] Cheers! Looks good, sounds better. Some real bottom end, thanks to the chambered body and the TV Jones pups. Would make a good gigging bass for anyone into shorties.

Rayman Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Every time I see this bass I want it more. I'd love to take it off your hands, it's right up my street, but alas......................................I'm skint. Someone will get a very very nice bass here. Never played a short scale bass, how does it feel compared to medium scales basses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel cramped to me either. Soundwise it'll give most med. scale instruments a run for their money when it comes to a deep, but articulate when required, sound.
