Marc S Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) This tiny 26" scale bass guitar has an amazingly BIG sound. Ideal for teaching your kids the bass guitar, or if you are a guitarist who wants to play a bit of bass, and finds the long necks a struggle. I've even taken this along as a backup! Honestly, it sounds just like the full scale thing! I've also used it with my Roland Bass Cube battery amp, in pub jams. It's super lightweight, at just a tad under 2 kilos! and it's pictured alongside a full scale Jazz for comparison These were made, I believe in the Samick factory, several years back, (happy to be corrected with that, if it's incorrect).They don't come up very often, as I was searching for one for quite some time. I don't need it any more, because I now have an Ibanez Mikro 5 string that will replace it. The beauty is, this bass also has pretty much standard spacing between the strings - so chunky-bass-player-fingered types need not worry - spacing is great. This example is in mint condition, has fairly new strings, and comes with a really nice TGI well padded gigbag (also in great condition) Collection from North Cardiff - or I can meet somewhere fairly local (I do travel about the area a bit) I don't usually like posting - but, if you want to arrange your own courier - I might be tempted as I think I have a suitable box & packing material Absolutely No trades please - I'm thinning my collection Edited April 29, 2019 by Marc S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have the dark stain model of this, and can indeed can confirm they are amazing! Sound massive, and weigh nothing! Gigged mine many times and nothing but good comments. GLWTS, cheers. Pete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWes Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Is this tuned to standard pitch and do regular length strings work ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concert pitch is fine, that’s how I’ve used mine. Can’t remember what strings I have on it, but short scale ones and not too light IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short scale strings. These were already correct length, but you may be able to cut down 30" scale strings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
