jwhw1993 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hello, I'm new to Basschat despite purchasing my first shortscale bass recently via Basschat. It is a Sire U5. I've also bought a Chowny SWB1 (both secondhand) with the intention of seeing which one I prefer. The idea is to move to shortscale and sell my longscale basses through Basschat which are - Sterling Sub by Musicman Ray 4 Ibanez SR600E Ibanez SR370E Ibanez SR370EF (Fretless) If you're interested, please let me know. Thanks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwillett Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Welcome to the forum. Ex of Greenwich myself, many a happy ship down in The Glades in Bromley. Suspect I kept Richer Sounds in business as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msb Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Welcome , I’ve been mostly using short scales for some years now and have acquired about a dozen of them , but I’ve hung on to the older long scales for now. I’ve got some classics and don’t want to part with them. They still bring me joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to list them shortly. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwillett Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Whoops. Misread that one completely. If you have a cheap 62 Fender I’d still come to Canada for it. The price of the airfare is probably negligible on that sort of bass😀 all the best and sorry for the confusion rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 The closest I’d have is a well worn 72 Pbass. That was my first real bass though so it would be one of the last ones I’d sell. For many years my only bass , it was mint when I first got it , and looks like it went through the Boer War now … still plays like a dream.
