My mate Matt had one of these that he'd got direct from Landing. It was a lovely bass to play. Edited December 15, 2009 by john_the_bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That could quite possibly be the bass I played. I remember linking to his ebay auction on this site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiokostas Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Being an L2 owner myself, I can vouch for the quality and playability of James' (Landing owner) shorties. And with gorgeous looks to boot. Actually Will, I much prefer yours than mine (it's the rosewood neck you see) The price......... man, that's a steal. But you are creating a low-price market precedence.... ..... Edited December 17, 2009 by Audiokostas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmanc Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 At the risk of appearing as a total numpty - what's the pointof a short scale bass? Is it just for people with lickkle fingers? - or is there a specific tonal reasoning (or some other subtedlty?) Where do you get strings for it and what does it sound like? Very curious and intrigued! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very curious and intrigued![/quote] Yes --- Small hands youngsters, Ladies or even for a guitarist who plays bass occasionally. Sounds like --- Different short scales have there own sounds, Gibson EB0 very muddy deep sound, Fender Mustang precision like And of course as with any bass strings make a big difference. Most String Manufacturers make different string lengths i.e. Short (30" )--- Medium ( 32" )--- long ( 34" ) and you can even get extra long! If you are in the Leeds area anytime you are welcome to come and try one of mine! Withdrawn from sale Edited December 20, 2009 by 2x18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
