I don't think I'm likely to buy it, but I'll be keeping my eye on this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stradi-short-scale-17-Bass-guitar-for-travel-and-scene-/111590800168?pt=Guitar&hash=item19fb547b28

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1423089146' post='2680740'] It did cross my mind to put a checkerboard on there somewhere... just couldn't work out where or how... plus thought I might regret it [/quote] Scratchplate. You can always change that again.

Looks good

priscillasnake's stuff is often priced, um, [i]ambitiously.[/i] Some of the 60s Italian stuff is completely off the wall. This is relatively tame; just a very short scale.

To be fair, he does claim to be a costume bass maker...

Mirror Or mint.

Nice one. I might make it to the Fleece

Looks nice

I used to do little fills under the guitarist. But we were talking about All Right Now ...

That is surprising.

I should not have sold my Yamaha BBN5. Basic, for sure, but it was comfortable and played nicely. The B string was decent for the price, IMO.

It looks like something ran it over. (The Epi, not the Supro.)
