The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Sambrook replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
FWIW, I have an old set of Thomastiks on my Retrovibe Tele, cut down to size. They work really well... -
For what it's worth, I really rate mine. I did in fact sell it on here, bought it back after a year of missing it!

55mm, as far as I can judge it...

The TC Aeon works well, once you get the angle of attack right. Turn the tone all the way down. Using a volume pedal helps too ...

I have the Retrovibe Tele bass, with the same neck and bridge pickup. I've changed the neck pickup for an Artec rail humbucker, and it sounds wonderful (TI flats, of course). I can happily recommend them...

I beg your pardon- I frequently whistle the Birdland melody 'when I'm cleanin windas'....

I've always been a fan of products that do the job without much fuss and glamour (Toyota, for example). Over the years, I've really come to appreciate Indonesian Corts, Ibanez's, and Tribute G&L's. It occurs to me they may all come from the same factory... If so, I'm a fan of that factory.

Bought some months ago on this forum, this is a hidden gem of a bass: 2 hum cancelling single coils, piezo bridge, 3 band eq, with 4 (yes, 4!) volumes. It's called the B2, after Brian Bromberg, (B squared). It wasn't actually authorized by him, I believe, but it's a real players instrument. The upper fret access is the best I've ever played (you can comfortably reach the top G with your 2nd finger), combining this with the piezo is a soloist's dream. The controls are: bottom row-stacked pickup volumes, mids, then stacked bass/treble. Top row- master volume, piezo volume, pickup selector. Ergonomically, the bass just works. It's actually a real quality instrument, punches very far above it's weight. It's bugging me that I have to sell it... £400 plus delivery in bombproof packaging Cheers for reading. Sean

Refinished in Sherwood Green with a maple board, this bass just does the business. Bought from Shepster on this forum some months ago, only a horrendous vet bill is making me sell. Rehearsed with it over the weekend, and it sounded monstrous. In really very good condition, a few light scratches when string changing is all. Medium weight, wearing a new set of rounds (can't remember which brand). I think we all know what these can do, so I'll shut up. £300 inc postage, sent in bomb proof packaging. Cheers for reading.

An awesome bass, in pretty much brand new condition. Bought new Oct 2020, bedroom use only. Horrendous vet bills force a reluctant sale. The bass excels in 3 distinctly different areas: 1. The 3 band eq on the piezo produces a really authentic upright tone (bass, treble all the way up, mids all the way down), plus a wide variety of other tones. The bass would be sufficient with piezo only, BUT... 2. The magnetic bridge pickup is just awesome, really tight, but big at the same time ( can't really describe it more accurately than that). It has it's own tone and volume. 3. The 13 pin allows connection to the Roland synth products, which are a whole other world to explore (I am also selling my Roland GR20, with the extras needed...) The only negative (in the interests of strict honesty) is it's size: it's a big beast. Not heavy, but long. The gigbag is made specially for it. I found this video helpful when doing my research. £900 Inc delivery, well wrapped and boxed. They are £1600 new at the moment, I believe... It's wearing a set of LaBella white nylons, which suit it perfectly, in my opinion. Cheers for reading. Sean
