    Apologies if this basic question is somewhere else, but I can’t find it. I’ve recently put some DR Legends on my Mustang. I really like them, but I know they’re long (34” ball to taper), which is fine on the Mustang with through body stringing, but can I put them on my Fallout? Ie will a flatwound be ok if I wind past the end of the taper onto the tuner (as I think I’d need to do with the E string at least). I assume not and don’t want to trash a string unnecessarily. A bit annoying that DRs short scale isn’t actually short scale….

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m thinking of getting a short scale made for me by a local luthier and just reflecting on what body shape I might go for…. Loving the Vintera II Mustang I bought recently, but it’s a little bit neck heavy… also love my Fallout but it too has a bit of that and would like the bridge a little bit further back on the body… and I’m very fond of my L2000…. So I need some kind of hybrid of all of them! So yeah, what IS the perfect short scale bass body shape? 😃

    I’ve not tried a Lionel or a short scale Stingray, but with short scale versions of originally long scale basses like those, is the body actually smaller than original? Like, is it actually just scaled down, and if so, by how much?

    I’ve just noticed that M2500 has through body stringing. Didn’t know G&L had a bridge that did that. Interesting….

    Nice one!
  7. dmckee
    Down to £750. Hmmm. 🤔

    Red isn’t for me, but if anyone’s interested, there’s a bargain-priced CLF L1000 on eBay just now….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186798811473?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=oCTjfIILT5K&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=TD0J1DOyQvS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    I have 3 G&Ls (2 USA and 1 Tribute, all great) but have been casually looking for a lightweight CLF L1000 for a while….
  10. dmckee
    Nice. I assume you’re in the US. No G&Ls to be found in the UK. ☹️
  11. dmckee
    PMd.

    How’s the balance? (I’ve been looking at Mustangs for a while now and have been put off any I’ve tried because of neck dive).

    Both the Lakland Hollowbody basses (long and short scale) have rounded edges and are pretty comfortable. Also, the latest Reverend Fatfish 32 has a bit of a contour.

    Argh, thanks. I’ve got a while to wait then! Nice bass btw. Just as well it’s not a 4…..
  15. dmckee
    How long did it take your new neck to come btw? My L2000 truss rod is also broken and am waiting on them to send a new neck….

    Has anyone tried this bass? https://reverendguitars.com/basses/basshouser-fatfish-32/
