I can hear Bambi spinning from here though.

Yes they do look fab 👍 Another option is the Luna Tattoo Shorty. They were originally designed by a lady with diminutive ladies in mind too. I've not played one but they're good by all accounts. I like the phases of the moon inlays especially... https://www.thomann.de/gb/luna_guitars_tattoo_short_scale_bass.htm

For a casual OM turn on a bass, HB Shorty P all the way. I've had mine for over a decade and I've done nothing to it. At all. It's still got the strings on it came with. Didn't even need to touch the trussrod or intonation. Still going strong and sounds Brill. This coming from a serial bass fettler/buyer/seller is high praise indeed! Cheapest new bass I've ever bought too (apart from a HB deko) which really does make me question my otherwise very expensive habit 😂 It's short but sounds like a grown up P 👍

Congrats mate. That is good news indeed.

Yes he was 👍 I met him when I was 17 in 1989. He put me at ease (read: calmed me down 😄) and was lovely. Very patient and generous with his time. Top bloke.

I've often wondered if Johnny Marr wrote and played in that tuning to suit Morrissey's natural vocal range at the time. It worked for them anyway.
