Nice job, and some good looking turntables in the first picture as well.
-
+1 for Davo's comment.
-
Mine is an upgraded HB Short Scale fitted with Delano pickups, a decent bridge and modified to give the option of stringing through the body plus other finishing mods. Plays well above it's price.
-
Dave have you played with the 'built in' cable length settings on the Smoothound? these do make a difference to the sound.
-
Oops 9 straps and only 4 basses.
-
Glad you gone Smoothound Dave, I did the same and found know problems. Got a spare short lead if you are interested.
-
You could look at the Harley Benton Short scale P bass at about £80. Probably good for upgrading at a later date as well.
-
Welcome Tony. Nice choice of bass.

I've signed up for a gig - NO LONGER heebie jeebies
naxos10 replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in General Discussion
Well done for signing up Stub, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience. If you need any help leading up to the gig let me know (I live in Staffordshire as well). -
If the wood came from a church then it's going to make one holy bass. Alternatively if it's from a pub/club it will be a great Bass (think beer) and will be well brewed.

+1 for Newtone strings which I have on all my short scale basses (30.5").
-
Waiting in anticipation for the piccies😎

Check out the string fitting videos on the Newtone Strings website: https://newtonestrings.com/the-recommended-way-to-string-a-guitarbass/

The UK seller are labelled iBassline. Good value.
-
You could try the Vox Pathfinder 10w which due to the 5" speakers has a more of a top end frequency response.
-
Nice to hear you are back in the groove.
-
Glad you are liking short scales kevvo, they do get addictive. I have fitted all my short scales with Newtone Platinum Nickel on round core which have a nice tension (50 -110 gauge) and produce less finger noise due to the extra windings. If I was after something brighter I would probably try the same strings in stainless steel.

+1 have used a DHA pedal in front of my amp for a number of years.

Welcome Stub Mandrel, a bass forum is the best place to look unless you want to avoid GAS
-
Sadly miss the Genz Benz Shuttle 3-8T which is probably one of the smallest combo's that could do a bass guitar justice. I don't really need any power just wanted a unit as small as possible so I've ordered a Vox Pathfinder 10B to see what that sounds like.
-
Welcome Richard - nice bass by the way.
-
If anyone is looking for strings for short scale basses talk to Newtone, they will wind the scale length to suit. Great strings.
-
+1, I've not gone for foam under the strings yet.
-
There seems to be a lot of respect for the Bugera heads on here and you could also look at the Ashdown Rootmaster 500 and 800.
-
If you want another SA450 Bass Direct have a second hand one in according to the website.
