The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
AlexDelores replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Yeah I did look at them as there’s one for sale in my local shop… But, I really, really don’t like the shape of the headstock on G&L basses. Shallow, I know. But it’s just not my thing. -

That’s a good shout. Will have a look. Thank you 🙏 -

Who’s put a humbucker on a Mustang? Has it noticeably changed the sound? I’d like to give mine a more ‘woolly’ sound as I’m not a massive fan of the single coil ‘twang’ and tend to dial the tone right down. Humbuckers are generally my favourite pickup sound but I’m cautious that the positioning and scale of the Mustang might not impact the sound that much. I’m pretty clueless when it comes to mods etc so just getting an idea of if it’s worth it before I go down a rabbit hole. -
I’ve got to say, one of the ads popped up on instagram a few days ago and I think they’re very nice looking and sounding instruments. Especially for the price point. The only thing that isn’t to my taste aesthetically is the stripe on the headstock. Has anyone actually picked one up yet?

Favourite headstock design? Just for fun...

Ah well, I agree with all 3 comments. They are very nice headstocks. -

If you read all 3 of those comments out loud In one go, Robert Trujillo will appear. -
Worst Live Act (Pushing it a bit too far)
AlexDelores replied to theplumber's topic in General Discussion
I was there for this too and was right towards the front as she was on just before Kings of Leon. You’re right it was a shambles but in hindsight, very sad to see… I remember being able to see the discolour and dirt on her clothes! 😟 -

Guns & Roses at Reading 2010? I think Dreadful, truly dreadful. -

I think @JohnDaBass picked one up a little while back and seemed very happy with it! -
Superb 👌

What a stunning collection. What is the bridge pickup on the VDE? Looks like a humbucker attached to a J pickup.

Nice! I didn’t realise his sig was a SS. Makes sense as he also plays Gretsch G2220. Thanks! -

Is the orange one short scale too? I’m guessing it’s not stock? It looks great! -
The Bass Show UK - Cranmore Park, Birmingham - March 1st and 2nd
AlexDelores replied to Goliath_FX's topic in Events
Think I’ll be going to this one! Used to go to Music Live with my dad and always enjoyed it! -
Came across after watching Ian King’s new one. One hell of a rig, full of gizmos and pedals galore. ‘The Doorway to Funk’ is particularly cool. Do love those Serek basses. Fortunately, I can’t afford to even think about buying one. But they are very nice. Good watch.

Oh, and… Things were never good if they’re not good now by Donovan Woods also had me hooked this year!

My two favourite album releases from this year would be: Enough of the sweet talk by Lime Cordiale Gravity by The Dangerous Summer Saw TDS in September and they were absolutely awesome. Couldn’t catch LC when they were in the UK as I had gigs but hopefully I’ll get them the next time ‘round. Happy New Year all! Hope those out gigging have good shows and safe evenings. May your gigs be drunken heckler, and beer spillage free 🙏

My two MIM’s. Ole’ faithful 2004 Jazz Standard & 2019 Mustang Vintera 60s. Both lovely instruments. Jazz will never leave me but I think the Mustang might be going soon. Necks a bit thick for me and despite me really wanting to love it, I think I prefer a slimmer neck and a ‘boomier’ pickup.

Yeah in honesty I only use it at home now but if I was to start using it live again I’d replace the pups as they don’t have much growl. The bridge was replaced in about 2008 as the old one was ripping my hand to bits. But, the neck is superb and I’ve had many comments that it’s nicer than a lot of American Fenders much more experienced players have played. Although I’m not sure that’s saying much these days 😂
