The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Clarky replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Thom Yorke of The Smile (and Radiohead of course) this evening at All Points East Festival, rocking a trio of vintage shorties: an old Mustang, a modded Gibson EBO and a Guild Starfire. -
Sean bought my CIJ Geddy Jazz. Friendly guy, usual BC-style car park meet-up, all good!!! Enjoy the bass, Sean 😀

I bet they are great cabs but something about the design reminds me of Wall-E

On hold, pending the usual -
Yep, it is indeed a Barefaced Super Twin underneath the WB-100. Hoping to spend some quality time together over the weekend!

New (2000 Fender) Hot Rod Bass Day. Acquired from Reverb and in great condition. Seller turned out to be no less than a certain John Giblin 🤯

Handbox are on FaceBook and Leszek is very quick to respond by FB Messenger

Weight is 35 pounds. Price is roughly £850 inc. postage but I await the dread customs charges letter .... Link to the previous version for stats (had Contour rather than Mid control) http://www.handbox.pl/WB-100-ALL-TUBE-p150.html

The eagle has landed. Super build quality/QC and from my first play it sounds very fat and organic.

OVNO bump -
Update on UK-bound new WB-100s: having been marked as exported from Poland on 6th August, the Royal Mail tracker has this evening marked them (well mine but I assume its all one shipment) as arrived in UK today. A "mere" 18 days later (leading to some understandable nervousness). Still have to go through tedious wait for customs assessment, HMRC letter and paying charges before delivery. But at least my amp exists and is in the UK.

Yep, properly adjustable without collapsing like the 3 point bridge always did with me! Plus, being fully clamped to the top of the body makes me think (rightly or wrongly) that it has better sustain. Might be confirmation bias but that's my take -

My pair of short scales, Serek Midwestern in capri orange and Gibson SG Standard in ebony (with upgraded Hipshot bridge) -
OVNO as I have acquired its replacement

Jason bought some TI flat strings from me. All was good! Cheers 😀

Lest you think this is mainly for acoustic instruments, it also does SVT, fat tube emulation etc as well as a ton of other applications

48-hour UK delivery now included in £850 price

I believe the CIJ models (and now the MIM models) only ever came as stock with white scratchplates. The US made Geddy model had a pearloid plate. None had black as standard but its very common to see Geddy models with an aftermarket black scratchplate. Mine came from eBay and was advertised alongside a Geddy template so it fits very neatly with the existing screwholes.

Here is the original white 3 ply scratchplate, which will come with the bass.

I bought these for a 2+2 shortie but discovered within an hour they didn't suit the bass (or more correctly, me). So I promptly removed them. I trimmed the E string slightly, but the others are untrimmed. The silks (which can easily fray with TI flats) are virtually as new, as can be seen from photo. Cost me £51, asking £36 posted for essentially as-new strings (bar aforementioned trimming of E). PS, mistyped price in box. £36 inc.postage not £35 -

Bought a couple of months back from BC stalwart Lozz196. Very good condition. Comes with (slightly battered) tin. Selling as I have decided I want to have more than one tone on tap and have therefore acquired a 3-channel Programmable Sansamp Driver DI. After same as I paid. £150 posted UK. Cheers
