    Just done a quick search for SX basses online but they don't seem to quote scale lengths except that some are stated as 3/4-scale. Are they all s-s with 3/4-scale even shorter?

    Based on my previous Mesa amps and what I've read on Talkbass I'm sure I'll be blown away. There's certainly lots of love for them on the US forum.

    Just waiting for mine to be delivered by Andertons next week - allegedly! The amp has been out in the US since June and the dedicated Talkbass thread (which started even earlier) is a mine of information. I kid you not when I say that it's one of the few things that helped me survive lockdown. Designer Andy has been a major contributor from the start, posting on a daily basis with guidance and in-depth answers to all queries. Deeply impressive!

    Recently got an ABM600 EVO lV in part-ex from Nigel. Great amp, super-smooth transaction, top guy.

    Apparently mine is stuck in a warehouse in the Netherlands till first week in Jan. Based on a quick online search, there would be the normal 20% VAT plus an extra import duty of 3.7% to pay if we default to WTO trading terms. Good news is that Andertons will honour the original order price regardless of what Brexit brings.

    Seeing that 'Made in Germany' sticker does give you a nice reassuring feeling.

    Not played one myself but from what I've seen and heard these are excellent. If timing had been different, I would probably have bought this instead of the equally excellent SBMM s-s 'Ray I got recently. GLWTS.

    Cazpars are an absolute joy to own and play. GLWTS

    Just been emailed this from a friend in France featuring allegedly famous bass lines. Embarrassed to admit that I can only guess 5. Mind you, the average French muso's idea of what qualifies as popular music is somewhat different from my own and probably at least one of these was a Johnny 'alliday hit 🙂 Over to you. bass devinettes.mp3 Untitled attachment 00042.html

    The Cazpars are amazing! I've had 3 and if money was no object would have kept them all. Unfortunately, the basses I have at any given time are decided by the gigs I'm doing - or hoping to do at the moment!

    Despite being a short-scale-only player, I've only just found this topic. Thanks to all those who've posted some very interesting pic's so far. I'll add a few of my own when I get a minute. THIS TRULY IS THE GOLDEN AGE OF SHORT-SCALE BASSES!

    Yep, 'Impulse Buys R Us'! If this were a short-scale, I'd probably be doing it right now 🙂

    Dan just bought my BF Two10 and it's been a pleasure dealing with him. No hesitation in recommending this top Basschat-er to others.

    A real beauty that one! What a Christmas present will that be for some lucky new owner. GLWTS

    Thanks for looking but now sold pending the usual stuff.

    Cab and BF cover both in A1 condition with no dings/scrapes or Tolex peel. This 'S' version is switchable between 4 and 12 ohms and spec'd at 600W, though Alex at BF says they're good for 800 clean watts. I've gigged it in a rock covers band at 4ohms with an Eden WT550 Traveler and 12ohms with a Mesa Subway D800+ - both plenty loud enough for me! Collection only or happy to meet anywhere within a half-hour drive from J25 M5 when covid rules allow.

    Yes, you'd need a 28-metre-long racing 8 for that - provided, of course, the rowers and cox are wearing the PPE needed for 1m distancing. If they want to maintain the recommended 2m distancing, they need a 36m-long boat. Sorry... I'll get my coat. Wait a minute - I can't leave the house!

    ...or predicting one.

    Thanks for your insightful words Phil.

    Latest forecast/prediction/target/guesstimate/lie (delete as appropriate) from top gov't adviser (!?) over the weekend was that everyone over 50 will have been vaccinated by Easter - hopefully that's 2021!

    Just bought a nice little 'cheap shortie' as advertised by Matt. Smooth transaction from start to finish. Deal with confidence!

    Yep, if you factor in custom builds, the choice is limited only by your imagination! Maruszczyk have a decent choice of s-s designs - both stock and made to order - and their online configurator lets you personalise your design (not the basic body shape but there are loads of those on offer) and displays a very realistic image of what you've designed. The Cazpar is their only dedicated s-s design but they also do s-s versions of the Elwood with either a solid or chambered body. I've had a few of both and very good they were too. You're effectively getting a custom build for around half what you'd pay a 'boutique' luthier/builder. Or you could commission our very own AndyJr or Jabba to build you one. Here are my two shorties from Andy: http:// http:// These are my go-to gigging basses and I could not be more pleased with them. Custom-built s-s? DO IT!!
