Burns-bass

How did they rip them off? I’m intrigued more than anything.

On the balance of 4 pages, I’d say no.

Ask them to order it and it'll be with you in a few weeks. Libraries regularly share books, it's why they're 100% amazing.

He produces it, someone shares it, more people watch it, he earns money, we all scratch our heads wondering why we bother = internet.

This is all solid knowledge, and why I love Basschat. The bass probably is a good buy, but weighing it all up (quite literally given the bass was on the heavy side!) I decided on the SS Jaguar. I tried it and found it a nice weight and well balanced, and about half the price (with the VAT off).

Cheers Jono, brilliant info. In the end I decided to order my daughters a new Jaguar bass which I can use. The shape felt better in the shop and I get VAT off so it’s all good.

Yeah, that’s good advice. I hadn’t ever seen one of these mini jazz basses before, hence me being interested in opinions. It seems they’re quite scarce which either means they’re rare and desirable or junk. I’ll sleep on it.

I asked for advice precisely because I haven’t decided...

It wanted advice as to whether the bass was worth the price, what people had found during ownership, how it compares to other short scales etc. Hopefully that helps.

If we all thought like that out economy would never grow... It’s a fair point. To explain further, I thought it might be a good bass to have for the future for my kids to learn on and to have around the house and to use at practices. I currently only have one electric i use (my 1966 is stuck under a bed), so thought I might be a good back up. This is what I class as not really needing something.

Good point. Jazz bass.

I can’t see why you’d bother. Just keep it and then sell it the next time and Eminence comes up for sale...

Right, advice needed. I’ve found a modern player shortscale. It has refinished in black and fitted with hipshots and Seymour Duncan’s. Needs a clean and a set up but I can do all that. It’s £300. I don’t really need it, but it played nicely. Any advice from current owners on whether they’re worth it etc.?

This...
