Why so many SS basses at the moment? They’ve lost that ‘beginner’s bass’ monkey, been shown to have really good, fundamental tone for recording and (with my cynic’s hat on) is another avenue for manufacturers to make us buy another bass, so they’re highlighting them (possibly a bit of the emperor’s new clothes, but they’ve got to keep us buying). I have proper short scale GAS at the moment, but mine came from hearing a tone I really liked in a video and then searching for details on said bass (it was a Serek, but they’re too many £s for my wallet) and then going out and trying some shorties (Epiphone, Gretsch and a Fender JMJ Mustang) before lockdown. Played a Fender Vintera Mustang today and a Wilcock Mullarkey. The latter was fantastic, but the Fender was not bad at all and, at a third of the cost, is a bit of a no brainer.

Whoa! Harsh daddy! 😱 Well, you gotta call it like you see it. More basses! 😂

Looks like Ped Junior's college fund is taking a bashing and poor old Sybil will be on kibble and water for the foreseeable future. 😂
