    I have started playing short scales recently - starting with a little Gretsch expanding since then into a U5, JMJ Mustang and an Acinonyx. Shallow I know but I Googled short scale red bass because for showbiz reasons I needed a red bass to match some stage outfits! What came top of the list was a refurbished Vox Starstream Artist 2S on the Vox website. Including gig bag it was £350. Given they were well north of a grand when they came out - and some people had paid that - I went for it. I took it to a gig and our sound engineer raved about it compared with my other basses. Ironically I don't enjoy playing it as much as the Mustang and the Acinonyx basically because they have flats on them which feel better to me - so my next quest is to find flats that sound brighter than a normal flat. It's a weird looking thing and not everybody's cup of tea but it's nicely balanced and very light and with the right strings could be my go to bass - something I never would have predicted when I Googled red short scale.

    I have very few things cheaper or an equivalent price to the Danelectro - I have a Sire V7 Jazz style bass which I have played about half a dozen times, a TC Electronic Spectra Drive and a TU tuner currently fitted into a Boss BC Box and an Aguilar Octamizer. Of greater value I have a Vintera 50s Precision in Vintage Blonde and a red Spector Legend 5 Classic. And a ridiculously higher value Sandberg California TM4 Super Light in Redburst. All probably no good for you! .

    What are you interested in by way of trades?

    I'm humming and aahing about the colour. I had my mind set on the Lake Pacific Blue.

    Bought a Sire U5 from Andy - great fellow to deal with and bass exactly as described.

    Easy transaction - top man.

    I'm interested in these- looking for something super lightweight as I enter the creaking age. Any good?

    She's a pretty little thing. Seafoam Green or whatever the equivalent Dano colour is. In pretty good nick - couple of marks and blemishes which I've shown on the picture. I guess you either want one or you don't. It's long scale which, if you've played one you'll know and never forget, means very long. I just haven't got on with it. I was going to stick it on a wall but that's really a fate no bass guitar deserves. It should be played. Bought 2nd hand pre-lockdown and I have used it for one rehearsal since then and minimal playing at home. It's strung with flats which is nice. No case so collection only - or meet up somewhere appropriate. I'm based in Cookridge in Leeds.

    The afternoon I was going to have it! Drat.

    Is this still available?

    There aren't many Superlights in the wild! I went looking and if I didn't want to by a custom one I could only find 3 4 string versions for sale in the whole of Europe. I ended up buying one that was shipped to Leeds from Madrid. Guess what - it's superlight! Haven't gigged with it yet but it feels lovely to play.

    Just picked up a Talman 30 in ivory. Pricy for second hand - £135 - but the bloke had fitted flats to it. Not plugged into my big amp yet but good through headphone amp and great fun to play.
