    Just spotted this (via Danny Sapko). A LeCompte 31.18" scale (very precise?) but with a reverse headstock. Having never played a bass with a reverse headstock, does it have a noticeable impact on string feel/tension? I know some complain about the lower strings on short scales feeling a bit off.

    Imgur not playing ball with these new laws makes browsing old threads much less useful...

      Dimwits bringing in laws to control the sheeple's lives.

      Image hosting sites always go down eventually. Can't think of many that I used 10-15 years ago which are still active

      The difference is imgur have exited the UK due to a change in the law.

      They continue to maintain their service to non-repressive countries elsewhere around the globe.

    Another cool Musicmaster that's had some extras added. My Musicmaster is looking awful boring over there...😂

    Incredible. Makes me sad that someday in the near future we won't see any new Status like this, was always a goal to try and spec my own. Far too cash poor to afford this, but someone will be very lucky to get it!

    My dad uses these for all his various guitar leads/gubbins. Could be a good way to keep the most used tools to hand? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/skadis-pegboard-white-10321618/

    Well - there goes my weekend plans! I was going to swing by Jimmy's and try it 😂

    Would throw in MTD Kingston to your list. I had the most basic Kingston model and was really impressed with it. Sad I sold it tbh.

    So dealers have started updating their websites - £299. How does that sit given specs and what you might choose as an alternative? https://www.jimmyegypt.com/cort-gb-short-scale-bass-forest-green?srsltid=AfmBOorp25-uBNzH-_YfNTakUjqyTxZiaXJrDePoxu79ZXU44aVtLCO7

    To be fair - I think this is a feeler for Cort (although they can surely see the SS market is pretty well established now...) The Action Jr is very basic, this has a few nicer aspects (roasted maple neck, Mark Bass preamp) so it probably will be around £250 rather than my previous comment of £160. If it goes well, I reckon you'll see a Fusion SS in the future.

    Yes - in Indonesia https://nafiriguitar.com/products/cort-gb-short-scale-in-forest-green?srsltid=AfmBOopK397Wey0rPCGWk7wvtf4yj9f8Bfhh1C90tfxNJpzpr7NQLcA5

    Looks and sounds good to me
  13. BassApprentice
    I mean, if they are around £160 - it could very easily be black with a bit of work. Matching headstock too.

    Adam Clayton is moving on some of his basses and other bits and bobs. They are, unsurprisingly, not cheap 😅 https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/played-worn-torn-2025

    I just stopped by GuitarGuitar in Glasgow and they had 2. Picked it up to compare it to the 4003s they had and the dimensions are the same. As is the weight... Didn't play it as I didn't want to waste the guys time but it's just a weird way of executing a short scale.
  16. BassApprentice
    This might win the award for least helpful reply in a thread resurrection 😂 7 months later and this is what he got.
  17. BassApprentice
    Having actually properly looked at this range instead of just making jokes about Fender recycling model names. These are some of the best colours they've had in a range in a while IMO. The Green P bass and Mustang look great.
  18. BassApprentice
    A full model with the 2+2. Both look great, just depends on your preference.
  19. BassApprentice
    They have. Or if they haven't, they probably will. Maybe. The Standard American (but it will be made in Mexico)
  20. BassApprentice
    I have a Vista Musicmaster - my first ever bass - which I love dearly...but is always on the edge of being modded. Leaving the original pickup but maybe a nice chrome humbucker at the bridge? Only nostalgia is stopping me from doing it
  21. BassApprentice
    Which no-one seems to like either (See Sire, G&L (RIP), Harley Benton etc.)
  22. BassApprentice
    I've followed Seldon on Instagram for a good while and really like his designs, even the weird headstock! For those that don't like it, he can do a more traditional 2+2 for you...
  23. BassApprentice
    I'm sorry, but for £3,400 - that's sheer laziness. Zero effort to actually try and make a new model, especially when they have the 480 in their back catalogue Think what most other custom builders could do for over £3k.
  24. BassApprentice
    Not sure what or why, but I just wouldn't buy a Retrovibe. I guess I think they are quite expensive for what they are. Bitsa basses with a nice setup.
  25. BassApprentice
    Another week - another new set of models/colours. Both absolute winners again for me.
