mart Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 [quote name='sussexbassman' timestamp='1326468577' post='1497671'] Thanks mart, I might have gone for that, but I see they don't post their guitars (store collection only) and since I live in Sussex, this isn't practical. [/quote] Oh yes, I'd forgotten they were like that. Shame. If I were at all likely to swing by Sussex in the near future, I'd offer to deliver it for you; but unfortunately that's not on the cards.

duffer1 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If you're still looking then try the Ashbory - now sold in the UK by the guy who designed it, Nigel Thornbory, fitted with Aquila Thundergut strings for £200! I went to his base in Wantage and tried/bought one. He seems very approachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'd suggest a Steinberger type, you still have the 34" scale so no muscle memory problems. I'd also recommend an iRig if you have an iphone/ipad/ipod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petek2010 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 The playawayguitars site link also shows a short scale folding bass here [url="http://www.playawayguitars.com/play_away_guitars_shop.php?itemID=1388"]http://www.playawayg...php?itemID=1388[/url] Still more than your budget though.

Vinny Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 My vote comes in for the Samick Corsair, a proper P-bass in 24" scale. (got one and love it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Transaxle Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I tried out one of these a while ago and it sounded pretty decent through an amp. G string was a bit odd; had indentations at regular intervals rather than completely smooth. Put me in mind of an A-level depiction of a myelinated neuron.
