Fionn Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Has anyone seen these half-scale Wing basses? Sure, you need to use an octaver with them, but cool idea ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZsnq8jx_aE https://www.wingbass.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not a bad idea for folks who are away on business a lot. I have often thought about a fiver from the 5th fret upwards - so E-C - to make a shorter bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I struggle to see the real world application, besides having a bass to take with you whilst travelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammers Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is it even a bass though? It doesn't have any actual "proper" bass notes unless paired with an octave pedal Good for those only practicing chords/solo stuff beyond the 12th fret, not a fat lot of use for anything else I would of thought. A 5 string cut off at the 5th fret makes a lot more sense though, shorter with a full standard bass range. Win-win for a travel bass!
