jaccjazz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Sale price: £449.00 including hard case. Jump the Queue! These can be ordered from Scott Whitely website on PREORDER. So you would have to wait. This one is available here and now, new, unblemished, just as I received it from Scott. The cost from Scott's website would be £499.00 plus another £69.00 for the case, a total of £568.00. It took rather longer than the preorder time to come so in the meantime I got something else (a couple of something’s actually) and so now I have to cull what I’ve got. This is brand new so is the best candidate. It has remained in the case since I got it, coming out only for the occasional try out. The SWB-1 Standard is a professional, modern-sounding short scale bass at an affordable price. I believe it has a similar spec to the one Scott Whitley uses himself. This one has a mahogany body which is lighter that the ash alternative (according to Scott) and is active. It also comes with a hard case which would ordinarily cost an extra £69. Sale price: £449.00 plus free hard case. Shipping at buyers expense. So you get the whole shebang for £50 off the bass itself, a free case, and you don’t have to wait.

scrumpymike Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just a few words of encouragement to anyone interested in SWB-1 basses and this one in particular: mine is now my main gigging bass thanks to its great quality, sounds and compact, light-weight design; the weakness of the pound following the Brexit vote means that prices for imports will go up - including bass guitars bought in USD from China. In other words, now could be a good time to buy this one and bag a bargain! In fact, if my Fender Rascal sells, I'll be very tempted to add this active mahogany bass to my passive ash one.

jaccjazz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 OK, so it seems that now these great short scale basses can only be preordered to be delivered by beginning of November. So the queue just got longer! Get one now and jump the queue - with a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZBass Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Great looking bass. Hope to own one someday. I have small hands...can you share the nut and 12th fret width? Is there any neck dive? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaccjazz Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi Yes a lovely bass and in as-new condition. There is no neck dive and the neck is very easy to get around. The dimensions you want are as follows. Width at nut: 35mm Width at 12th fret: 50mm I'm in Surrey near Guilford, so if you're within reach, you're welcome to come and try it out. PM me.

solo4652 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Is the nut width really 35mm? That does seem rather narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaccjazz Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Hi, The nut has slightly chamfered/angles at each side. But using my trusty tape measure I still read 35, maybe 36mm allowing for that. To compare I measured my Warwick Corvette short scale and that's 37mm at the nut. The SWB-1 does have a narrow neck.

All thumbs Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 [quote name='jaccjazz' timestamp='1470486065' post='3106340'] I believe it has a similar spec to the one Scott Whitley uses himself. [/quote] It's EXACTLY the same as the one I've been using with Big Country since December last year! :-) Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
