Antoria bass

[MoonBassAlpha]

Anyone tried one of these yet? Always been a sukka for the LP junior double cutaway shape, and been thinking of short scale lately.
Looks like the Antoria brand is getting a bit of a relaunch.

That's really handsome, shame it's a short scale - I understand the neck dive would be horrible on a 34"

I bet that will be nice and it's a good price including case. I had the Gibbo LP DC and the balance was slightly better than my SG but still not great - which is why I ended up selling them both.

If you read the blurb, the short scale was the point of it, it was done with input from 2 pro's who like shorties.

Interesting... found the Antoria website and there's no mention of this bass - just a 6-string guitar. Only finding it FS on Fleabay too.

I just bought one of these, I have to say it’s excellent.

nice weight and build quality is superb.

no neck dive at all.

the hum bucker pickup is nice and even across the neck, the low E is thunderous!

i play in a band called The Geckos out in Spain with Original Zombies drummer Hugh Grundy.

i use it professionally, two to three gigs a week, stays in tune great, and I love the short scale.

came with soft gigbag and a free T-shirt!

ebay, tim gentle music.

a great instrument.

just can’t find a hard case to fit ,apparently the TKL 08824 is a perfect fit bit can’t  find one in uk or Spain?
