Rumple Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 After my recent conversion to medium scale basses I thought I'd start a 32" scale (only) bass thread as I'd love to see what people have. Here are my two, a MIJ Squier Precision Bass and a MIJ Fender JB62M Jazz Bass. [attachment=238899:P1010845 lr.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Did have a 32" Westone Concord. A mad guitar professor in Lenzie has it now [attachment=238900:Concord (2).jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm using my Warwick RB Starbass in preference to my P Bass these days. I'm liking the ease of playing and it looks pretty cool too. The blue strings are long gone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I believe your white one was mine for a while. Fabulous bass. I had several, now down to just one - a Yamaha SB-35. I haven't taken a picture of it, but it looks this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Rather unimaginatively I also have a Squier PB-331 and a JB-32M. I must try harder. These are great little basses and super comfortable to play. Here's a pic of the JB-62M with its (almost) matching Lakland big brother.

skitzigol Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Great thread Rumple. Here's my Westone Concord which is another of Paul's exes. All the tone of a 34", but with the ergonomics and speed of a short-scale. I especially love the maple fretboard on mine, as well as the modded, all-black look which was how I picked it up. I'm on the lookout for another 32" bass, so if anybody notices anything out there then please point me in the right direction. Failing that, I may put together my own. Anyone know any famous 32" users? There are plenty of SS players, but I wonder if we can find any of our fellow medium-scalers! That Yamaha looks like it could be used as a weapon if needed --- an axe in both meanings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheth Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) My 32 scale bass, tried it at a gig a couple of nights ago and it was super. Anyone tried a 5 string 32 bass? What's it like?

DolganoFF Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've built this bass 11 years ago (out of raw wood! ), then modified it at least couple of times. Still is my main bass (that is when I don't play upright)!
