JohnDaBass Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 So Stu's back home with a lovely new dual action Truss Rod, a 50 year old rosewood fret board, satin finish neck and huge chunk love bestowed on it by probably one of the best Luthiers in the UK Jon Shuker himself. The whole horror story is on the Repair thread I'm just so grateful to Jon Shuker for the fantastic standard of craftsmanship he delivered in bringing by US Stu Hamm back to life. Top man!! 6 Quote

BELA Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 I have got a Fernandes FRB revolver PJ bass on my radar. Made in Japan 1980. 32" scale. Is it any good? The price is around 500€ Quote
BritBass 2 Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 My medium scale Alembic 8 string from the 1980’s. 9 Quote
MacDaddy Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 All my Shuker's are 32" to the nut. Slightly longer to the end of the frets for the low D. 6 Quote

walshy Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Picked this up today for a very modest sum of money. Didn’t go to buy it, it just kinda happened and was added to a deal. I must say, even with crappy old strings on it sure sounds nice! 9 Quote

Badscrew Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Got this Squier Jaguar H last July, just an impulse buy on its looks. Still not sure I'll be keeping it but it for sure looks nice 3 Quote

molan Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 I have a, pretty rare, JV series Precision with a 32” scale. Strung it with a set of TI flats and it’s a lot of fun to play! 1 Quote

It's a little creamier coloured than it looks in most of the pics. The inner parts of the cutaways have really darkened in colour. I had a feeling this might clean off but I quite like the aged look 😁 From the serial number it's a classic JV era '82 - '84. I seem to remember reading these were Japanese domestic market only but no idea if that's actually true! 8 Quote
Dazed Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Is the body standard sized @molan? Just a shorter neck? Great dark fretboard, almost black! Quote

Body is smaller as well - both in terms on length and width. I think this keeps everything looking in a good general perspective. Sometimes you see a shorter scale neck on a regular body and it can look a little 'wrong'. The fretboard is lovely. In a crazily good condition as well, not a mark on it! It has a surprising amount of tonal variation as well. Really deep & thumpy with the tone backed off but bright and poppy with it on full. 2 1 Quote
Skezza Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I am looking for another 32 inch scale 4 string. has anyone spotted any for sale recently? Quote
Alabaster Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 My favourite bass at the moment, 32 inch Ibanez Mezzo with a few modifications: 5 Quote
fretmeister Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Has anyone got a Sandberg 32? They don't really advertise it, but they will make every model as a 32 and the additional custom cost is the same as for a 35 scale of anything. I saw someone on facebook with a 32 scale VS4 (P bass type) and it looked fantastic. I'm so comfy on 32 scale that I'm giving serious thought to selling off the 34 scale stuff and getting a Sandberg built. Quote
