crazyhorse Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Folks - I posted a question on the Fender Reddit AMA today regarding any future Fender medium scales and this is what they came back with "Great feedback. We have been thinking about where we could fit a medium scale bass in the range. We’ll keep this in mind for future launches" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Suppose I'll add this to the pile - who hasn't modded one of these? It's my first 32" scale (that I remember) and has been modded thus: Ibanez CAP double humbucker (from an ATK810) Series/single/parallel switch added Cheapo Amazon high mass bridge (not that I buy into that, but the original BBOT had a rattly spring which was annoying me) Black/white/black pickguard made by earlpilanz "Block inlay" stickers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrienp Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Nice! I did the series/single/parallel switch wiring too. Made the bass very versatile. I moved it on in the end because of the dreadful neck dive, even with a wide grippy strap. I guess lightweight machine heads would have helped but by that stage I had decided not to throw any more money at it. Bet yours sounds good with that Ibanez pickup!

I must have got lucky - mine was prone to a bit of a flirt with gravity when it arrived, but adding the high mass bridge and the chonkster of a pickup seems to have tamed it somewhat - it won't stay at 45 degrees, but it's holding a position above the horizontal now (using a Neotech Mega strap - grippy, 4" wide at widest point, neoprene) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Shameless plug for two excellent 32” 5ers for sale in case you’ve missed them: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrienp Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Lovely looking basses @Merton. I can’t manage a 5er any longer and these would be way out of my price range anyway but some lucky people will be very happy! GLWTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Another option - albeit and bit pricey. But if you're looking for something a bit different this could work well!

The Eastwood Rivolta https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2024/12/07/eastwood-guitars-announces-the-rivolta-mondata-bass-guitar/ Are those humbuckers? The spec doesn’t say. Expensive for a (presumably) Far Eastern made instrument! I suspect the street price is going to come out a bit less than that after a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
