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 Friday at 15:49 Share Posted Friday at 15:49 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrienp Posted Friday at 16:03 Share Posted Friday at 16:03 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 Sunday at 08:39 Share Posted Sunday at 08:39 Shameless plug for two excellent 32” 5ers for sale in case you’ve missed them: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrienp Posted Sunday at 10:32 Share Posted Sunday at 10:32 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...
