bassbiscuits Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 These do look fantastic and I'm intrigued to see how they perform - I've not played short scale before, but with old fartdom looming in the not too distant future i'm liking the thought of smaller and lighter....

therealting Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Id be intrigued to find out how they compare to the CIJs - I have one of those and it’s really nice already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you order from, if you don’t mind me asking? Almost certain I’ll end up buying one of these, but I’d like to try one first and haven’t managed to find anywhere that has them in stock yet...

They only had the one though, which was a pre-order I placed last year when they were first announced. Actually ended up cancelling the pre order because I got impatient with it being delayed about 7 times but they were kind enough to let me know it was finally coming in and I temporarily forgot I'm not supposed to be buying any more basses. Nit had chance to plug it in yet but it feels great. Action is a little high out of the box but obviously I can sort that. Same level of quality as the roadworn flea jazz, as you'd expect.

bassbiscuits Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I can see myself falling for one of these if i ever get the chance to try one! I've been keeping an eye out for an older MIJ/CIJ version but they seem to be rare as chicken lips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh87 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 These are now available online with GuitarGuitar, PMT and Absolutemusic. Had it in my basket twice but really want to play one before buying. Guess i am taking a little trip to find one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear your first impressions are positive. Like you I was put off preordering by the constant delays, as well as not actually having played one... but after seeing the how quickly these are selling I’ve bitten the bullet and ordered one online which should arrive on Friday. Can’t wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Quick favour to ask, can anyone with one of these post a pic of the gigbag it came with please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Was the usual standard MIM gig bag with the plectrum shaped zipper. I quickly re-homed it in a hard case as my roadword Flea jazz suffered some nasty finish bleed from the same supplied gigbag and I didn't want this to suffer the same fate. Will take a snap of the original bag when I get home for you. Didn't have chance to take a photo but it's this one: Edited August 31, 2018 by Ruiner To add photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Is it specifically smaller for the Shortscale? Or full on standard MIM bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a full size standard mim gig bag, and therefore has a substantial amount of unused space at the headstock end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, wish I'd known about this before I bought the Fender one (this one https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_case_f_mustang_bass.htm ) OK case but way overpriced for what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
