BassApprentice Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) So first Sire go and release a shorty PJ and now Sandberg are throwing their hat in the ring. Definitely spoilt for choice if you're looking for a short scale this year! https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/01/19/sandberg-guitars-announces-the-lionel-short-scale-bass/ Edited January 20, 2020 by BassApprentice Quote
burno70 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Love the blue one! Have a short scale with jazz pups and would love another with precision pups - this could be the one! Quote
Adee Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Sandberg have always offered a 32.5" option (for an extra £250), I was told this was the optimal shorter scale!? Good to see them finally offering a 30" Quote
fretmeister Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I like that. Wonder how much it will cost. Quote
BassApprentice Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 I'm going to guess around £900 retail for these. Not really sure what I'm basing that on but seems good 😅 Quote

Good to see them finally offering a 30" Well I didn’t know that. I really like the VS4 model but am set on 32” (or less) thesedays. They don’t advertise their 32.5” scale option much! Quite interested in these shorties... Quote

scrumpymike Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Short-scale Sterling by MM Stingray also announced! That looks very nice but likely to be around £2k - which is the price a near-new personal import is up for on here. Don't forget the various Maruszczyk s-s basses that have been on offer for a while btw! 1 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Is anyone seriously going to buy a bass called Lionel? Is that Bart, Blair or Barrymore? 1 Quote

scrumpymike Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Great for dunking - but you have to be quick 😋 Quote
