Storky Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I fancy an EB0 type bass, but don’t want anything heavy or that neck dives. Does anyone know of a short scale EB0 type bass with the right sound that meets the brief? cheers folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 The Gibson Les Paul Junior double cutaway reissue bass ticks all your boxes and, for a genwine Gibson, are pretty cheap, too. AND they smell nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Not even remotely as it happens - it is a really well balanced thing. The bridge is well back on the body, the tuners are Hipshot ultralite. Another great thing is because of the pickup position the tone isn't quite a muddy as the 'mudbucker' and has more bite to it. I play in a blues/rock trio and it sounds perfect for that.
