fretmeister Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Ordered a Lionel short scale VS4 passive, but going with the Superlight woods for hopefully the smallest lightest solid bass on the planet. Now the 12 month wait begins for delivery. But, surprise upon surprise... that would just about match up with my 50th birthday and the missus offered that it be my present! I was not expecting that! Going with black, rosewood board with abalone dots. Chrome hardware. Something like this: I'm already impatient!! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Nice, bummer about the wait though (cue drumming of fingers on any available surface for the next year). Did you try a Lionel first or have you gone on trust, BC opinions and instinct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 I recently bought a cheap shortscale Precision type to see if I was happy with the scale length, and I'm playing that more than anything else in the house. And I'm well familiar with the Sandberg neck shape. It's my favourite I've found so far. My existing Sandberg is a Superlight TT4. So it's a bit on trust, but reasonably well informed!

fretmeister Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 About a month early. I suspect I’ll be allowed to check it over and then have to wait until the day. 🥲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
