You know me too well Andy of course there’s was a next one I made a short scale Acoustasonic style Bass that I use for my Acoustic Punk tribute band 

 

 

In the pipeline is a 30inch 2 string Cigar box Bass 

 

 

Loving the acoustic bass! 30" short scale? 

Just got myself the Martin short scale acoustic bass for a Levellers inspired acoustic folk rock group in involved with - previously been playing Kala Uke basses. Your punk acoustic short scale would fit right in!! 😁👍🤘

Yeah here’s a mock-up of how it will look, I’m not sure of the colour combo yet I’m thinking blue with yellow stripes but that might change? 
 

[PaulThePlug]

Yellow with Black Speedblocks ala Yamaha USA...

Or White with Red Speedblocks ala Yamaha UK...

 

Blue with Orange ala Gulf Racing GT40ish

Always glad to help Jim 🤭

I decided to go a slightly different route on the short scale Punkcoustic bass the top will have a bit more of a natural look which will be sunburst into the black back and sides........👍🏻

 

[Jimothey]

Also I started making my back up 5 stringer but I can't decide if I want the body to be black or white?.........👍🏻

 

[Si600]

Black. The chequer board looks a bit weird on white to my eyes.

[baldwinbass]

Black

[SpondonBassed]

Black for me too.  I suppose I could get used to the white body but I don't think it works as well for two tone music.

 

Of course, A strong yellow body would be excellent.

Funny you say that I am considering Yellow as well!! It would match my custom strap I made the other week 🤔
