Short scale bass and medium scale bass

[WarmothRules]

You look around online and there are plenty of medium and short scale packs of strings but not basses. I love les claypool tone of his walnut 4 stringer and I think a lot of the tonal magic is coming from the 32" scale length. No bass sounds like that bass. I played cheap short scale SG looking bass once and my finger style was so fast and comfortable I couldn't put the bass down for like an hour.

I'm with you on that one. I played a little 30" Epi SG bass for five minutes once, but everyone around me said it was an hour. It was just $100 but it had a big gnarly crack in it so I didn't pick it up, but that is still the bass I hold others up against for fun-factor.

Wow I just came on here to suggest making a medium and short scale bass forgetting I started this thread. They are coming out?

Looks like it, and all becuase of you.  (lol)

I'm going to start saving my pennies for one of these. The middle one in the pic is calling out to me! I still can't decide between 30" or 32" scale - is there an easy-to-find production 32" bass that I could go try out somewhere? I like the feel of a 30" bass, but I think 32" may end up being just the right size for me (34" just strains my fretting hand a little more than I would like).

I'm not sure if it would be ever thinked as a possibility, but I'd love to see a Gecko 32" scale too

Probably not, but I'm working on the engineering of a 34" Gecko 6 at home.  I think I'm getting close on the cyphering and scribbling.....

Great!!
To build from scratch or to see if it's done/accepted??

How about a short scale G5? Having one of those strung up as a tenor would be fantastic.

Can do.  Same with Z Bass.  We don't have either in stock but you can place an order.  As they say.... operators are standing by!!!  :headbang:

DOH!  I need to correct myself.  Short scale G4 is available.  Sorry, no G5.  4 bangers only.

 

[mmarino92]

I see...any plans for a G5 on the horizon?

Hey, why the tuner's hole has the screws holes drilled???

I mean, this is good, but also mean that I can't choose another tuners :sad1:

I think this whole thing is a tease - this has been going on for a year and a half now and nothing on their main page. I want to see one! Dedicated web site or it doesn't exist! (oh wait then do I exist?)

Customers have been asking for the set pins to be drilled for years.  We could always omit the set pin drilling though.

Gah... never satisfied!!!!!!

:hello2:  Nice - I wish the pin holes were drilled on my strat neck for Sperzels.  Would've saved me a few minutes.  :icon_thumright:

Hehehehehehe Sorry! I'm really annoying, I know... Someday somebody will shoot me in the head :laughing7:
But I think this is a great move!

So are you going to start offering the set pin holes for different tuning machines, just like any other option? I know i'd pay an extra 10 or 15 bux.

Not to my knowledge. The CAD guys did the work on the shortscale necks and BML Lights only.
