WTB Short Scale Bass project

paulnb57

Looking to buy a Short Scale 30inch Bass project, something like an Epi EB0 or similar, anything considered, preferably in bits for a project or just a neck.......

Anyone got anything kicking around under the bed?......

Thanks for that, I've put a bid on it....

Billy bargain, and an easy fix.

paulnb57

Agreed!

Well found! My searching skills are sadly lacking....

They're good necks, but you'll need a matching body, or a custom made job as the width is slimmer than full size Fenders. A Bronco body should be dirt cheap to be honest, but it's not a shape that I like and that's why I had one made for mine. Loads of proper bass players love playing my 'part-time' bass and often say it's a real joy, especially with flatwounds on ;-)

I've seen these bolted to guitar bodies too, especially a tele body.

@JezWynd I'm by no means sorted and am outbid at present!.......needs to be cheap as chips, how much are you looking for?

What is that joker?

I'm serioisly Gassing for another Harley Benton shorty PBass as they are great modding fodder for very little money.....but something different would be nice...

It's a Satellite. Lives in the hall so I don't see it that much. The neck needs sorting, poss shim req. I have a set of shortscale strings waiting to go on it. Now that I'm looking at it, it's quite cute so I don't really want to sell it but I offered it so I should. £75+ pp

paulnb57

Jez, keep it, it would be wrong for me to throw most of it away, hanging in the hall it stays original, I feel much bettar tearing a Harley Benton apart, thanks for the offer!

@paulnb57 I have an old (15 years or so) Vintage Jazz Bass copy. Its a pretty decent bass, sound wise and to play but could do with a bit of TLC and would definitely benefit from some upgrades. It's yours for £60 if you want it.

@Duppy03 is it short scale?

Duppy03

I've not taken a tape measure to it (yet) but going by their current product JB copies are 34", so i'd guess not.
