Market for Short Scale

[five7]

I think the same can be said with 18 volt v. 9 volt preamps.

Ouch!

Oh, I agree. Thing is, you never heard me say that 9volt preamps are for sissies.

 

[the unrepentant]

i was only joking, calm down

unless you have tiny hands or something though i don't really see the merits, certainly the market isn't very big.

that might depend on who manufactured the 9 volt preamp (or if one of the batteries fell out of my bongo...)

I wouldn't be too interested in a short scale EBMM bass.

 

[MrMusashi]

id rather play rubber bands

I agree. I would be more interested in an acoustic EBMM bass.

ooooh controversial!
Heard of the earthwood? They're VERY rare.

 

[Psycho Ward]

I would be interested in a short scale bass from EBMM, in a lefty of course. The short scale behaves differently and for some material it works great. The G string is especially different, in a good way.

voltage is nothing without current.

 

[MrMusashi]

oh no.. midget version of psy ward running around in g-string...

i did so not want that picture swooshing around in my head... gaaaaaahhh!!

[JohnnyBoy]

+1 stiffness!

 

[Powman]

Now that would be interesting...a hollow body MM bass to sound more like an upright or just generally have a mellow sound.

again, may i refer you to the earthwood. They didn't do too well, it seems, that or they were just too difficult to make. Here's a thread.

Lower string tension, generally. Have you ever played one? They're fun, especially if you like to do bendy stuff.

 

[kevins]

NO! musicmans are supposed to be heavy! and huge! and they make you strong!

whats the point of a shortscale bass anyways? i have one myself and wondered why they make them shorter?

 

[strummer]

While I don't think there'd be a huge demand for a stort scale Musicman, I would be pleased if there was one
I like the feel of the Fender Mustang/musicmaster, and I would definitely get a 30" fourstring Musicman bass if there was one.

My bad, I guess I wasn't specific, as thats not what I meant. I meant a semi-hollow bass like the R0b All3n or G0d!n A4 A5 stuff.

Acoustic bass guitars make no sense to me unless it is an upright. You still can't hear them unless you hook them up to an amp. The wavelength of the low frequencies are too long to properly resonate in any of these so called acoustic bass guitars.

But the semi-hollow bass is not going to be huge, yet could be the closest thing to an upright sound. I like this idea....

Yes!

 

[and lombardini]

...a MM shortscale would be usefull for flying with some airlines...and it would be one of the few goodsounding shortscales...
