Damn I need me a SG bass.

Monitoring this thread...

The new Fender Starcaster Bass is a short scale and looks funky :0

I wonder how a hollow or semi-hollow would work in aggressive music with a lot of staccato stuff.

That is some of the most ridiculous video I've ever watched.

Pretty much that is what their shows were like, I saw them 99 with L7, one of the best shows I've ever been to

though So What is really where you can hear that bass at it's best

so much rumble

I also want a short scale because of my wrist, I can't play one of mine for more than 15 minutes now. I've heard they are difficult to detune.

I tune a half step down on two of my Mustangs and it's never a problem. Get some heavy strings on it and you can probably tune down to like D flat/C with manageable flop.

Maybe check out a 32" scale if you need a little more tension.

They look like they were sexy but then they melted a little bit and are sort of lumpy and weird now.

That's how I've always thought of the shape
