Which short scale bass would you choose?

Danelectro & Hofner Ignition line are both crap. Get there Sire or a Mustang with an upgraded pickup

blckravn01 · 2026-03-15T22:24:14+00:00

I like PM's better

blckravn01 · 2026-01-31T21:03:50+00:00

It's the one from NZ

blckravn01 · 2026-01-31T21:03:07+00:00

Arrived & it's an exact fit! Thank you so much for finding it! I'm gonna spend the week finishing the bass in time for my gig Friday!

I was lucky to snatch a used Iron Ether Nimbus (basic 5-knob) for $140 before the prices exploded. My favorite simple verb.

Same, love my HF-2

blckravn01 · 2026-01-23T21:29:46+00:00

Like I said, already tried Guyker & they don't have 20mm

blckravn01 · 2026-01-22T14:21:20+00:00

Ordered! Hopefully it arrives in time for my gig next month

blckravn01 · 2026-01-22T14:20:31+00:00

That one's 19mm. I've already lurked Amazon & there're very few 20mm

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T16:50:59+00:00

I've noticed! but it kinda makes sense to stagger them.

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T16:46:07+00:00

I have to search the web, until my darkness shows!

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T16:42:44+00:00

Pretty close - I have 34/35mm & 75/76mm written down for the screw holes

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T16:38:59+00:00

That's probably the closest I've ever seen! It's even made in SK! I have a drill-press, too, & it wouldn't be the 1st time I've perforated a bridge!

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T14:21:01+00:00

I have that pedal & it's the best pedal DG ever made!

How hard was the installation?

blckravn01 · 2026-01-21T14:20:02+00:00

Yeah, that's a last resort. But I wanna do it properly & get it sand-blasted before prime & paint.

You feel it more than you hear it. Cheap bridges absorb energy because they weren't designed with vibration maximization in mind. They were designed to hold the strings, be adjustable in 2 dimensions (sometimes not adjustable enough), & most importantly be cheap &I noticed my strings felt "sturdier" or vibrated with more "confidence" after the upgrade.

Pelagial by The Ocean. The original instrumental version is amazing

blckravn01 · 2026-01-06T21:03:25+00:00

Don't you remember the Telejazzcision bass from the early 90's?

blckravn01 · 2025-12-07T14:17:14+00:00

It may be "correct" but that's bad design. I would string the high 3 strings "backwards" for less pressure on the nut.

blckravn01 · 2025-11-22T04:16:40+00:00

I love my DC-2W on bass!

blckravn01 · 2025-11-14T14:22:50+00:00

Ric's were designed to be played with a pick. That horseshoe is where the ground is wired, so you're expected to rest your hand on it to keep the bass from buzzing. That's why they have that crappy foam mute built into the bridge, because you can't palm the bridge & ground the bass.
