Is it cause of the three PUs?
You know me so well 
That said: I still prefer mine, with the three switchable single/dual coil Humbuckers. So much flexibility, even though I rarely need to switch.
What I really like about the bass you posted: they put the bridge at the right position.
This short scale can truly be as short as itâs supposed to be!
I have a Moog Theremini! More expensive than the Stylophone one but worthwhile and easier to play than a ârealâ Theremin.

Conversion of a J
EDIT: Opted for the Rosewood roasted/flamed maple in the end. It will get a set of black G&L/Stering tuners because I already have the drop tuner on another G&L. So I guess itâs slightly custom.

Man I looked at those a few years ago when I saw one on the series âAmerican Horror Storyâ One of those would go great with my didgeridoo!

With 32 sound presets and pitch correction (which can be turned down) it is different to a classic theremin but the technique is the same and its tricky to play. Iâve had mine for over 3 years and still have a lot of fun with it.

I looked into buying one a few years ago but couldnât justify the cost for something I would probably only use to recreate sound effects from Doctor Who

Here goesâŚ
In the beverage world, there is a type of manufacture called aseptic processing. Think dairy, protein, juice, sports drinks in thin walled plastic bottles (fairly standard now). Problem is aseptic is very equipment and knowledge intense. You are essentially sterilizing all the equipment, sterilizing the product (beverage) and filling it in a sterile package in a sterile enviornment. The equipment is sterilized with heat and/or chemicals (H2O2 for low acid beverages) and the bottles/caps are also sterilized with H2O2 (vapor phase).
Anyway, creating these beverage at small scale (pilot scale) is impossible without significant capital investment and know-how, so no one really did (esp. for plastic bottles). So, I took the gap and filled it with the place I designed and built (https://ultraphil.com/).
When i was laid off from PepsiCo for being too $$$/old/white, too everyting that made me a great layoff target, it was time to take a chance (yes, ageism is a really real thing).
Now, every major and minor beverage company comes to us to make small run samples for shelf life/sensory/analytical/consumer testing or to make sales samples or promo giveaway samples etc. Working with loads of startups as well. Shit ton of work but itâs a load of fun. Saw the need, took the chance.

I like the tones coming from this pedalâŚpunchy as heck. I would like to hear the full throttle gain to hear what kinda fuzz it would make.
Iâm curious what you thought about this pedal for bass. I own several fuzz pedals, some with a clean blend, some not. For bass a pedal is a lot more versatile with a clean blend, imo, but Iâd looked at that one and passed it over.
Never wanted a short scale bass before until approximately right now.

Good luck finding one. At Thomann, the mahogany variant is available âin several monthsâ. They canât even quote times on the maple variant. I donât know what the used market looks like. They are well under 2K ⏠new, so not horribly expensive.

This is an awesome story, John. I looked at the website, and there is something missing. In your bio, it doesnât say âBad Ass Bass Playerâ.

Hereâs a jam session with it
I was lucky to find one in mahogany, now all I see in the US are for 2027. It could be here tomorrow, more likely Wednesday.
