Shall I tempt your GAS with medium scale basses?

I still kind of want a Motion Bass.

Fun little 32" P/J with great tone. Very fun to play, and not expensive at all used (haven’t been made in many years).

Oh I’m liking the look of that @howard :+1:
And you’re Christmas wish list is looking good @bernds64

I’m seriously thinking of one of these once my first insurance payout is finalised .

I had a lot of fun noodling on a MB40 in the store. Sweet little bass.

Won’t go wrong with a Mustang either though :slight_smile:

You know I’m going to have to dog deeper into those now don’t you @howard :joy:

I did struggle with the size of the headstock on the Mustang. It seemed disproportionate to the rest of the bass

Weird, it says that one is 34"?

196

Yeah I know?
I was looking at a short scale neck last night and that was listed as 34” too. Strange

Yeah pretty sure they are all 32".

AWB’s bassist used one of that model (with the soapbars):

I’ve just put those strings on the Mikro and wasn’t at all impressed with how dull they were.
Then I dropped the pickups so they weren’t hitting the strings when plucked and all seems to be good

That’s a beautiful bass. and monochrome schemes are amazing. almost all of my bass’ tuners and knobs are a combination of black and silver ( hard to find decent white machine heads…) and my peavey will have combo black and white tape wounds on it when its finished upgrades. But I’m addicted to green so I guess that’s the holy triad of colors/shades for me. But I’m definitely getting GAS looking at that Chowny CHB-1 Would make a great addition to my ever growing pile of Bass’
