Shorty Bass White : An undiscovered little gem

8 years ago

Received deliver of this today and was mightily impressed, both with the bass and the delivery service which was excellent.

Pros - its size , it's dynamic range of sounds, price

Cons - none , can't fault it.

Plugging in I was very pleased with the sound. Played it through my CUBE amp and found it was very controllable. The sound from the single pick up was very nice both in bright slap and darker muted tones. Drove well through the amp. Effects such as chorus and distorsion are just lovely and very dirty ?? (which is a good thing ). Very versatile tool.

Full size neck means an easy transition to full size base with no loss of muscle skill from your left hand.

Short body makes it easy to get your hand closer to the nut for trickery riffs. It's size means it is best played sitting on a couch or if standing with a strap with strap locks as the physics of its construct require this... a brilliant bass and portable ! Suitable for students and performance.
