Squier Paranormal Rascal Bass HH MBK

Short scale, high quality

I had an injury that made playing a long scale bass uneasy, so I decided to try out a short scale. The great features come along with great looks and a good sound. First things first. Its sound is thick, loud and clear, but kinda vintage for my taste. With the right gear though, it works the way I want. Don't let my 4-star rating make you dislike it. It's a matter of taste alone, go one and give it a try. Now, about the quality of built. It's a really great instrument, not really heavy yet not quite light, with a comfortable neck and fretboard. Its tuners and bridge are stable and the woods appear to be of a good quality. If it had a different brand name on the headstock, it would be one of the best MIM models. Last but not least. If you are afraid that a shorty would look tiny on you, then fear not about that bass. The bridge is higher on the body than usual, so this feature makes it look as big as a standard P bass. Overall, this is a pretty decent instrument with lot of character!
