I almost bought this, but I have a long scale five string. It seems pointless to have the same bass in two different scale lengths. Although my bad shoulder would love this!!! https://reverb.com/item/38393933-kiesel ... yburst-thy |

I'm not usually a fan of the Vader shape, but it looks better proportioned as a shortscale! I bet this would be a ton of fun to play, and ridiculously compact! I didn't know the Hipshot headpiece made it possible to use regular single-ball strings (let alone shortscale), but apparently it does! You can clamp the strings down with Allen bolts in the headpiece:

Yep, this is also the same type clamping system used on Zon VB-4/Vinnys. I have both a bass and a guitar with this type of headless system and you can use basically any normal set of strings. |

Cool! It's not unlike the system that's on my Status basses (although mine don't have the 32" scale with Bendwell pictured here, but are regular 34" scale):
