WANTED: Used lightweight lefty short scale

Post by iambucket »

I'm looking for a neck anywhere between 30" and 28"

I want it to be light and easy to play

Not looking for a SG or Beatle bass (the Hofner Club would be good though)

Outside of that, I'd like to see what is offered before adding more qualifiers

Thank you,
Danny

I hear it plays nice but I'm not a fan of the aesthetic. I don't like really severe horns.

Also, I was hoping to get something used, hence posting here.

Have you considered an Ibanez Mikro? Very lightweight and under 30” scale.
Cheap too.

I have looked at that. It is actually the one I'll most likely get if nothing turns up used.

It's not really light weight but this is a great bass at a great price.

It says P Bass in your link but goes to an Ibanez.

I already have a P Bass, I want a light, short scale.

Wow, I have never seen that before in ebay, you will see in the Blue Box that it says the item you are looking for is not longer available and sends you to another bass.

eBay started doing that a month or so ago with ended listings. Kinda confusing.

I know you are looking for used, but if you don’t have any luck, maybe consider a Warmoth build. They do shorties as well. In any case, best o’ luck! Hope you find what you want sooner rather than later. :)
