That does look cool, but playing wise I’m just not into shortscale basses.

I used to think that way but now I see them as a different pallet* option, but yeah 34” is still my preference.


*total potential for using this word as totally pretentious but it’s the best I can do.

To be far I think it’s a yellowed white as opposed to faded orange.

Ahh thought that might be it. I see the grain and different logo on the headstock now, the color looks the same as prison stang orange.
