As a guitar player I never really liked a full scale length bass but wanted something for my home recordings through my focusrite interface. This bass checks all the boxes. I have never had so much fun playing a bass. It's so short it plays like a guitar.im a huge Gretsch fan and this tiny beast is no exception. The price is perfect as well for me as I'm not a bass player. Next time your in the store, take one of these for a rip. I fell in love with it instantly and scooped it right up. Great little Bass for the money.

I recently purchased this bass from the Pickering store. It's even better than I had anticipated. Now that I've had the time to really check it out. The sound is great all the controls work great, the action on it is incredible. I actually feel I've improved as a bass player just playing it because it's so easy to play.

Sounds absolutely stellar, the walnut stain with gloss finish is absolutely beautiful, and is quite reliable. I rated the quality at a 4 because the finish had some nicks in it and the tone occasionally crackles when I'm rolling it up or down but other than that it is a marvelous instrument. Has unbelievable low end for being a short scale bass and the 3 way switch in combination with the tone is quite nice when looking to get some spank, warmth, or a balance in-between. Wherever I go I'm complemented on the sound and looks of this bass.

If you play hard and have a cramp this is perfect for a short switch off to keep the act going. It is built like a tank and will stand up to abuse that would fracture a hollowbody. Good sounding. It may not get played but it always goes to a gig for emergencies. I'd say it's the best of a bunch of short scales. Perfect for early Stones material.

I bought this bass a week ago when I was on my way home from Nova Scotia. I played it at a Long & McQuade in Halifax and was blown away by the tone. I have never played a short scale bass in the 20+ years I've been playing and glad I decided to try this one. The build quality is amazing and it is so light. The neck is very easy on the fingers, and very comfortable to play. Could not believe the price either. I couldn't wait to get back to Ontario so I stopped at a L & M in New Brunswick and brought it back with me. If you are looking for an affordable short scale bass I highly recommend this bass.

Bought this at L&M used.
Nice bass,
Comfortable neck and very smooth sounds.
Running it through a Sansamp and into a PA it retains the smoothness I heard at the store through one of the Ampeg amps
Being a Guitar player using the bass on home recordings, I very much appreciate the shorty scale. The single cut body is simple, classy and timeless. would not be out of place in any style of music.

Baby Dove bought me one. It was on sale. With tape wound strings it goes everywhere in case my hands start cramping up during a set. It is an absolute tone monster, built like a tank, surprisingly heavy, very high output. It is well suited to Bill Wyman Stones. I'm not a big fan of short scale but I have 4 and this one is not as fragile as the hollow bodies. It was at a price I could not refuse and plays/sounds better than I expected. Always goes.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
