This is my first short scale and it has made a believer out of me. I saw that mike from royal blood uses these and then I saw this color and now it's in my house. I haven't gigged with it yet but boy howdy I can't wait to.
I want to Love it but out of the box there are some issues.
I was really excited about this short scale bass as I had read lots of reviews and i like the idea of a smaller bass. As far as tone control goes I think it is amazing. I love that I am able to change between pickups and get such different tones.
The issues are mostly related to intonation. I waited a few months to be sure that it wasn't just new strings but this thing does not stay in tune. I use this primarily in churches and I find myself needing to tune during each song and in between songs.
The E string is almost unusable as it goes out of tune the easiest.
I am taking it in to the shop for maintenance and I am sure afterwards it will feel and sound great. I was just surprised as Sweetwater is typically pretty good at making sure that it is good to go when they ship it out.
