Hi guys
I appreciate all your replies, keep 'em coming.
Sheldon, If you ever build a shortscale Super J, can you put my name as No. 1 on your list?
As for Kinal, I did call him a couple of times over 4 years ago (about the time I decided to get Jeff to build my Fish Bass) and left a message asking him building me a shortscale, unfortunately I never received a reply. I guess he was busy at the time or not into building shortscales. I can always try it again....At the moment I have one LDS2 Landing Bass on order since I won't get my Dingwall for a while.....I almost ordered a Cortobase from Birdsong but that will be for my next project - if Sheldon hasn't built by Super J shortscale yet that is...lol....
There also this new luthier, Bassone Guitars (remember the beer commercial at the Super Bowl) who is in Vancouver. I checked him out too, definitely impressive considering the short time he's been at it but I think he still needs a bit more experience in woodworking (i.e. pockect fit, etc) before I get him to build me one although that would be fantastic as I could visit the shop every few weeks as he's building it. Maybe not fantastic for him though - lol......I am a perfectionist after all.....lol
A definitely "up and coming" luthier with a good future ahead.
By the way, I bet you my index finger is the shortest one on this site!!
Can you beat 2 1/2 inches? Now you know why I can't play a 34" bass.
LOL - question of the week - Does size really matter?
Loopee
