Bass Collection Blues bass (EB3)
« on: April 19, 2011, 05:17:31 AM »
Bass Centre claims it's a medium scale bass. But to me it looks like a normal short scale EB3.
No information what kind of wood it is, and wether it's bolt on or set neck.
Not exactly dirt cheap. But still affordable at 399 BPS

It's not a bad thing that it's available in all colours... (as long as it's cherry red!!)  >:(

I love a good classic ! When you substitute cherry red for black it's Henry Ford's ol' joke about the Model T ......  ;)

i wonder if the nut is wider than 1.50 inches. a narrow neck has always been a deal breaker for me. i like this one.

My '61 has a nice wide flat neck.  I wonder if these are set or bolt?

I've not played one. But I have heard that they are 32" scale, and are £199 at the moment at Bass Centre.
