Does anyone play a Bronco Squier or an old Mustang short scale bass for recording? Do you like it? Comments?
I play guitar; Fenders, PRS and Martins. I write and record at home. I have a Squier P Bass with DiMarzio Hot Bass pickup and a TKL case. I have a hard time with the full scale bass; it seems gigantic in my left hand after playing a Tele.
I started looking at the silly Badtz Maru Bronco thinking that the scale would be great for a guitar player and the bass could be collectable. I paid $350 for a limited edition "Felix" Martin LXM travel acoustic 18 months ago and they are selling for $600.00 + on ebay used now.
My son is 9. The Badtz bass may inspire him to play; he has a baritone uke that he handles very well.
Standard Squire Broncos are $159 new, the Badtz is $199.
Any thoughts on the short scale basses???
