Just thought I'd show off my own li'l shortscale and join this shindig.

I have other pictures, but I consider them too 'artsy' as I was just experimenting with my wife camera this past weekend.

Thanx. Bought it a couple of years ago, just thinking of trying something new, and it became my #1 quickly.

Used to lust after them and the 6-string equivalent when they came out... I like the control plate on yours.
I had JUST gotten teh Kurdtz real bad and wanted a Mustang with a locked trem/bridge bucker, and then they came out with those... nobody had a word for it back then but I FELT like "fuuuuuuuu"
Welcome

It's interesting that the MM bass uses a single coil P-bass pickup. I had the Seymour Duncan version in my Bronco a while back and it didn't work well due to the string spacing being off.

welcome. If the bass version is half as fun to play as the guitar version i can see why it is your #1.

Thanx. I put the control plate on mainly because I didn't like the way it tapered at that end. Besides, chrome makes everything look better.

Honestly, that was what attracted me to it was the p'up. I thought it was a SD Quarter Pounder single coil. I figured whats the worst that could happen, a crappy bass and a cool pickup.

Never played the guitar version. Matter of fact, never even played (or seen) any of the other Vista series, with the exception of the Venus 12. But that was about 10 years ago, in another life.

Decided to use a different photo hosting site. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nice custom job. Did you do that pickguard yourself?

DanHeron · Post by **DanHeron** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 11:56 pm

Fix't.

Looks lovely.

Yes, I did. It's not perfect, but it stands out in a good way.

Thanx, to both Mike and DanHeron. How'd you do that? I'm not quite as adept at this as I once was.

Spitfire7 · Post by **Spitfire7** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:23 am

Well looks great man that looks really cool. Im a fan.

No problem. You did the [img] bit right, but used the wrong URL. If you right click on the image >copy image location, that's the url you need.
