the bullet 30 is like the forgotten redheaded stepchild of shortscale basses. i think its because everyone bought the regular scale bullet 34 and these little ones are hard to find now. ive seen 100 times more vista musicmaster basses on the market than the bullet 30.
shortscale bass family:
mustang bass
musicmaster bass
vista musicmaster bass
bronco bass
and the bullet 30
it also has the mistique of being the only fender bass to come stock with solid white pup covers

they are cool little basses though.

This reminded me that last night I was wondering how feasible it would be for me to buy a Bass V. I checked them out just now and saw...
Only about 200 Fender Bass V models were produced
Fuck that then.

What sort of $? Is HoG generally overpriced for vintage stuff?

hog doesn't put prices on thier shit. you want a phone # ? you can call and ask them.
just tell them its the "white Fender Bass V on the very top of the long Gibson case near the front door."
they (should) know what you are talking about. they are all burnouts from the 60's though so expect a little bit of "uuuuuuuuhhhh" and "ummmmmmms" when you call
It's unlikely I'll ever buy one and I certainly won't be buying one for a few years, so it's not worth an international call. I might chuck them an email out of curiosity though.
