For those of you watching this wondering about purchasing a short scale bass, I am not a student, a child, or a guitar player, and I have average-sized hands, but I bought a Squier Jaguar SS short (30") scale because it sounds great, has a comfortable reach, feels good against my body (much like a Jazz), and is light to wear on my shoulder. After playing it and listening to it, I don't know why people need a 34" neck on their basses, unless perhaps they have large hands. All things equal, the strings will be a little looser (which some people might prefer), but you can tighten them up (reducing fret rattling) by getting heavier gauge strings and/or flatwounds, which require more tension.
i came here to say this. i am quite new at playing bass and started on a frankly very heavy full sized bass and couldn't play for more than a little while at a time due to the weight, picked up a short scale which weighed less than a third of what I started with and found it much easier.
... Or you can just get short scale strings. Do people not know about short scale strings? I feel like no one ever acknowledges the fact that they’re a thing.
I'm 16, I bought the short scale bass cause the regular sized ones make me look like I'm holding a bloody tree. Yes, I'm awfully short.
@krisnackles ʕ•ع•ʔ I'm short, too, and it really makes a difference in appearance. The body of my Jaguar SS also has a rather streamlined look compared to the Jazz and Precision, which adds to the effect.
Weight?
Bought the Jackson Minion bass about a year ago because I have 3 kids and it's in my lap on the couch for every Andertons video
Short-scales: for beginners like Paul McCartney and Stanley Clarke. Common guys, you're great players but you might want to look into things a little bit.
Jack Bruce and Mike Watt never really got anywhere with their bass playing because of the fact that they both played short scale basses. Another cautionary case is Justin Medal-Johnsen, what an absolute beginner hack bass player. Also what is even a beginner bass, sure beginner bassist makes sense, but how does an instrument become a beginner?
Les Claypool plays on a 32” piccolo bass.
@@Isaiah-ft5nx Yeah but he could strum the line on a flagpole and sound incredible, the man clearly has an arrangement with some sort of demonic entity.
As well as Tina Weymouth and Tim Lefebvre! Absolutely killer bass players in their own right
You guys forgot Andy Fraser. Another beginner bassist!
I love how Nathan always acts shocked and surprised when he’s finished the opening jam and looks down to see what he’s playing like it just got put in his lap. “What have we here?!”
"Probably the smallest pickups I've ever seen."
Piezo pickups: am I a joke to you?
Lee's playing for that minute or so from 14:12 is BEAUTIFUL.
I could listen to these guys bass jam all day🎶🎶🎶
Shout out to whichever engineer set that jam up at the beginning - beautifully recorded bass sounds
That Mustang bass is the bomb
Gotta have it in surf green!
Hell yeah! The Mustang ROCKS!!! 😎🤘🏻
@@pleromicpastry5445 Great color, along w the powder blue.
Who bothers to thumbs-down youtube videos? And what's to not-like about this.... other than the good mood, good humour, great playing and useful information?
I find it annoying that they continually say these instruments are for kids when there are many famous pros who play short scale. They say the same thing on their other short scale bass video. I thumbed it down but youtube counts any interaction as a good thing and it helps to make the video more suggested. So it's worse for the channel if you don't vote at all.
That little Jackson sounds awesome
That intro jam though :D
This Gibson LP Jr looked and sounded great! I don't usually say that about any Gibson but here you are :D
Short scales need more love, great vid! Still hoping the Supro epic deal of a while ago will be extended to their short scale basses sometime in the future.
Always entertaining and informative. Thank you lads!
Great demo, loved your playing... entertaining bass jamming!!
I always loved the sound Jack Bruce got during his days in Cream, and I understand that he used a short, scale bass.
🤌🏾🤌🏾💯💯
He is why I’m a Gibson Guy
Hurray! A new episode!
Another great opening jam.
A short-scale bass with flats and you are home
Best intro ever! Nice groove.
They all sounded really good, but for the money the Ibby and Jackson are amazing value. Can’t believe the tone of the Jackson for the cost and size though!
Y'all smoked that bass-line!
Holy smokes. I love the sound of that gibson
Okay let’s take a second to talk about two things. First: £169 for that Jackson bass?!?! And secondly, MORE METAL OUTROS PLEASE!
These guys are to damned good. What grooves.
Wow. they just jammed on a tool song. On short scale basses no less.. Love it!
The tone is why I also play short-scale.... suits some musical styles perfectly.
It's a great reggae bass.
Bass Lee with the fresh Adidas kicks !!!!!!!!!!! Also my kind of basses. I'm 20 and only 5'7 with hands smaller than most. Plus I love that single pickup sound. My personal golden rule FOR JUST ME if I ever got to play in a band is one pickup for the studio bcuz I like the upright sound. And two pickups live for a deadly live treble ! Happy New Year and stay well from the Midwest USA !
Crazy good intro jam, these guys are such good players
Very very nice work lads.
Man, the pickups look huge on that Jackson!
Good mix of styles. Guitar channels take note...
Would love to see a vid dedicated to "medium-scale" basses. That ibanez was sweet for the price.
I have a few expensive full sized, but I always go back to my Ibanez Mikro. Sound and playability really up the "fun" factor.
Great playing
The Gibson Junior sounds fabulous
Hope to see your look on upcoming squier cv 60s mustang bass!
I've got a 67 Sakai Japanese copy of an EB1 SG body short scale and it's great, different tone to my Epiphone EB3 and my T-bird
Lucky you! some of those MIJ copies are close to the originals.
I have a Vintera Mustang. Put on a set of D`addarrio medium scale strings and this little beauty is a shrunken P bass. Might sound even better with a set of flats.....
Depends on the sound you want. My Mustang sounds tons better with rounds, and kind of muffled and dead with flats. My P-bass on the other hand sounds pretty good with flats. The shorter scale on the Mustang seems to take some of the clarity and definition away when using flats. The first thing I did when I got a JMJ Mustang was switch it to rounds. It sounded killer with rounds. (I've since traded it for another Mustang because I didn't like the baseball bat size neck compared to most all other Mustangs)
Just tried flats. Super also with flats. I’m glad medium scale strings also work. Short scale strings can be tough to find here in Finland
I going to be looking into one of these someday. But getting my 5 year old daughter started with a ukulele bass
Nice! You should look up Stephen Cox's ubass channel on here. He's a very patient, melodic teacher and always answers Qs...
That intro jam is sweet!
Fantastic!
I wish I could get past the look cuz that Mustang bass sounds amazing
John Waite from “The Babys” is a short scale bass player! Check out The Baby’s playing live at The Pinstripe Club!
I had an Ampeg plexiglass, short scale, much prefer my PB.
I am Torn between: these 3 Short Scale"s: Stingray from Sterling by Music Man, Fender Mustang PJ or the G & L Fallout? Any Input would really Help this guitar player in need of it?
Love my short scale Scheter Banshee. I'm a smaller person and for some stuff I play, the short scale is much better.
The purists think you should play a longscale strung with flats and never use a pick...the irony is, none of the purists are music legends like Jack Bruce or Paul McCartney
That outro actually had me listening to two bassists trading without fast forwarding. That's not an easy feat.
Jaco is monitoring the chat
Get MARK KING in there for a demo!
I want that purple one! I'm Canadian, I'm curious what you guys think of Godin bass guitars. Wicked good playing lads.
Hi. I have 2 Godin, they are awesome, really better than my us fenders
If you keep doing these great two bass jams ..you know somebody is going to put you on tour..mark my words...you will get rich...
Glenn said it so it must be true
ibanez srm-d200 13:52
Have you guys tried the tmb30?
I wouldve loved to see the Gibson SG bass and a semi hollow, like the Guild or Gretsch.
Nonetheless, great video, as always!
I have the SG. It's a great little bass despite the lousy 3-pt bridge, buy IMO it's overpriced. I wish it had the original sidewinder pup, THEN it would be well worth it!
Are the Jackson Minion Bass bodies just guitar sized?
Come for the pretty shiny things. Stay for the pretty shiny jams.
Awesome! Just aweosome!
As always a great video.
Please don’t ignore the Hofner Beatle bass (ignition series ) which is also a short scale bass
they have short scale rickenbaker?
do a eric johnson without busting the bank. He has the best tone and his fingers are magical.
Johnny Rotvær most of his tone is his fingers performing black magic all over the fretboard, so which pedal would we need for that part...??
Can you guys review the Gretsch Junior Jet bass? Seems like a popular shortscale option
I have one of those and i absolutely love it!
They reviewed it in their last shortscale post, about 2 years ago - should be on here. It was Lee's favourite of the bunch. I bought one from a friend after seeing the review and love the classic look & tone. And gretsch quality. I'm nowhere near Royal Blood level with my pedals but it's a bonus seeing what i *could* do with it if I put the time in..!
@@Shelsight didnt know they already did it, gunna look it up! Cheers
Wow!
Wow what an intro
If Chappers and the Captain were bassists.
I still have small hands. Great vid!
Do you smell like cabbage?
Everyday. Soap does nothing.
@@patrickcarroll1754
To paraphrase Austin Powers, "Only two things in the world scare me, nuclear war..........and carnies. Circus folk, they smell like cabbage....and have small hands".
They need to make the Jackson in a 30 inch scale with that same body shape and headstock (just slightly larger). I'd buy it.
There is the David Ellefson signature model, can't remember if it's available with p pickups, though
@@TheTyrkiskpeper medium scale?
No growl in them shorties, that's the difference.
That Jackson just looks like a guitar that let itself go just a little bit
Looks like a mini P bass w a hockey stick headstock.
I loathe Jackson headstocks. Well, I hate all about their looks. But for the price it's far the best option. It sounds really good indeed.
I hate the Ibby. Just looks cheap.
They sound good but you guys are also playing premium amps
So do short scale basses have a reduced range? I am really liking that little purple guy and found a neon green one locally. I had to sell my old bass a few years ago and want to get back into the groove. I almost bought an acoustic bass before the covid invasion and now I am flip flopping between an acoustic and the Jackson.
what do you mean by reduced range?
They're still tuned EADG
I never knew bass was bigger guitar hero had me thinking they are the same size as guitars for some reason. Didn't find out till I started playing real guitar.
About 37% bigger scale length, yup.
Bill Wyman. Alan Lancaster. Jack Bruce. Etc
Needs Squier Bronco!
Name a more iconic duo than Nathan and Lee
Chappers and the Captain?
Laurel and Hardy?
Sonny and Cher
Peters and Lee
Bartles and Jaymes.
Shame they don’t do them Jackson mini basses left handed
Video about bass tone and scale length ..
I heard amp buzz while you played the Gibson. But it sounds great otherwise.
It's has a HB, so there shouldn't be noise.
That looks so funny lol
So I've heard a couple of people tell me that the shorter the scale the thicker the low end. Can anyone verify that is true? I do remember seeing a local all girl band from San Fernando Valley, CA ...bassist had a Danelectro Longhorn, I believe a short scale bass and seeing that band live, that bass BOOMED.
100%. normal scale basses have harmonics that ring out, giving it more mid and high tones. Short scales have the most fundamental frequency ringing out, thus giving the thickest low end. Short scales would definitely work more with pop music today, since it is more about the sub-presence than the actual tonality.
Bit of a miss from Gibson imo. But that vintera is a beast!
💙👊😎
Damn the horrible rocker Jackson headstock. Because the bass kicks ass. I had expectations in the Ibby. Awful clancky sound. After the Fender, the Jackson comes seconds to me.
21:00 it's Jambi by Tool
Guitarists Suck It's The Pot
Love the Les Paul Jr. bass, but three point bridges are absolute shite!
Nice carpet.
that ibanez is just TREBBLE
Ibanez best sounding bass
Huooooooooooooo😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I'm going to Royal Blood the sh*te out of these! :)
not first
Yes you were! :-)
@@OzziePete1 thought I'd be a trend setter 😂
"Back to Bassics"
Short scale for beginners and students ,uh not so many advanded players and pros use and have used them
dont tell me, let me guess... they dont make a left handed version, sucks man, it's always the same
As soon as they started saying that shorties are just for kids and beginners you know they’re a couple of wankers that have no idea what they’re talking about.
they never said "just"
where is the gretsch bass?
and please don't solo the whole time.
There's no new Gretsch. These are all new models.
the gibson really killed everything, quite surprised! especially with the splitting option.
It actually sounds like a BASS, LOL. If a bass can't produce that kind of low end, it's not for me.
So I've heard a couple of people tell me that the shorter the scale the thicker the low end. Can anyone verify that is true? I do remember seeing a local all girl band from San Fernando Valley, CA ...bassist had a Danelectro Longhorn, I believe a short scale bass and seeing that band live, that bass BOOMED.
In general, this is true.
You get much less of the high overtones you typically get from a full size bass because of the shorter string length, and that emphasizes the lower frequencies.
