Description

This S30 bass is short scale and based on a Stratocaster body.

The bolt-on maple neck has 20 frets and a satin finish.
It is equipped with my Ultralite tuners (it has little or no neck dive) and 18mm bridge and has a 3 x Retrovibe chromed-covered, 4-pole alnico bass pickups.

It weighs in at around 8.6lbs (3.9kg) with no neck dive with a textured strap but shiny nylon straps are not recommended. 

It currently has a nice low action which can easily be raised according to your taste. Strung with a brand new set of Ernie Ball Short Scale rounds. (45, 65, 85, 105)

Other body, pickup, pickguard and knob colours may be available. Please drop me a line at david@retrovibe.co.uk to discuss specifications for your build.

All the parts need to convert your own Telecaster or Stratocaster 6-string into a short scale bass are available here on my site.
