Description

This STP 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 Retrovibe 15.4K Big Pole ceramic pickup.

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.

** Please note ** The pictures of the Purple STP were taken in bright sunlight and the actual colour is the Purple sparkle on the upper horn.

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