To start with, I got a cheap ($90) short-scale bass. This one will just get the Bass tuner holes plugged, and six new holes drilled. Of course I'll need a new bridge/nut, new pickups, and something to anchor the ball end of the strings. The extra 4 or 5 inches should allow me to easily tune a third lower, possibly a fifth - so an open C chord would actually be an A, or possibly a G. |
