#shortscale — Public Fediverse posts

fedex failed again so, I had to take a day off from work and go pick up this #Fberma #shortscale #electricguitar #viola / #violin. It shipped in a hardshell case which I strapped to the rack of my #bicycle.

On the way back, just a mile or two from where I live, I squeezed passed a long line of cars waiting at a light near a school where kids crossed that had a #police crossing guard. I accidentally rubbed the case against some guy' circa 2005-2010 (?) white car. Poor him might have a little scuff to buff out! 😭😭😭 My case is fine, BTW.

This #normie #jock gets out, runs down the block, across the street, pulls me off the #bike and punches me.

Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

I'm debating turning my #GLguitars Fallout #shortscale #bassguitar into a #PiccoloBass. Tuned as:
B1 - .024
E2 - .036
A2 - .046
D3 - .060
G3 - .080

The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With #DRstrings, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings.

With a #Kahler *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.
