That's interesting; I've never come across these before. To be fair though, I haven't been in the market for a bass in many years. I like the concept, but that's a bummer about the shortcomings you're dealing with.
I want a new guitar.

Yeah.Being partially paralyzed makes everything complicated. I’d say most of my issues wouldn’t be the builder’s “fault” or problems for most players.
Check out the Airborne series with exchangeable necks for changing scale lengths.

What's in that red enclosure?I accidentally a thing.
Finally replaced the batteries today after intonating all the guitars last night. Not dead but the low battery light did come on. Cheap batteries in there had an expiration year of 2010, so I'd estimate they've been in there 20 years easy.
That there is Mr. Fusion, a kit looper/delay pedal I built.
I still have no clue how to use it properly.
Took measurements on my basses this week. I’m gonna move out the ones with wide spacing and make room for some 2023 fresh blood.

Yes! Actually the white box in those photos. The brown box is my latest build. Russian Beaver/fuzz clone

I recently had a setup done with fret leveling, etc on my ‘99 Les Paul Classic Plus that I bought new. It was like getting suspension rebuilt…you don’t realize how much you’re missing until it’s fine tuned.
JFC, I just realized that I have never changed the strings on my Gretsch since I bought it in July of '21.

Your guitars need any tuning? I'll swing by and get em squared away.
Mentioned this elsewhere, but the only toy I am getting myself this year is a very nice 24.75 scale Tele neck.
A 1992 SF470 that appears to be pretty mint just popped up on FB, which is the fixed bridge version of my Floyd Rose'ded S470.....and it even has the same color/finish.
I don't need it.....I don't need it......I don't need it.....

If I had a bunch of money to spare…I would have a Fender Reverb Twin modified, with one channel for electric, and one channel (amp and speakers) optimized for acoustic. If it were done well, I bet I could sell a shitload of them. It’s almost like the concept is too simple for any company to grasp.
Any of you know of something like this?

Just get a Kemper.
I’m more drawn to something like this. You aren’t gonna get good acoustic tones without a tweeter of some kind, IMO.

I’m actually interested in one of these, but I don’t think I would buy one without playing it first.@rideit

Thanks for the tip, it’s definitely on my radar.
I took the leap of faith with Barefaced and have owned several of their 1x12 bass cabs. I settled on a pair of Big Baby 2 cabs which work well as a PA system with a power amp and mixer.
In guitar news, I drive to San Diego to see a fancy bass in person. It has a unique color shifting metallic finish that ranges from cool to meh depending on the lighting. I opted to pass on it.
Are you still playing those cool custom short scale things regularly?
This year, instead of buying a new $1000 guitar, I spent $1000 on music/guitar lessons. Quite happy with the investment so far, even if I can’t gift it to my kiddo eventually.
I really, really want one of those Rivera Sedona Lites, but I haven’t found the right crack addict selling his for $500…

Unfortunately the custom 18” one is a bit awkward to play with my stupid nerve damage. I thought the shorter scale would be easier to play, but it’s got some other design elements that challenge me. It doesn’t help that I had an issue with the electronics and the repair tech didn’t quite fix things back to where they were when I first got it. He swapped the 250 pots for 500 and I didn’t mind at first but over time I’ve been meh about it.
The Nordstrand Acinonyx seems to be at a sweet spot with string spacing and scale length for my needs. It’s got me thinking about trying a baritone or bass vi design.

I have been to Ausable Chasm, but I have only experienced Plausable Chasm.
Not a guitar, but I've been thinking about picking up an electronic drum kit for awhile. I've played drums off and on for most of my life, but haven't had a kit in quite a few years now. I miss the cathartic release that playing can provide, but I don't hate my neighbors enough to subject them to the noise of an acoustic kit. End coolstorybro.
I decided to get a bass for myself, never have owned one.
Yes, the first thing played was the Peace Sells intro
