I’m a long term fan of short scale bass. It’s smaller, lighter and the shorter scale length just fits my asian hand better.  My first bass was an early 2000 Ampeg AMB1 bass, bought the bass when I was like 17 years old with my first part-time salary.  As my bass adventure goes throughout the years, knowing how a bass should sounded

Building solid body instrument is not really rocket science, and most of the secrets in building were being revealed in the pass several decades. The truth is, there’s not that much of secret, building things precisely, carefully, with musicians in mind on what/how they need and how an instrument can possibly help would be the key.
