I have rather large hands, and I learned on a standard scale when I was 14, and my hands were smaller. Now I wouldn’t give up my SG (think EB). The difference in playability is worth the sonic differences of the shorter scale.
I’ve been following your BEHS posts for about three months now-very interesting, informative, and challenging stuff. I especially like your enunciation of BEHS; my friends and I get a kick out of it. I’m just a month into my 67th birthday and retirement. Your spots are inspiring me to take my BEHS out of storage, and try to get back in touch with my musical side. Due to personal traumas over the last few decades, I let my music slide. Hey, it’s too late to be a bluddie rock star (😁), but there’s much to be said about self enriching ventures, eh? Keep up the good fight for BEHS entertainment, enjoyment, and literacy.
I learned to play on a crappy short scale bass, and loved it, until a jam buddy told me it was time to get rid of the kiddy bass, so I upgraded to a J Bass lol. I think if I get a new bass soon (I’d have to convince the lady), I’d go back to a short scale cause it was really fun
I want to learn bass so bad, but I have a really hard time doing two different things with my hands, and they’re very small. It’s quite discouraging :’)
I love my J bass, but sometimes just the thought of strapping that anchor around my neck makes me wince. So I’ll grab my shorty EB-0 instead and happily thump away. 😊
I love short scales- for me the fender duo sonic is the one to beat..but can anyone give me the name of that white bass at the end? Looks like 12 string styling but for bass..so maybe an 8 string..it also reminds me of the fender VI
I honestly find short scales so fun to play

I love that strat that you’ve turned into a bass, and I want to say that I love your content. I think you’d be a great bass teacher.
is actually a "custom instrument" by retrovibe
What about the tele tho😋😋
@@mxdesigns3657 same
@@cirnegro8938what about the guitar pickup in the bridge?
@@ordinaryperson9472thats called a Telecaster he just made it have bass strings its normally a guitar though
I think Tina Weymouth deserves a shout out here
This is my first time seeing a tele bass I am appalled and also amazed
It fucks
I couldnt relate more
It’s quite the dilemma
The Telecaster BEHS is a bit like the American Bison; there once were many, now there are few.
@@harrybrooks8514now all I can see in my head is a giant pile of telecaster headstocks like in that picture of bison skulls
Tina Weymouth should get a shout, surely!
Fun Fact: Paul McCartney did both the bass and drums on Dear Prudence
The telecaster bass is called the "Retrovibe T30" if anyone is wondering
Justice for Mark Sandman and his two string, short scale bass
Where's Tina Weymouth man?!?! Surely the next list 🤔
Great song choices: Badge and Dear Prudence!
Man that Macca bass line is so simple, yet so perfect 🔥
Holy shit I NEED that Tele bass
I said the same thing
more please
Which one was the tele?
@@cosmiceggs2385the second clip ( Allen woody)
@@JustAÑ0řmäļGod thank you!
Please, play more these Strato-bass and Tele-bass!
You NAILED Stanley Clarke dude
Some beautiful basses, and great playing! New Count Day #190 of BEHgging for Necrobutcher's BEHS tone!
The Chas and Jack pieces were fabulous, so well done on ALL your demo's and RIP Chas and Jack and Allen.
I never realized that Stanley Clarke's Alembic bass was a short scale. Never saw him use a pick though..
If I’m not mistaken, Alembic still offers a Stanley Clarke model. It’s short scale and way outside of my bluddie grasp ($$$$.00)
Strato bass and tele bass
Crazy
I've been playing my short scale Gibson Les Paul bass since I bought it new in 1974. I have never wanted to change.
Need to see Phil Lesh in the next one!
Great list. Needs Mike Kerr in the next one 😉
He does
Colin Moulding (XTC) played a F Mustang (short scale) on a few songs. Top musician.
Colin--🔥!
Glad to see the lat great Allen Woody remembered!
Don’t forget Mike Kerr from Royal Blood

Really good song choices🎉
Berry Oakley composed the bass lines for "Whipping Post" years before Allen Woody made Hall Annie!
Amazing as always! Keep up the good behs playing!
mike kerr deserves to be on here too
Lovin’ that new chowny 🤘😎🤘🍒
Stanley the man hands down! 🔥🔥🔥
Badge.. what a great bass line from Jack Bruce
Unless I’m grossly mistaken, the short-scale bass seemed to be more visible back in the 60s and 70s than in the later decades. What thinkest thou?
Nice Animals line choice.
finally a fitting bass for danny4'4

Robert Levon Been from Black rebel motorcycle club is also a great one, he plays an old Epiphone Rivoli Bass, those things are beautiful
What’s the allman brothers band song name?
Whipping post- but I think Berry Oakley played the original studio track with a jazz bass. Nevertheless great pick
I need that tele
Edit: and the strat. They both look so cool
MIKE WATT should be included in an honorable mention!!!
You gotta try the Gretsch jet bass
Its a short scale, cheap and sounds amazing
I have one...love it!
Also, in my book: Stu Hamm (first signature bass) and Neils Kinsella from God is an Astronaut. 👍🏼
That telecaster bass blew my mind
Nice to see Chas chandlers bass playing on here
I want to learn bass so bad, but I have a really hard time doing two different things with my hands, and they’re very small. It’s quite discouraging :’)
School Days, Stanley Clarke #1
Short scale basses are a great way for guitar players to learn bass.
Need a list of top short scale basses.
Our favourite bass midget uploaded again!
Rip Allen Woody. Nice to see him mentioned among the legends as he should be
It would really suck to have that name though
Anyone know the song he played?
@@finleywayeon Allen Woodys part i think it was just a jam (like Woody did alot). It reminded me of Whipping Post or One Way Out though
Bill Wyman!
I'd love to play short scale but as a 6'1 230 pound man it just looks really off when I try lol
The white Stratocaster bass, where did that come from?
Thinking of getting one. My arthritis is killing me.
Damn age.
Mike Kerr and Jesse Keeler
What kind of bass is that for Allen Woody?
Retrovibe T30 Telecaster Bass
@@phipschi4255 How about the strat bass?
@@jiffy3263made from a squier strat body. Possibly modified bridge and with hot rail pickups. Not 100% sure but it seems like that at first glance
Justin Mendel-Johnson should be on this list!!! He’s the man!!!
How's Tina Weymouth not in the top 5
What was the all man brothers song you played ?
More on you short scale collection please
Help! We need a video about those strat and tele basses as soon as possible.
What is the name of the behs, he used for the Cream bassline?
What's the Allman Brother's lick?
I never thought i needed a strat bass so bad
What was the bass you played Dear Prudence on?
Dear Prudence is my favorite baseline of Paul’s
Love short scale basses as I am a short scale human 😂😂
Can you try to replicate P-Nut's bass tone?
What's bass used for Stanley Clarke and from what song is the piece?
what’s up with that tele? Is that some kind of conversion? That thing is sweeeet
Not mentioning Phil Lesh in this was a crime
Oh this list is superb.
Behs
I love my J bass, but sometimes just the thought of strapping that anchor around my neck makes me wince. So I’ll grab my shorty EB-0 instead and happily thump away. 😊
Lucas from king gizzard should be up there
Damn that Tele Bass is so good. What's the model?
The Paul mccartney's riff goes hard asf! What's the song name?
Dear prudence
That red bass is sweet!!! I want one!!! Make?? Model??
what is the hollow you used for the beatles cover?
that creme bassline gives me wii vibes
No bill wyman is crazy
that tele and strat bass look sick! where to get them?
What model of shorty are you playing the Chas Chandler tune on?
School days !!!!
I love short scales- for me the fender duo sonic is the one to beat..but can anyone give me the name of that white bass at the end? Looks like 12 string styling but for bass..so maybe an 8 string..it also reminds me of the fender VI
TELE BASS!?!?!?
what bass is that for the paul mccartney clip??
Paul Samwell Smith
How could this list not include Les Claypool? His main Carl Thompson four string is 32"
Mike Kerr, but I guess he plays a medium scale 32"
Now I want a tele bass so bad…
But didn't Jack Bruce famously fit a longer scale neck to Gibson EBO bass for the extra tension ?
No Les Claypool? Whaaaa
Andy Fraser!!!
Entwistle and Steve Priest played Danelectro Longhorn short scale bass guitars
Tina Weymouth
Mke kerr of royal blood
Of all the Beatles basslines you pick one originally played on a longscale bass 😂
WHERE DO I BUY THAT TELE BASS
What bass the one with Paul??
You forgot Mike Kerr!!!
