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 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 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 honestly find short scales so fun to play

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
The telecaster bass is called the "Retrovibe T30" if anyone is wondering
I think Tina Weymouth deserves a shout out here
Tina Weymouth should get a shout, surely!
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!
Man that Macca bass line is so simple, yet so perfect 🔥
Where's Tina Weymouth man?!?! Surely the next list 🤔
Fun Fact: Paul McCartney did both the bass and drums on Dear Prudence
The Chas and Jack pieces were fabulous, so well done on ALL your demo's and RIP Chas and Jack and Allen.
Great song choices: Badge and Dear Prudence!
Need to see Phil Lesh in the next one!
Colin Moulding (XTC) played a F Mustang (short scale) on a few songs. Top musician.
Colin--🔥!
Some beautiful basses, and great playing! New Count Day #190 of BEHgging for Necrobutcher's BEHS tone!
You NAILED Stanley Clarke dude
Strato bass and tele bass
Crazy
Really good song choices🎉
Great list. Needs Mike Kerr in the next one 😉
He does
Justice for Mark Sandman and his two string, short scale bass
I've been playing my short scale Gibson Les Paul bass since I bought it new in 1974. I have never wanted to change.
Lovin’ that new chowny 🤘😎🤘🍒
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)

Don’t forget Mike Kerr from Royal Blood
Glad to see the lat great Allen Woody remembered!
Badge.. what a great bass line from Jack Bruce

You gotta try the Gretsch jet bass
Its a short scale, cheap and sounds amazing
I have one...love it!
Robert Levon Been from Black rebel motorcycle club is also a great one, he plays an old Epiphone Rivoli Bass, those things are beautiful
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
More on you short scale collection please
I need that tele
Edit: and the strat. They both look so cool
That telecaster bass blew my mind
Berry Oakley composed the bass lines for "Whipping Post" years before Allen Woody made Hall Annie!
Need a list of top short scale basses.
Nice Animals line choice.
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?
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 never thought i needed a strat bass so bad
Help! We need a video about those strat and tele basses as soon as possible.
Also, in my book: Stu Hamm (first signature bass) and Neils Kinsella from God is an Astronaut. 👍🏼
that tele and strat bass look sick! where to get them?
finally a fitting bass for danny4'4
What is the name of the behs, he used for the Cream bassline?
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.

That red bass is sweet!!! I want one!!! Make?? Model??
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'd love to play short scale but as a 6'1 230 pound man it just looks really off when I try lol
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
How's Tina Weymouth not in the top 5
Thinking of getting one. My arthritis is killing me.
Damn age.
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. 😊
Now I want a tele bass so bad…
Love short scale basses as I am a short scale human 😂😂

What model of shorty are you playing the Chas Chandler tune on?
Anyone know the names for the first two bass’s

How could this list not include Les Claypool? His main Carl Thompson four string is 32"
No bill wyman is crazy

Behs
MIKE WATT should be included in an honorable mention!!!
