I need another bass like a hole in the head, but these are pretty hot.

My guess is that they're using the same fretboard as on the 4005XC.lumgimfong wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:34 am So no one here owns one? If you do, could you tell us the measurement from nut to 12th fret please. Trying to see if it is a true short scale, playing comfort-wise.
That is very cool! I didn’t know these existed.brianeharmonjr wrote: ↑Tue Jan 10, 2023 10:21 pm Happened to be browsing at some online retailers and came across a few of these 4030 Short Scale basses in Midnight Blue with checkerboard binding and black hardware. Anyone have any experience with these? I know there have been a couple of previous VERY limited versions of this floating around. Wilcutt has zero information posted on it and I don't see them elsewhere. Looks like the bridge is shifted forward and it has two pickups mounted in the guard, with a black-painted fingerboard, 24 frets, and some interesting pickups. It's all black hardware and the pickups almost look like toasters with a hi-gain cover? I love short-scale basses, but that is quite a plunge to take with no in-hand experience. Is this a limited model or something that will become more widely available? Any info is appreciated!
