Here something different, a great looking Les Paul semi hollow short scale bass, the Memphis model. Built 2015, Despite the negative press some 2015 Les Paul models received, this plays superb and looks cool too. For a short scale Bass it’s very versatile. The short scale make it very easy to handle as well as the weight which is a mere 3.5 kgs. The hum-buckers are good too and provide a nice punchy sound. In over drive the bass does produce a great sound well too.
