Offbeat Guitars Roxanne PJ 32" Medium Scale Bass in Purple Twilight on Pine with EMG Brushed Chrome PJ Pickups, Gotoh Hardware

Offbeat Guitars "Roxanne PJ" 32" Scale Bass in Purple Twilight on lightly distressed/textured Eastern White Pine featuring a carbon fiber reinforced Cherry Neck with a Wenge Fretboard, EMG (we're not allowed to say which signature artist) Brushed Chrome Passive PJ Pickups, Gotoh Res-O-Lite Tuners, Gotoh Vintage-Style, Solid Brass Bridge, Hand Brushed Solid Aluminum Pickguard, DR Dragon Skin Strings, and Aged Hardware.

I find it interesting that medium scales aren't more popular than they are. As someone who played mostly 34" scale basses for 25 years and switched to predominately short scales for the last 15 years, I feel like it's kind of the "Goldilocks" of scale lengths. It doesn't feel like a huge change like going from a 34" scale to a 30" scale, but you play this one all night instead of a 9.5 lb. Jazz bass, and you'll have a lot more energy at the end of the gig to wrestle that SVT back into your vehicle. You might even have enough energy to help the drummer load their kit into their vehicle. (I am so kidding about that.)

The bass body is made from knotty and textured Eastern White Pine and finished in a gorgeous Purple Twilight dye. The pickups are (we're not allowed to say which signature artist) PJ set in brushed chrome. The P is in a reverse position to give it a more balance tone across all four strings. This is one of the best PJ pickup sets I've tried in terms of the bridge and neck pickups being balanced with each other output wise. It's one of the few sets I don't mind playing with both pickups wide open.

The 21 fret cherry neck with wenge fretboard is reinforced with carbon fiber rods. The nut width is a Jazz bass sized 1.5", and the finish is a satin oil/poly blend. The neck gets sanded to 600 grit, while we bullet nose the fret ends and polish them to a smooth 12,000 grit. All of which makes it a real joy to play.

A set of DR Dragon Skin coated round wound strings runs between a Gotoh vintage-style, solid brass bridge over a Tone Ninja nut to a set of Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners.

The bass weighs in at a nice and light 7.5 lbs, but it balances perfectly on a strap thanks to the lightweight Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners (and also because it's a medium-scale, in case you missed that earlier).

The bass comes with a 20mm padded Gator 4G gig bag.
