Huge fan of Allen Woody and always wanted one. Click and Collect from RS (Dave did me a little deal :D ). Short scale, chambered mahogany. Feels easy to play. Looks well built. Loverly.

here's a pic from the RS site:

Short scale?

Flats, plectrum, palm mute?

You're a "talented" chap aren't you?! Although you may have a point.

30" scale.

Not sure about flats, need to visit that rabbit hole(?). Fingers, i struggle with picks, but Woody didn't. Woody didn't struggle with playing bass (or mandolin and others), but he did struggle with other aspects of life, like many of us. Such a fabulous musician.

Palm mute, I guess you mean a bit of foam by the bridge(?). We'll see, I know nothing, just a bedroom fiddler so to speak.

I listened to their recent live album yesterday. Wasn't that taken with it. No disrespect to the current band but I'm old school Mule.

Very Hofner like with that pickup and control layout. Looks sweet! :-)

I play bass with a pick & palm mute guitar style, had to learn this way because of my doubleneck.
