Show Some Love →The bass that makes 30 inches feel like exactly enough.
The Retro 304 delivers the warm low-end, defined attack, and easy playability that make a short-scale bass a must-have addition to any collection. Alder, maple, and a purpose-voiced passive pickup work together to produce a vintage tone character that holds up in any playing situation. This is a serious instrument built for players who know exactly what they want from 30 inches.
Less Tension. More Playing.
A shorter scale changes how a bass feels under your hands — strings give more, notes come easier, and the fatigue that creeps in on a long session simply doesn't.
Tone With a Vintage Point of View
The VTB-TB humbucker is voiced specifically for the warm low-end and defined attack that vintage-style basses are known for — not a generic passive sound, but a deliberate tone character that suits the instrument and rewards the player who chose it for exactly that reason.
Wood That Works Together
Alder brings warmth and resonance to the body while the hard maple neck adds brightness and definition — two materials that have complemented each other in classic bass builds for decades.
One Volume. One Tone. No Distractions.
Some basses give you more controls than you need. The Retro 304 keeps it simple: one volume, one tone, and your full attention on playing rather than managing a signal chain.
A Bass That Earns Its Place
The comfort, feel, and tone character of a short-scale bass open up playing possibilities that a long-scale simply can't replicate. The Retro 304 brings all of that with construction and tone quality that make it a permanent addition, not a novelty.
