didnt say that you could just move the bridge back. i know the fret spacing is different, but if the bridge was located further back then the stretch to the first fret wouldnt be as much, because the neck wouldnt protrude as much from the body of the bass.
ah, i get what you're saying. I think that would mess with your frets you have available and leave you with a pretty funky body design that wouldn't be balanced to good (me thinks). TIM (callowhill) you around so you can go into a little more detail with your infinate wisdom on building?
Im having trouble seeing why since its only 1 inch.
does the scale also determine the number of frets? because im particular to 24-fret basses.
I'm looking at a Lakland 55-02 4sale over at TB. To be continued..........
Ok, I bought the Lakland 55-02. Will report back when I receive it.
Brand new, I'm looking at the Fender American Standard 5 string and the Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones 5 string. Used, I'm trying to catch a Roscoe SKB series 5 string for a really good price ($1200 tops). Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming about that one but you never know! Anyway, has anyone here had any experience playing the Lakland Skyline DJ5? If so, how do you like the sound as compared to a Fender Jazz? Both of the models I'm looking at are passive but can have a pre-amp added and pups changed out pretty easily.
Well, I received the bass yesterday! What a killer bass! It's a slap monster! Below are pics borrowed from the seller. The pickguard is not affixed. I removed it and am selling it.
