Title: ...And Speaking of GAS
Post by: funkStrat_97 on September 10, 2011, 07:53:03 AM: I already have one bass (every guitar player should have at least one), but this new offering just kinda' caught my eye - it all starts with the eye ;):

All Fenders (to date) use 34" scale necks. Beware that a 35" scale does not absolutely guarantee superior low B performance.

Why?

played a lakland 55-01 and I liked how the 35" b-string felt/ played

I know you can achieve it with a 34", I just decided I want a 35" scale.

might just have to buy a 55-01 .... one day LOL

The guy I bought that new Fender V 24 of mine from had one of those in white ... He modded the pre though ... actually this brother has great taste in basses.. He had a few others that were nice as well.. Squire is not what they used to be back in the day..
