That's what's known in the trade as a "radiation hazard"... I'm not sure it's legal to ship internationally

I'm up for "Rants and Libellous Statements"

Personally I'd be nervous with the palm-size one. Those things don't take prisoners and I'd want both hands on it.

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1437908658' post='2829842'] Warmoth do a 24 fret option for their 38mm jazz necks, or are you after something more cheap and cheerful? [/quote] Thanks Cheap and cheerful would be preferable though.

Where on the south coast? Brighton is a long way from Plymouth

Genius!

The chair is not the issue here as it's likely the sides will drop down or be removed, the bass sitting on a leg that may have impaired feeling is the issue, especially if the bass is heavy enough to affect circulation ..... ... [/quote] Again, the Aria Sinsonido would do well here, because the lower bout is removable.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1437926427' post='2830062'] Why do the strings look so "wonky" coming out of the hard-tail? [/quote] Same reason they look wonky coming out of the nut, I guess; hard to fit the ends (tuners, balls) in the same space as the strings themselves. Looks like a semi to me.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-string-bass-Waterstone-TP12-12-string-bass-guitar-/301691680332?hash=item463e39b64c Don't see many of these. No idea what they're like.

hi I am thinking about replacing the neck on a (cheap) bass I own. It would need to be: - 38mm nut, or not far off. - 24 frets (or equivalent). I'd be happy with or without frets. Can anyone recommend a source? Thanks

They look much less awkward when someone's playing them, don't they?

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1437830407' post='2829385'] Pixie Lott is the illicit daughter of Black Francis and Kim Deal, she is of normal height, is non magical and doesn't come from Devon or Cornwall [/quote] Some people do find her acting rather wooden, though.

Nice

I tried one, didn't like it as much as the Snark which I find much easier to use.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1437843257' post='2829498'] Interesting, I had never really thought of a resonator as an alternative to an electro acoustic... Looks fantastic! We're the upgrades costly? [/quote] IIUC resonator guitars were originally designed to compete unamplified with brass sections, so it seemed obvious to me they'd be louder. I could be wrong

Is string-through-body an option?

Intonation is important on fretlesses. Yes, the note you get comes from the finger position (just like a cello or DB).
