    No idea. I ran across it, I was interested by it, wondered whether some other BCer might be.

    Sadly, it's not a Fender-standard body. Ah well. Maybe I should just put it back in the attic... I did notice that a Tanglewood Overwater has a 22-fret neck.

    I'm tempted to put it on a solidbody bass guitar, see what it sounds like...

    Gah... My SB301's needed a new neck for a long time. Last week I gave up, posted it here. Sold the body on Sunday. Bah, humbug.

    Good point. Thank you!

    Thanks, gentlemen. Unfortunately the Kmise won't do because I am looking for something where the neck itself is 22 frets ' worth long - any overhang would have to be on top of that. I'll have a look at second-hand Ibanez.

    Wow. I'm stunned all over again every time I look at this. How thick will the neck be at the nut, front to back, if I may ask?

    Are they old strings? Maybe they have a limited lifespan?
  11. alyctes
    Thanks. Also the Yamaha RBX200, which is why I'm asking... it's not worth spending a lot on a £100 bass, sadly.

    That's what I thought. Thanks, that's a lot cheaper than trying it

    I suppose I could try something barbarous and find a 24-fret I could shorten... 😮 Would the trussrod be too long, though?

    If this is what it claims to be it might be worth a punt. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-string-bass-guitar/153173217726?hash=item23a9d5d1be:g:XXUAAOSwS-dblPzV

    Remain In Light and Fear Of Music were the peak, IMO. There was a time there where they were the best band in the world. The Stop Making Sense reading of 'Heaven' will be played at my funeral.

    It's a bloody good job that's not fretless!

    Body sold. TRC also gone. Advert being closed - I'll put the tuners up separately. Parts from my SGC Nanyo Bass Collection SB301, which I'm now parting out - it has fingerboard/truss rod issues, so it won't sell as is. I haven't the time or skill or patience to sort it out, and I need the space. Black passive four-string. Not MIJ as far as is known (not labelled and s/n 26907 is inconsistent) - probably Korean pre-production when they were gearing up to move the production out of Japan. Currently as loaded body and loaded neck. Neck with TR cover. Trussrod maxed, doubtful gluing of fingerboard to neck. Currently with the Gotoh tuners on it. £25 posted or £18 for the tuners on their own. TR cover off to the USA tomorrow, probably. The neck screws are of two different lengths - if you want them, please remind me. Body with buttons and ferrules, pickups and electrics, bridge. £25 posted - now sold pending. Pickups are P/J, both labelled SGC, some wear to the logos on the P. Electrics + 4 knobs. Crackly when turned - probably fixable with a burst of contact cleaner. Bridge. Pics later.

    Earl Grey? Wasn't he the guy who kept getting his whistle tested?
  20. alyctes
    Whoa...

    Went for £53. I read a review of these a few years ago - not complimentary. I seem to recall the singlecut Spears were not bad for the money though.
  22. alyctes
    Can anyone suggest a source? Fretless preferred, but not essential Alternatively, what brands/makes use 22-fret necks? Thanks folks
  23. alyctes
    Wow. Just as well it's got too many strings and frets! Good luck with your sale
  24. alyctes
    That's a really useful read Pin, please, mods

    I think the headstock is probably where your hairspray went
