Just to be clear, are the "extra" frets on this new neck on an overhang over the body? If not you've inadvertently changed the scale length of the bass and the frets are in entirely the wrong positions with relation to that. I'd stick the old neck back on and mark this one down as a learning experience as the measures needed to correct the issue are cut the neck pocket deeper into the body (UGLY!) or move the bridge (UGLY!)...

So... How would I configure my X18 to run stereo to a P2, or do I need a fancy lead?

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1503928615' post='3361599'] Is this going to be a forever bass? If not you may want to consider the re-sale potential - how many people will want to buy an orange or yellow bass? Most popular colours are likely to be red/ black/ white then probably natural - I'm a green freak personally and know that selling green basses in the past has been an issue. [/quote] +1 to this. Unless it's your forever bass both these colours will hurt you when you come to sell. It's not a Dingwall NG2 and won't have the same resale value as one...

Best kind of ray! Not a big fan of them as standard...

Can't you just set the app that you're playing bass into to operate in background mode? I'm using Jamup Pro on iPad for something similar.

You gave yours. Why attack me? [/quote] At best your comment was incomplete... at worst, well this is a family show...

Funny I was just looking on ebay for a Fenix Jazz bass yesterday! A lot of what is wrong with that bass is just cosmetic. The nut is the only real issue (possibly the tuners but if they still function then they're fine). New nut, fresh set of strings and you're off to the races. Granted if you can't carry out any work required yourself you may be cheaper buying a Harley Benton off Thomann. But this will sell, and will contribute to the price of a new one if that's the way you want to go. Part it out. Body and neck, even in their current state, will be worth something to somebody.

Very nice Ped... I'm a little jealous!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1497654968' post='3319905'] Probably the only big USA manufacturer of basses and guitars that I trust to get virtually everything if not everything perfect. [/quote] Didn't you have a horror story a few years back with a MM Classic order?

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1502725204' post='3353128'] According to the specs the Roscoe neck is 47.6mm. So a bit wider than the Sire, same as a precision v. It might be worth a look at the precision V given it should be in a shop somewhere. [/quote] Surprised by that... Having said that I'm not entirely convinced that the raw specs tell the whole story in cases like this. I've always been a stickler for 19mm string spacing at the bridge... or so I thought... I've come to realise it's the ergonomics of the bass as a whole that matters, not just measurement of one specific area. The Laklands and the Roscoe Beck (and my ACG 5) have asymmetric neck carves which contribute far more to the neck feel than you'd expect from looking at the measurements. If you get a chance I suggest you give them a try. Another suggestion would be a Warwick Stage 1 Streamer Broad Neck...

Laklands feel a good bit wider than Sire to me so I'm surprised at those measurements. Fender Roscoe Beck V is the widest I've experienced if you have the reddies...

[quote name='skelf' timestamp='1452779831' post='2953410'] Hard to say since they have all been available for different times but overall. Recurve and Finn are pretty close. Recurve Classic. Finn Classic Recurve S Type Finn R type. Recurve and derived shapes followed by the Finn and derived shapes. [/quote] Krell bound to be pretty high up the list now... and rightly so!

A Babicz on an ACG? Different... [attachment=251365:we fear change.jpg]

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1502278423' post='3350395'] I had an Ashdown Lomenzo overdrive, it sounded brilliant (at least it did through a tweeterless cab), but it's footprint was a pain. Particularly as I took the chassis off at one point and found the PCBA was only a small proportion of the pedal, and sparsely populated at that - they could easily get it into a small enclosure. [/quote] The Ashdown Lomenzo is one of my all time favourite pedals. I've been planning to reverse engineer mine and build a clone in a smaller enclosure for quite a while. It's still on the "to do" list though...
