So they buy a neck, take it apart, refret it, and rewire it, and then somehow run the wires from the neck across some gap in the neck pocket into the body - really? Wouldn't that make it a little delicate?

 

Yup. 

the fretboard is routed with a chanel down the centre, or maybe seperate chanels for each part of the split fret, then the split frets are installed, and the routs are covered with a plastic cover. all the wires come out a hole in the heel of the neck and go straight into the body. yes it looks fragile when taking a neck off but theres really no good reason to do so. 

i beleive there is some clever resistor type arrangement to aid fret sensing, i think its one wire per string from memory.

Also something struck me when looking at the photos the Rob OReilly bass the both this instrument and the IR MIDI bass have bolt-on necks. Why? The neck is an integral part of the pitch detection system, it's not as if you can take it off and replace it with another one!

 

Does anyone know what happens if you try and remove the neck from one of these basses? Can you? is there a connector in the neck pocket for the fret-sensing wiring? Could you fit a shim if it was required?

 there is no connector in the neck pocket. these basses are made from parts. they are not building each bass ffrom stratch so the bolt on is just a function of the business model. you can buy a body from one place and a neck from another. Buying a blank neck through is impossible. i bet bolt on makes the wiring a lot easier too.

not just lack of contact, but if he told you were 3rd in the queue.... then its just bare faced LIES!

Collection required from Shoreham by sea. 

i think this qualifies for a post here....

I had a few shims imported once from stewmac in the US. They were very reasonably priced if I recall. They are available in different angles, 0.5, 1 degree etc

It's a hybrid bass and guitar board. The chromatron is used mostly on bass. The barbanerra sounds great on guitar.
