I have a Tele which made me appreciate a belly cut. I had someone put a belly cut into it. I get the whole forearm cut but that would make a real mess of the paint and I have not actually noticed that I need one now the belly cut is in place.
Bergantino IP series. Quite old hat by now due to not being made out of helium. But just a FABULOUS piece of kit.
Or buy a decent 12" active wedge. By decent I mean £500+. And useful for all sorts of things as well as Bass
That is a long wait. Decades ago I had a Peavey Midibass. I wish I still had it. On the midi front it was superb. It sucked deeply as a bass guitar. I would love one of these.
I am on a quest for one bass to rule them all. It has been a long quest. On this quest I bought a Sklar Dingwall. There were lots of great things about, amongst which was a neck profile which REALLY did it for me. But I discovered that I like to do side to side vibrato. I knew that I do it, but had not realised how much. The roundwounds moving across the frets was a total sensory non starter for me. Very odd.
While we are discussing the Macca/Hofner interface, any opinions on a cheap and cheerful functioning copy of one of these? I just fancy one. I have played one but cannot for the life of me remember what it was.
Weird and wonderful would be to buy one of these, put a proper bridge, new machine heads, Delano 5string P pickup and custom Newtone strings on it and expect it to function as a 5 string bass. It did not.
