good story and pics. not sure about your mutilation of the mother bass but hey.. let us know how it turns out.. ps. is it not too thin tone wise all the time with just the bridge pup?

[quote name='Darkstrike' post='1274311' date='Jun 19 2011, 12:50 AM']It's funny, guitar builders spent a lot of time thinking of how to add cutaways for playability. Now they're removing them again..... progress in reverse.[/quote]new designs and modern gimmicks like light wave tech etc, will never catch on.. you know why.. because there is not much to fix.. you tell anything wrong with a jazz, MM, Warwick,P Bass etc.. you can design things to a point.. from that your fixing something that aint broke.. IMO.. its the quality in whats there already

[quote name='ahpook' post='1274296' date='Jun 19 2011, 12:25 AM']one thing i've always wondered is how does the extra wood on a singlecut affect adjusting the neck relief ?[/quote]thats a good point..im thinking they dont need a truss rod though..?

cant stand them..and IMO totally pointless, looks awful and weighs more.. does a SC Fodera sound better than a DC Fodera.. me think not... dont get me atarted on that Warwick thing..

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1274287' date='Jun 19 2011, 12:16 AM']That G is way too far into the board. 100%.[/quote]yep for sure.. but do you think it matters.. not saying either way but does it make a bad bass?

[quote name='risingson' post='1274276' date='Jun 19 2011, 12:11 AM']Fair enough mate! Different strokes and all that. I bet they sound terrific but I find myself being reminded of Fender's efforts with the FMT Jazz's and they didn't do it for me at all. It's the fancy wood tops, not my thing really... with the possible exception of this: [/quote]my lord..

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1273464' date='Jun 18 2011, 09:06 AM']So is it just me that thinks the G string is inbound from the edge of the fingerboard in relation to the E string? It could be the camera angle but I'm fairly certain it is an imbalance in neck/string alignment.[/quote] the E string is thicker.. of course the G, will look further in than the E..

i think you will find its the actual pickup that is tricking your eye, and not the line up of the pickups... i very much doubt USA Lakland would miss a thing like this.. in fact i would bet on it..

[quote name='risingson' post='1273828' date='Jun 18 2011, 03:29 PM']I've seen these but I don't like them, at all in fact, they look cheap IMO at least. Also I didn't think of them as the natural successor to the DJ, but I suppose there was a large market for afterstock preamps in the DJ's so I guess that's what they're doing.[/quote] oh Ris this is where we part..i bloody love that red jazz!.. man i want to ply one of those... i doubt they look cheap up close or in the wallet

Man these guys can keep it tight.. Frances Hylton's playing is so good... they still sound good without drums or horns..others make soul jazz funk, but not quite like the signature Incognito sound.....makes me proud to be British..!!
