far0n Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Any good ? Worth it ? Is the front face flatter than the Musicman neck ? I know the Status basses I've played before had completely flat neck profiles. Any difference in tone consistency or sound ? Ta chaps.... Quote
Chris2112 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Front face? As in the radius of the board? To be fair, I can't remember it being that different to the Musicman neck in terms of feel, apart from being slightly 'sleeker' to the hand. The main difference was in sound. It brings in that graphite sound, which is clear and burpy and very even. It's tempered still by the Musicman pickup and EQ, which isn't the sharpest item so it won't sound like a Status bass but it will improve the sound. It will also reduce the weight of the bass slightly and the tuning will be more stable as the graphite neck will not respond to temperature and humidity changes in the dramatic manner that a graphite neck will.

Vibrating G String Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Reduce the weight? Do you have any figures? The Status I had weighed a ton. Quote
cd_david Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I have one on an 80s 2 band. Mine sounds amazing, detail and cleaner high frequency, I dial the treble back about 50% and there is a clarity or definition in the lower mid range. Play great and similar feel, I have all my MM necks lacquered anyway so there's little difference. Weight wise, they are heavier but not too much. Dave Quote

Don't think that you'll have too much trouble though Faron, having seen your youtube videos Quote
