Shaggy Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Iconic; effortlessly stylish yet refreshingly non-functional Would go perfectly with my early '80's Dave Lee Travis "phoneless cord" Deserves to meet with better success than my previous efforts at great British lateral thinking:[list] [*]The fingerboard-less fret; so much more compact than conventional set-ups, easily fits in pocket or plectrum box [*]The transmitter-less wire (unfortunately someone beat me to it and called it a guitar lead.....) [*]The pack of string-ended balls - a flop with bass players, but my cat loves them! [/list]
TWILITEZONE Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 hey, i'm impressed. think i'll mod my bass tomorrow.

yepmop Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 No one seems to be fretting over this, even though it's a break from the traditional looking bass neck, perhaps we are all just taking stock of the situation.
Mr Bassman Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I thought this would've been snapped up by now. Maybe it's not all its cracked up to be.

MB1 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 MB1. Would this be suitable for bassists who work on building sites?, with cheritzo sausage fingers?

dannybuoy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Will this fit a Steinberger? Edited August 28, 2013 by dannybuoy

[/quote] Yes it does fit but you have to grind away some of the graphite neck before you can gaff tape them together I think it was Jap but I've lost the receipt It's definitely SHORT scale
