chaypup Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I always thought it was 34" but I'll have a measure tomorrow. If you PM me with tempting trades I'll likely be swayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 [quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1425642043' post='2709280'] 34 1/2" using the nut-12 fret x 2 method. [/quote] That's a relief in a way - been GAS-ing for a short/medium scale and a 2xP configuration for a bit. Both in the same bass (vintage Matsumoku through-neck at that!) might've proved irresistable. And I have to resist - I've recently moved to a new place and need to drastically reduce the gear/bass stash. So, someone buy this quick. I only have so much resolve... J.

Eboclive Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Nice Bass. I have the exact same model, but as a fretless. Mine is completely standard, ie jack socket, not XLR. I've had it since 1985., bought it off a friend who was the original owner. It was made in Ferbruary 1983. Yours should be around the same time period. GLWTS.

[/quote] There's a recording here on the Westone but not the best and with full band... https://soundcloud.com/superchangouk/they-call-me-mister-tibbs I never used to think the neck was chunky until I started using an asymmetric neck, and now, by comparison, I do!
