gafbass02 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) im gonna hang on to it for now Edited August 21, 2008 by gafbass02
Kev Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) think he made it clear that it is just the neck for sale, and £250 confirms that! what kinda bargain do you think this is [edit: that was an answer to a deleted post, not to ray ) i highly recommend these necks, my stingray's neck transformed my ray into a very special instrument, and i wouldnt change it for the world. those led's are interesting!

gafbass02 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 yep, just neck lol, ill make it even clearer in the ad
Kev Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 those led's are interesting mate, are they easy to install? just been checking out the website, seems alot cheaper than simms built in led's, and its easily reversible! are they any good?
RayFW Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Aagh. Deleted posts causing confusion! Sorry for de-rail. Good luck with the sale. Edited August 18, 2008 by rayfw
gafbass02 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 God im confused!!! Yep, dead easy and great LED's and not intrusive either great things them there the fretFx's

They work really well but they do stick up (slightly) more than I would have liked. Can't argue for the money though.
Kev Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 $100 certainly sounds better than £300 from simms....cheers for that someone buy the neck, itl be the best upgrade you'll ever buy
Smash Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Wished the whole bass was for sale looks like some great mods. How low can the action go with the badass bridge?
gafbass02 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 seriously, stupidly fecking low! i mean crazy low, i had to bring it up to the crazy low it is now!

[/quote] but £300 for a few side led's? just seems a lot of money interesting question, obviously the led switch and battery is routed into the body (im guessing this work is included in the £300), how is it connected to the led's in the neck ie where does the wire go and would it mean you would have to dismantle it all to take the neck off?

ped Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I think the contact is 'made' when the neck sits in the pocket as the contacts are on the heel of the neck and in the pocket itself, so it is easy to remove the neck etc. When I took Miss ped to Bass Day (kind of me, no?) she saw a bass with LEDs in it and said 'god, what a chavvy bass' which made me laugh. I kind of agree!
Kev Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 ohhh so they are connected by contacts ie like a phone battery has contacts to the phone? thats good i dont intend to get front led's, i think side led's are classy

Routing/switching all included...Sims Leds are all wired in the neck permanently without disturbing the fret board, not stuck on the side with tape(ever tried drilling carbon graphite?) various type led lenses can be fitted and various controllers can be used for the L.E.D.S(thats if you require dancing front leds,i believe a demo of these is available on Utube some guy playing level42 riffs on a Fruit Machine... ).If you think this is Expensive dont have an Alembic made!

gafbass02 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Ill just mention here that if yo like the neck but dont want the lights, they just come off.
