mcnach Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 [quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1508487939' post='3392476'] Was hoping it was going to be positive feedback...! I'm taking a wee trip into Glasgow later to meet a mate for a few beers after work, so I'm planning on popping into Guitar Guitar first to see if they have any in stock to give them a wee try......it says awaiting stock on the website, but still, any excuse to visit.........initially I was looking at the black / maple but now I am being drawn to the sunburst more......and I've never (ever!) owned a sunburst bass in my 25+ years of playing...!!! As one who has mainly played and owned Jazzes over the years, my only concern[b] is the thickness and width of the neck......[/b] [/quote] It is going to be... noticeable wider! But it's relatively shallow too, which makes it very comfy for me (and my hands are not big)... I find I adapt pretty quickly to the wider spacing and then it never becomes a problem.

[/quote] I went into Guitar Guitar in Glasgow on Friday, but as expected, none in stock - wanted to try one out. I’m sure the difference will be noticeable, but I also suspect it’ll will be manageable - used to play 5-strings, so I’m no stranger to a wide neck. The the only time I really struggled to adapt to a neck width was with a Lakland 55-02, I bought it knowing it was a struggle but convinced myself I’d adapt...which I didn’t...! 🙄😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Oh, I had a 55-02 and I loved that neck, by far the most comfy 5er I'ever tried. If you're in Edinburgh in the near future, you're welcome to come and try my Classic 50s Precision.
