Obrienp Posted Sunday at 15:07 Share Posted Sunday at 15:07 In my experience it will neck dive badly but other folks experience may be different. NB, I’ve only had the SS and 32” variants but I would have thought a full scale may be even more inclined to be neck heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted Sunday at 22:15 Share Posted Sunday at 22:15 The early Jag bass had a less-than-inspiring preamp. A friend had one, he described it as "pissy" which is surprisingly accurate 😄 That said, if you're doing anything Who-related the Jag (or Jazz) isn't your friend. Precision all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bremen Posted Tuesday at 09:08 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:08 I know Beedster loves him a Precision, so why not P neck on a Thunderbird body? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that it’s not cheap, at its most basic, it’s a shade over £1400. A few extras (opaque colour, rosewood ‘board, better hardware, etc) and you’re getting up to £1800-£2000. Not bad for a custom instrument, but it would be good to have an off the peg option available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that the Limelight Slabs aren't going to have "that" Entwistle/Leeds sound unless it has a maple cap neck, which I don't think it does.
