[quote name='Alun' post='78540' date='Oct 23 2007, 09:46 PM']Ah sorry, didn't ask my question very well - why stop at 21 rather than 24? Neck pickup positioning or just personal preference ( or summat else entirely)?[/quote]

I found the extra neck/figerboard length does a number of things - gets in the way of my newfangled poppin' finger, makes the body smaller (or the lower cut bigger) and puts the balance out.

I've had 24 fret basses and never really liked them that much.

21's enough for me. the P5 has a deeper lower cut han a fender by a few mm and it gives me access further up the neck so there's a load of frets I can get to more comfortably anyway.

So happy with 21 for now

I quite like the look of the Fender Jazz 24 though

For what its worth Si, I was up at Jons today and saw the body of your bass hung up in the spray booth, it looks stunning !

That's odd I was sure I replied to this yesterday ..

I'll try the ones it comes with first It's kind of hard to tell 'til I see it and try the knobs in a gig situation.
Ideally I'd like to be able to look at the knobs and tell where things are visually so I may be looking for something with a position indicator on it. On the P5 I use the grubscrew holes to tell..

They are certainly nice though ..

Sorry mate no, Jon told me to take a look. so I just had a quick peek. The extractor fans were on full tilt in the spray booth and I didn't want to disturb all the "magic" going on so I shut the door again sharpish. I didn't have me camera anyways and tho one on me phone is crap !
Its worth waiting for the finished article now anyway Si, not be long

Ha ha .. Hey do you want me to take yours up for a fettle?

[Rich]

I'm probably going to take mine up (going with Si, couldn't resist really), as I'd like a wee bit ground off the bottom of the G bridge saddle... can't get it quite as low as I'd like.
