BassBalls Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Im so tempted! Got no money for it though. Fancy swapping it for a fretless Warwick Fortress? Cheers
guitarnbass Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 swap you a jackson 5 string for it? see a few threads below this one..
2x18 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 PMs replied to Sorry guys im not interested in a long scale bass, in fact I would keep this one , but my old hands can only manage short scale now ( I have 2 Mustangs ) and I dont get on with fretless. Regards --- Will.
2x18 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Posted November 7, 2007 Has nobody got a short scale Bass they would exchange for this. I am willing to put cash with it, towards a Quality Short Scale Bass, or possibly a Baritone Gui----tar Will.

Regards --- Will.
s_u_y_* Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Ah... I'm glad to see my ol' Precision being put to good use. Very nice! Have a good ol' bump on me...
Shaggy Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Not especially interested in the bass (cracker though it is), but if you’re into custom building, I have the neck and hardware off a 1968 Kalamazoo (Gibson’s budget brand at the time, but US-made), basically a copy of a Fender Mustang, with short-scale Fender style neck in maple/rosewood, and the hardware straight off a Gibson EB-3. In good nick, but minus big neck pick-up (stuck on a Jazz bass in the early ‘80’s!). Only mention it as short-scale necks are hard to come by, and this has a bit of history and mojo at least.

Incidently I still have a Gibson "Mudbucker" big humbucking pickup I removed from my EB2 back in the 70s (when I replaced it with a DiMarzio Model 1 )kicking about somewhere, might be worthwhile digging it out and putting on Ebay.
