You may have something there. My Sandberg is lacquered and the neck is pretty stable, more so than the 2 oil/waxed EBMM basses.

What am I doing wrong with EMG pickup?
BigRedX replied to Brian18242's topic in Repairs and Technical
With a multimeter or continuity tester. TBH, If you don't have at least one of those you probably shouldn't be doing your own wiring as you have no way of checking what you have done wrong if it's not working properly. -

Listening to solo DB albums, no backing, just one bass player

Edgar Meyer's recordings of Bach's cello suites are sublime as well! I also enjoy David Friesen's modern approach, and Glen Moore's bass compositions. -

Is this where nut width matters?

I'd also point out that a higher string action will make your instrument project better and also let you dig in more. Of course, you might have a high action already... I'm sure the riser will help. When I got my first bass guitar, I haven't had an amp for a while. Practicing, sitting on my bed, I've noticed that the bass was amplified by the one-piece headboard that I pushed the bass' body onto by accident. I played in that spot all the time. 🙂

Definitely have it professionally appraised before proceeding down any route to sell it. There's a few luthiers and sellers in the uk that are specialized and/or knowledgeable with basses.

Thats a good question. Its easy enough to take a bit of depth out of the 'shoulders' of a neck. Its also fairly straightforward to make a neck shallower from front to back as long as you have enough clearance from the underneath of the truss rod. I think though that the Wimbish ones are 1.5" wide at the nut and the standard ones are 1.61" (thats from memory so I might be wrong on the exact decimals), so that would be quite a job, reducing the width at the neck and then in turn changing the taper of the neck from where it joins the body. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had this done?

LOOKING TO BUY / WASHBURN S1000 STATUS BASS
-
You do realise that the Washburn S1000 isn't that good, don't you? You'd be better off looking for one of the wooden necked real Status models like an Energy/Series I, Groove, Barracuda, or Eclipse. They at least have the true Status sound and build quality. There's a very nice Claret Red Groove for sale on here that used to be mine.
