  1. Did they make any fretlesses?
  2. How long is "medium scale" for these, please? And can you not take them back?
  3. That was more or less what I remembered, but I got all tangled up on the word "composite" and confused myself. Thanks for clarifying
  4. Are the bodies on these easy to upgrade? IIUC their construction is quite lightweight.
  5. Yes, me too. Though I don't like the headstock design at all.
  6. Too metal for me.
  7. Sounds like a result, though TBH I'm not sure who actually wound up with it...
  8. I should really have known better, because the single-neck is a much better match
  9. I was thinking more of the visual than the weight.
  10. Can't be many of these out there. I'm tempted to suggest this must be the Boat Anchor I keep hearing about https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-Made-Dano-Twin-Neck-Bass-Guitar/274466231164?hash=item3fe776537c:g:BKUAAOSw40xfJcAw
  11. Not a fiver, thank goodness, otherwise I'd be in trouble... GLWYS!
  12. Came here to post exactly this
  13. Link works fine for me.
  14. Forty years of weeding out the bad ones will surely help...
  15. There was a T34 parked up in a farmyard near my mum's house for about 18 months. I always wanted to paint it shocking pink
  16. Signs of neglect, as well.
  17. Sunburst. Just seems like cheating, somehow. I am not a fan of torty scratchplates, but on blue basses they have a certain something.
  18. Not fretless, thank the Powers Below...
  19. I put together a fretless from a Hohner neck I got here and an anonymous P-type body from eBay (possibly a Kay, as it has a six-bolt neck fixture). Because of the six neck screws, I had to plug and redrill the neck. When I put it together, I was able to pick it up by the headstock, with the bass hanging vertically, before I put the screws in. I'll never sell it. Great bass? No (but perfectly adequate given what I paid for the parts). Mine? Damn right.
  20. IIUC that probably means a prototype from the time SGC was considering moving production to Korea. I had a similarly-marked SB301 (trussrod out of adjustment, or I'd still have it). I could very well be wrong.
  21. I don't know about blue specifically, but I'm certain that the range of colours available in the USA was greater than in the UK and presumably the rest of Europe - it seems only to be black ones and orange ones here, but I've certainly seen US adverts for green examples. I'd really like this, but I'm unemployed as of next week, so... GLWYS!
