[quote name='mart' post='1006691' date='Oct 30 2010, 08:54 PM']If you take your Corvette to a decent luthier, they will be able to make a short scale neck to fit, and nothing will need changing on the body. The sound will be a tiny bit different, because the pickups will be in a slightly different place along the strings, as well as because of the shorter neck. But there shouldn't be any issues.[/quote] Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I was hoping, I have contacted Warwick custom shop (still awaiting their reply). I shall also be seeking out a decent luthier, if anyone could suggest one in the Herts/North London area, I would be most grateful.

Don't think that would help the neck & shoulder problems though, maybe getting a lighter bass would be better. [/quote] Thanks for the reply. I've tried a capo, and it does help a bit, but it's a bit off-putting and just don't look right. I've also tried lighter basses (many high-end), but I think it's the reach that is causing the problem rather than the weight. And from a sound point of view, I just keep coming back to my beloved corvette.

Does anyone know where I can get a Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Short-Scale Bass?

Does anyone know whether I could get a short scale neck made for my Warwick Corvette. Would anything on the body need modifying, or can it just slot in? I have neck and shoulder problems, so need to go down the short scale route, but love my Corvette so much, that I don't want to change it.
