    Neck shapes - now I'm confused!!

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Hmm, I think it should be Fender's responsibility to make something this important clearer.

    I had a '62 RI and the neck was horrible, you could really see where they got the 'U' shape from. I likened it to the underside of a jaffa cake.

    The neck was very uncomfortable to play, and anything that filled my hand up more (depth), I found far more comfortable.

    I can only agree with most of the comments above and hope that someone can put forward info or find a reliable source with certainty.

    Vintage MIJ (formerly J@pCr@p) Spotting

    Aye, it's been spotted. Not as nice as the one you had, though. And a bit worrying considering the short duration of ownership.

    I'm really not shopping. I must extinguish gas some other way.

    Cheers for taking the time to link.

    That Tokyo seller has put up a Aria ProII P for bids, with a low starting price:

    Made in the same place, perhaps :) :

    Teaching your own kids to play??

    This is something that very much interests me.

    I have relayed to others, on World Jazz, the St. Louis one, the children follow a sax player whilst beating pots, pans, and boxes in time. What a wonderful way to learn and develop rhythm. Likewise, obtaining a good ear/pitch and vocal strength in choir.

    There [b]must[/b] be a study on child music development out there that explains how some people develop into having perfect pitch/good sense of rhythm.

    I'm a 10/90 - nature/nurture guy.

    My Carvin BK4A kit build

    I assume Jono is double checking because there are normally additional costs to pay once the gear is in the UK.

    Well done to Carvin if they've sorted this out themselves.


    Your Carvin kit is cool. Looking forward to seeing how this goes, Mark. Any plans for the headstock (decal)? I've had a custom one made in the past.

    That's quite true, except ukuleles will be relatively tiny compared to our giant like future forms. We will have evolved from being able to hear high-pitched instruments; with only primal women and obnoxious house-pets hearing those Hawaiian hip-shaking tones.
