I have a set of 60s bare knuckle pups in one of my jazz basses and love their tone!

Thank you all for the input people. As mentioned all my 'usual' basses are 20 fret fenders. I'm ordering this specifically to provide something different to my norm so think I'm going to go with 24. I'll keep you all up to date in the build diaries section if you're interested... ;-)

Simply stunning! Can't wait until it's my turn to make a collection from mike but won't be until close to Christmas. The wait is killing me already. Looking forward to reading your full review!

Well? Did you pick it up? How is it? Where are the pictures??? Can't wait to see...

Hmmm... Interesting no one has any thoughts about increased sustain. I assumed the neck extending further into the body would give greater vibration transfer between body and neck resulting in more sustain. Turns out I'm overthinking it as usual ;-)

So I'm getting a custom build specced and trying to decide on the number of frets to go for. The question is this... Is there any benefit to having 24 frets other than the extended range? It's unlikely I'll play that high although guess for jazz soloing purposes it's a bonus but I'm wondering if the longer fretboard extending further into the body offers any tonal difference or improved stability etc? The bass is going to be a pj style super jazz with ostentatious fancy woods (because I'm worth it!) so I don't think 24 frets will look peculiar... Any thoughts?? Thanks!
