  1. Thanks all! I definitely do think it's the same bass as the one in the film (the flamed maple on the headstock in the film looks to match), but I've not been able to find anything to 100% validate it. The band weren't credited on the film, so that makes it even trickier...

     

    It is a lovely bass though & has a lovely thump on the front pickup - if I had more space in the house I'd be hanging on to it!

    Thanks for the info, I'm not very clued up on pups but does is have a classic p sound? 

    It certainly does!  The Geezer is EMG's take on a passive Precision pickup & it's currently strung with flats to give it more of a vintage Fender feel & tone.

    That's a gorgeous looking bass! Neck looks nice and slim and body compact. Did you build it yourself? What woods are they?

    I was really after a Fender but will bear this in mind. 

    Cheers! Assembled it myself from parts. Body is swamp ash & neck is Canary, which I'd describe as half way between maple & wenge. Much lighter than maple & very articulate - difficult to put into words, but I tried it in a couple of different bodies & it sounded great on both! Finished lightly with tru oil, so feels very 'natural wood' if you know what I mean...

    Pickup is EMG Geezer Butler & hardware is Hipshot (bridge / string tree) / Schaller (tuners).

    Oh I am after one of these! If anyone knows of one going? Or one of the Fender MIJ 62 reissues from the 80's/'90's P or J 

    34" is too long for me and I have 30" but this is a compromise on sound hence want a 32" 

    That one's gone to a new home now, but I am thinking of putting a Warmoth 32" scale bass up for sale soon. Weighs less than 7lb & sounds huge!

    Anyone know where I might get a fender style medium scale neck? Seem rare as hens teeth!

    Is it just a neck you need? Not sure how much shipping / taxes would be, but how about this?

    If it doesn't have to be a Fender-style headstock then there's a Gibson-style headstock one at https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-bass-neck-32-medium-scale-20-fret-maple-blackwood/

     

    Alternatively, buy this! 😉
