Thanks for the imput so far guys . I've been trimming the Heard and am thinking about what bass to use for this . Looking at the steinberger, the neck would suggest it to be an obvious choice. Same with the Washburn status .
I have narrowed the choice down to 2! Both of these basses are more ornamental , ( dean taxi /,jack Daniels ). I think what I will do , is take the jack Daniels bass to Denmark street for a setup and ask them to complete the job , complete with new strings . Feel free to tell me 'don't do it '
Times are hard right now , but I hopefully will get it done in a few weeks.
Btw; I may have missed something above, but do you still get the same feel that you do on a five string ? I did love the feeling on my old schecter 5 string .
Cheers
