whynot Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 My Clover headless 5 is 36" scale. I have smallish hands and find it fine although the slim neck helps. Maybe worth trying the neck before the bass is completed so Jon can shave more off if you think it needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 IME the build quality/construction method has more impact on getting good low notes rather than scale-length. The low B on my 36"-scale Overwaters is really good, but it's even better on my 34"-scale Sei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettsguitars Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) why stop there? go 38". there's no reason why a 36 should be 'a stretch'. you can have a longer body to accomodate, rather than sending the headstock into orbit.

We should probably stop hogging jayblaze's thread now...[/quote] just one more they're pretty cheap those q tuners. although they're wound using 'Our proprietary computer aided guidance system'. all well and good for a space ship no doubt! but i'll stick to winding by hand on me homemade coil winder (less capacitance i reckon). they look cool though. copyrighted design too. so, N.A.S.A, don't even think about making these for M.I.A without the appropriate permission.

Dood Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I adore Buckeye! My first Shuker was a Buckeye fest - and the thought of a maple board on a Buckeye body does things to me! heh heh! Here's my ole Shuker on the website. I sold it to a very fine gentleman by the name of 'Platypus' Maybe one day I'll get a headless with maple board and buckeye facings again!
