bass_ferret Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Nice bass - too many strings for me mind. Tried one of Bernie's 6 stings and found it very difficult to fret the bottom string. This one was extra wide at the customers request.

rumour6 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thanks all, Bernie tends to pick Knobs etc based on the look of the bass, so they tend to vary, the string spacing is 19mm at the bridge (same as a Jazz) and it's 35" scale. Bernie likes to make them 'individual' so there are nuances in almost every one. Not cheap and a fair wait..but...if you know someone with one, try it and you'll see what the fuss is about, although wide, the neck is really slim with a low, low action. I live in Edinburgh and work in Glasgow...anyone thinking of getting one and wanting to try it, give me a bell. 07779 718 119 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
