Kev why don't you try tuning down a full step, it will loosen up the strings a bit and should make it easier on your left hand and you should also find digging in comes alot more easily, or simply tune down half a step and see if that makes any difference first, just a friendly suggestion man :).

With all due respect, you have made this a bit of a comedy thread! (no offence intended)

I am sooo close to being tempted, just as well I don't live near enough for a try out!

I was just thinking about simultaneous equations the other day in the shower. Yes, I'm a geek. Finally a chance to use them in real life.

Let's take B as the value of the bass without a neck. G is the value of the graphite neck. W the wooden, and S is shipping.

So:

B+G = 800
B+W+S = 800
B+W+G = 900

We can see straight away that W+S=G, and that W=100. Also G-S=100, and so 100+S=G.

This gives us B+S=700

And therefore S=100, B=600, W=100 and G=100. Therefore we can speculate that the bass, plus both necks, plus shipping, B+W+G+S will be £1000. Which is a bargain IMO.

I really enjoyed GCSE maths, all those years ago.

Lovely bass, btw. I'm sure it'll sell soon.

This doesn't look right to me? If we assume that the shipping is £30 then it doesn't come to £1000 but £930 and you can apportion B, G and W differently?

Will have a think in more detail.....

You know, you're right. We need a general solution for all cases of S!

So G-W=S.

We need to know what BMK is willing to sell a neck on its own for. Damn my terrible maths. I should have remembered that you can't possibly solve 4 variables from 3 equations!

haha, brilliant

the status neck on its own will be up for sale for around £150, which is a bloody bargain, if the rest sells, probably the same price for the wooden neck visa versa

so the best deal is to buy both!

Maybe you were distracted by something else while in the shower ...

Debby, perhaps?

okay, rethink

its still for sale kinda, but i'm gunna give it a good play over the weekend and such, and il probably end up keeping it, il better myself as a player and start using that B. The tone and otherwise playability of this superb instrument is worth that :)
