rumour6 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It takes something special to shut me up... (according to her indoors), consider me dumbfounded. I wish I had the application (and money) good luck with what seems a very reasonable asking price for a piece of history... Oh... Merry Christmas.. ( I hear Santa is bringing me a double neck.... oh well, worth a try) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomEndian Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Are the necks different scale lengths? Looks like the 8-neck's short-scale and the 4's long-scale. That'd do my head in swapping between them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Just spectacular. I wish I could afford this - but I can't. However, since it's local, I might well just pop round & steal it. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some crazy optical illusions going on. In the first picture on the eBay listing (the picture in the OP here), the 8-string bridge is clearly further from the "tail" of the bass (by an inch or two), so for the scale lengths to be the same, the 8-string neck would have to protrude further from the body by the same inch or two. But then in other pictures (the one of the headstocks, the one of the backs of the necks and especially the full-length one in the case), the 8-string neck clearly [i]doesn't[/i] protrude further. It's noticeably shorter. And the frets on the 8-string neck are clearly more closely spaced than on the 4-string neck (with the 12th frets nicely coinciding). So it must be a shorter scale length on the 8-string neck, by a good 3 or 4 inches if I'm reading those pictures right. Could you satisfy my curiosity and measure from the nut to the 12th fret on each neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hey, George! Best of luck with the sale and have a good one. BTW, the Telebass sale didn't go ahead so that white T-bass is back in the sights!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
