Members Renfield Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 Related question... does anyone know where to buy an aftermarket neck that conforms to Fender specs that yields a 35" 4 string from an otherwise "normal" 34 inch drilled body?

Members 82Daion Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 They're out there, but I don't really know why you would need one. The LTD C-304 and the Daion I used to own were both 35" scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cliff Fiscal Posted October 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 I personally don't really need a 5 string, but still need to tune down.... 35" scale seems to help keep things tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rpsands Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 The Peavey G bass is 35 and the drop D could explode your face It's epic, right on par with my old 35" scale 4-string Modulus (m92). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that with necks that stiff, they would have done just as well with a 34" scale. If you need to detune, it's a lot easier and cheaper to buy a heavier gauge of string, IMO. I'd wager that you'd see a much more noticeable improvement in string tension that way, as opposed to what you'd see from the longer scale length.

I'd wager that you'd see a much more noticeable improvement in string tension that way, as opposed to what you'd see from the longer scale length. It's possible but I wouldn't put money on it; while the B string on my Steinberger is pretty solid, I prefer the drop D with the M92-4 and the G-bass both by a pretty good margin. The Steinie's neck is probably far stiffer than either of those, due to being huge and fat by comparison. The G-bass's neck is so tiny I can wrap my hand entirely around the it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted October 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 DR strings made all the difference on my JazzV....... ...but still doesn't compare to my 35" scale basses. Just waiting to take out a loan, so I can re-string my other two basses with DRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Modulus necks are stiffer than the Moses necks I've seen, especially when there's no truss rod involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted October 21, 2009 Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 The Peavey G-Bass, one of the most underrated and smokin' deals in bass guitar history (moreso than the fabled T-40 could ever hope to be) has a 35" scale on the four string model. I bought a NOS G-Bass for $350 a couple of years ago w/ohsc. It was a sweet instrument, but I just don't play four stringers anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
