How low can the action go? Do these basses have the carved top/back?
Oh, and what's the nut width?

awilkie84 03-13-2013 10:43 AM

The action can go quite low. I play with it very low. It can probably go a few mm lower, still, but I'm rather heavy handed and annoyed by fret buzz.

The bass has a carved top/back, yes. It's not as curved as the NS-2, though.

I will take nut width measurements when I get home from work.

awilkie84 03-13-2013 10:35 PM

Added nut measurement, as request.

Trade?
 
Any interest in an LTD Vintage 204 series with an EMG PJ set installed? It's basically an aged finish Maple neck P with an EMG PJ set. I bought it for a vintage type bass to use live but I'm all about the Spectors and it just isn't my thing.

While I like the look of the Relic'd body, I'm not a fan of ESP/LTD basses. Sorry.

No worries, good luck with the sale.

Very nice nut width, do you have any pictures with a side on view of the neck? or front to back thickness measurements.

awilkie84 03-14-2013 03:49 PM

I'll take some tonight.
