WOW ! amazing.
How does the 36" neck feel ? Do you feel a change in string tension ?
I am contemplating this..... (though it would have to include a trade)
And if I can't swing it... BUMP

Lot of interest - yet still available !

The 36' neck has standard width and flat D profile - feels very fast. Of course you need to handle the extra length, which should be a problem only for 34' users. The bass feels perfectly balanced on the strap.

String tension feels slightly smoother than on regular scale lengths without loosing the definition tonewise - very nice ! And the B string is groundshaking - among 50 or so high end basses I owned this has the best !
