    Rapier’s pretty hefty too, and still a fair bit of neck dive… call it character

    By the by, the issue was the nut- gave it the old superglue and baking soda treatment and feeling much better with a redone slot

    Im yet to change the strings so I don’t know! If I had a choice I’d get a burns haha, but this was too good to pass up

    I had a short scale dano for a bit, sold it because the hollow Masonite body was just a little too light for me. I like a bass with heft! The neck felt great though.

    Glad about dano then I guess- and glad I grabbed my rapier now… Not that I ever buy new basses so shouldn’t really matter to me haha

    What’s the proper way to do it then? More winds so they leave the peg at a lower spot?

    What??? So no more dano, vintage or rapier in a few years? That’s crazy!

    Veeeery cool. Always love an extra neck pickup for added thump.

    I’ve seen these, they’re so expensive for such a little bit of kit! Worth the money I imagine though 🤷

    And yet the A string on all my basses still buzz when open.. I need to get some string trees installed or something it’s really annoying

    I ended up putting those entwistle P pickups in my old Japanese P copy. They’re really good, he’s a legend. Haven’t played one of the old Wilson’s, but they have cooler bridges for one! And I dig the massive sheet of metal in the middle of the guard

    Picked up this baby for £100 on Facebook marketplace and I’m feeling very happy about the purchase! I don’t see loads of discussion about these but they play and sound really great, especially with the price I paid for it. An homage to British bass making, it mixes elements of burns and Wilson...
