Good to see my Ex ( Goldie ) is going back to her original state....
That firemist HS looks so awesome with the body and golden tones in the rosewood board.

Alright guys, I put the long scale neck back on my decade so I could hear the alnico chis with a standard neck. I dig it! And then i decided that I should keep that bass original (as in, body to neck...the pups stay!) and the short neck is headed back to Lakland for a new body..

call me crazy :)

so now I'm plotting endlessly.

Idea #1: Decade body, J Mascis purple sparkle finish (matching headstock) Invalid Link Removed probably cream pearloid pickguard

Idea #2: Bob Glaub body, Chi pup in the sweet spot

Idea #3: Throw it on a JO with Chis, ala Ben Kenny

...thoughts? Besides that I have a problem? :ninja:

Thanks, all. Man this Hollowbody is INSANE. Have barely put it down for three hours.

I feel the same way with mine.
I sit around for hours noodling with in unplugged while watching a game on the tube...
Easily the best bass to play unplugged in the universe.

Then when I want to go deaf?
I plug it into the Mega rig, crank the gain and let those darkstars scream and blow out my eardrums... :) :bassist:

I've decided that I want a 5'er again but I;m not sure which that I want. My stable currently consists of 44-02D/LH3, 44-02D/Barts, 44-60 Custom and a 44-64.

I've been considering a 55-02, 55-60 and the 55-01. I'm leaning toward the 55-01 just because I don't have that model.

Thoughts?

Also, this HoBo immediately is a candidate for the title of best-for-me neck ever.

Looks a little goofy to me - headstock is disproportionately large to my eyes. :hmm: GAS averted on this model!

Body looks too small to me. IMO they should have just downsized the other hollowbody a little for the 30' neck. i love the burg decade hollowbody I have, sounds sweet not sure i need another 30" hollowbody as i very seldom play the ones i have.

i would like to hear the 30" with the chi's and see if it nails the Starfire/flats/bisonics sound

Re: the short scale HB, I've seen one in person and this picture (indeed, it could be the black background) is not doing its proportions justice IMO. I thought the bass looked good at the time, although I'd like to see it again.

My issue with the short scale HB is the potential for neck dive with a light body, larger headstock (not taking the angle of the photo into account - it's just big for this body) and the upper horn not reaching the 12th fret - where's the balance point on this thing?
