neck thru basses

[dlmarquez]

Besides Rickenbacker and Pedulla, who makes neck thru basses?

 

[Sharko]

almost everyone makes some neck-through basses, neck-through variations of bolt-on basses are pretty common. For examples check out Traben, Schecter, and I believe that the Epiphone Thunderbird Pro's are NT.

 

[chanson]

Most high end Spectors are neck thru

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Alembic, Carvin and Ken Smith are the first that come to mind.

 

[dystopiate]

Nearly every brand has neck through and/or set neck instrument(s). Why do you ask?

 

[kander]

Warwick.

 

[DeanT]

B.C. Rich.

 

[PSPookie]

Sadowsky?

 

[DerHoggz]

Ibanez!

 

[Bassamatic]

Peavey Cirrus and I think the Millennium also.

 

[funkout5]

i think carvin only makes 2 or 3 basses that AREN'T neck-thru

 

[7StringBassist]

LTD/ESP does as well

 

[Stickk]

Wishbass.

 

[DWBass]

Peavey Cirrus and I think the Millennium also.

Millenniums are bolt ons.

 

[kesslari]

Tobias basses come in neck-through

 

[chuck3]

not to miller your thread, but I think a more helpful question is whether neck-thru basses are better, and if so, why, and at what increased cost. Just my .02.

 

[allexcosta]

Yamaha, Fodera, Smith, Benavente, Warwick, Ibanez, Brice, Samick, Strinberg. I mean, who doesn't...

Ok, Fender, Sadowsky, Dingwall, Lull don't...

 

[Pj,Rj,Hj]

Probably easier to list who does not make Neck-thru's, even MTD occasionally build neck thru's.

Below are some to as far as I know, neck-thru's are not part of their philosophy...
Fender
Musicman
Wal
Sadowsky
Jaydee (set neck)

I guess my reasoning here was that from what I see, about 85% of all basses, new or old are basically some sort of relative of the original Leo Fender P bass.
bolt on neck, 34 inch scale, etc.
Gibson and a few others make set necks.
And there are a few companies that specialize in neckthru construction
Rickenbacker is first to come to my mind.
I am interested particularly in fretless neck thru...the Pedulla Buzz or Rick 4003 fl. are 2 good examples of what I'm looking for.
I've played bolt-on neck basses for years, but many years ago I had a set neck bass that I REALLY liked and I'm very keen to try a neck thru.
I must say that what I've heard of Mark Egan with his pedulla is very nice.
appreciate any suggestions ya'll might have on quality fretless neckthrus...any scale length from 30 to 34

If you don't want to spend a big amount of money, Carvins are an excellent choice. You should check them out.
