Recommendation for 4-String Neck Thru with 24 Frets Basses?

[joel406]

Alembic

 

[NortyFiner]

Schecter Studio. Neck through, skinny 24-fret neck, comes in 4 or 5 string, ticks the scale under 10 pounds, and all for less than $1K new.

Elrick. Light weight,

not cheap.

Based on the info we have, Spector seems like an obvious choice. Either a new Euro or a second hand US NS / NS4.

I think for now, they make neckthrough more for 5 and 6 string basses.

 

[Chewy_B_i_T_s]

Cort A4 or its cousin Ocean TB70
ESP LTD D-4

Warwick Streamer is great.

Peavey Cirrus is another good option.

 

[JeezyMcNuggles]

Is there any neck thru basses with 24 frets that you guys recommend? I prefer a very skinny neck with 4 strings, 5 is ok too. Thanks!

I'd say a kestrel, but it has a wide neck. Like a complete mix of P and J

Look into Warwick, Spector, and a used Peavey USA Cirrus

 

[aprod]

Alembic

Those weigh a ton.

 

[aprod]

Spector Doug Wimbish sig.

 

[A9X]

Those weigh a ton.

Not necessarily. Depends on the woods and build spec.

 

[sotua]

Kiesel Vader, Icon.

Warwick high end (Stage1/2, Dolphin, thumb NT) <-- though these ones aren't really light

 

[The Deep]

Spector.

Best. Basses. Ever.

 

[Lackey]

Get an old Carvin LB, swap in pickups / preamp if needed.

 

[GretschWretch]

Daion Power Mark X or Mark XX. Good luck with finding one, though.

Probably a Schecter or Spector really. They are lighter than MM/Sterling. Ibanez make some great necks for their basses too and they're light but most are bolt on unless you get a premium.

I have a deal with Spector and a 5 string neck thru. It plays and sounds great but it is by far the heaviest bass I have ever owned. Much heavier than my Fender, Alembic and Stingray.

Used Ibanex srx700

 

[Hevy T]

Jackson Spectra X series

I have 2 of the bolt ons and they are great. Currently thinking about adding the 5 string version

Ibanez musician series, old japanese insturments, 34" neck through.
