so, that's actually a bass neck on a guitar body?

 

[TheSpectorKid]

Ok, i just joined this exclusive club with the Korina Ep. Exlporer (i'm about to gut it and customize). But I can't find a damn hard case for the thing. Can anyone help me out?

 

[Darkstrike]

Yeah, pretty much.

Still, Jackson Kelly bass models have the same sized body anyway.

Got some pretty extensive upgrades planned for it, hopefully be done over Christmas. The big one, is a bridge pickup.

 

[Spleenface92]

Hmmm. I still have to make money to get my explorer back.

 

[Darkstrike]

Thats a pain in the testicles.

 

[Spleenface92]

yes it is. I'm still waiting to see a warwick stryker....

And also I definitely need one durable enough for the road because I'm touring like crazy and want to ensure this thing lasts.

 

[Spleenface92]

Make one? I don't know. When I used mine in marching band, I just wore it to school, put it on the floor (with the neck on my backpack) in classes. I'd put P-pickups in mine if I had any sort of money whatsoever.

 

[TheSpectorKid]

I already have an EMG PJ set in my other road guitar so i'm most likely putting in EMG soapbars, makes the guitars a bit more individual and will cost a lot less

They're like buses! Wait ages & then a pack of 'em turn up!

This little beastie crossed the pond via TalkBass' own FL Knifemaker back in 2007:

A couple of the nuts bridge:

Absolutely bonkers. To adjust the intonation you have to loosen the two bolts in the side, manually shift each saddle & then clamp them up again. That said, the fine tuners are very good.

Finally, a shot of the case:

Playability? Fast 'n' slick - 32" scale & a Jazz-type profile. Sounds? Turn the treble up & it homes straight in on Mssrs Burton & Entwistle, wind it off & it's quite docile - does a good "middly honk".

The original thread from Fl M is 'ere innit

Pete.

Just get a road case made. That's what I did.
