I was filling in with a band I'd never played with. So I kept a pretty close eye on the guitar players left hand.

I converted the lower half of my double neck into a bass today, the scale length is 25.5 so it's longer than a Uke bass or one of those Taylor Mini basses. And it's audible in how it sounds, very deep and gnarly.
Yeah, the E-string is on the A tuner, this is because of the wrapping being to thick to put it through the tuning post of the E-tuner.
Oh and did I mention it's fretless?

Disagree! Why stop now. Go for the century club.I should really stop...
To each his own - at one time I had 23 basses and over the 40 something years I have owned over 70 different basses.
They were all great basses and I thought they all sounded great.
To my surprise, I now have one bass and one amp. And I plan on keeping it that way one bass - one amp.
But again - to each his own. But in my last post I did not say to stop I just said maybe to his post.
But his pic is great.

Many are good, but many Fenders - great.
But this one is good for me. Parts bass - but all Fender from 3 different Fender P basses.
I should really stop...
Dang! I thought I had a problem!
I have a few others in a closet, but these are my two main squeezes right now; I added the P over the past weekend -
That sandblasted J looks stellar with the black hardware. Really admired the blue finish.
I should really stop...
Is that a Bacchus woodline J bass I see?
If so, how do you like it? I've had my eye on buying one.
Do it. You won't regret it!!!

I just picked up this fella for the kids. It's a pretty cool little rig with great sound and playability.
I just need to pick up a nut for the tone pot. And do a little research. I'm guessing 97ish?

Well spotted, but no. It's a 2003 Standard 5 and it's amazing. There's also a Bacchus 24 and a Woodline P Classic in there. I think Bacchus make some of the very finest basses out there. I would say do it. Do it now!
