That's good to hear that the neck ergo's is in the same ballpark as a Millennium. I could definitely go for another four-string in the arsenal, as most of my basses are fivers.

I was saying the G bass is like the Millennium, NOT the Cirrus bolt on. Read what KodiacBlair said.
I wonder if anybody here has done the same thing to the over-sized steel saddles on their Peavey trapezoidal bridge?
I got around that when I found out that the Wilkinson brass saddle set worked in the trapezoidal bridge.
Actually, it might be you Kodiak that told me they worked out right.
Don't think I can't take credit for that oneI got around that when I found out that the Wilkinson brass saddle set worked in the trapezoidal bridge.

Got a hazy memory of swapping saddles and machine screws in the Partiot while it was wearing a T40 neck.Not quite the same thing
Yeah that should make a crazy versatile setup. Love to see how this ends up!
I've always been able to get low enough action on my Foundation S as it is. Thats a good idea though, flatten the bottoms out some and that should give you more adjustability if you need it. Those barrels are huge.

I have also been able to get low enough on my big saddle Foundations. I do have a G saddle that is nearly touching the base plate, but the string is right where I like it!
I was hoping to have more time to work on it over the next few weeks, but my employer is still 'open' and I'm working from home. Boss man still wants us to put in our 40 hours and hes checking to make sure work is actually getting done.
I'll get it there eventually. I'm just glad I got some of the parts in before everything shut down.
Well I'll be very interested in how it all goes. Looks super slick!
@ElBecko59 - I know you were asking how the 35" scale on the Milli is. I was at first bummed that it's 21 fret and still 35" scale because psychologically it means more room between frets, hence harder to play, but the spacing is identical to the 24 fret, so it's literally all in your mind.
That being said, it makes ZERO sense to me why they didn't just make it a 35" scale bass. I can only assume, like every business decision, it was about money and maybe there was a surplus of Gbass boards, or they just used the same boards on both basses. I'm sure someone knows the answer, but my tech LOVED my Milli when he did the set up and said he would buy one in a heartbeat if it were only a 24 fret bass.
So, it does matter, but if you're like most people and play under the 12th fret, then it won't even be noticeable.
Personally, mine hasn't been getting as much play as I thought it would. I'll have to bring it back into the rotation one of these days.

24 fret doesnt matter too much to me, but I have to have that 21st fret. That's a deal breaker to me on a lot of basses. the 2 octave range of a 24 is nice but not needed for me. YMMV.
I asked as I have been eyeing a Millennium Plus with maple neck - but the concern is will my small 60yr old hands feel the difference
I agree with him on wanting 24 frets. My right hand just falls more naturally in place on a Cirrus than a 21 fret Millennium/Gbass/Foundation.
Right, "Zero sense not to" refers to bolt on Cirrus 4 string ?
Got 3 different threads I'm trying to keep up with. Yes, I'm confused
