    Wow, that B string sounded pretty good. Nice mods! Man, if I didn't just spring for another bass, I might have jumped on this!




    Bump for a nicely modded OLP!

    I see it's now on hold, but just out of curiosity (and just in case ...)

    1) Can you tell me the weight?

    2) Is the string length and spacing the same as on a 5 string Stingray (34" and 17mm)?

    Thanks.

    Sure, not a problem. Bathroom scale reads 10.2 lbs. A little on the heavy side, but not too surprising I guess since it's solid Ash. Scale length is 34" and the string spacing looks to be about 17.5mm. The bridge has adjustable string spacing, so that can be tweaked.

    The low B really is good on this one. I prefer 34" scale and while it can be hit and miss on the B string sometimes, I definitely don't buy in to the rule that 34" automatically equals crappy B string. =)

    Still waiting for payment confirmation, I'll let everybody know if status changes!
