I came off as a dick in my last post. My apologies. I totally forgot about Warmoth's fretboard extension option. With the idea that I've been pushing, you lose some frets. If you move the bridge back, you need to extend the scale of the 'fretboard' and you lose some frets. But with the...

I'm only talking about those 2 Carvin long scale basses and how they were modified. I think you missed every point that was made. And they don't have a neck joint, They're neck through. And both the 34" scale and the 35 1/4" scale have the same overall length. They were able to change the "scale...

Can anyone see the Carvin pics I linked to? They were there an hour ago. I don't see them anymore. Does Carvin block linking? Line6man, If moving the bridge back is a stupid idea, then I guess Carvin is a stupid company. And Aesthetically it's no t much different. If those pics were there you...

Here is what Carvin did. Look at the bridge placement. This concept would also work on a Jazz bass or a P bass if you went 1 inch. Carvin goes 1/4" more, but I'm sure 1 inch would make a difference. 34" scale Carvin. 35 1/4" scale Carvin And a quote from Carvin

Unless they designed a fretted 35" scale neck. Which was the original point. They would only have to change the scale/fretboards of their current necks and offer a compatible routing option for their existing bass bodies. The entire bridge would have to be routed an inch back. And the pickup...

I'm talking about unscrewing the whole bridge and moving it back an inch. On mine there is still PLENTY of room for the saddles to move and intonate. I wasn't talking about just moving the saddles back.

Mine has a vintage bridge. I'm going to look into the badass style soon, my friend at work has that. We will see.

I just measured my Jazz bass and there is exactly 1 & 1/16" on the low E side to move back. And 1 & 3/8" on the high G side. It won't hang over the edge. You probably wouldn't even have to move back that far because there is so much room for the bridge to actually intonate. So you wouldn't have...

Carvin does a cool thing. They move the bridge all the way back so that the neck doesn't become longer and the nut doesn't move farther away. Yet the "scale" becomes longer, meaning the frets get bigger. I would love to see Warmoth do that with their fender style basses. They would have to...

Any updates? I'm getting excited over here!  :glasses10: Also, will you do custom necks with the fender headstock?

Is this the only headstock shape you're offering? I like it, but I'm just curious. It's similar to Lakland's headstock.

You just made my day. When will this be for sale? Also, Will fender headstock shapes be available? Could you get the license from them? If not, I'll buy the parts from you anyway. Just curious.

bwbass, is that for 4 string basses only? Or for baritone/bass vi instruments too? Basically, what are the nut width options? Thanks!

I definitely want 30"scale for string tension and as much sustain as I can get out of it. I also want a stoptail, but I could live with the tremolo route if I had to. But I really want Humbuckers with coil tap. I never use the middle pup on a strat. I'm sure I won't on a Bass VI. I think...

I found out today that the Jaguar body style for the Fender Bass VI with 30" scale neck was larger/unique. So Warmoth would have to add that to their catalog too. I really don't see why not, USACG seems to do a lot of sales with this. And I contacted them and they don't do any mods, just...
