Calm down there buddy. Don't confuse my disagreement for not understanding your points. I know the neck joint on the Carvin is neck thru whereas the Ws are bolt-on, this is why I used the words "different neck joint." In any case, like Line6man stated, simply moving the bridge back (if it were possible on Ws Fender style bass bodies) presents are sorts of problems, like moving the pickup routes, new pickguard routings, new fret locations, etc. A 35" conversion neck is a better, and easier solution. FWIW, if you remember I am for a longer scale W bass. And no, Carvin is not stupid for moving the bridge, but they had the room to move and change the neck proportions and keep the bass's footprint the same. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. They're different animals. Simply moving the bridge back on a W (fretted bass) only creates problems. A 35" conversion neck requires no body mods and still makes everything compatible. Simply moving the bridge (on W's 34" scale) back to increase the scale length (which can't be done) means you have a 35" or 35 1/2" scale length with a 34" scale neck. Repositioning the frets would mean losing some, so you would now have an 18 or 19 fret neck. Bad idea. A conversion neck makes the most sense, on Warmoth's current Fender based parts. If you wanted a 35" scale, the Geckos do that, but not in 4 string. What don't I get?
