if you don’t like Fender necks try these, they are very thin like a guitar neck.
It’s not really the necks. I definitly wouldn’t want a thinner neck than my Peavey. In fact, the necks are one of the last things I’d complain about Fenders… but don’t worry, I’d get there.
It’s the single coil bloody pickups, and their position. They just get in the way when I’m trying to play, and you can’t use them to their advantage positioning-wose and they sound aweful to boot. DON’T BUY FENDER EVER.

You’ve never heard of a bass called rubbish? Funny, I could have sworn I’d mentioned my bass on here before…

I hope.
Though I don’t know, maybe I am a well-known bugger. :D
Hard to believe that this was actually one of the largest threads. Gracious Me makes a mockery of that. And everything else. :D

I still love my bass, even after all the hardship it’s caused me! I’d actually like to get the same model, so I can make all the same changes, but do a better job this time. :)
Otherwise I’d be looking at a Jack Casady. But I can’t come close to being able to spend money on a new bass, unfortunately. :(

do i understand you correctly if i understand that you’re actually building your own bass, or is my understanding of the english language too poor considering the time of day?

Not quite: My bass is a Danelectro Rumor, but I have modified and customised it. It has a new scratchplate, and a parametric EQ, and I’ve replaced/changed some of the other wiring that was in there, too. But I was learning as I went along, so there were things that I changed, then changed back, then changed again…
it would be nice to start with a new Rumor, and do the same things, but do them better. :)

i couldn’t do that; much too technical for me. i’m alreay proud of myself if i succeed in restringing my bass properly.
you must know what you’re doing. shouldn’t you try to find a wood worker and cooperate in making a new custom made bass guitar? i think i’d be interested in a 5 string version

It would be very nice to make a bass from scratch. I still have a long way to go before I could try that, though (both technically, and financially!).
Anyway, I’m off to bed now, so I’ll have to bid you goodnight. It’s good to see you again. :)
