Prostheta Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 2.375" is a bit over 60mm. That's going to be one wide neck! I chose 56mm for mine and it seems comfortable enough. As for a slotted and radiused board, you'd be better off going for a 5-string bass board from LMII as they slot to 27.5" (plus a variety of others) and radius to 12" or 16". I've gone for 30" as I think intonation will be MUCH better over this scale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somn Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) well yes your right. I will be using the 30 scale as planed because, well my ltd 7 string baritone barely handles the f string and its a 85 string, sustain and attack suck monkey so I thought the 30 scale would help for tension. I also thought about a 28 scale like the ibanez mike mushock baritone, but I figured the low f is not the only string I drop that low. my last try with an 8 had a 27 1/2 scale from lmii but for g tuning using a 75 string, Any lower in that scale I had problems with slack and the like. anyway if the nut is a set 15 radius will a 12 or 16 radius work without problems? thats what I cant figure out thanks 4 the help again peace Edited March 30, 2007 by somn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
