extremecustoms Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 I was wondering how hard it would be? I finally found THE guitar I have been looking for, but I also know that I have been on a "witch hunt" for a short scale bass lately to add some variety to my bass closet. I was wondering what do I need to do to accomplish this? Do I need to search for a short scale neck and try to slap it on, and be done with it? Or what needs to be done, this would be an awesome set up if it could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Why not re-drill the headstock to handle larger Bass tuners and swap out the fret board if necessary? Plus switch bridges of course...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremecustoms Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Man, re-readin' that, I was really vague - it's a lot easier than I made it sound... It already is a bass, so there goes most of the work... BUT it is in the long scale, and I'd like to shorten it up - I guess this means your plan could still work tho - switch out the neck from a guitar or something, and make the head accept the bass tuning stuff... Do you think this would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I don't see why it wouldn't as long as the frets scale out to the desired tuning, of course the headstock will need to be re-drilled and the nut replaced so it can handle the larger guage strings. (just a thought I'm no expert on this kinda thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
