A lot of the Fenders (and other brands) I saw there only went up to 20 frets. To be fair, I can't imagine a lot of bass players would use the last four frets (you'd be pretty much in normal-guitar range there with the tone), so I guess they figure they can get away with not having them. But I think it looks better having the longer neck...

Also, if the Fender Precision headstock looks the same as the Squier version, I can understand if Adam swapped the neck around on that one... it's HUGE and uuuugly.

For iloveedge's benefit (sorry, I can't remember if I got told your name!), I pretty much never played my bass for four of those six years, so it's not quite as bad as it sounds.

PARDON ME??????


I am SO not talking to you anymore.


and for the record, Adam swapped the neck of the JAZZ bass for a precision neck, so apparently he does not agree with you either

I wanna get bass tab for a Joy Division song, "Twenty Four Hours"... and another song I forget. I wrote it on my hand the other day, but washed it before I wrote it on something more permanent.

Streets is awesome to play on bass...

And you'll love a bass, EdgeIsTooSexy!
Never tried writing a solo, myself... never tried writing any music at all. I don't think I have the sort of brain that can invent music from scratch. Good luck with it!
