string length lengthening in relation to the D

[Calvin Marks]

Hey Tomas, considering that the bass already has a removable neck (I hope it's not the Chandler though), why don't you just get a new neck made? It's going to be expensive but I don't really see how else you could increase the string length? I've DECREASED the length on one of my basses and that was easy, I just had a small false nut made and then moved the bridge up accordingly, so all the notes lay in the same spot.

It's not like you can move the nut further back and if you move the bridge further down it will shift all the notes down accordingly.

You're a big guy, you should be playing on 41" minimum.
