string length lengthening in relation to the D

[Tomas Bouda]

yes, i use this bass while traveling. it comes in an awesome roadcase that is built by the same company that built the stanley cup's case. not only that, i don't have a hatchback, so the box fits nicely in my volvo's trunk! again, i only want to have a longer string length because i don't want to have to re-learn bass every time i switch back and forth. yes, the bassbar is coming off, which caused the top to sink in a little bit under the bridge. it will get fixed and it will be killer!

Hmmm, well if you like the sound/feel of the shorter string length then have you considered shortening your other basses string length? That would be an easier procedure that trying to lengthen your current one. Then again, your big bass could sound terrible with the short length.

Really? Changing it either way is the same more or less depending on by how much and to what degree of 'permanent' or 'invisible' you want the job to look.

I suggest that to get the best and REAL answers for YOU the Poster asking that you consult the actual Person/Bass Luthier 'specialist' that HAS done this before and will be doing your bass.

thanks! that certainly is wise advice!
