« on: April 18, 2016, 06:59:16 PM »Another note about long-scale hollows - many of them do have a neck dive problem. I know that my 32" scale Gretsch 5123 is a bit of a diver, and i went to an extra-long suede strap to fight that. IIRC, my Casady was a diver.
Due to the fondness that Bill and I have for short scale basses, I don't always perceive this as a problem. My new Psycho Cabbie is a shorty (and that's my 5123 behind it...)
Yep, a long neck on a hollow body is a typical diver. That's why I placed my bridge low on the body to bring the neck into the body farther. It really helps. The long upper horn also aids the situation.
