The Last Bass Outpost

Thank you, you are most helpful!

So, considering sixties T-birds were 34 3/8" (34.375") scale, 10 7/8" (10.875") shall be 31.636% of the scale length. Which means that with modern 34" scale that measure from the 1/2 point of the scale to the pickup's center line shall turn into 10.756".

The clovers tuners are a fun addition, as when they are positioned in - line they will not pass each other.

Do you know it for sure?
Did you actually try to put hipshot ultralite clovers instead of regular grovers?
Thanks!

Thank you very much for quick and very informative responses.
However, I still need some clarifications, if you don't mind:

3 1/4" from the fretboard to the side of the neck pup on the sixties ones, 3" on the Bicentennials, 2 1/2" on the post 87 ones.

Thank you! Since we're on the same side of the pond, could you please give me the exact measure in millimeters as well? Also, do I understand it correct that you measured from the actual end of the fretboard (wood tip), not the metal wire of the 20th fret? I guess the length of a wooden tip beyond the 20th fret may vary on different birds...

On both of my 64s (a II and a IV): from the center of the 12th fret to the centerline of the pickup, 10 7/8" (277mm).

Thank you very much! Do you mean the physical center of the 12th fret (where dot markers are placed) or do you mean the wire of the 12th fret , i.e the actual 1/2 of the scale?

No worries, I'll get one and report!

Vielen Dank, Herr Uwe! Ich werde für Ihre Bewertung warten

I really like how it looks. And classic ash body/maple neck with AlNiCo pickups must be a great combination.
I wonder how it sounds though. If I'll find a decent demo and like the sound, I'll definitely try to get one.

I don't think any of the JAE/Peter Cook items are on display and they are unwilling to supply a copy of a picture of them... you can see pics on their site though... just kinda awkward... the TRC on the "Lightning-Bolt is a perfect reverse (white to black) of the one on my T'bird...

There's a ridiculous T-bird II once owned by JAE on display in Hard Rock Cafe in Moscow. Never again was I so close to commit a theft like on the day I saw it the first time

great! thanks

yes, that's an interesting fact
