Couch'd Tater...
I've had my Samick Greg Bennet Corsair bass for awhile now...it's a 34" P/J bass, very small body, that is starting to be a problem to keep the neck set...I bought it off eBay from a guy that rehabs factory rejects, I think I paid 100.00 for it...
Lately I've been thinking about a short scale, but all the Squiers I play fall short for me...
The idea that is floating around the dark recesses of my mind is this...to buy a body and neck from Warmoth and transfer most of the hardware and electronics from the Samick to it...the Samick doesn't sound bad at all, and the tuners and bridge seem to be of decent quality...
My hesitation come from not playing "enough" bass to justify the expense of building one...for body, neck and pickguard I'm looking somewhere between 600.00 and 700.00...plus it seems a bit silly to build it with the Samick parts, although I could save up and upgrade down the road...
