HEY I HAVE A IDEA!
I figured out that a SS bass neck will just about work on a LP body is you move the bridge to where the tailpiece is... Now here is the thing... the neck on my electra lp broke off a while back.. and... I have thins univox beatlebass neck that has the string spacing of a guitar [WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS] so I'm thinking on putting that neck on the lp and like using a guitar bridge and pickup and tuning it like a tenor bass... thoughts anyone?

update... ESP neck ended up on the green V. Still looking for the right idea for that jag body, thinking on putting mustang pickups in the Flier, The V is going to be what Elwood suggested me to do...

Highflyer pickup score'dge FUCK YEAH!

you could just use the LP tailpiece as a bar bridge a la the bridges on Gretsch guitars or Les Paul Juniors... you'd have to drill it for four strings or use a short trapeze tailpiece like a Hofner and groove the top of the stoptail. the latter would probably be more practical. if you got the string spacing JUST RIGHT using a guitar pickup could work really well with the strings balanced between two polepieces, or if you use something like a Hot Rails or a SuperTron spacing is irrelevant.

That is a good idea. But. No I mean this neck has guitar string spacing.. There is no taper from the nut to the heel [like a 30" scale tenor guitar neck...] It will line up with guitar pickups... When I bought it this was not known Or I would have passed.. I am thinking about using my LP because well I sort'a sawed it's neck off one day..

sounds like it's got tenor bass written all over it, then

You know it!

Ok.

Hi-flyer pickups is here. Just need to find a bridge... thinking old badass 1

The dano neck will not go on the mock... so I have no idea what I'm going to do to my green V maybe put the original tele neck I had on it...

The dano neck is... going to stay a 4 string and go on the jazz master body @ the start of the thread with a Tesco pickup.. I am still thinking on a bridge...

damn!
just......
damn!

OH GOD I HAZ SUCH A IDEA! AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT ELWOOD! ALL YOUR FAULT! STAY TUNED...

Thang is about to get turned back into a g-tar...
