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?
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.
