Well I was able to get my hands on my first long neck. It has such a great sound. Just trying to get used to it. Then I look forward to using its flexibility with new tunings. Should be a fun adventure. Putting a little more pressure on those bass strings takes some getting used to as well, but that's all part of the fun right?

Mario, while your fingers recover from pressing strings you could share your happiness and take pictures, and, of course, show them here :-)

Thanks guys. I'll take some pics soon. EJ18 is what she came with. I just noticed that when I use the amount of pressure I am used to I get a little rattle like fretting out. I have the same thing happen when I play around with my bass so I know its just getting used to heavier strings.

Congratulations! I've been wanting to add a long neck to the herd for a while now. Just waiting for the right mix of money and opportunity!

I use Adamas 1818 when tuned to D, and that's fine for me. Used to use EJ18s and Adamas 1919, but those 1818 make things a little bit easier.... I have one tuned to C, with 1919. I also run one of my Longnecks with 1717 Adamas, tuned to Eb....
