b'Hey guys!
\\n
\\nEpisode 2: All About Necks is now available for download!  Click Here!
\\n
\\nToday we talk all about Necks- Whether it\'s fret size, scale length, or fret placement, we\'ve got you covered!  Now to give a small overview, I personally chose the scale length of 34" (I prefer the tone sound, and feel like the short scale is too short for my taste).  I also chose Jumbo Stainless Steel fretwire, and maple wood for the neck with an ebony fretboard (Which we\'ll get into later). 
\\n
\\nDuring the podcast, I mention an online fret calculator.  You can access that here: Fret Calculator
\\n
\\nI\'ve also attached pictures of the wood I\'ve chosen to work with for my bass project:
