85 - Neck through vs bolt on . . . which is SUPERIOR? - a podcast by Scotts Bass Lessons

Bolt-on? Neck-through? All bass guitars are essentially the same, right? Wrong! Many bass players say that bass guitars with bolt-on necks have a punchier attack than neck-through designs. In today’s episode, we’re going to highlight the pros and cons, so that you can decide which you prefer – or maybe you should have one of each! 

In this Episode you're going to learn:

• Why do most people start out with a bolt-on bass?
• Why neck-through basses are more expensive.
• The neck join that was popularised by Leo Fender.
• Where Fodera’s deluxe (dovetail) option came from.
• How Billy Sheehan modded his bolt-on Yamaha.
• And much, much more!
