My G-3 fits in a Protec Contego. It's snug on the body edges, but padded enough to be well protected and no risk of damage

She plays bass for Emiliana Torrini which makes her instantly great!

It sucks waiting for things only for them to not arrive. It's not much consolation, but when I check the tracking and see it's at the local depot and charges are due, I just drive out, pay them and pick it up there and then. They're usually open til about 7 on a weekday and means I get the item quicker.

Never fit them, but been looking at them. You need to chisel out a couple of bits on the headstock to get them to fit - did you do this? The Gotoh Resolites are the same look, but don't need any chiseling. Was it a Fender style headstock theywere being fitted to? The Fender tuners are made by Gotoh so they should be decent enough quality.

Looks great so far, looking forward to seeing completed pics. I really like the look of the 2x12 that they do. Was it relatively easy to wire up/paint/grille etc?

Agreed! Used Jack a few times in the past few years and always been super pleased with the results. I was there a couple of weeks back and met Kieran too. Great service and prices.

Also, I'd leave the headstock blank, but I quite like blank headstocks. I know they're not for everyone though.

That looks hot. Great work and good to hear the necks are decent quality. Can't beat a seafoam jazz

Thanks. Nope it's rosewood. Nice and dark and nice figuring on the maple too.

Hi Andy, Sorry for the delay, only just seen this. Might be a few weeks before I attempt this. The neck, along with the body, are going to the tech on Tuesday as there's a gap and I'm getting a veneer put in there so it's all tight. Once I get it back I'll start work. I've put a few pics on to show you the current state of it. Not a fan of tinted necks, so it'll just be clear nitro going on once it's been stripped. Cheers [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/DSC_0294_zpsb8caa076.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/DSC_0294_zpsb8caa076.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/DSC_0291_zpsb23f70e8.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/DSC_0291_zpsb23f70e8.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Sea Foam Green Jazz Bass? Matching Headstock?

Thanks Roland, appreciate it.

bump - anyone?

Hi all, I've got a jazz neck with a horrible orange David Dickinson poly gloss which I'm wanting to remove. As well as the looks, it feels pretty sticky and I much prefer satin finishes. What's the best way to do this? I'm thinking sanding with about 320 first to get to bare wood, then 1000+ to smooth? The neck has binding which has poly on-would I be ok sabding this too? Rosewood board so don't need to deal with frets etc. Cheers in advance Chris

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1406964220' post='2516210'] I was looking for exactly the same thing for my build last month, and nearly pulled the trigger on one of these on their eBay listing - they seem not to be listing at the moment. Looked excellent, other than non-authentically having a separate board. Worked out around £100 incl shipping, so comparable to Mighty Mite (who only do dot markers?) If you could live with rosewood these look good value: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-Fret-Jazz-J-Bass-Guitar-Neck-Vintage-Maple-Rosewood-with-Skunk-Stripe-/261511242840?pt=UK_Collectables_Vintage_RL&hash=item3ce348e458"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3ce348e458[/url] I ended up shelling out a fair bit more for a genuine '78 Fender neck from the States in maple / pearl blocks - still worked out cheaper than a new '75 RI neck from Stratosphere (going on a AVRI '75 body) [/quote] They come and go on ebay, but they have an actual web-shop too. http://www.customworldguitarparts.com/default/gitaar-halzen/jazz-bass-maple-neck-20-frets-pearl-block-inlay-with-binding.html The shop seems slightly cheaper than ebay too

Of course, when I say i've never seen one, I mean in the flesh!

Custom world guitar parts do one. Theyre in the Netherlands. Never seen one, but pictures look good

Hi all, Just listening to the latest album from these guys and theres some great distortion and fuzz tones on the bass. Pics show they have Ampegs and Oranges for amps but can't see any pics of pedals. Anyone help out? Cheers

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1406464977' post='2511640'] I've seen those necks on eBay, been thinking about getting one for a while. How is it? Do you think the neck not fitting is down to the neck heel not being wide enough or the routing of the neck pocket being too large? [/quote] Hi Jono, I've packed things away whilst I wait for other bits to arrive, but I measured the body when I first got it and pocket width was 64mm which is standard. So maybe the neck is slighty off. When I got it the guy said it's not the best neck in the world, but not the worst! Not sure what he means by that, but it looks a cracker to me. Maybe slightly too orange on the maple for my liking, so thinking of knocking the finish back and maybe going with a clear satin nitro. Something to think about anyway... Binding, rosewood and the frets are all in great condition though. As I picked it up myself, and paid outside of eBay, the guy let me have it for £80 which was real cool of him. discreet - haha, afraid I'm not much for trans colours, but appreciate your comment. Just thinking aloud now, but wondering whether to go pickguard-less with this. There's something I really like about Jazzes without guards. I guess it'll throw the whole 60's vibe off, but whatever.
