  1. I'm looking for a 4 string neck for a project, ideally 40mm width with a deep U profile. 

    Tried a trad P neck (42mm, modern C), but not what I'm looking for.

    I had a Wishbass that in my memory was ideal, very deep profile.

    The project is a 51P bitsa, with a Tele style headstock  (which I'm happy to reshape from 'normal')

    The short version of my question is this: is there a 4 inline neck with 40mm nut and deep U profile available anywhere?

     

    Thanking you....

    Well, it has arrived.  Pics soon (I'm supposed to be working...).  First impressions favourable/good/great.  More details soon.

    Where's the NBD thread, then? I've been waiting HOURS for some vicarious pleasure.

     

    Think of your civic duty, man...

    Late to the party I know. 

     

    Bought one a few weeks ago. The pickup is utterly pants, as it's a cheapo six pole guitar pickup. 

     

    Tuners and bridge are fine, although the bridge saddles can skate around on the baseplate. Be sure to give them a nudge if your strings feel off-centre.

     

    I did some fettling on mine... Warman Twin Loco pickups, vvt controls, side mount jack, stripped and oiled the neck. Oh, and I disintegrated the nut with a polishing mop. 🙄... Jazz nut from Tusq fits but it needed a little shim to bring it up to height. It's now my number 1 bass! 😎

    The neck looks really good- how did you achieve this, may I ask?

     

  4. I would put in a vote for TI rounds here (JR344). As flexible and supple as the flats, smooth to the touch like the flats (don't know how they do that with rounds), but with all the growl you could wish for.

    Sliding harmonics are a doddle.

    Some chorus and reverb (not too much) and a slight boost to the mids = Harmonic Heaven.
