    Just a heads up on this neck - I've got someone local coming to take a look tomorrow.

    PM replied to. Sadly, I've had several postal "issues" lately, both sending and receiving parcels 😞

    Awesome! Congratulations sir 😀

    Ooh - hope you can find a suitable replacement neck.

    I must admit, I thought all Fender & Squier neck & pocket dimensions would be fairly standard - but I once compared this to a MIM Fender, and the neck was just a tad too tight for the neck pocket.... of course, a bit of filing / sanding the neck heel would have helped. (I didn't opt for that body though).

    Some pics, to help answer the question....

    I think this neck is from a "Vintage Modified" series bass? But perhaps someone on here will know for sure. I once owned a VM P/J precision, and ended up wishing I'd kept the body, to use with this neck. The VM series really were pretty good quality instruments.

    Squier fretless jazz neck, in really good condition. There is a tiny "ding", barely noticeable on the back of the neck around fret position 10. The fingerboard (Ebanol?) has some very very light surface marking, which you can't feel. Neck is nice & straight, and the truss rod works smoothly. Loaded tuners included - they're in great condition and turn smoothly. Bought with the intention of finding a suitable Squier body - but never got around to using, as I traded a fretless bass instead (Spector). It's such a nice neck, I think it needs to be used. I prefer not to post. Collection from Barry, South Wales, though I sometimes travel about, so a meet may be possible. No trades - I need to thin the collection.

    Oh no! Sad news indeed 😞

    Amazing instruments. And that is an incredible price! Edit: These are now a fiver short of £3k new..... this is an absolute bargain

    Ooh. Lucky you. I'm trying to be good atm - need to thin the herd. This looked really tempting though, I must admit. Lightweight and funky, sparkly purple 😀 Enjoy your new bass.

    Do you know what the actual weight is? Great colour! 😀

    Hello and welcome to BC Geoff, As you don't have any bass gear yet, as others have said - take a look at the marketplace on here. BC members are happy to let you try out a bass. So see if there's anything reasonably priced and close to you. You don't have to spend a fortune to get a decent, usable bass. Buying used here on BC is definitely better than buying blind from the likes of eBay. Most of all, try several basses out, and see what factors feel comfortable for you to play. Also, enjoy BC 😀

    Perhaps place an advert in the wanted section here on BC? Someone might have a decent quality neck they're no longer using... Worth a shot, I'd say.

    So sorry to hear of your health issues @Oldman. Good luck with your sale of kit. Look after yourself. Marc

    Whatever the reason for not logging on to BC - I hope SamIAm is well. I don't know her (but think we have exchanged messages a couple of times). Just hope she's too busy, or is taking some time out.

    For sale (no trades please). Collection from Barry PRICE DROP: NOW £180 This Kala Journeyman ubass is strung with metal roundwound strings, rather than the usual rubber strings. (This is how this model is supplied). Which I prefer. In really good condition, as I've hardly used it. It just came along with me to a few gigs, as an unused backup. Really like this bass, but I bought an extra short scale Jabba bass, and I'm not using this Kala at all now. Comes with a case, which isn't a hard case - but more padded / protective than many gigbags. No trades please as I need to thin the collection. I'd prefer collection or a meet-up but if you want, you can arrange a courier.

    Really lovely colour on this bass. That red tort plate is just the perfect colour combo too IMHO. If I needed a reasonably priced 34" scale P bass, I'd be considering this - especially as its pretty lightweight too. Moreover, sorry to hear of your arthritic issues. I'm playing short scales more these days - mainly to ease weight on my left shoulder, plus to head off any potential finger joint problems. So I hope you find a similar solution - so you can keep on playing. GLWYS

    Nadolig Llawen from Wales everyone. Have a great festive season. Last night's gig was the last one of 2024 for me.... and relax....yay 😀

  22. Marc S
    Oh wow! I have never seen one of those before. That's got to be a pretty rare beast. GLWTS

    Sorry I missed your 10th anniversary on BC, and by a couple of weeks too.... But I just had to say "hi". My last vehicle was also a Mazda Bongo, which I replaced with a Berlingo - well, actually it's the Peugeot iteration (Partner). So happy 10th anniversary, from someone with a coincidence or two thrown in 😀

    Oh Wow. Since I got my Dano Longhorn earlier this year, I have absolutely loved it. With the f-hole and colour of these, I must say I have been tempted (even though I don't need it, and am trying to thin the collection). If I lived closer to you, I just know I'd be popping in to try it.... and am sure I would succumb to temptation. These new ones look so good. I'm sure this won't be around very long. GLWTS
