    I've just bought a set from Amazon, £33. Lots of places wanting up to £40.

    Thanks guys...I might check US shops too and see if it's worth ordering from them a few sets :)

    I wouldn't bother. It could pick up worse in the process.
    I'd count that as its first ding and relax!

    Yes, I might leave it, I'm not to bothered about it.

    I think it depends on the paint used but fair enough, I've played "sticky" feeling necks and know what you mean but my shuker neck is really easy to play :)

    As is my Spector neck. Very smooth indeed.

    I agree but no painted necks for me :)

    Please tell me that the back of the neck is painted white too! Then it would be damn near perfection :)
    [/quote]

    No, no paint on the back of the neck... to be honest had a Fernandes bass with the neck also painted and I didn't like the feel.

    Nice! Is that a mark on the F of Fender though?

    It's merely the Fender mojo process at work.
    [/quote]

    You are both right!
    Tiny little mark on the F of the Fender logo...you know, the relicing process has started! :D
    Fender have offer to replace the logo any time I want, easy job as the decal sits on top if the paint... but for now, I'm not too bothered about it, I have been playing non stop...in a few weeks I might send it off to them to have it replaced.

    Thanks people!
    I'm very happy with the bass, the pics don't show how truly beautiful it is.

    This bass has everything I have ever wanted on a bass, from the colour combination and finishes to the awesome super comfortable and easy to play neck.
    It balances perfectly when strapped and it's not too heavy.
    It plays amazingly well, low action and no fretbuzz anywhere. Sounds really, really well to my ears.

    It's finally here, my new Fender Custom Shop has arrived!

    Fender Jazz Bass in Olimpic White with Matching Headstock, made to my specs.
    It started as their '64 Custom Shop model but I went with white binding and a thinner jazz neck profile, similar to the Geddy Lee neck. Other than that it has all the vintage specs for that model.

    The bass I have to say it's beautiful, fit and finish are of top quality, plays excellently well and sounds even better!

    ..and it comes with a nice leather strap, a good cable, polish cloth, paperwork and the great Cruz Tools tool set.

    Excellent service from Thomann always too...and I've used them quite a few times!

    Even when returning a bass I bought, which was really nice but I found a nicer one here on Basschat two days later, I rang them to have it returned and they arranged everything for me and didn't cost me a penny, no question asked.
