Hi, Well I thought I would share this Custom Bass I hade made for a 50th Birthday present to myself. It started life as a Moosehead Beer crate from 1963. The crate joints had to be soaked in vinegar to try and break down the glue to separate the corner joints as they had to be kept intact as the side panels were too small to make a full size bass.. The neck is from a 1979 Fender jazz bass, Geddy Lee pickups and fender relic machine heads The faceplates,bridge etc. were new fender items so I did some patina on them just to give them an old look. The Moosehead facing was then placed on a custom made mahogany body and assembled by Gerry in Haze Guitars here in Ireland. The workmanship and attention to detail carried out by Gerry was fantastic. It was an idea I got from Grove Guitars in America ,who use loads of old crates to face their bass's with and I think it turned out very well. Might not be to everyone's liking but I am chuffed with it.

Hi, Its actually Stratosphere in the states that have the parts. I have dealt with them before and always found them good to deal with so I am sort of surprised they are not willing to check the fitment for me.

Hi all, Does anyone know if a 2020 Geddy Lee, Made in Mexico Jazz Bass neck will fit on a 2020 Mexico Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass? I love the Geddy necks as they are so slim and I have an Crafted in Japan and a USA made Geddy. Now I am looking if I can fit one of these necks on to a Deluxe body, with or without modifications or is it a straight fit and kind of have a semi custom bass. The company that have both of these parts say the are wrapped in storage awaiting to be shipped and are unable to see if they are compatible for me.... Any help with I would be most grateful. Rochie.
