Got a bass neck you’re welcome to.
Would you like pictures and measurements?

John 

Thanks John. I am happy to take anything at all so photos are not necessary but thanks anyway. If it doesn’t fit on one project it would fit on another one someday. Thanks very much it will be really handy. 
I can’t work due to ill health, I spend my life on morphine, so money is short but if you need help with postage costs I am happy to help out.

Hi

as some of you know I build basses and guitars for donation to schools, clubs and other organisations. Some of you have been really kind and generous in the past with donations and I can’t say enough how grateful I am for that. 
As usual I am after some more stuff and as always I will be happy to get anything however at the moment I am particularly desperate for bass and guitar bodies. If anyone can help with any parts from screws to necks but particularly bodies I would be really grateful. 
 

Thanks

Jon

Late last year my amazing Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of the coronavirus pandemic she had to face much of the treatment alone especially when undergoing chemotherapy as the risk of any kind of infection was a serious issue. She has been incredibly brave.  After 9 months  of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy we are all hoping she is going to make a full recovery, thanks to our amazing National Health Service and its wonderful staff who even during the pandemic gave Mum the best treatment possible, something I will never be able to thank them enough for. 

Much to my loving Wife’s disgust I am planning to have a pink Mohican for a few months, as a 56 year old bloke I think you can all agree it will look stunning to say the least. At least my Grandaughters will like it 🤣🤣🤣 Those of you who know me know my useless body doesn’t allow me to do anything even remotely physical, I barely leave the house if I am honest, so this is the best idea I could come up with  

 I am trying to raise money for cancer research so that hopefully one day all of us will be safe from cancer, a disease that is becoming more survivable by the year in no small part due to the work carried out due to donations to Cancer Research UK  

Any donations are appreciated big or small. I will be growing the Mohican for a while as I have pretty short hair and I’m hoping to dye it around the 15th of November  

Thanks

Noj

Bit too far. But it’s nice down there 🤣

Jon

Where in Somerset are you please?

Jon

Great guy to deal with. Would deal with again anytime

Jon

Really great bloke. Donated a LOT of stuff to me to do up and give away to clubs and schools and other charitable causes. 
 

Jon

Got to say a huge thank you to @alyctes who has just dropped off so much stuff for me to pass on to schools and clubs. 
 

I just can’t say thank you enough

What is the width of the nut on these necks please.

 

It comes in at 42mm. Hope that helps

Is this body for a bass with a 20 or 22 fret neck?  What is the width for the heel?  Thanks!

It’s a standard Fender 63mm heel and you could put a 20 or 21 fret neck on it but I had a 20 fret on it as that is it’s intended use. Hope that helps

It would make a lovely fretted twin to my Fender/Status fretless P... Shame I'm skint!

Me too ☹️☹️☹️
 

Jon

I have just finished this one, it’s mine for a change. It’s an American Ash body with a @KiOgon loom and a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pickup. In time I will probably change the neck but it will do for the moment. 
 

It’s finished in Aged Olympic White nitrocellulose and looks pretty good I think. I’m happy anyway

Looks like it's from the current line of Classic Vibe 70s P bass, which are lovely necks!

Yes it is. Sorry I should have said that. It’s a current run Squier Classic vibe 70’s neck

Jon

Squier Classic Vibe 70’s neck

I bought this earlier this year but finances are forcing me to clear out stuff. Gutted to sell this as I was pairing it with a Fender body I am also having to sell and it was lovely. Oh well onwards and upwards. 
 

Theee is a tiny barely noticeable ding on the headstock that I have tried to show in the close up photo but other than that it is fine. The original machine heads are included. 

I am after £150 including postage 

Thanks

Jon

Just send me your address and stick a couple of quid in a charity box for it. I will get it posted as soon as I can, but may be a couple of days as I can’t get out. 
 

Jon

I bought this from @ash earlier this year without any wiring loom. Since then I have bought a top notch loom from @KiOgon with full size pots and quality knobs   I can’t see any dings on it at all apart from what looks like a chip to the finish by the neck pocket which you can see in the photo and you can also see it is obscured by the scratch plate anyway. It has a Fender scratch plate and a Fender bridge and neck plate. 
 

I don’t want to sell it but finances have dictated that I need to  sadly. I’m really gutted as it is a lovely body that weighs in at 2.6kg (5.75lbs) including bridge, loom, scratch plate and neck plate and screws. 
 

I am looking for £260 inc Postage. 
Will now take £220 with the loom or £200 without the loom
 

Jon

Sorry it’s the elephant ear type

Jon

Thanks Pete

Recently bought a set of machine heads that also had a single right handed one as they were from a 5 string bass. If it is any use to anyone just give  me a shout,  by right handed I mean it goes on right hand side of neck  

Jon

If you are looking to donate the proceeds anyway they would be perfect for me. I build basses and give them away to local schools and clubs etc. I would make sure they were used for a great purpose but understand if you want to stick with original plan. 
 

Jon

Great deal. Bought some strings from Loz which arrived safely, Loz had even cleaned them 👍

Feel confident trading with Loz and would do it again in a heartbeat 

Thanks again

Jon

Thanks for all the comments. 
 

Just to say I can’t recommend Guitarandbass enough and the same goes for our own  @KiOgon who is always a huge help with any questions you have.
