Beedster

@Linus27 I've not played this combination before, but it works really rather well. It's hard to say whether it's the board, the neck, the action, or just the way it's working as a mechanical system but the first thing I noticed was that compared to the maple boarded neck on the same body, it brings a really quite beguiling compression to the note (I'm playing unplugged BTW), and I'm quite enjoying it 👍

As requested Sir 👍 Neck fit is sublime

Body now sold I'm afraid @Byo

Warmoth roasted swamp ash body sold 👍

Gotta go do some work again now 👍

👍🙏

This works very well, pics don't do it justice

More from the configurator

If so I'm rehearsing it tonight with the maple FL neck - which is why I've not taken that one apart - so will sort some pics tomorrow 👍

Ebony FL Precision neck on Jazz body?

Quick note that within a mm or so these necks and bodies all fit and are correct depths/lengths

Bodies...... Top three, no idea, generic swamp ash although nice (top left is heavy). Prices Body 1 (£200) Body 2 (£100) SOLD Body 3 (£300). Bottom three Warmoth (£225), Mighty Mite (£100), 70's Daion (£250). If I were to make a recommendation Body number 4 with neck number 1 (lovely lightweight dark wood Precision Body number 5 with neck number two (stealth fretless Precision) Body number 6 with neck number 3 (monster Entwistle-sque Precision) Body number 3 with neck number 5 (fretted Mighty Mite jazz width although logog says Precision) or with neck on it, no name Maple fretless. I'll photo the above combinations ASAP, apologies this is a bit chaotic but two quite expensive things I've been after for a while, one bass-related and one not (🤔) have come up out of the blue 👍

I think it's going to break some hearts Steve.....

Necks..... Left to right Warmoth £300 SOLD, Warmoth (£200) SOLD, Warmoth (£325), Shuker (£300), Mighty Mite (175), Northwest (£100). I'm juggling work and and this, will add details re the necks - wood, dimensions, condition - when I get a bit more time 👍

So, what I'm going to produce later today is the Beedster Analogue Configurator. While the title suggests a retro pedal, it will in fact be a collection of photographs of various combinations of necks, bodies, pickguards etc. Those with low impulse control/easily parted with their cash, should avoid this thread for around 7-days 👍

Thanks Pete, frankly much as I'd love to keep it, I have a new Mesa incoming so the Drophead will remain for sale. Until I sober up

The dark neck, also Warmoth, is also perfect on the swamp ash body, visually even more so, I'll do some shots of that later also Steve. To be honest the maple fretted nack really belongs on a lovely 70s 3TSB on which it does a very very nice Entwistle-esque tone 👍

Second..... nitro finished swamp ash Jazz body with FL Precision neck (brand unknown, was sold to me as Allparts many moons ago, then went to another BCer - @oldslapper IIRC - before finding its way back to me, a not uncommon take), PUPs are SD SJB1s, again I've kept them together because they work together, but happy to split: Bass £450, loaded body £325, neck £175 NECK SOLD

EDIT: I've deleted all the early photos of items that have sold, please check from page 4 onwards for what's left 👍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As per the bitsa thread, too many unfinished basses, not enough time, so here goes (I'll be adding stuff over the next day or two, if you want more photos of anything please ask). I'm pretty much emptying this box....... First up, Warmoth roasted swamp ash body with lightly oiled finish, plus very high spec Warmoth Precision neck (you can see the stunning flame in the abve photo, third bass from the left). I've kept them together because they work and fit extremely well plus both are very lightweight to the point that I would strongly suggest a set of lightweight tuners on this bass when built. All that's required are PUP and circuit. This will build into a stunning instrument. £500 for the neck and body or neck £325 and body £225
