Beedster

Back to the studio it is 👍

@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 👍

Most of the punters are scared of it 😆

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 👍
