Weave looks amazing!

Can't wait, looks great!

I'm happy to do whatever is easier for you/the others

Yes not long now! Still can't believe this happened, thought we'd seen the end of graphite in the UK

They look stunning! Love the decal on the back of the headstock like the old Status ones!

Also headless I've got the Fender Pure Vintage 64 in a Jazz bass I built and they are my favourite pickups ever. Also worth saying that is an absolutely stunning piece of Walnut!

Ding, ding ding! I've got a Fender version of the Badass bridge, Hipshot ultralights, an OBP-1 and the pickup from the Fender Active Flea already. Will basically be a Fender Flea Active with a graphite neck. Will be interesting to see what the difference is compared to the wooden ones. I don't want to go down the tonewood(or tone-composite) rabbit hole but I have a wooden necked stingray and a graphite necked stingray and IMO it's chalk and cheese! Apart from clearly superior tuning stability (I've got an Emerald Solid Graphite Weave acoustic that I haven't had to tune at all in years) I do think graphite necks clearly change the sound. Would be really interesting in doing a blind A/B and seeing if I could call them correctly.

I've got a roasted swamp ash body with the graphite necks name on it. Single humbucker route in the music man sweet spot. Any guesses what I'm making?

Looks amazing, great piece of work!

If the JB4 neck turns out nice you may get a decent amount of repeat business just from me!

Can't wait!

I'll also post my other project when that's done. I'm building what I hope is a superior version of the darkray with mostly real musicman parts but that one has a graphite neck as well. It seems to be incredibly difficult to do pots with light up led rings around them? Never would have guessed that would be the stumbling point so far
