Hi all.
 
	 
 
	I have a Encore P Bass (from sometime around 2004). It has high sentimental value and I want to make it playable again.
 
	 
 
	It was stored by a friend of mine for a few years and sadly the metal parts including Truss rod have rusted.
 
	 
 
	So I need to replace the neck however it seems to have a heel of around 60mm.
 
	 
 
	So looking for any advice around this, is it worth buying official fender and sanding the body?
 
	 
 
	Should I buy a squier/Harley Benton and take neck from that and fit it?
 
	 
 
	I know financially it doesn't make sense but doing it anyway!
