discreet Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) I've been trawling the Sue Ryder Precision threads (of which there is a plethora) but cannot seem to find the answer to these questions: 1. What is the width of the Sue Ryder Precision Bass neck pocket? 2. What is the distance from the nut to the bridge saddles? In inches, please! I have a Sue Ryder Precision Bass winging its way to me as I type and I will be replacing the neck and modifying the pickguard. This will be a temporary bass which I will use until my spiffy custom P-Bass has been crafted by the world-renowned Sicilian luthier, bon-viveur and mafioso Howard Satelli. In due course both the modified SR and its original (maple) neck will be available for sale. I thank you in advance gentlemen (and ladies - if any), and a very good evening to you.

Raslee Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) I managed to put a Mighty might neck on my old Ryder before trading it on, i guess the neck pocket is similar to the Fender dimensions...just guessing though Edited September 28, 2011 by Rasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame fitting a standard pickgaurd to it isn't as straight forward though! Edited September 28, 2011 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for this... deffo a rose MM. I'm going to fill in the cut out 'R' on the SR pg with Isopon, sand smooth and spray matt gold for that 'anodized' look. Should go well with the trans dark blue of the SR, hopefully something like this: Edited September 28, 2011 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
