amewse Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Just wondered if anyone knows any background about these necks? Seem to be well priced if ok: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BASS-NECK-ROSEWOOD-JAZZ-PRECISION-STYLE-BASSES-/120813760576?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1c210fb040#ht_720wt_1165 I am considering a Jazz special and these have a nice vintage look, don't know if they are any good though.

skej21 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 From a quick glance it looked ok to me, but there was something odd about it. Then it hit me, it doesn't have a pearl block inlay at fret one! Quite a glaring mistake once you notice it, as EVERY bass I've seen with block inlays has an inlay at fret one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amewse Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I didn't notice until you pointed it out, bit of an oversight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidVicious1978 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 plus the allparts are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Allparts current price of £380 for a rosewood neck with pearl block inlays, it definitely is NOT cheaper! http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/bodies-necks/necks/bass-necks/replacement-neck-for-j-bass-rosewood-board-w-finish-w-binding-block-inlays-p-1978.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I was considering getting one for a P bass project. I missed out on the last one he had. I've had some corespondance with the seller and he seems ok. I hadn't noticed the lack of first fret marker, but don't think it would put me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Allparts necks are the dog's spuds though, and are second only to Fender. In fact they can be superior in some cases, in my humble opinion.

I ended up putting it on ebay and it went for next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
