gjones Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I just bought a maple Mighty Mite neck off Ebay for £99 new and it looks great. I haven't yet fitted it yet as I need to drill some holes for the tuners etc but so far I'm VERY impressed. It's lovely and shallow and very well made. I recently bought an allparts neck for £200 which was good quality but 'chunky' and spent £300 on a actual Fender neck from a 2011 60s Classic Jazz but this neck looks like the best of the bunch. Yes, so far I'm very happy. I'll update this post once I fit but I've a feeling it will play like a dream (like the neck on my old Geddy Lee which I loved).

henry norton Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You can't argue with 99 notes, is it new or used??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Don't forget to drill the 4 holes for the neck / body joint with a fixed perpendicular top mounted drill, as you don't want those holes to go in at the wrong angle. Also my advise to you is to fit a proper bone nut instead of that plastic one that lets it down. I had a very wonderful Mighty Mite neck too and it was the most resonant neck I had ever had. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's new. And has a cheeky Fender decal put on it by the seller. I saw these a while ago but assumed they must be naff and built down to a price (and probably built like a bassball bat) but after being quoted £400 for a secondhand Geddy Lee neck took a punt and was surprised at it's excellent great build quality. Of course since I haven't actually fitted it yet the final verdict will have to wait but having bought quite a few necks in my time I think I know a good un when I see one.

gjones Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just fitted the neck to my Jazz and it fits like a glove and plays great. TOTAL BARGAIN!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've had two from him (if you're on about Bluebass) and they are a bargain, fitted the first one onto a Squier Precision special and it was a dream to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yep, I've had a couple: the one on the Fenderbird (see left) is a MM P, and it's really, really good. The J I bought after that needed a fret dress and a bit of TLC but it's now also fantastic. A great buy - the only other neck I'd consider would be a Warmoth, but they're in a whole other price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
