KiOgon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) For a guy who's so good at building custom basses you would think he could manage the right screws to hold the thing together - photo 4 ! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-JAZZ-CUSTOM-BUILT-69-BASS-GUITAR-/261057889563?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cc843451b#ht_500wt_950"]http://www.ebay.co.u...1b#ht_500wt_950[/url] Anybody local that could go test it? A gentle tap on the back of the head should do the job (the bass not the builder) although Edited July 2, 2012 by KiOgon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyBiskit Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It look's like he has overcooked the countersinking on the neckplate as well as using the wrong screws-IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 An Allparts blocked neck cost about £380 new. For that you get the rest of the bass as well and a case. You'd have to provide the correct neckplate screws yourself of course. When you think about it it's a pretty good deal but I doubt he's get more than £380 because people don't like bitsa basses.

MB1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 MB1. Looks like the neckplate hasnt yet been fitted? is it not sat on top of the old one? or is it? ....just an illusion?(imagine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Decal pretty wonky too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 [quote name='uke' timestamp='1341263395' post='1716169'] Decal pretty wonky too! [/quote] Handsome guitar though. The decal is fixable. I reckon the neckplate is for show and placed overhead existing one. All in all could be a good buy for someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 looks like a good deal, thats a hours work to sort out when you get it, ill image he will pull it though as he won't get much over his start price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 For an added bonus, it hasn't been reliced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
