miles'tone Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I posted recent asking about chunky P bass necks, specifically unlined fretless P bass necks. Looks like I'm going to have to get what I want made for me. I've spoken to Jon Shuker who is going to get back to me and Sims Custom who sounded good but very expensive. Any other suggestions? I'd like to weigh up the options before I dive in wallet first! Btw, I'm needing a neck an inch deep front to back - the proverbial baseball bat. I'm having some serious thumb muscle cramps on my fretting hand although my strap height is sensible, both hands and arms in the correct 'at ease' positions (no silly curls or weird angles if that makes sense!) and my technique is mindful. I remember someone on here getting their fingerboard replaced with a fretless one by somebody in Exeter ( not Manson's) I think and they sang their praises no end but I can't find that thread again for the life of me! Any suggestions most appreciated, over to you! Edited July 16, 2016 by miles'tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Warmoth necks tend to be pretty chunky unless you specify the tapered option and the build quality is outstanding I've had 2 and both have been flawless plus they have a huge selection to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will report back once I've given it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Sims, no question, but it depends if you are spending the same sort on money on the rest .. and not skimpming. If you want a great custon neck..and the rest of the bass uses very good parts, you'll probably be spending £1000 on a bitza..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
