lastanthem88 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ok so after deliberating a while I've just bought from 'Stratophere' in America a black 50s P bass lacquer body, and a road worn jazz rosewood neck. At the moment I gig with my fiesta red road worn P bass with J bass neck, perfect for me; so I wanted another one like this, and the thought of having a nitro lacquer type that would ware nicely over time appealed to me, so I went ahead. Just wondering if anyone has already got a P bass 50s lacquer, and what they think about it - and has anyone got any experience buying from Stratosphere?

NancyJohnson Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've bought a couple of things from that place, most recently a Mustang bass neck. No issues, smooth transaction etc. Needs must, as they say. Gotta say though, while I understand why they're doing what they do, it does leave a particularly bad taste in my mouth when they start selling off stuff that is going to cost a small fortune to resurrect, things like the Gibson set neck stuff.

lastanthem88 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 For sure, but as you say, needs must... If I play a P bass neck for longer than fifteen mins my hand is in bits, yet no problems at all with a jazz neck, yet \i much prefer a P bass body etc! Nightmare. How long did it take them to get you the goods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Honestly couldn't tell you how long it took for the neck to arrive...it was a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Bought various 6 string Fender USA bits from them (when prices were sane). Reliable and good quality at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've bought from Stratosphere a few times over the years. They aren't the cheapest but you will get what you want. Coincidentally I had a Jazz with a P-bass neck because I prefer a wider neck. My current P-bass is a 50s one but it's a Japanese Fender one so the neck is narrower than the Mexican 50s ones and I don't believe the lacquer is any more or less than any other bass I own.
