The description he gives is very vague, but I reckon it's a Squier VMJ neck with a Fender decal thrown on. I've emailed him a question to this effect, saying I might be interested in buying one (which is true), but could he just confirm that's what it is for me. I've had no response, and was wondering if any VMJ owners want to confirm my suspicions. I am after an inexpensive maple/black blocks neck for a project, but I'd like to know what I'm getting. The price looks like it may go a bit steep for a re-badged Squier neck with no tuners, it's around the £50 mark already. Thoughts, anyone?

The guy makes it perfectly clear it's from a Squire...obviously he's stuck a Fender jazz sticker on it...but he never states that it's from anything other than a Squire, which after all, are made by Fender.

sgt-pluck Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) Whilst I pretty much agree with what the bloke above me said - I personally wouldn't give my cash to anyone who can't be arsed to answer my questions on eBay. Another one will be along soon - I'd wait. Pluck Edited November 14, 2008 by sgt-pluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) The guy has decent feedback and it says it's from a squier more than once... why would that give you (or anybody) the idea that it's from a fender? His feedback isn't bad either... Edited November 14, 2008 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His feedback isn't bad either...[/quote] No need to take a smart-arse attitude, I never gave the slightest indication I thought it was from a Fender. I said pretty clearly I think it's from a VMJ, and I was asking for the opinion of someone who owns one, to confirm that, and maybe for some thoughts on the price of it. I want to know I'm buying what I think it is, and not some knock-off. If I'd had an email back from the seller saying "Yes, that's exactly what it is", this post wouldn't be here, but he hasn't responded to my question. I share Sgt-Pluck's sentiments to be honest, I'm wary of buying from someone who isn't forthcoming with their communication on e-bay, I can hardly walk back to the shop with it if I'm not happy. Cheers for the advice Sarge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) mike is asking if it is a vmj neck or not, why are you accusing him of saying he thinks its being sold as a fender?! fwiw i reckon its exactly what you say, a vmj neck with fender decal. It might be worth a bid if it goes no higher, but much higher and you may as well save a bit more for a geddy neck Edited November 16, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sorry i thought the issue was with the guy saying fender squier or something. i think the VMJ necks are pretty nice anyway, nice to look at, pretty well made and they felt pretty nice in my hands when i've used them.

OldGit Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Blige.. That went for £153 ... You'd get an entire VMJ for just a little more than that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike257 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Yeah, just seen that now.... somebody's been fleeced!! And I never did get an answer from the seller. It might not even be off a Squier, the Fender markings and S/N are mising off the back of the headstock. SX sell necks like this, don't they? Even if it is, £153 is bonkers when there's more than one used VMJ sold on here for £150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
