Fil1ip Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi Has anybody but a reverse/upside neck/headstock on their bass? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yep. Proud owner of a Squier PJ bass with a left handed, Mexican Jazz bass neck. It's my go-to bass. No issues with tuning stability, intonation blah blah. It's a great sounding instrument and a bit of a head turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Here’s my upside down bitsa. The body is an Indonesian Squier PJ, the neck is off a Mexican Jazz, the J pup is an Entwistle, the P pup is an American Fender. It’s got a Schaller bridge, Gotoh tuners and a Kiogon wiring loom and selector switch. It’s been my main bass for the last three years and has never let me down. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it together and loved it so much, I wanted to play it straight away, so I just widened the two narrowest slots, so they could accommodate the E and A strings. My intention was always to get a new nut, but so far, that hasn’t happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 My Precision bodied, Jazz necked Stingray (eh?) will be reverse headstock, but it's not finished yet. I just tapped out the nut gently and fitted it back in the other way around, a little filing to get the bottom of the slots sloping the right way and it's fine. In this thread if your interested. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your arm isn’t going over the top of the neck, but coming from underneath. This isn’t based on any scientific testing, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that, I find standard 4 in a line much easier. Thing is , reverse headstock on a Tele or 51 looks very cool so I'll bear the burden of awkward to reach tuners 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
