0175westwood29 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Final got the neck in to finish this bass, it’s a standard burst squier vm jazz, but I fitted a Avedissian T bird pickup in the bridge, even added some black pickguard screws! And the standard for me upgrade to a high mass bridge. obviously the main change is the aluminium neck from Baguley, custom spec’d to have reverse headstock and block inlays!!

LowB_FTW Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Well now. That neck with reversed headstock. *appreciative whistle* Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 So how does the neck affect the tone? What's the difference in neck weight, balance? Would of been cool to get some before and after comparisons. Aesthetically I like it. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetically I like it. 👍 think I’ve got a few pics from when I first got the bass, weight wise the neck is about 4lbs I think not measured just going of what they say, atm it neck dives I’ve got some weights I’m gonna add to the lower horn to help that, bass is def a heavy one hour easily talking 11lbs I guess the tone is much brighter, more top, sounds killer particularly with the bigger tbird pickup in the bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lidl e Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I really love it. What was your thought behind getting that neck? Trying something new? Sustain? Just because it's cool (which is enough of a justification to me!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
