So the fingerboard is 7.25” or 9.5”?

 

also, the truss rod is a bullet type (“pre-EB”)?

[Kiwi]

Sorry for the late reply Mat, it's 7.25" but if that changes for any reason, I'll post it on here.  9.5" is a typical Fender radius.

Why does a graphite neck need a truss rod please? I thought it would be rigid enough without one, like the  pre EB Musicman Cutlass 1 basses?

If you have ever owned a MM Cutlass bass, you will understand intimately why graphite necks can benefit from truss rods.  There is also the matter of player set up preferences.  Some players like a bit of fight in their instruments and a rounder tone, all of which can be provided by higher action.

@Kiwi, as you know I am keen for one of these and would quite like the mop inlays too. Are you looking for deposits? If so can you fire me your details - thanks buddy.

OK, PMd

@Kiwi What's the headstock shape, standard MM style? 

 

Also curious as to whether the neck length, size of the heel, etc would be compatible with a Sire Z3...

Yes it's a standard MM shape.   If you have measurements from the neck heel of your Sire, I can let you know about fit.

 

Thanks to @Raslee for securg the first slot.

I don’t have a Z3 (yet) - was thinking of picking one up as a modding project, specifically to put one of these necks on!

It's a great idea, I'm not personally keen on the lower horn shape but they do sound fantastic.  If you can get hold of some measurements for me, I'll definitely be able to provide you with an answer.
