[numptydumpty]

I have found a possible neck donor for my P project but it is blocked and bound .Has anyone seen this done before?

Yep, Lakland do the same thing! Looks pretty nifty!

[numptydumpty]

Thats cool!

They do look great - even with Wayne's migraine-triggering scratchplate. I have one such project in the works, I'd say "wait 'til you see mine" but we'll probably all die of old age first.

I just love blocks and inlays.

All looks good to me & it's in keeping with the rule that there are no rules

LOl, no . That always gets asked. I took this at a wedding gig we did a couple of years ago.
The wedding photographer lent me his very expensive lens to play with so i thought i had better make use of it.

Duh, the correct answer was "don't be daft, that's just our little weekend place"...

Actually its just the servants quarters, the rest of our house was too big to get in shot.

It's such a great look, def on my 'things to do one day' list.

Actually project back on hold.The shop wants £100 for the Kasuga with hacked-up body I saw,not spending that much!.Anyone got a jazz neck with a narrow and deep heel?

[bh2]

Why not?

[numptydumpty]

I suppose if it is worth that much and if I could fit it without damaging,I could resell it later and not lose anything.I hear Kasuga was a respected brand on a par with Tokai?

They were. Kasuga actually built replica-standard guitars for Tokai, when Tokai's own factory couldn't meet demand. For my money the ones I've seen (and I own a Kasuga Rick copy) are built to as high a standard as Matsumokus & Fujigens of the era, & if anything, attention to detail's better.

How hacked-up is the £100 Jazz?

[numptydumpty]

Main issue with the body is that someone has removed neck pickup and fitted some anonymous jazz pickup and lost the pickguard.But might the neck be worth the money?

If it's not actually damaged & it just has missing/changed parts, £100 doesn't sound too bad - obviously I'd have to see it to be doing anything other than guessing, but from what you describe, I think it'd fetch more than a ton on Ebay.

If you do go for it - don't change the headstock logo - that will immediately destroy a big part of its resale value.

Hi all,

I'm currently suffering a GAS attack for a P-bass, but having been a Jazz player for many years, would like to get one with the thinner neck. I was looking at something like a 70s re-issue (Japanese) or a 2nd Hand Duck Dunn Skyline - I'm just not at all keen on the CAR colour! However, having seen the block inlay & binding necks the Skylines have, I really want one. Does anyone know of a neck supplier who does a rosewood board with block inlays and binding? I'm beginning to feel a project build coming on.

Ive just posted in another thread but im pretty sure you can by a Lakland neck direct form Lakland. No idea of the cost but i know of a couple of people that have done this.
