Replacement Fender type necks

I have had problems with at the neck on a Squire P bass I bought recently,
the truss rod had no adjustment left in it and seemed to be trying to escape from behind the skunk stripe.
I didn't really like the profile either, too skinny in depth and width.
I've been looking for a replacement with more of a chunky feel, similar to my '75 Fender.
Nothing available from the UK, US imports are pricy.

I saw this advertised on eBay:
[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60s-style-L-H-left-hand-JB-bass-guitar-maple-neck-slab-rosewood-fingerboard-/331590653174?hash=item4d3457d4f6"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d3457d4f6[/url]

I have had it fitted now for three weeks and its great!
£75, solid, great profile, comes with Kluson M/heads, a couple of tweaks to the truss rod and away we went.
Obviously, mine is a straight forward rosewood and maple with Dot markers, but they also advertise fully bound and blocked necks for the same price.
Anyone else tried them?

Search on ebay for: lic by fender

Theres a guy sells them on there, I paid him about forty quids for a nice unfinished Jazz neck a few years ago and it was ace.

I think you'll find they're about 100 now. But still good value, I'll give you that.

Well, there you are....
having searched and enquired on BC to no avail,
no necks and then 3 come along at the same time! :rolleyes:
Mine is lacquered, kinda lightly aged tint, with Klusons but no logo, nor string tree.
I would have preferred a 'Tele' headstock but not a big deal.
