We play every week almost, but once a year play the Black Country's answer to Wembley Stadium. I expect to see everyone as its for charity. Scroll down to Sat 10th January, The Busby Babes (no football link intended) The first 10 members of Basschat to approach me win a glass of Aspispamonte and a torch.

[quote name='bumnote' post='345353' date='Dec 4 2008, 01:22 PM']what are you doing with the p neck?[/quote] Don't have a P neck. Basically I bought a body only and Im adding from there. That why I having been asking anal questions for the last week or so.

cheers.

Is it neck on body (wood to wood) and then the 4 screws and plate. No other washers, bolts, pins etc... If have never done this before and I dont really want to take of a neck of one of my jazz's just to satisfy my curiosity. Im fitting a jazz neck to a p body if anyone has anything else to add. cheers.

cheers fellas, ...... but what about wizards?

[quote name='KevB' post='344043' date='Dec 3 2008, 01:23 PM']I have no experience of the pickups but just thought I'd jump on the west bromich bandwagon and mention I've played a gig at The Stone Cross. In fact we are booked in to play again next year, if we have a band together that can cover it![/quote] That pub is practically my local, not that I ever go in it though. We try not to play in West Brom at any cost and have been reasonably successful in recent years.

[quote name='Machines' post='344037' date='Dec 3 2008, 01:17 PM']If you don't think you can do it yourself then the best bet would be to get it down to Trevor at PMT Birmingham. He rewired my Dad's Hohner Precision for £15. Probably take cost more for yours if pots etc needed but give him a ring and see: 0121 359 5056.[/quote] Yes Trev is a good bloke! Thought I might try and do one on my own. He is definately plan B though!

Mr Machines, sorry, I told you I was from West Brom. I just have the P body at the moment. It is a new build. I'm playing at the Village hotel on Saturday in Walsall if you fancy some Black Country fun

Thoughts please. I like the idea they are a British company as well. I am stupid and would require all the pots and jack. Could some one please advise me if a Fender P wiring kit [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=130271270541"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130271270541[/url] would supply everything else needed, or whether I shoild be looking for something else. I have never done anything like this before and Im from West Bromwich. Cheers.

it should comeout the other end?

Hi Si. Did warmoth do your sanding?

Thanks for the heads up. I really want skinny. Allparts say they can shave a neck to my spec, but then the warranty is lost. Looks like the 62RI is the spec for me, but they dont come with the blocks ... There is a walnut neck on ebay at the moment. Any thoughts ... cheers.

These necks look stunning. I am interested in a J neck. All the necks at warmoth are listed as standard thin. Could anyone advise as to whether these necks are just standard jazz C. I really want a G Lee or Marcus type or a 62RI. I think all of these necks are the 7.25 rad. I just wondered how a warmoth compares to the skinny stuff. I have looked at a lot of spec, but to be honest I am non the wiser. Wondered if anyone had any experience of them. cheers.

some lovely parts there ...

Great advice. I like the lightweight ideas. cheers.

I have this hunch / vision / gas / stupidity !!! to fit a skinny J neck to a P body. I have never done anything like this before. I am in no rush but would like to have a go perhaps after Xmas? These things may be cheaper and more readily available? I do find some of the warmouth necks very very sexy. I suppose a start could be to mod my standard jazz with one of these necks. It could always be used later on in another project? If anyone on the off cnance has a Geddy, Marcus, or '74 Reissue neck they want to get rid of let me know. I imagine I would use my original Fender tuners rather than leave an unused neck "loaded"

Very usefull reply Simon, cheers. How did you find your mighty mite? I see allparts and warmouth about too. The warmouth stuff just looked in another league, although I have no experience of any. Are they all US imports? Would my standard Fender tuners fit all three. cheers.

Hello all, I have some knowledge and have done some research but still unsure about a few things. In a nutshell I love the skinny '70's fender necks (as on my Marcus sig). I have a '97 standard jazz and have thought about picking up a similar neck for her. There look to be some crackers on warmouth, although pricey. Obviously I know there are 3 bolts and 4 bolts. I am a bit confused about the radius of the neck. My marcus is 7 1/4" and standard 10". I have no clue how these measurements are made but obviously my marcus is skinnier. Would the Marcus be the same as a Geddy or '75 reissue neck? Can these Jazz necks be bolted onto precision bodies without any major hassle???? Would my standard tuners fit any lic Fender necks. cheers. mr f.

I heard bits of various VH solo's (I think from memory) People can slate him but I thought it was incredible and really enjoyed it. I'd say he is a great classical guitar player too.
