Just bought cheapest bass I've ever bought from Will. Worth 1/3 the asking price for the strings alone. I can feel an uber cheap Tele Neck/Precision project coming on. Pleasure to deal with, only emailed last night. All hail the flatwound

Neck mounting without plate, guidance please
AgentCooper replied to AgentCooper's topic in Repairs and Technical
Plate size would be standard Fender 4 bolt, I'll post a pic as suggested if can get PC to fire up. -
I've recently purchased a lovely old Jazz which has body profiled at neck joint so a standard neck plate cannot be used. As such screws are set deep into body (and subsequently neck). Few ideas: Leave well alone, if it ain't broke don't fix it £0 Tidy up the body with use of countersunk Ferrules .....then and only if required fit inserts (Ebay "WBS Guitar/Bass Neck Joint system" is all I've seen so far) to allow neck to be anchored without fear and also transplant to another body. Other approach I have access is luthier to rebuild to standard body shape with a glued Alder block allowing neck plate to be reinstated. (this will definitely require thought to get neck anchored properly) and a refinish. Thoughts on a postcard? Ta, David

Nah, never got on with ashtrays on the Relic. Can't see the profile of the Bridge being any higher though. [quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1368836' date='Sep 10 2011, 07:44 PM']Just wondering mate, have you ever tried fitting a bridge cover to this and if so, did it fit over the high mass bridge? bump on a gorgeous bass too![/quote] -

[b]As new !

Bought via Bluesman on here earlier and really is immaculate. All the normal scratch and ding points are simply not there. Only marking I've found is on the scratchplate where it belongs (and I've had new basses from shops with more). Don't need to say anything about these, neck is absolutely lovely (from all angles) with proper thin fretwires and low action. I had a relic Jazz that this mimic's and apart from being a bit bright with modern pickup windings it's a good effort. Tone could get there with a bit of thought. Now on new Flatwounds for proper feel and tone, complete with Fender Branded Chinese hardcase. I [b]would [/b]sell [b](£200)[/b] but in first instance looking for a nice Fretless Jazz or possibly consider a genuine US Jazz Fretless neck (4 bolt) and/or other quality parts. Don't want anything that's abused by Roundwounds though. We'll see where we get to in next few days. Have to be something very nice for me to consider adding any cash (which I don't have !!) Ta muchly for looking Agent Cooper

[quote name='badboy1984' post='1203676' date='Apr 18 2011, 03:11 PM']Is this active or passive?[/quote] OLP's are passive but stil very capable of giving bulk of the 'Ray Tone. Have a BTTT on me Janmaat. My 4 string OLP now resides in Canada with a friend as couldn't truly part with it. One of best neck's I've played at any price.
