[quote name='Shaggy' post='85819' date='Nov 9 2007, 10:30 AM']Not especially interested in the bass (cracker though it is), but if you’re into custom building, I have the neck and hardware off a 1968 Kalamazoo (Gibson’s budget brand at the time, but US-made), basically a copy of a Fender Mustang, with short-scale Fender style neck in maple/rosewood, and the hardware straight off a Gibson EB-3. In good nick, but minus big neck pick-up (stuck on a Jazz bass in the early ‘80’s!). Only mention it as short-scale necks are hard to come by, and this has a bit of history and mojo at least.[/quote]
Hi Shaggy
Im not into building another bass but I remember the Kalamazoo, If I remember correctly it had a SG style body and an unusual neck similar to a telecaster.
Incidently I still have a Gibson "Mudbucker" big humbucking pickup I removed from my EB2 back in the 70s (when I replaced it with a DiMarzio Model 1 )kicking about somewhere, might be worthwhile digging it out and putting on Ebay.
