I’d say that’s not ply , but they have laminated the timber to get the width for the headstock, if it was ply you would see the lines on the curve of the neck .

For me it’s not about the tone, I find it much less effort fretting my basses compared with my friends jazz which is about 3.5mm at the 12th ,it’s just hard work, and I can’t hear any difference in the tone between them.

If I played hard I probably would , but I only use flats and have a light touch so it’s minimal string noise ,and so much easier for me to play than a high action 🙂

All my jazzes are between 1and 1.5mm at the 12th E unfretted with no buzz , which is perfect for me as I play with a fairly light touch, and my Sandberg is 1mm and it will go lower

What a great project, I like that, I’m looking forward to seeing what you do Maude

Hi Brian, WDmusic have various jazz necks with a 12” radius, https://www.wdmusic.co.uk/necks-c60/bass-necks-c61/wd-music-jazz-bass-neck-with-ebony-fingerboard-satin-finish-p247

Yeah, loving that mike ☝️

It’s Matumbi morning I the RB house

All time classic Bruno ☝️

A nice tune here from the Gladiators from around 1976, which I’m not 100% sure but I believe Clinton fearon played bass on , sweet Bassline, And here’s Clinton playing one of my favourite tunes,

Cheers Ricky, I’ll have a listen ☝️

Is that the one by rose royce?

No problem 👍

It’s an 1800w gun from B&Q , I can’t remember what make , its in my workshop, I can let you know Monday if you want.

I’m a big limelight fan and that’s a great bass , and although the bridge has been reliced I would still want it to function, the threaded saddles look ok to me, and the screws are easily replaceable if you can get them out, if not I’m sure the guys at limelight will send you a replacement 🙂

Did you see his other items, there’s a stomp box to go with it 😁

Some good Nuggets of information there 😁

Hi gary, click account in your drop down list, this will open up the my attachments option

I’ve had a flea jazz, my 62Rl and my custom shell pink jazz and they all work fine for me 🙂

Yeah definitely Paul, I also got John to rewire my stack knob controls for my jazz with screw terminals , while I was trying out different pickups, it’s so easy now.

You will have great fun stripping down a P bass and upgrading it , I’ve done it and it was a really good learning curve, I used google and YouTube mainly, I had upgraded a few jazzes but really enjoyed the P, my only suggestion would be to buy a fender, that way it makes it easier to source the parts. This is my one I’ve nearly finished, it’s a 22 year old body, my favourite old jazz neck, tonerider pickups , vintage bridge, and a kiogon loom , I love it . I’m sure @Cuzzie can offer some good advice, he’s more experienced than myself and he has done some nice builds 🙂

I think you’ll be fine Paul, being a newbie to eBay he probably just tried to avoid paying the fees
