They build to spec... If what you want matches the specs of the J and P neck they use! I asked about a 50s/60s P neck and they couldn't do it. Things may have changed...

Nah i'm pretty sure it's still the same.
[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1467743582' post='3085854']
They do build to spec per se, but they use necks made by their supplier, they don't make them themselves.
[/quote]
I thought that might be the case.
My Precision was specc'd to have a J neck.
It feels bigger than i expected, so i wanted to see how other J necks measured.

Thanks, that's really helpful.
I was just wondering the neck measurements on your basses.
At the nut and at 12th fret, and i would like to get some measurements for both Jazz and Precisions is possible??
I know, so needy
I play guitar in two bands and bass in one.
But I'd consider myself a bass player.
I had lessons on the bass, so I'm "further along" compared to guitar playing.
Probably go that reason I feel much more at home on bass too

Looks ace. Prince tribute?

Ha! Didn't think of it like that, but Yeh, why not?! Haha
[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1466001123' post='3072741']
That's exactly what I've ordered. I'll be 40 in October and Mark is currently making me a 1976 precision. I'm going to pick it up from him in October though as it's a gift from all my family so I agreed not to have it sooner. It's all paid for and the wait til October is killing me.
Lovely bass FuNkShUi looks brilliant.

Thanks!
Yeh that wait would be tough. I had a 9 week wait and that was bad enough

I would never have gone for that colour scheme...but that looks lovely! Congratulations

Very nice. I like the colour.

Cracking bass, and I don' like P basses.
[/quote]
Thanks.
I must admit i thought the colour combo would be a bit more "marmite".
Seem to have been received quite well though, so i'm pleased
Although possibly there are plenty who don't like it and have been kind enough to not comment
[quote name='howdenspur' timestamp='1465919053' post='3072109']
That colour combo is great - like it a lot! Has also got me thinking about a Limelight again as an affordable YOB-alike.
[/quote]
It's definitely an affordable way to do that!
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465899824' post='3071910']
Well, you can, actually... buy a Limelight bass, sell it, then get massive seller's remorse. Twice.
[/quote]
Well that's happened to me once. It will not happen again. *repeat*

Go for it. Can't go wrong really!
[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1465858663' post='3071717']
I used the Limelight I bought from Discreet [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275912-nbd-limelight-dakota-red-precision-bass-1963-audio"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/275912-nbd-limelight-dakota-red-precision-bass-1963-audio [/url]
at a gig last Saturday night. I dont know what Mark uses for his pickups, but put through my Markbass 121 and the New York ext speaker, It sounded bloody amazing!!
[/quote]
Yeh I have high hopes for it. If it performs anything like my old Limelight I I'll be very happy
[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1465852399' post='3071650']
And to think that bass looked brand new before those dogs got hold of it. Nice!
[/quote]
Maybe a way to start my own relicing service haha!

That is one huge sofa, too.

It's our dogs' sofa.
We have 3 dogs so they need a big sofa

Thanks Rob.
Might re-record this months noodle on it

Wouldn't have thought purple/gold/maple would work but it does, brilliantly. LIKE!
[/quote]
Mark wasn't too sure about it when i first asked!
But I could picture it in my head and it looked good there so.... i went with it.
Really pleased it's transferred into reality well

Comes back as a 1970 neck plate
