Big block Jazz necks

[amewse]

Just wondered if anyone knows any background about these necks? Seem to be well priced if ok:

I am considering a Jazz special and these have a nice vintage look, don't know if they are any good though. Comments please!

From a quick glance it looked ok to me, but there was something odd about it. Then it hit me, it doesn't have a pearl block inlay at fret one!

Quite a glaring mistake once you notice it, as EVERY bass I've seen with block inlays has an inlay at fret one

I didn't notice until you pointed it out, bit of an oversight.

I have to disagree. At Allparts current price of £380 for a rosewood neck with pearl block inlays, it definitely is NOT cheaper!

I was considering getting one for a P bass project. I missed out on the last one he had. I've had some corespondance with the seller and he seems ok.

I hadn't noticed the lack of first fret marker, but don't think it would put me off

Allparts necks are the dog's spuds though, and are second only to Fender.
In fact they can be superior in some cases, in my humble opinion.

I totally agree, but by anyone's books £360 is more expensive than £150!

Oh well you missed out on my allparts neck with rosewood fretboard I was selling on basschat a few weeks ago. I ended up putting it on ebay and it went for next to nothing.
