thepurpleblob Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Acquired one of these recently and they're damn good. Rather wide neck - which I think is a good thing - generally only seen on much more expensive instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Your cheapest option would be to go into Mansons and get a defret. Should be less than £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 HI, Yes spoken to Hugh, the rosewood grain is a bit too "open" so not sure this would be a good outcome. Theres a frtted neck for sale on ebay (somewhere in Malaysia I think), and I wondered whether to buy that, and get the fretboard swapped for an ebony one. still a bit pricy though after all work done. I have also contacted Lakland, and they can sell me a fretless neck, but only rosewood, and i ideally want ebony.... They say they only do rosewood for skyline basses, but there are two ebony necked 55-02's on bassemporium.com, so maybe only available in US?

chris_b Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) The neck on EBay may be genuine and just have "fallen off the back of a lorry", but it could be a forgery. I've asked Lakland for a USA rosewood neck and their price was $1000. A Skyline should be much cheaper. Drop them an email. A rosewood fretboard will probably be too soft for round wound strings but should hold up with flat wound strings. A coat of epoxy on the board should give you the protection that you need.

[/quote] I have a 2008, fretless, ebony 55-02. I'm second owner, but it was ordered by a UK customer. Either they've stopped doing them or else the ebony necks are not made available separately from the finished product. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
