apa Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Ive got the rosewood fretless and its pretty good for the money. Good quality Maple neck and with a bit of rubbing down on the edges its a smooth player. No idea on a fretted one though soz. A Quote
dave_bass5 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 That looks like a nice neck, especially at that price. One thing i noticed is the radius is 12", that means the fretboard will be a bit flatter than an American standard (as an example). Probably not a problem, just thought i'd point it out. Quote
soopercrip Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 He's got a tasty looking bookmatched bodied '51 precision copy [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-CH-Guitars-Telecaster-Precision-Bass-based-1951-model-Natural-/130611779113?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e69119629#ht_736wt_952"]http://www.ebay.co.u...29#ht_736wt_952[/url] Nice...

gjones Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I got a neck from this seller. The good points were that it was slim, and straight. The bad points were that the nut had not been filed (which means you'd have to do it yourself or get a new one fitted) and the fretboard on the E string side had been over sanded between the 1st and second fret so it looked a bit lopsided. I've never had it on a bass because of the nut but suspect it would play all right if you sorted that out. Better message him first to make sure the nut is ok before you buy. Quote
