Telebass Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Having had something of a Damascene conversion to the A necked beasties recently, I've decided that henceforth, all my basses, including the black Precision, will eventually have bound-and-blocks 'A' necks. For example the ex-Shockwave bitsa now wears an Allparts black blocks neck. Lee's (Rasta) jazz (swapping for 51RI tomorrow) has white binding/pearl blocks. When I can afford it, I'll get anoher Allparts black blocks jobbie for the P bass, thereby making it like the custom one-off shown on page 54 of The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History., except mine has a b/w/b pickguard. Anyone else as blocks-bonkers as this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 No, can't stand blocks. I do love the '65-'66 dot and bound Jazzes withe the lollipop tuners, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry norton Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Just been to a party so can't think straight. Blocks and binding absolutely essential for a Jazz bass - I prefer rosewood, bound and blocked J boards myself. Dammit, sparkling wine is making it difficult to typer.............. Right, I'll post a good binding provider on here as soon as I can type prooprely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I did that on a Jap non-export dot n bound I had: stuck some Hipshot lollies on it. A fellow Basschatter now owns that bass.

JimBobTTD Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I can't seem to remember how to link on my phone, but if you look at the thread I posted last night about a bound and blocked Jazz...that bass is about all I have to say on the subject!
