Telebass Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 [attachment=112805:DSC00012.JPG] Yumminess! I put the black blocks neck on my MIM P due to the neck being weak. I've kept it going for around three years using TI Jazz flats, but still the truss rod won't hold it. So, the standard neck retires to a hook on the wall, and the neck from Higgie takes its place! Plays better than ever, possibly the nicest action I've ever played, in fact. The Jazz came from fellow BCer Rasta, and the neck on this (they are both Allparts necks) is a little more of a handful, but still plays beuatifully. And the Lindy Fralins sound huge! Quote

Telebass Posted July 11, 2012 Author Posted July 11, 2012 Playing it gives me that feeling too! Quote
Fat Rich Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Not a big fan of black blocks and binding but on an all black bass I think it looks pretty cool! Quote
BottomE Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 They look great. Really lovely. I'd love blocks on one of my basses... Quote
lozbass Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Love the blocks and binding effect but dots and binding ('66 Jazz) does funny things to me - butterbean tuners too -what a cool look! Edited July 12, 2012 by lozbass Quote

Simon. Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Blocks & binding - 'tis the only way to go! I really should get a pic up of my now finished Bitsa PJ - lots of lovely blocks on display! Quote
mckendrick Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Black blocks are WRONG. * f***s off sharpish like * Quote
Gust0o Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Looks good. The only person I've seen not make the block inlay work was Hitler. Quote
