New neck needed

[Ska Man]

Hi guys, I need a new neck for my MIM jazz 5string. Just wondering if any body has got one for sale or can recommend where to get a good one within E.U. so I dont have to pay any import tax. Ive seen the nice 1's in the states but with tax and shipping cost would be cost prohibitive. And yes I have been googling it now for about a month and its melting my head so any help is welcome
Cheers, Mick

Hi Mick, not sure if [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/bodies-necks/necks/bass-necks/5-string-bass-neck-rosewood-fingerboard-no-finish-p-1968.html"]these[/url] guys can help but I think Allparts have a UK site, they said to me once they can get anything from the US site brought over.

No worries, you could keep an eye on eBay too. Although most of the people parting out Fenders are in the US still.

You could try Bluebass Guitars 01206 543171. They supplied me with a Mighty Mite neck at a good price.

This might suit your needs, looks like a MightyMite neck [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261169582570?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648"]http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2648[/url] what's up with the old one, by the way ?

That looks like a mighty mite alright and cheap too. The luthier is trying to take the fret board off my neck to fit a new truss rod. Existing one has all the thread stripped. He's having a hard time with it and reckons the glue used was never meant to come off. Its taking him months so far and still not off. I might just go crazy and buy a warmoth. My bass is the standard mex 5string Jazz. Its the one with the 5 left hand tuners so some necks are suited to American models and there seems to be different spec on these. It has my head melted

A year later the bass is finished. Got a brand new neck from Stratosphere on ebay, MIM Deluxe. Cost around 300euro inc tax. USA bridge and ferrules fitted with Aguilar split singles and im still not gone on it. I think the fact it was with a guitar tech for over a year who really messed me around has taken the love out of this bass for me

[/quote] Sounds like that so called tech is a right waste of time ......a whole year and he has achieved nothing I would be well annoyed to I hope he did not charge you shame you just didn't source a neck yourself and whack it on But on the positive side maybe when you have played the bass a bit and got over being peed off you will will love for the bass again

I hope so Thunderbird.
