Ska Man Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 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.

brensabre79 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 No worries, you could keep an eye on eBay too. Although most of the people parting out Fenders are in the US still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBass Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You could try Bluebass Guitars 01206 543171. They supplied me with a Mighty Mite neck at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubis Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) 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 ?

Ska Man Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Man Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
