Hmm. I wonder if this would fit my short scale corvette.

All the German made stuff is pretty much the same neck pocket (the neck from this is on my Thumb and it's perfect ) Not sure on the Rockbass range.

That looks a lot like the body from my old Corvette - the neck of which is on my current gigging bass! If so, it dates back to 1997

It was mine....and Marcus42's and Dr of the Bass's....

I was considering doing that Comic art thing that was popular a few months ago....

Does anyone know if Warwick sell replacement necks?

This could make a great bitsa at an affordable price (if Warwick's necks are affordable).

Enquiry made with Warwick. Somehow I've got my doubts about this being affordable against buying a used Corvette.

I think they will sell you a neck if you send them the body, otherwise no.

And yes, the cost will probably be more than a typical used corvette.

Nice little project in prospect here though!

Warwick don't do you many favours for replacement parts-

Last Warwick neck I saw on Ebay was a Fretless and went for £140, I would have had that!

So, I guess they copy the serial number from the old neck to the new one.[/size]

If that's Marcus in Rugby, it could indeed be my old body - and before me it belonged to Jigster.
