Nodd Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have had problems with at the neck on a Squire P bass I bought recently, the truss rod had no adjustment left in it and seemed to be trying to escape from behind the skunk stripe. I didn't really like the profile either, too skinny in depth and width. I've been looking for a replacement with more of a chunky feel, similar to my '75 Fender. Nothing available from the UK, US imports are pricy. I saw this advertised on eBay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60s-style-L-H-left-hand-JB-bass-guitar-maple-neck-slab-rosewood-fingerboard-/331590653174?hash=item4d3457d4f6"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d3457d4f6[/url] I have had it fitted now for three weeks and its great! £75, solid, great profile, comes with Kluson M/heads, a couple of tweaks to the truss rod and away we went. Obviously, mine is a straight forward rosewood and maple with Dot markers, but they also advertise fully bound and blocked necks for the same price. Anyone else tried them?

Muzz Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Not them, but I've had a few Mightymite necks, and they've generally been very good - one of them needed a bit of a fret dress (the fret ends), but otherwise great for the money.

mxm Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 +1 for the MightyMite necks - had a couple in the past and they were quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodd Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 But were they only £75? Apart from the hassle of getting them from the USA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yep, got mine from an EBay seller in the UK, they were around that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodd Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well, there you are.... having searched and enquired on BC to no avail, no necks and then 3 come along at the same time! Mine is lacquered, kinda lightly aged tint, with Klusons but no logo, nor string tree. I would have preferred a 'Tele' headstock but not a big deal.
