thebrig Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm after a Jazz neck made from wenge similar to the pics below, does anybody know where can I get this made for a reasonable price in the UK? I know Warmoth make them, but they are very expensive, especially after adding duty and shipping costs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 How about Shuker. I'm sure I've seen other necks made by the crew there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) If you are looking for something like Warmoth... I know there's nothing on the site but it may be worth dropping [url="https://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/"]https://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/[/url] a line. Otherwise you may want to drop one of your local luthiers a line. Wenge is not going to be a common off the shelf neck - as you have probably discovered!

TheGreek Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Why not try our own Andyjr1515 or Jabba the Gut - both have shown that their wares are up there with the major manufacturers. Check out Bluejay's blog on the Herts Bash thread to see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Mike Walsh of Zoot fame has been building quite a few custom necks of late. Worth dropping him a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrig Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks everybody, I've emailed Jon Shuker to see whether he can help me out. If you have any more suggestions, they would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Just another for Jon, he made a replacement neck for a P bass of mine as a tribute to my nan when she passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Feline Guitars (Croydon) http://www.felineguitars.com They are known for making very nice guitars, don't know if they make necks from scratch or buy them in, but worth a call if your investigating.

TheGreek Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I forgot to mention (as did everybody else) ACG - Alan builds great basses at reasonable prices, compared to the competition. If in doubt, check out his work in the affiliates and builds threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
