Rumple Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I have an notion to convert my cheap Bitsa Jazz Bass to medium scale, ideally I would have just picked up a cheap neck from Ebay but try as I might I can't find a Fender shaped neck in 32" scale. So my question is has anyone had a custom Fender style neck made for them in the UK for a reasonable price? Quote
ikay Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'd be interested to know as well. Apart from Warmoth, are there any other aftermarket suppliers of 32" necks or is a custom job the only way? Quote

ikay Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks Dave, hmm I'll give that option some thought but to be honest would prefer a finished neck. Drilling the tuner holes might exceed my woodworking skills! Ian Quote
