TimAl Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) My first ever project - time to clear some space in an Everything Must Go frenzy! Originally an Encore Precision neck- but defretted & visually changed by yours truly & actually played really well once put back together. Original tuners & string tree - all works as it should - maybe a bit of fun for someone? £25.00 collected from me in Bedford with cash upon collection, or happy to post at cost which I'm guessing would be around a tenner with payment via PayPal including fees.

alyctes Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Is this "normal" 42mm-ish P-bass width at the nut? I think I may have a cunning plan
TimAl Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 Howdy alyctes - yes it is, your normal 42mm Oooh, nice
Daz39 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 What are the fret lines filled with to make it smooth? Is it a heavy neck?

[/quote] I used a really dark wood filler Daz - so the lines look black - & no, although the scales have currently disappeared I'd say it's a 'normal' weight - not noticeably heavier than any other.

Daz39 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Hmm. Curiouser and curioser. I have a Columbus P-Bass on which the fretted neck is both a) heavier than ought to be legal, and is far too baseball-bat for my liking. Reckon this has the same attachment alignment? Is there a pic of the back of the bit where it fits in the pocket (is that the heel? I dunno)

TimAl Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 Sorry, max heel width is 61.5mm & max depth is 26mm.
