oldslapper Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) After contemplating "unlining" a lined fretless, I decided to just get another bass with an unlined neck attached. Warmoth Unlined Jazz Neck (heaviest weighing neck I've ever played) MIM jazz body Badass ll bridge SD pups Schaller machine heads Pics https://photos.app.goo.gl/wL9Gl072CImgNrux1 Recording with it at a session this afternoon.

uk_lefty Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Nice! Did you get a good deal on the neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Bought the whole bass as you see it. I did get a good deal though. The neck profile is deeper than I'm used to, but it's surprisingly comfortable. My first warmoth necked bass.

uk_lefty Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ah ok I jumped to the conclusion you'd knocked up a bitsa yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Understandably from my initial wording 😊 which I've since edited. Apparently Warmoth necks are heavier due to 2 steel rods, never knew that until I did some research when I got the bass home. No neck dive though, and feels substantial & reassuring in the hand (ooh err), the truss rod adjusted easily & there are no dead spots or humps (quite unusual in my experience with some fretless necks). Happy slappy here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Weighed this today, wondering as it felt heavier than my Kramer Ali necked. 11lbs....! 😦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
