Boomer Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi all. Anyone got a scooby doo where I can get my hands on a replacement neck for a G&L M2000/M2000 GTS? I have an M2000 GTS with an L2000 neck - its a lovely bass but I am finding the neck profile and width tough. Tried G&L in the US - useless. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers.

bumnote Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 If you get this sorted and want to get rid of your old neck please let me know. I was looking for an old style 44mm g&l neck for my sb2 as you say, G&l -useless. Its a 21 fret neck I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Yep - 21 frets. I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 There are probably a number of Luthiers that could make you one and to exactly your specification. I'm sure there will be plenty of suggestions to follow. Not sure if it would be cost prohibitive but I enquired a while back to have a custom neck made by Philip Porter in Manchester and he quoted around £300. I know Mike Walsh, Zoot Bass, has done necks in the past and he is Kent way, so maybe not too far from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks BassBunny. Thought about having a neck made, but tbh I may as well sell the M2000 and upgrade to a Stingray or similar. Gonna see what comes out of the woodwork, and persevere with the L2000 neck - I am a relative beginner and play in a band doing 80s covers. I am pretty good but find the width and radius on the L2000 neck stops me hitting octaves and the like accurately. I know practise makes perfect but....
