Linus27 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi, I would like to get a maple fretless neck made for my natural Fender Precision bass. The idea is so it's a replica of Sting's fretless maple Fender Precision as seen in the pictures. Apart from Jon Shuker, are there any other options available to me? I'm in the south so a bit of a trek to head up to Shuker although I would if it's the best option. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Lots of people around that could do this for you. @Andyjr1515 has done some fantastic work for people on here. Martin Sims (Sims Guitar Works) great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Carbon fiber = Status. Their selection includes non-lined, no front dots versions and many more. Even that woodish color as one option. Matt lacquer, tints... On top of these, Rob and Dawn are very service-oriented. http://www.status-graphite.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Culture Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Mike Walsh of Zoot basses fame is based in Witham (well, Silver End actually), a gnat's fart off the A12. That's the custom fretless he made for me on the Home page. http://www.zootbass.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) I've been looking for one as well and spotted this on Aliexpress but despite the low price I'm not sure if I want to take the chance Edited July 16, 2019 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micguy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Warmoth will do that for you; their necks are very good, and nothing you're asking for is all that far afield. Edited July 17, 2019 by micguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Maple fingerboard on a fretless? Why exactly? Won't it wear out a bit fast? Epoxy maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This has just popped up on Ebay so I've decided to take a chance and have ordered one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 In less than 7 days it arrived today form China. At first glance the fingerboard is a nice piece of slightly flamed maple. It has a coating on it that looks like a typical poly neck finish. I'll be using flats on it so it should be ok. It looks to be very well made. When you hold it up to the light, it's not perfect but from further away it does look really good. At under £60 I'm not going to complain. I just need to decide whether to withdraw my Geddy Jazz, fit it to my Thomann Deko jazz or buy a cheap precision body and a set of pickups. I have most of the other parts that I need so may go with this option. Gear4Music do natural finish P bass ash bodies for £40 plus postage which are all ready to go. I'l post a couple of pics when I'm back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
