Mendel Sig neck

[Combed20]

Hi

 Does anyone know where I might get a new neck with the exact profile/demensions of the Nate Mendel sig bass? Doesn't have to be Fender, could be another company making that profile.

 

Thanks in adv.

The neck on the NM is one that Fender only did for a couple of years in about 71 if I remember right. Don`t have any idea where you could get one the same profile, maybe get one from the Stratosphere on E bay but I think they can be pricey. Or get a tech to mod a existing neck to the same shape, providing you have a spec for the NM neck?

It is my favourite neck shape by far for a P bass.

Sorry if this is wrong place to post

 

Does anyone of any companies who make necks to the same spec as the Nate Mendel sig bass? It's the perfect middle ground btween a jazz and a standard P for me, and I want to put one on a home build. 

 

Thanks

Assuming they still do the NM, can’t you just order one from Fender?

As in the other thread, can’t you just order one from Fender?

This.

 

Or start with a regular P neck and get a good luthier to shave it down? I know Jon Shuker has done that sort of work for people in the past.

Unfortunately you can't by the neck directly from Fender.

Good call, The Bass Gallery in Camden also do this, and not as costly a job as might be expected (or at least when I contacted them I thought it was pretty reasonable).

That’s a shame. It seems to be the only rosewood board with the more sensible & visible black side dots on the maple.
