Flea Jazz Bass Bitsa Build Lakand Neck.

£666 plus shipping at cost.

Flea Jazz Bass Bitsa Build.

Genuine Fender  Roadworn Flea Bass Body

Lakland  Skyline Neck - Some cosmetic damage on neck - see photos.

Some chewing around the truss  - all works as it should.

Lightweight unbranded tuning pegs.

Cosmetically not perfect but a nice Jazz neck.

The neck is a little narrow for the pocket (think vintage Fender!) so I've added a small approx 1mm shim down the side between the neck and the body.  Close up photo of this below.

For the photo I've lifted the shim a little out of the pocket and  marked the edge in black so it can be seen in the photos - it would just need flipping back around for the natural colour.

 

Current wearing a Kiogon solderless loom and plate - Vol / Vol / Tone with S1 series pull pot on the tone control for putting pickups in series - gives a P bass esque sound.

I can swap this to a Kiogon  Stacked Vol Tone / Vol Tone loom - however you'd need to get the correct 3 hole bell plate to fit.

 

Tonerider Jazz Pickups are currently installed.

 

Wilkinson bridge with brass coloured saddles.

 

Tort plate now gone.....but can supply wearing an alternative blouse - see Photos.

ToneRider pickups are simply amazing for such silly money. They do sound like authentic vintage ones, no kidding.

And your no name lightweight tuners are original American Hipshot as the very first series were not branded when OEM.

To me a very good bass for little money (got quite a similar one to reassemble, but this time with a full maple neck).

GLWYS.

Agreed - I tried 4 or 5 different sets of pickups and settled on the Tonerider ones.

Great bitsa!

If you ever think of parting it out, I would be interested in the body.

GLWTS!
