My new Jazz bass ( featuring Baguley neck and Dimarzio and Avedissian pickups! )

[0175westwood29]

Final got the neck in to finish this bass, it’s a standard burst squier vm jazz, but I fitted a Avedissian T bird pickup in the bridge, even added some black pickguard screws! And the standard for me upgrade to a high mass bridge. 

 

obviously the main change is the aluminium neck from Baguley, custom spec’d to have reverse headstock and block inlays!!

Well now. That neck with reversed headstock. *appreciative whistle*

So how does the neck affect the tone?

What's the difference in neck weight, balance? 

Would of been cool to get some before and after comparisons. 

 

Aesthetically I like it. 👍

think I’ve got a few pics from when I first got the bass, 

 

weight wise the neck is about 4lbs I think not measured just going of what they say, atm it neck dives I’ve got some weights I’m gonna add to the lower horn to help that, bass is def a heavy one hour easily talking 11lbs I guess 

 

the tone is much brighter, more top, sounds killer particularly with the bigger tbird pickup in the bridge

Oof!

So cool! Love it.

I really love it.

 

What was your thought behind getting that neck?

 

Trying something new? Sustain? Just because it's cool (which is enough of a justification to me!)

Nice. I feel like you can really hear the aluminium. 

 

Would love to hear it with old strings or flats even.

you can def in my ears hear the metal making a big impact on the high end in the bass! the Tbird pickup is massive sounding aswell!
