5 string Steinberger neck by Moses - *SOLD* £350 London

[Kiwi]

 

I rediscovered these recently while having a bit of a clear out. They're pretty much surplus to requirements now as my tastes have gone in a different direction since I bought them. 

 

They are identical to the necks fitted to the Q and XQ5 line of bases from the mid 90's, when Music Yo were selling Steinberger parts online.  Fantastic necks, very stiff yet  warm and full sounding with a consistent response all over the neck. 

Each neck is 34" scale, features 24 frets and includes a head piece with five brass ferrule embedded in the heel. The headpiece doesnt have single ball end string clamps so a string clamping arrangement will be needed.

 

They are cast in a single piece from a mould, rather than hollow formed from layers such as Status and Modulus necks.  I'm not sure about fingerboard radius but either 14 or 16".

 

The nut is 45mm wide

 

The neck heel is tapered, check the photos for measurements.

68mm

 

64.5mm

 

80mm to the line

 

Heel depth 26mm

 

There are four necks for sale in total and the price is per neck, excluding royal mail postage which I'll confirm in due course. They're offered on a first come first serve basis. One of the necks has lost a little of the black finish and has a slightly different headstock design as you'll see in the pictures. These are purely cosmetic differences. 

 

Feel welcome to drop me a line with any questions.  If you fancy collecting from west central London, I'm in the UK until next Wednesday. After that point, a friend will be posting them out for me.

 

 

 

EDIT: One has sold already.  Three left

Two sold, two more left.

What's the neck depth at the 1st and 12th frets, if you're able to measure that?

The most accurate measurement I can make is 22mm at the nut and 24mm at the 12th.

All gone apart from one which I'm shipping back to home.
