sunfish Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Has anyone bought one of these Chinese fretless Jazz bass necks on eBay? Is it at best a waste money, or a way for China to get your data? The price is £89 compared to £250 for an Allparts one. So probably crap. Just wondering if anyone has bought one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335400282452?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ppw5fno0sqa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=omsCAJrTS4y&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote
police squad Posted September 24, 2024 Posted September 24, 2024 I bought one from ey guitar parts. Fretless maple. It was/is fine. Used it in my Police tribute The dots are in the wrong place, they are in between the frets like a fretted bass, so I got my tech to add some more in the right place (in black, the original ones were white) worth a punt I woud say Quote
Rodders Posted September 24, 2024 Posted September 24, 2024 I bought one a few years ago, perfectly serviceable, apart from as @police squad says the dots were in the wrong place for fretless, so I put in lines on the edge of the board (or rather my Dad did). Quote

Also had slightly oversized headstock. I might have been unlucky of ocurse 👍 Quote

It has done quite a few gigs but is now retired and hanging on the wall Quote
