AliExpress 🤣

I often wonder if I had £100.00 to waste (obviously I don’t ) I’d buy one of these for the laugh 😆..there’s probably a good chance it would never turn ..

Even has the “w” logo …

It'll turn up, just don't pay the absolute minimal price you see (the Warwick copies are all over AE at a variety of prices) and expect not to do some work. Will most likely be a workable instrument and a decent cheap platform to practice your fingerboard radius profiling, fret dressing and fine sanding skills though.

 

 

A while ago there were some lefty Rockbasses on there for decent prices, I assume their factory is knocking them out on the side with minimal finishing and cheaper hardware, you can buy body blanks on the cheap from there as well along with Warwick 2 piece bridges, build your own Corvette or Streamer!

 

The carving on this looks rough but could be a nice looking copy with a bit of attention:

Not sure I'd risk buying a bass from aliexpress, but the Lekato WS-60 wireless system I bought from there is excellent, and can be used in mono or stereo mode to take advantage of rick-o-sound (on a real 4003)

I bouight a jazz bass neck from Aliexpress

it turned up, has a fender decal and usa serial number

I will attached it to a body in the next few months and see how it goes

it looks and feels nice

I bought a similar one from ebay and have actually gigged with it. It set up well, so I'll leave it be for now

Some of these are literally factory qc fails. In China nothing goes in the skip if someone is willing to buy it.

I bought a medium scale jazz neck direct from China off fleaBay. It has binding and block inlays but was unfinished. It cost around £60 if I recall correctly. Anyway, it is more than half decent. A bit of fine sanding and a couple of coats of Rustins matte varnish finished it nicely. There were a few sharp fret ends and the nut was a bit rough but didn’t require too much work. The heel was a bit wider than standard Fender, so I had to ease the pocket on the body I was putting it on. The neck profile is interesting in that it starts very jazz like but gets quite precision like towards the 12 fret. Quite reminiscent of Ibanez SRs. 
 

It could well have been a factory QC failure because of the fret ends, nut and heel dimensions but try finding a medium scale jazz neck in the UK, especially for that money. I’ve gigged this neck on a P body and it is more than fine.
