carlsim Posted March 18 Posted March 18 hi all... i need a little project to give me something to do and I have always lusted after a relic'd 70s precision bass with the 'TV' logo so that will be my next thing to do. I fancy having a bash at relic'ing myself, not on something expensive so was looking at getting a Harley Benton MV-4P in a cool colour. However, the neck I would be looking to replace with either a Squire or Fender neck. Mainly for the shape of the headstock which I would want to sand back, add a new decal and the tint / age and relic. Not legit I know, but more for funsies plus I love a relic'd P bass but don't really play 4 string much so it won't get much use other than noodling at home. So, will a fender / squire neck fit a HB p bass body? Could anyone check physically? I can find general information about p bass neck pockets online, but nothing about the HB MV-4P. Could anyone measure one? Anyone offer any help? Thanks! Quote
