Width, depth, finish or something else? Thanks OG Edit I see you are in Cardiff. Come round and have a go Edited May 21, 2010 by OldGit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) If I may throw in my tuppenn'orth, the neck on the 70RI is quite narrow (B width) and feels half way between a traditional P and a J. For a Jazz player looking to move towards a Precision it will be a very comfortable option IMHO. If on the other hand you want a really chunky baseball bat 50s Precision neck, this is not the bass for you. Hope that helps.

cocco Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi mate. Kind of all of the above I suppose. Is it a trunk of a neck? I had a 78 which I miss the neck of dearly, it was pure poetry. I'm immagining it's glossed, not really a major issue. Is it deep? Mine was quite wide at the nut but then shallow. Kind of like a rick I suppose. I know what I mean but it's hard to word. I tend to either love or hate p necks and there's never anything real behind it. Just that something that necks either have or don't. Wow I sound pretentious now. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't answer re Reading that. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very far from a tree trunk neck. As Jazz like as a P can get (without actually having J dimensions). Glossed on the back but its not thick and gloopy. I find it very fast, faster for example than the vintage 73 Fender Jazz I used to own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot easier than me trying to describe it in any meaningful way. However, for those of you not in Cardiff..... It's 40mm so not massively wide. The wide traditional C type is about 44mm It's deeper (fretboard to thumb position) than my 62RI but it's not a baseball bat. Somewhere in the middle. Finish wise it's still got its glossy coat. I'd [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=11331&view=findpost&p=153000"]take the 800 grit to it[/url] if I was keeping it. I'll PM you the full gallery of big pics..

How long have you had it?[/quote] Swap you for your Squier JV I've had this about a fortnight. I import them from Japan. I usually have one or two either here or on the way. Mostly 62RI Precisions and Jazzes. The 70RI's don't come up much... well they do, but at very silly money. Edited May 22, 2010 by OldGit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
