Asomodai Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hey guys, I have just bought an OTT neck on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Basically i was wondering, where would the string tree go? I would rather it not go through the MOP, Its esacped me, whats the point of a string tree? Do i need one? Basically the project involves this neck on a Hartke Vacarro Body. I want the Best Hardware i can put onto the bass. What string trees would you recommend? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 The string tree holds the stings into the nut. You can use staggered tuners from Sperzel. With those you do not need a string tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Tell us how the neck is when you get it, im interested in those necks I bought a truss rod cover from that guy though, it seems like plastic more than MOP inlays though, and it cracked in the middle for some reason, but eh.. I dunno.. hopefully the necks are better.. Do tell if its real MOP and if its a good quality neck when you get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Can you post a pic of the truss rod cover? Even if it is cracked it wont make much difference in the playing of the neck Per-say, Someone hazard a guess at the type of neck it is? J/P? No problem, i love his other designs. Theres one of a huge tarantula on the @Bay at the moment which i might also get! i have seen close up pictures of other necks and the MOP has cracked. So meh:S. As long as it plays its ok!

NickCormier Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 yeah ill post a pic when I get home.. of it on my guitar too hah even though it isnt finished, its a start.. its ok I guess, I think it cracked because it was shipped in like super freezing cold weather then I put it down in my house without the protection around it (shipping package) and then i woke up and it was cracked.. so i dunno if i cracked it when i put it down or what.. eh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickmangumby Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Far out, he has some nice looking and dirt cheap guitars there! Are they the real deal? Has anyone bought one of them? It seems too good to be true, and the inlays looks bloody awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickCormier Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 bump for people who wanna see that trc also, when is the neck gonna get in to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 The neck should have been sent of a day or two ago, 10-12 days shipping, minus however long customs wants to take with it . I will let everyone know how it works out. Also i am unable to view those pics, Perhaps a direct link could help? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asomodai Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Ok just got contacted by the seller, it was shipped a couple of hours ago, and will take 8-10 days instead of the 10-12 days quoted originally. Just so you know guys, its going to be put on a Hartke Vaccarro Body. Undecided on the pickup config at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Awesome.. ill be waiting those 8-10 days ^^ heres the TRC btw.. looks nice I guess other than the crack, dont mind my bad paintjob, im gonna sand it and use gloss-black rather than flat-black (my mistake when shopping) lol http://h1.ripway.com/OneSorrOW/neckon004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 10 days eh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCormier Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) I think if that neck u ordered from him is good, im gonna order an acoustic AND strat from him! I have a ***** acoustic I wanna get rid of, and my friend wants it for $200, so with that $200 I might buy one from him, least it'll look nice lol.. then buy a ***** strat from him thats all inlayed up, and replace the pickups.. i mean if those are real inlays, even if its like plywood, its nice to have just to look at and make people think u have amazing stuff, then if they want tone ill just pull out my custom guitar im working on hah They do look amazing though!

Asomodai Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 The neck came today, Very well packaged, Was actually much faster then the shipping i get from America. The neck has a profile and thickness inbetween a jazz and a p bass neck. The neck seems to be made out of some decent woods. The inlays seem real enough to me. The frets could have been rolled a little better and needs a slight polish. The Fretboard needed alot of lemon oil but this is understandable for a new neck! Thats all i can really tell you for now until i get all my other parts in! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
