Grady Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hi, I'm considering rebuilding an acrylic blue bass that I own. I bought it off of eBay a while back and it was real cheapie but real pretty. As far as I know, it's a one of a kind (unless any of you guys have heard of "Grand" basses). I have stripped all the hardware from it and the only thing that I plan on keeping is the body itself. My problem is getting a new neck. I really doubt my ability to build one. I haven't found any necks that look like they would work. I really like the style of the current neck, it is just made out of poor quality materials and so it needs to be replaced. Take a look. Does anyone have any idea how I should go about getting a new neck on this body? Thanks a ton! -Grady <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_urr_A Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 You could allways get a luthier to build one for you. If you've still got the old neck, it's pretty easy. There are a few guys on here that might do it for you (at the right price of course), or you could probably find someone in your area. Why don't you think you'd be able to build it yourself though?

stockler707 Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I could be wrong, but that neck looks a lot like the necks on Dean basses. Chances are that they won't fit, but it's something to look into. -Hugh :..lj..: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Does luthier have a website that I could go to? All I could find on "luthier.com" is acoustic stuff. I think I could probably build the neck, but I really am scared that I'd screw it up. Espescially the fretting and truss bar. I'm also concerned about finances but I'm sure that building it is probably the best thing to do in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Check a music store in your area, lots of them, around me at least, have a luthier that builds guitars exclusively for their store. Go in and talk to him, he can probably help you out. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckguitarist Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Try these washburn bass necks... They look the same, although the angled part of the neck is on the wrong side, maybe buy a left handed one? Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
