spgjmf Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 hi all, I am having trouble finding a replacment neck for a Fender Jazz V bass. The fender specs are 34" scale, 20 frets and no overhange on fingerbord( I think). Warmoth does not have such a beast. Anyone know where to get such , or do I have to go custom and have it made? Might not be worth it for a MIM fender Jazz body. thanks for any tips, suggustion or info welcomed. thanks Jeff spgjmf@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Warmoth can make necks with no overhang. You just have to ask for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 And all their jazz bass necks are 34" scale. They don't, however, make necks for MIM basses -- only American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 theres a difference? i don't hang around basses, so i wouldn't know either way, that just seems wierd to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ya, the curve at the end of the neck is different I think. I know that they only guarantee that it will fit American basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spgjmf Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Ya, the curve at the end of the neck is different I think. I know that they only guarantee that it will fit American basses. hi all, I called USA custom guitars and they can build a neck for about $200. I don't know what is special about the neck on a MIM vs. American Jazz V, but I at least found a neck. Body with electronics was $100, so I am in $300 plus tuners and strings.... Is this worth it for a MIM jazz V ? thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 For a USACG neck it's worth it! From what I've heard, they are rather righteous necks. What you're gonna end up with is undoubtedly better than a MIM Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 USACG is better than warmoth. Tommy is a helluva nice guy, and can use the business. At warmoth, they sell the rejects. He cuts them up. Warpy the Wonder Neck was in the trash my last visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
