F|S Blocked\Bound r-w Jazz bass neck, Custom setup

Sign in to disble this ad
For sale,
An Allparts bound and blocked jazz bass neck.
Bought it new, and sent it in for a pro setup. Then I decided to have a few more things redone.

The back contour, frets and fret ends were completely reworked by Grandon Westlund, "The Bass Kahuna" http://www.gwbasses.com/index.shtml

Take a close look at the picture "click for full size" and check out the action, and the fret ends. That alone shows what a excellent job Grandon did. I know I'll be sending my guitars to him from now on. The man is a real pro.

He rolled the edges of the binding.

Reshaped the back, getting it much closer to a 62 jazz contour.

He finished the back with a couple coats of tru oil, leaving a softer worn in feel.

The fingerboard is nice and dark, almost looks like ebony. It has a better slap tone than most rosewood boards I've played.
It's a wonderful neck guys. Probably the nicest Allparts neck you'll find, or play anywhere.

I bought it new, 5 months ago for 250.00, and the extra setup cost was another 200.00. I would like to get some of that $$ back, considering it's a custom job, and practically new.

I should add; The holes in the pocket were drilled the right way, with a drill press. And it fit my AV 62RI nice and tight.

So, how about 300.00 plus shipping, in the US. Pay Pal eCheck would be best for payment.

I'll get a couple more pics up later tonight.
Please PM or email me if you want more pics, or have questions.

SOLD

In reply to Valerus


Yes sir, I'm waiting on my camera to get back home. It's plain, no decal, only has a string tree installed on it. That goes with the neck too.

Thanks

Would this guy work on repairs for my bass? Like touch-ups, refrets, fix fret buzzing and whatnot?

Oh yeah, Check out his site......
http://www.gwbasses.com/customshop/index.shtml

He's got a complete bass building shop. Also makes the nicest cases for Gator.
He can build, repair, or do anything you need, and he's very very good. A basic setup is only like 35-40 bucks too.

Really? That's not a bad price at all. I got my bass worked on before but it didn't really help much.

What bass did you have worked on? What did you have done?

My '75 RI Jazz, he reseated a few frets and whatnot. Mainly all fretwork. But I think it's time for this to get a full setup done

Or this neck right here would be a sweet upgrade.
