FS: Moses carbon fiber / graphite neck - plekked, Schaller tuners installed

Sign in to disble this ad
Got a Moses neck here for sale.

This is a pretty great neck - very solid and smooth, and in pretty good shape except for a couple issues. There are a couple surface cracks on the face of the headstock which were repaired by a previous owner using cyanoacrylate. They are still noticeable and bumpy but you have to be within a couple yards of the bass to know they're there. There is a thin chunk of graphite missing from the top contour of the headstock when you look at it top down. I tried to picture these issues in my photos but it was a little difficult (mainly the last two photos.) Bottom line is, they are cosmetic only and will not affect the bass. If you want a pristine neck, this is not it. If you don't care about cosmetics, you probably won't care. I *do* care about cosmetics, very much, and they don't bother me. The rest of the neck is shiny, glossy, and smooth lest maybe a few tiny scratches/dings here and there.

Neck plays and sounds very nice - warm tone, not harsh or sterile. Frets are great. Per a previous owner, it was set up and Plekked by luthier Phil Jacoby.

Dimensions per a previous owner:

1.690" (1 -11/16") width at the nut
Depth at 1st fret .810", 3rd .840", 5th .860", 7th .900, 12th .980
Neck shape feels thinner than a C shape.

-Includes black Schaller tuning machines and string tree installed. E-tuner is missing small black paint spot in the back.
-Bone nut.
-No Moses brass neck inserts. Instead it has what looks to me like regular steel bolts.
-Bolts and black neck plate included
-Mother of pearl face dots

$245 o.b.o. shipped, lower 48, including Schaller tuners and string tree. I really don't want to take the tuners off but I will consider it for a serious buyer and knock a bit off the price.

Yes, but they're pretty specific.

I'd like:

-Villex PRBT tone control

-Some chrome tuning machines that will fit a 11/16" headstock - prefer Hipshot Ultra-Lites.

That's about all at the moment.

Hump Day Bump Day. Open to cash offers. Great way to try out graphite for your project bass and not have to worry about drilling the neck heel or installing tuners.
