FS: Warmoth fretless Jazz bass neck - epoxy coated, very clean!

Sign in to disble this ad
The body of my fretless bass just sold, so I'm left with the neck, which I don't really need.

Despite the pictures below, this is for the NECK ONLY.

The neck is by Warmoth. Maple / rosewood with an extended 22 position fingerboard. The rosewood (presumably Indian) is a very dark, rich, tightly grained red brown. It has been coated with epoxy resin (done correctly, cured for a long time to ensure evenness and hardness). I'm not sure who did the epoxy job but it was done well. Only a few minor flaws that you can see under certain lighting. I've tried to capture these as well as I can in the photos. The bass was sent to George Furlanetto at F Bass and he marked the sides of the board as he does his fretless basses. A very cool feature for the fretless-inept like me! The logo on the headstock is a Fender decal.

The neck has been drilled for Schaller BML tuners, and the Schallers are currently installed. There are still holes for Fender style tuners if you prefer to put some of those on instead.

I do not have the strings any longer, sorry.

Cosmetics:

Chrome parts do not show any signs of corrosion that I've found. Neck is straight and the back of the neck is smooth and playable. There are a couple very minor wear spots that I found in the epoxy. If you look at the photos, you'll be able to see them. Overall, the epoxy job is smooth and even - definitely one of the best I've seen in person. Overall, while used, she's in great shape!

Width at nut is 1.5 inches.

Neck heel appears to be 2 1/2" by 3 7/8" by 5/8". Since it is Warmoth, it should fit a standard Fender neck pocket without modification. See picture below from Warmoth's website:



$280 shipped (lower 48 U.S.) gets you this rare neck with hardware (tuning heads and string tree.)
$225 shipped (lower 48 U.S.) without hardware.

Some pics below. Again, the body in these pictures is not for sale, only the neck.

Are you sure you meant to say 2 1/4" heel width? Most Fenders are 2 1/2"...even my old Japanese J copy has a 2 3/8" heel pocket (which is noticeably slimmer than a Fender neck).

That was a seriously rough estimate. I took it with the neck still on. Now that the neck is removed I'll take a better measurement and post it here later on.

Man,
If it had lines and dots, I would have bought it in a second!

The side lines actually help a lot. They get you in the right fret area without causing a dependence on lines (which can mess with your head as far as intonation is concerned.)

OK I am an idiot. It IS 2 and 1/2" Sorry about that. Was much easier to measure with the neck off.

It appears to be 2 1/2" by 3 7/8" by 5/8". It should fit a standard Fender neck pocket. See picture below from Warmoth's website:

I figured, though part of me hoped that it was some sort of fluke so I could use it on my Ibanez!

Speaking of Ibanez copies, I scored a Blazer locally today for $80. It sounds great but I bought it to mess with. It's in pieces now and I'm going to try to strip the finish on Saturday (my first attempt at this sort of thing.)

Incidentally I measured the neck pocket for giggles and you're right...exactly 2 and 3/8" ......

Sorry, man, no need for another neck, since I don't have a spare body to go with it.

Just wondering - you listed a price drop bump but the price was the same as your first post $280

I always edit the original post whenever I do a price drop bump, for thread consistency's sake. The neck started at I think $325, then went to $299, etc...
