1983 Roadstar II neck dimensions....can you help?

[martyman5000]

I'm looking for someone that can help me find a neck that will match closely to the original neck. Anyone with a Roadstar II bass that can measure the nut and heel thickness..overall dimensions so I can buy a Warmoth LP style neck would help me a great deal.

thanks if you can help.

PM a guy with S/N 'Sloom' over on www.bassnutz.com

He rebuilt one recently from a single pup body I picked up here
locally, it was an 83 iirc. I gave it to him as he wanted a dub
project bass.

He is a carpenter and lives in RI, Good peeps and I am sure
he'd be happy to help out a bass playing brutha.

The Warmoth necks won't fit, the heel is longer than the
Fender style replacements. You will have to scour around to
find one.

I couldn't find one, but one turned up a week after I gave the
body to him.

Thanks Thor for you help, Another site bassist gave me the info...seems very close to what I have made out of my crap Ebay Eden neck...

I've got an '85 RB630 Roadstar II which I am trying to replace the truss rod on. Will that work for the dimensions you want? It has the one-piece Fender-style neck with no added fretboard (one-piece maple, like the old Fenders), skunk stripe, etc.

If I can replace the truss rod and actually get a functional neck out of it, I'll have a complete '85 Roadstar II.

But I'd take a replacement neck too, if I could find one.

I have a date with my 81 Roadster on Sat. afternoon, its at a friend's studio. If you need I can take my calipers and give you a pretty exact rundown.

I'm big on calipers, I have both conventional and dial models.
Quite handy for measuring stuff.

Hey man, I'm going to get to you tomorrow night! I'm sorry, I've just been busy with home remodeling, yadda yadda... but I'll put that thing together and post or PM back to you on what I find.

I bought a Warmoth LP style neck...it should be close enough...Warmoth kept asking "do you need this?" and it added up $$$$$$$$$$ I didn't get a nut for it because it was getting so expensive.
