Looking for 5 string 24 frets bolt on bass neck

Hi Folks,

as said above I'm looking for a company as Warmoth for example, where I can buy a neck for my needs.

Specs:
- bolt on
- I can choose the woods for neck and fretboard
- true 24 frets, no body overlapping stuff
- 5 string
- trussrod adjust entrance on the bodyside (very important)

My plan: chopping off the headstock, to make a headless neck from it.

Or is there a source for headless bolt on necks?

Thanx 4 your help, greetz from germany

Why don't you just have a builder do it to your spec, you can choose the hardware and woods you want, and they can build it to match the head piece.

Well, I had this idea already - but if you ask a builder in germany, he wants 600, 700, or 800 Euros for it, some even more.
In the US, if you watch warmoth for example, a neck costs (with chipping, toll and VAT) about 300 euros.
But the don't have that thing I'm looking for.

800 euros is a lot, over $1000 US, I wish I still knew the builder who was near Idar Oberstein, he was quite reasonable, but that was 20 years ago that I stayed there...LOL. Currywurst, Kirn'r pils and a lot of wood carvng, was a good time there...LOL
