Like your quote... Man never gives up. Very Thomas Edison! I took a look at the EKO. Kind of pricey at $280 with shipping and there is no heal measurement. I'm leaning towards a Warmoth medium scale 32" neck. That is also a 2 3/8" heal with maple fingerboard, made in usa and 2/3 the price...

Thanks for the tip. I looked for a used matsamoku 2 3/8 neck, but don't see anything using google. I'm guessing they are hard to come by. In which case would it make more sense to use a router to shave the neck down from 2.5" to 2 3/8"? OR to route the bass body wider to fit a...

This is my first time building a bass. I bought a used, precision body that was sold as a MIJ. The body was painted blue, but could have been white, or natural wood color originally. In any case, there is no visible serial number to help identify it. A Squier VM, maple, jazz neck that was...

Hi, some nice basses! I'm interested in the P&J project. Can you tell me a little bit more by "functional". What is the action on the neck like? Do you know the origin of the neck? Thanks.

Hi, is the neck still available? Thanks.

Hi, I have a brand new head. Eden E300 in the box. Would offer along with $100. What part of PA are you? Possibly could deliver this week. PM me if interested. Thanks. David

I have an old Fender pbass japan made body with original passive electronics. It needs a paint job....yes a project! My intention was to put a warmoth medium scale neck on it, but was told that their medium scale necks only fit their bodies. I could probably stop by next weekend for you...

Thanks for the information John. I have one follow up question. Does the bridge need to be moved for short scale, because of string length or necessary for the sound?

A few questions. Can a regular p-bass body be converted to a short scale? I was considering a 30" bronco neck, or 32" warmoth shortscale. I already bought a mij pbass body! Plan on refinishing, so would be able to do woodwork as necessary! I'm more experienced with woodworking, than...
