    Replacement neck for an '80-'81 G&L L-1000: But with a twist!

    Help! I inherited a 1980 L-1000 (my third wunkey!). Unfortunately the neck has gone south and is unusable. Finding a stock replacement for one of these would be challenging enough, but here's a twist: I find the L-1000 necks to be too wide for my tastes--especially at the nut. My dream has...

    Where are the doubleneck bodies?

    It seems there would be some demand for doubleneck bass bodies (fretted/fretless, standard/piccolo) yet none of the usual parts and kit suppliers seem to have any. The closest Warmoth comes is a Strat/P-Bass combo. Anyone knows why something that seems so obvious (well, to me, anyway) doesn't...

    Boutique Vibe On a Budget.

    I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Please feel free to direct me to any threads (recent, as things do change) that have covered this already. Through a series of robberies over the years I have found myself losing a Ken Smith, a 1980 mahogany/ebony G&L L1000 (I cried for...
