    Does anyone know of a supplier of 24 fret Jazz necks and bodies similar to the Sadowsky and Valenti shape with good cutaway access to the upper frets? From what I understand these are Parts bases that are expertly assembled. Unfortunately I can't find a builder who will do the finish that I want so I'm considering just buying the parts and having it put together myself, unless one of the Builders I've been speaking to would be willing to send it off to the painter I have found, but so far no answers there so I'm looking into other options.

    That's not very accommodating for someone that claims they want to build you your 'perfect bass'. Explore him sending it out to your painter for the finish too.

    That's exactly what I'm exploring, I don't want to say he said no yet. He didn't, we're still discussing

    That would be a completely acceptable option for me if he were willing to do it. And I just want to reiterate he hasn't said no yet
