    I was unhappy with the neck of my Cort C4h
    but I really love the body shape so I had a neck made by a luthier here in Italy and I can say that now I'm really in love with that bass, is light, extremely comfortable and easy to play,
    now to make it even better I think i'm gonna put a pair of good MM humbucker but with passive electronic, maybe vol/vol and Tone/tone with a s/p switch

    3 piece flamed (doesn't show well on these pics) maple (central is quarter sawn)
    no frontal dots
    3 mm side dots
    5 mm fretboard in rio rosewood
    dual action truss rod MM style
    graphtech nut
    mother of pearl inlay at the 12

    what do you think?

    What was wrong with the first one? Too chunky?

    wow, it's very pretty with the new neck (I don't mean that it wasn't pretty before.....)
    The pearl inlay is really cool.

    I like maple neck but since my C4H is white I'm ok with rosewood.

    The biggest thing that annoys me is the head. I just hate the size and the shape of the head. It's so tiny and looks like it got bitten by someone....
    anyway....good job!
