Custom Bass Necks

greg curbow will build you one, i'm sure. he built a neck for a ripley bass a few months ago. it will probably cost more than your bass, though.

 

I would go through the most common channels -- Moses Graphite, and Status Graphite. Carvin, Warmoth, and Custom Guitars also make necks.

Sweet! Thanks Greg for your input.

Gotta love Luthiers like these

Greg, I never had a chacne to play your Curbow basses.. I would like to whenever I have a chance!

Keep bassin guys!

That Ripley that neptoon mentioned was mine. While the neck certainly wasn't cheap, it was more than worth it. Everytime I pick up the bass, I'm glad I had Greg do the Rockwood neck - can't really describe it, but it's just amazing.

Here's a link on the Curbow site:

I also liked it so much, I went and ordered a whole bass from him...I think Jason, Mike and I may have to take a trip to Georgia and take Greg's computer away from him though!

 

Not me--I'd love to see Greg online more, 'cause he's great to deal with and has lots of experience to contribute. I also think it's cool that he's willing to consider all kinds of off-the-wall projects.

I do want him to finish my bass, though.

Yeah Mike, I'm not knocking Greg for being online. I also like him here. He does amazing work and is open to almost anything you ask him to build.

It was more of an inside joke that the three of us would get (Guess 3 people may be a bit *too* inside for a forum with thousands, huh?)

 

Okie dokie, I know what you mean. Actually, I'm hoping that the fact he's popping in here means that he's making lots of progress on our basses and is starting to look for something else to do.

(Greg, if you're reading this, we're just giving you a hard time because we like you!)

Mike

 

man...greg rules...i'm still wanting to have a pair of basses built with custom body shapes which he was all over building. still waiting to re-enlist!

 

Chris Stambaugh might be able to help out, as he makes replacement parts in addition to custom basses. Contact Dan Lenard at the Luthiers Access Group for more information.

 

If the Curbow doesn't work out you should check out the Moses graphite necks. They really play and sound great! Good workmanship and great to deal with also.

 

Hey!, I Love You Guys...
Gotta Go Though, I've Got LOTS of Work To Do!
